Description

In vitro plaque biofilm model and method for evaluating efficacy of oral products
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of efficacy evaluation of oral products. In particular, the invention relates to an ex vivo plaque biofilm model and method for evaluating the efficacy of oral products.
Background
With the development of the consumer electronics industry in China, the competition of oral cavity electronic products in China and internationally is vigorous, and the consumer acceptance of oral cavity cleaning products such as electric toothbrushes, tooth flushers and the like is rapidly growing. Based on the market prospect, a large number of emerging electric toothbrushes and tooth-rinsing devices are on the market, however, due to price competition, the products are uneven, and a unified testing method and a verification method are lacked to evaluate the efficacy and quality of the oral cavity electronic products.
The traditional verification method of the oral electronic product is basically to recruit a certain number of volunteers to conduct actual tooth brushing test through clinical means. However, this method has limitations such as complicated test procedures, long period, high cost, etc., and because it is limited by individual differences among subject population (including differences in dental care conditions, differences in oral cleaning habits, etc.), it is difficult to quantify and make statistical significance for the results obtained if volunteers with a sufficient sample size do not participate. The traditional method is difficult to copy or transversely compare in different batches of product tests due to the fact that the traditional method is influenced by large human factors and lacks consistency among tests, so that the traditional method is difficult to expand in scale to carry out repeated tests on the aspects of efficiency verification and comparison and optimization of products, and positive promotion effects are generated on product research and development. Therefore, there is a lack of effective means for efficient, accurate, stable, repeatable testing of the cleaning efficacy of products in the oral electronics industry.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art at least to some extent. Therefore, the invention provides an in-vitro dental plaque biomembrane model for evaluating the efficacy of an oral product, application of the in-vitro dental plaque biomembrane model in evaluating the efficacy of the oral product and a method for evaluating the dental plaque cleaning efficacy of the oral product. In addition, the method for preparing the isolated dental plaque biomembrane model is simple and convenient to operate, strong in repeatability, good in stability, high in efficiency and suitable for scale production.
In one aspect, the invention provides an in vitro plaque biofilm model for evaluating efficacy of an oral product. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the in vitro plaque biofilm model for evaluating efficacy of oral products comprises: a substrate; the dental plaque biomembrane is formed on the surface of the substrate, and microorganisms in the dental plaque biomembrane are oral streptococcus mutans.
The isolated dental plaque biomembrane model for evaluating the efficacy of the oral product adopts a single strain to form the dental plaque biomembrane, has the advantages that the single strain has outstanding characteristics, can screen culture conditions suitable for stable growth according to the physiological and biochemical characteristics, the structure and the efficacy, and has definite purposes; the method is easy to screen better strains and culture conditions, and the culture conditions are easy to control; the biological membrane is easy to culture and obtain, and the repeatability is strong. However, compared with single strains, if mixed strains are adopted to form dental plaque biomembrane, the strain is complex, the difference of growth characteristics of different strains is strong, and when anaerobic bacteria, facultative anaerobic bacteria and strict anaerobic bacteria coexist, the culture environment is limited, and the screening of the culture conditions is complicated. In addition, the strains contained in the oral cavity belong to a dynamic balance state, if complex bacteria are used for culturing, the proper growth proportion of each strain is more complex to screen, and besides the living habit of the single strain per se, whether the strain is harmful to the growth of individuals or not is considered. If lactobacillus produces a large amount of lactic acid, the growth of acid-fast bacteria is necessarily limited if the bacteria are present in the culture system. In addition, when the bacteria are cultured, the adhesion of the bacterial plaque biological film is easy to be influenced among multiple bacteria and is not uniform in the bacterial plaque forming process, so that the whole environment of the growth of the bacteria is influenced, and the bacterial plaque biological film is not beneficial to forming.
The inventors of the present invention have found that the adhesiveness of dental plaque biofilm in a dental plaque biofilm model can significantly affect its application effects, such as efficacy assessment of oral care products. If the adhesion of the dental plaque biomembrane is weaker, the dental plaque biomembrane is easy to brush or wash and fall off, so that the efficacy of the product cannot be accurately judged, and the efficacy difference between different products cannot be effectively distinguished; if the adhesion of the dental plaque biomembrane is too strong, the dental plaque biomembrane is not easy to remove, the efficacy of the product cannot be accurately judged, the cleaning efficacy of the product can be misjudged, and the product such as a toothbrush is easy to adhere, so that the subsequent treatment cannot be performed, and the evaluation fails.
Furthermore, the inventors conducted a number of optimization screens against numerous bacteria in the oral cavity to obtain the preferred species, streptococci mutans in the oral cavity. Particularly, most of oral bacteria are classified into periodontal pathogenic bacteria and cariogenic bacteria, and early researches find that the two types of bacteria have obviously different adhesive capacities on hydroxyapatite, the adhesive capacities of the periodontal pathogenic bacteria on the surface of the hydroxyapatite are obviously weaker than those of the cariogenic bacteria, the bacteria cannot be like the cariogenic bacteria, the bacteria can be directly adhered to the surface of a carrier, for example, porphyromonas gingivalis cannot form a biological film on the surface of the carrier. The adhesion of bacteria having strong adhesion in periodontal disease, such as Streptococcus sanguis and Actinomyces viscosus, is enhanced by recognition of the corresponding receptor, and the adhesion is reduced when the bacteria are cultured separately.
As described above, the single-cell culture is significantly advantageous over the mixed-cell culture, and thus cariogenic bacteria are preferred. The streptococcus mutans in the cariogenic bacteria has stronger adhesiveness and is easy to culture, and the correspondingly better dental plaque biological film can be obtained by simply changing culture conditions based on different viscosity requirements of the oral care product to be tested. And moreover, the obtained dental plaque biomembrane is good in stability and strong in repeatability, the efficacy of different oral cleaning products can be verified by unified standards, and the efficacy difference of the oral cleaning products can be well screened.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The following examples are illustrative only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention. The examples are not to be construed as limiting the specific techniques or conditions described in the literature in this field or as per the specifications of the product. The reagents or apparatus used were conventional products commercially available without the manufacturer's attention.
The invention provides an in-vitro dental plaque biofilm model for evaluating the efficacy of an oral product, and application of the in-vitro dental plaque biofilm model and a method for evaluating the efficacy of the oral product, and the method is used for evaluating the plaque cleaning efficacy of the oral product, and the in-vitro dental plaque biofilm model and the method are respectively described in detail below.
In-vitro dental plaque biomembrane model applied to evaluation of efficacy of oral product
In one aspect, the invention provides an in vitro plaque biofilm model for evaluating efficacy of an oral product. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the in vitro plaque biofilm model for evaluating efficacy of oral products comprises: a substrate; the dental plaque biomembrane is formed on the surface of the substrate, and microorganisms in the dental plaque biomembrane are oral streptococcus mutans. As described above, the dental plaque biofilm which is stable and moderate in viscosity is easily obtained from the streptococcus mutans, the dental plaque biofilm with better quality can be obtained by simply changing the culture conditions based on the different adhesion requirements of the oral care product to be tested, and the culture conditions are mild and the repeatability is good.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the absorbance value of the mixed solution obtained by mixing the dental plaque biological film with 1 milliliter of solvent at the wavelength of 575nm is 3-4. The absorbance values of the dental plaque biofilm reflect the bacterial content, and the inventor finds that the adhesiveness of the dental plaque biofilm can significantly influence the application effect of the dental plaque biofilm, such as efficacy evaluation of oral products. If the viscosity of the dental plaque biomembrane is weak, the dental plaque biomembrane is easy to brush or wash and fall off, so that the efficacy of the product cannot be accurately judged, and the difference between different products cannot be effectively distinguished; if the viscosity of the dental plaque biomembrane is too high, the dental plaque biomembrane is not easy to remove, the efficacy of the product cannot be accurately judged, the cleaning efficacy of the product can be misjudged, and the product such as a toothbrush is easy to adhere, so that the subsequent treatment cannot be performed, and the evaluation fails. Further, the inventors have found through intensive studies that the viscosity of the dental plaque biofilm having the absorbance value is moderate, so that the efficacy of oral care products can be accurately evaluated, the cleaning efficacy of different oral products can be evaluated with a uniform standard, and the difference in cleaning efficacy of oral products can be well screened.
The type of solvent to be mixed with the dental plaque biofilm is not strictly limited, so long as a uniform bacterial suspension can be formed.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the substrate comprises hydroxyapatite or a cell slide or cover glass or collagen-coated resin or enamel slice or plate. The substrate material plays a supporting role to enable thalli to grow and enrich on the surface to form a biological film, wherein the effect of the hydroxyapatite is better, and the following 3 points are mainly shown: 1) The main component of hydroxyapatite is (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) (HAP) which is consistent with the surface of the oral teeth and can greatly reflect the symbiotic process and the plaque formation trend of the oral cavity and the colony of a human body; 2) The hydroxyapatite surface has small and compact pores, is similar to an enamel surface structure, is easier for colony adhesion, and effectively prevents colony depositionEvaluation errors caused by too little or too much; 3) Synthetic Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a biologically active and non-toxic ceramic material that closely resembles the inorganic parts of human teeth and bones. Various synthetic apatites are used depending on the manufacturing technique used. Hydroxyapatite for biomedical applications is prepared by chemical methods to obtain specific properties such as chemical purity, crystal morphology and crystal size. Specifically, the absorbance value of the aforementioned dental plaque biofilm was calculated as a dental plaque biofilm formed by completely coating a hydroxyapatite surface of 12mm×2mm size.
Application of
In yet another aspect of the invention, the invention provides the use of an ex vivo plaque biofilm model for evaluating the efficacy of an oral product. According to an embodiment of the invention, the isolated dental plaque biofilm model is the isolated dental plaque biofilm model applied to evaluating the efficacy of oral products. Therefore, the dental plaque biomembrane model can be used for evaluating the efficacy of oral products, and has the advantages of high accuracy, strong repeatability, good stability and the like, and has good application prospect.
It should be noted that the type of the oral product is not strictly limited, and the oral product can be an oral care electronic product (such as an electric toothbrush, a tooth washing device and the like), a related personal care product (such as toothpaste, a common toothbrush, mouthwash and the like) and an active ingredient (such as a substance with antibacterial effect and the like), and can be flexibly selected according to actual situations, and the description is omitted here.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the efficacy comprises a plaque cleaning efficacy and/or a plaque prevention efficacy. The plaque cleaning efficacy and/or plaque preventing efficacy of the oral product can be effectively evaluated using the plaque biofilm model as described previously.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for preparing an isolated dental plaque biofilm model for evaluating efficacy of an oral product includes: and forming the dental plaque biomembrane on the surface of the substrate to obtain an in-vitro dental plaque biomembrane model for evaluating the efficacy of the oral product.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method includes: (1) Carrying out activation culture on the streptococcus mutans in a brain heart infusion culture medium to obtain a bacterial strain enrichment medium; immersing the substrate in artificial saliva for culture to obtain a substrate with a saliva-obtaining film formed on the surface; (2) Co-culturing the activated bacterial liquid, the substrate with the saliva-obtained film formed on the surface and a brain heart infusion culture medium containing sucrose, and forming a dental plaque biomembrane on the surface of the substrate; (3) Collecting the substrate with the dental plaque biomembrane formed on the surface, cleaning and removing excessive plankton and culture medium, and then carrying out fixing treatment on the substrate with the dental plaque biomembrane formed on the surface by using a fixing agent to obtain the isolated dental plaque biomembrane model for evaluating the efficacy of oral products.
In the step (1), the streptococcus mutans is subjected to activation culture so as to improve the activity and quantity of the streptococcus mutans. The culture of different strains has different proper nutrition components, and the inventor carries out the culture in a trypticase soy agar culture medium (TSA culture medium) and a brain heart infusion culture medium (BHI culture medium) respectively in the earlier stage, and because TSA is a general nutrition culture medium, the culture medium is mainly used for the culture of various microorganisms, but is mainly used for the colony counting culture of microorganisms, and the growth of the streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity is slower on the culture medium. Compared with the method, the BHI culture medium is mainly used for enrichment culture of bacteria, and under the same culture conditions, the oral streptococcus mutans is in a good growth state in the BHI culture medium.
The substrate is used for co-culture with artificial saliva so as to form a saliva-obtaining film on the surface of the substrate, which is helpful for the subsequent formation of dental plaque biomembrane. The artificial saliva is adopted because the artificial saliva has strong controllability and high repeatability, and the saliva of natural people is directly adopted, so that the saliva is easy to have different compositions due to different collected samples, and the whole preparation scheme has low controllability and poor repeatability.
In step (2), during the co-cultivation, bacteria adhere and aggregate on the substrate on which the saliva-obtaining film is formed, and proliferate in large amounts to form mature plaques.

The L x a x b x values of the stained plaque biofilm were measured using a color difference meter. Placing the dental plaque biomembrane model in an experimental group parallel to the preparation process of the dental plaque biomembrane model to be treated in an orifice plate, adding 1mL of 33% glacial acetic acid-crystal violet solution into the orifice plate, placing the orifice plate on an oscillator, oscillating at room temperature for 30min, sucking 200 mu L of bacteria-containing glacial acetic acid-crystal violet solution from each orifice to a new 96 orifice plate after the oscillation is finished, and measuring absorbance value at 575nm for detection.

The results are shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. The dental plaque cultured for 24 hours can not be sufficiently adhered on the hydroxyapatite sheet due to low adhesive force, and can be directly removed from the hydroxyapatite once the water flow of the dental irrigator flows through, so that some parts are not cleaned in practice, and the error is large. The growth of the dental plaque cultivated in 48 hours and 72 hours is more sufficient, the adhesion of the dental plaque is stronger, and the functional requirements of the dental irrigator can be met. From the practical point of view analysis, the dental irrigator is mainly used for cleaning dental plaque of periodontal tissues, deep layers of the teeth and other difficult-to-clean parts, the growth time of the dental plaque at the position is longer, the dental plaque is more consistent with the dental plaque cultured for 48 hours and 72 hours theoretically, and a certain mapping can be obtained in the result of the embodiment 3. Thus, 72 hours of incubation was selected as the preferred incubation time.

S1 to S3 are the same as those of example 2.
2. Evaluation of plaque cleaning efficacy of electric toothbrushing
S4, S4 of the embodiment 2.
S5, simulating the moist environment of the oral cavity of a human body by using the hydroxyapatite sheet after the fixing in S4, enabling the electric toothbrushes 1 and 2 to respectively treat corresponding dental plaque biological films, specifically, brushing the dental plaque biological films horizontally for 5-8 seconds, simulating the mouthwash action of the human body after the brushing is finished, cleaning the dental plaque biological film model after the brushing for 1 or 2 times by using water, and airing the dental plaque biological films. Meanwhile, a negative control group is arranged, and dental plaque biomembrane is not processed by adopting any electric toothbrush.
And (3) placing the dried hydroxyapatite sheet in a studio, taking a photo at the same light source, the same illumination intensity and the same position as in the step (4), recording the value of Lx a x b x of the apparent form sum of the residual dental plaque biomembrane on the surface after the hydroxyapatite sheet is washed by a tooth washer, and calculating a color difference value (delta E value). And placing the hydroxyapatite sheet with the measured value of Lab in a new 24-well plate, adding 95% ethanol-crystal violet solution into each well, placing the well plate on an oscillator for 30min at room temperature, sucking 200 mu L of ethanol-crystal violet solution from each well to a new 96-well plate after the oscillation is finished, and measuring absorbance value at 575 nm.
The results are shown in fig. 6 and 7. The dental plaque biomembrane formed after 48h and 72h of co-culture is too compact and high in viscosity, so that the dental plaque biomembrane is stuck on an electric toothbrush, and cannot be brushed later, and evaluation fails. The dental plaque biomembrane formed after 24 hours of co-culture has moderate viscosity, can be used for evaluating the dental plaque cleaning efficacy of the electric toothbrush, and can distinguish the efficacy of different tooth flushers. The experimental 24h results are consistent with the clinical plaque cleaning effects performed for electric toothbrushes 1 and 2.
Example 5
In this example, the method for preparing a dental plaque biofilm model of example 1 was performed, wherein the co-cultivation time of step 1 was 24 hours, and the sucrose addition concentration in the bhi medium was 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% in this order. Thus, the effect of different sucrose content in BHI medium on plaque biofilm formation was compared.
As shown in fig. 8, when no sucrose is added, no plaque biofilm is formed on the surface of the hydroxyapatite sheet, the average absorbance between the repetition of the plaque biofilm is 0.895, and when sucrose is added in the culture medium, the surface of the hydroxyapatite sheet forms a visible plaque biofilm, and the adhesion is better, compared with the case that no sucrose is added, the plaque biofilm is increased after the sucrose is added, but the plaque biofilm amount is not increased along with the increase of the concentration of the sucrose, and when the concentration of the sucrose is 1%, the plaque biofilm amount is almost maintained in a certain range and is between about 3.0 and 3.5, thereby indicating that the formation of the plaque biofilm depends on the addition of the concentration of the sucrose, and the effect of 1% of the sucrose is better than that of the sucrose without the addition of the sucrose and 0.5%; the addition of 2%, 3% and 5% sucrose has no significant effect on the formation of bacterial plaque. Finally, a sucrose content of 0.1% was selected as the preferred additive amount.
Example 6
In this example, the method for producing a dental plaque biofilm model according to example 1 was carried out, wherein the co-cultivation time of step 1 was 24 hours, and the concentration of the strain-increasing liquid was adjusted to be set to three concentration ranges of low concentration, medium concentration, high concentration, and the like in this order, and the low concentration was 10 6- 10 7 CFU/mL, medium concentration of 10 7- 10 8 CFU/mL, high concentration of 10 8- 10 9 CFU/mL. Thus, the effect of different bacterial concentrations on plaque biofilm formation was compared.
As shown in FIG. 9, the concentration of the strain was closely related to the adhesion of the plaque biofilm, and the low concentration range was 10 6- 10 7 CFU/mL plaque biofilm has poor adhesion, and the plaque biofilm is formed sparsely, while the medium concentration range is 10 7- 10 8 CFU/mL, the bacterial plaque biomembrane is compact, the bacterial plaque biomembrane quantity is about 1.6 times of the low concentration, and the high concentration range is 10 8- 10 9 CFU/mL, the formed bacterial plaque biomembrane is also compact, and compared with the medium concentration, the bacterial plaque biomembrane quantity is about 1 time of the medium concentration, and although the bacterial plaque biomembrane quantity is statistically different, the bacterial plaque biomembrane quantity is slowly increased. Finally, select 10 7 ~10 8 CFU/mL was used as the preferred bacteria concentration.
Example 7
In this example, the method of preparing a plaque biofilm model according to example 1 was performed, wherein the artificial saliva in step 1 was replaced with deionized water. Thus, the effect of artificial saliva on plaque biofilm formation was compared.
As a result, as shown in fig. 10, when the hydroxyapatite sheet was immersed for 24 hours in deionized water, a plaque biofilm was formed on the surface, but it was sparse, quantified by the plaque biofilm, the average absorbance between repetitions was 1.73, and immersed for 24 hours in artificial saliva, the plaque biofilm was formed on the surface, relatively dense, quantified by the plaque biofilm, and the average absorbance was 3.24, thereby demonstrating that the amount of plaque biofilm in the artificial saliva group was significantly increased compared to the deionized water immersed group, thereby demonstrating the importance of the presence of artificial saliva.
