Definitions
- the invention belongs to the field of dental bonding and restorative material, and particularly relates to a material for demineralizing dentin collagen fibril and a preparation method and application thereof.
- Teeth are highly mineralized organs of the human body.
- the normal dentin matrix consists of an orderly woven collagen fibril matrix, an orderly arrangement of inorganic phase apatite crystals, and a small amount of non-collagenous protein.
- the mineralization of dentin can be divided into two parts: intrafibrillar mineralization and extrafibrillar mineralization. Although 65% of the minerals in dentin are located outside the fibrils, intrafibrillar mineralization is essential to maintain the fibril morphology, and determines the mechanical properties of dentin on the nanoscale, and can prevent denatured degradation of collagen by exogenous matrix metalloproteinases in the dentin.
- the demineralization and remineralization of the teeth are balanced. However, under pathological conditions, the demineralization effect will be greater than the remineralization effect, leading to the destruction of dental tissues, which in turn will damage the function of the teeth.
- Oral caries the most common oral disease, is the result of the most common pathological demineralization.
- Cariogenic microorganisms can decompose carbohydrates to produce acid, and synergize with endogenous matrix metalloproteinases of dentin, leading to the demineralization of dental minerals and the degradation of collagen organic substances, and gradually form cavities.
- caries has been listed by the World Health Organization as the third largest non-communicable disease after cancer and cardiovascular disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) research data in 2015, 2.4 billion people have caries in permanent teeth and 621 million people have caries in deciduous teeth. The prevention and treatment of caries is not only an issue of stomatology, but it has also become a public health concerning topic.
- the clinical treatment of dental caries is still based on surgical treatment.
- the bonding surface is etched with an acid etchant (such as 30-40% phosphoric acid) so that the dentin collagen fibrils are demineralized; then a binder is applied in and cross-linked with the exposed collagen fibrils to form a mixed layer; finally, the cavity is filled with restorative materials to restore the physiological form and function of the teeth.
- the restorative materials used are mainly tooth-color composite resin materials based on resin dentin bonding. It can be seen that the integrity and stability of the mixed layer formed by the bonding agent and dentin collagen are key factors in the success of the treatment and the long-term existence of the restoration.
- Chitin is a homopolysaccharide with the structure of N-acetylglucosamine polymerized through beta linking. It is widely found in the shells of crustaceans, the crusts of insects, and the cell walls of fungi.
- the chemical name of chitosan is ⁇ -(1 ⁇ 4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose, which is the product of N-deacetylated chitin.
- N-acetyl groups are removed more than 55%.
- the chelating agent can interact with metal atom or ion, and enclose the metal atom or ion within the chelating agent to form a stable complex or chelate.
- the object of the present invention provides a dental demineralizing agent, which can prevent and treat dental caries and improve the stability of the bonding interface, thereby prolonging the service life of the bonding restoration. More specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a conjugate, material and composition for use in dental demineralization, more specifically demineralization of dentin collagen fibril. For example, the object of the present invention is to provide a material for demineralizing dentin collagen fibril.
- the conjugate, material, and composition can maintain the original appearance and network structure of dentin collagen fibrils and facilitate subsequent penetration of the resin binder.
- FIG. 1 shows the infrared spectra of EDTA, glycol chitosan and EDTA-crosslinked glycol chitosan.
- FIG. 2 shows in an inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry method for measuring mineralized dentin, the rate of chelating Ca 2+ by the calcium chelator EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan at different concentrations (50, 25, and 10 mg/ml) as compared with the control 0.1M EDTA.
- FIG. 3A shows comparison of the microtensile strength of dentin bonded with the bonding agent in the wet bonding or dry bonding mode by using different dentin demineralizing agents 32% phosphoric acid (PA), 0.1M EDTA, or 25 mg/ml EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan (glycol chitosan-EDTA, GCE).

- FIG. 3B is a transmission electron microscope image of mineralized dentin treated with different dentin demineralizing agents 0.1M EDTA or 25 mg/ml EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan.
- FIG. 4A shows that EDTA and glycol chitosan-EDTA have similar inhibitory effects on the activity of endogenous recombinant human matrix metalloproteinase-9.
- FIG. 4B compares degree of degradation of dentin collagen in each group of the dentin mixed layers.
- FIG. 5A detects the mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity (Mito.) of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) that had been exposed to different dentin demineralizing agents.
- FIG. 5B detects intracellular DNA content of human dental pulp stem cells that had been exposed to different dentin demineralizing agents.

- the material for demineralizing dentin collagen fibril of the present invention can be used for dentin demineralizing treatment in dental bonding restoration, and used for preparing dental bonding and restorative system.
- the invention has the following effects.
- the donor atoms in the molecular structure of the aminocarboxylic acid metal chelating agent are bonded to the skeleton of the optimized water-soluble chitosan through covalent cross-linking, thereby preparing a new type of calcium ion chelating agent, which make full use of the natural macromolecular properties of chitosan and the excellent calcium ion chelating ability of EDTA.
- This can exert multiple advantages when the conjugate or material according to the present invention is applied to the mineralized dentin surface in the carious area.
- the water-soluble chitosan covalently bonded with an aminocarboxylic acid metal chelating agent has a significantly enhanced ability to chelate calcium ion, quickly reacts with minerals outside of dentin collagen fibrils, and completes demineralization within the time frame (30 seconds or less) which is acceptable in clinical treatment.
- the natural dentin collagen itself has selective permeability. Materials with a molecular weight greater than 40 kDa will be completely excluded from the collagen molecules. Materials with a molecular weight less than 6 kDa can freely pass through the space within the collagen fibrils. Materials with molecular weight between 6 kDa and 40 kDa partially access to the inner of collagen fibrils. Due to the large molecular weight of water-soluble chitosan (82 kDa), the chelating agent cannot enter the inside of the fibril, so that it selectively removes the extrafibrillar minerals from the dentin collagen at the bonding interface and retains the intrafibrillar minerals. This maintains network structure of dentin collagen and promotes the penetration of adhesive resin.
- the water-soluble chitosan is rich in polycationic structures, which can significantly inhibit planktonic microorganisms and bacterial bio-membranes in secondary caries and active root surface caries and allow this new type of calcium ion chelating agent to have the dual functions of rapid demineralization and effective antibacterial action.
- the excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity of the water-soluble chitosan can effectively protect the activity of dental pulp stem cells in a living pulp tooth, avoid the adverse stimulating effect of traditional acid etchants on dental pulp stem cells and provide good prerequisites for regeneration of caries-affected and demineralized dentin.
- the covalent conjugate of water-soluble chitosan and aminocarboxylic acid metal chelating agent is neutral or alkaline in PH, which avoids the local acid environment formed by traditional acid etching agents and causes deficiency or insufficiency of activation of endogenous matrix proteases.
- EDTA aminocarboxylic acid metal chelating agent
- the present invention can selectively remove the extrafibrillar minerals from dentin collagen, so that the dentin collagen fibrils maintain their original morphology and network structure, which is beneficial to the subsequent resin adhesive penetration. Meanwhile, the inner of collagen can be still protected by minerals from degradation under exogenous stimulation. It achieves obvious effects on preventing dental caries, improving the stability of the bonding interface, and extending the use of bonding restorations.
- the invention comprehensively utilizes the advantages of water-soluble chitosan as a natural macromolecule and the efficient calcium ion chelation of EDTA.
- the method according to present invention comprises mixing a water-soluble chitosan solution and an aqueous EDTA solution in an equal volume, and adding a covalent cross-linking agent to conduct a covalent bonding reaction under the action of the cross-linking agent.
- the material used in this Example was prepared as follow: mixing an aqueous solution of glycol chitosan (degree of polymerization ⁇ 400, MilliporeSigma, St. Louis, Mo., USA) with an aqueous solution of EDTA at an appropriate concentration, adding 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide cross-linking agent and continuously stirring for 14 hours at room temperature, and removing the unreacted residue by using an appropriate dialysis condition.
- the total amount used was glycol chitosan 10 g, EDTA 300 g, and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide cross-linking agent 15g.
- a preferred dialysis condition was to place the above reaction solution in a dialysis membrane with a cut-off molecular weight of 12-14 kDa and containing 0.05 M NaOH to remove reactants with smaller molecular weight.
- the uncrosslinked residues were removed via dialysis by using dialysis membrane with a cut-off molecular weight of 12-14 kDa and containing double distilled water.
- the total amount used was glycol chitosan 10 mg, EDTA 300 mg, and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide cross-linking agent 15 mg.
- the EDTA can be sufficiently and rapidly dissolved by adjusting the pH value, for example, adjusting the pH to 8.0.

Abstract
Description
- The invention belongs to the field of dental bonding and restorative material, and particularly relates to a material for demineralizing dentin collagen fibril and a preparation method and application thereof.
- Teeth are highly mineralized organs of the human body. The normal dentin matrix consists of an orderly woven collagen fibril matrix, an orderly arrangement of inorganic phase apatite crystals, and a small amount of non-collagenous protein.
- According to the relative positional relationship between hydroxyapatite and collagen, the mineralization of dentin can be divided into two parts: intrafibrillar mineralization and extrafibrillar mineralization. Although 65% of the minerals in dentin are located outside the fibrils, intrafibrillar mineralization is essential to maintain the fibril morphology, and determines the mechanical properties of dentin on the nanoscale, and can prevent denatured degradation of collagen by exogenous matrix metalloproteinases in the dentin.
- Under normal physiological conditions, the demineralization and remineralization of the teeth are balanced. However, under pathological conditions, the demineralization effect will be greater than the remineralization effect, leading to the destruction of dental tissues, which in turn will damage the function of the teeth.
- Oral caries, the most common oral disease, is the result of the most common pathological demineralization. Cariogenic microorganisms can decompose carbohydrates to produce acid, and synergize with endogenous matrix metalloproteinases of dentin, leading to the demineralization of dental minerals and the degradation of collagen organic substances, and gradually form cavities. At present, caries has been listed by the World Health Organization as the third largest non-communicable disease after cancer and cardiovascular disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) research data in 2015, 2.4 billion people have caries in permanent teeth and 621 million people have caries in deciduous teeth. The prevention and treatment of caries is not only an issue of stomatology, but it has also become a public health concerning topic.
- At present, the clinical treatment of dental caries is still based on surgical treatment. Namely, on the basis of removing the dental caries, firstly, the bonding surface is etched with an acid etchant (such as 30-40% phosphoric acid) so that the dentin collagen fibrils are demineralized; then a binder is applied in and cross-linked with the exposed collagen fibrils to form a mixed layer; finally, the cavity is filled with restorative materials to restore the physiological form and function of the teeth. The restorative materials used are mainly tooth-color composite resin materials based on resin dentin bonding. It can be seen that the integrity and stability of the mixed layer formed by the bonding agent and dentin collagen are key factors in the success of the treatment and the long-term existence of the restoration. However, due to the strong acid etching of phosphoric acid, the dentin collagen matrix is often completely demineralized under the action of an acid etchant. After drying, the dendritic collagen matrix collapses into a sheet shape, making it difficult for the resin adhesive to penetrate into the collagen fibrils. As a result, collagen cannot be well protected by the bonding resin. Under the action of endogenous matrix protease, this part of the poorly penetrated resin area is easily degraded, so that the integrity of the bonding surface is damaged, and the bonding strength is reduced, which may eventually lead to the failure of the resin-dentin bonding restoration. In addition, some studies have found that these endogenous matrix proteases can be activated in a large amount in an acidic environment. Therefore, the use of phosphoric acid to etch dentin stimulates the activity of matrix proteases to a certain extent. These shortcomings are the main factors causing secondary caries around the restoration and degradation of dentin collagen.
- Chitin is a homopolysaccharide with the structure of N-acetylglucosamine polymerized through beta linking. It is widely found in the shells of crustaceans, the crusts of insects, and the cell walls of fungi. The chemical name of chitosan is β-(1→4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose, which is the product of N-deacetylated chitin. Generally, for the chitosan, N-acetyl groups are removed more than 55%.
- The chelating agent can interact with metal atom or ion, and enclose the metal atom or ion within the chelating agent to form a stable complex or chelate.
- Bearing in mind the problems and deficiencies of the prior art, it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a dental demineralizing agent, which can prevent and treat dental caries and improve the stability of the bonding interface, thereby prolonging the service life of the bonding restoration. More specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a conjugate, material and composition for use in dental demineralization, more specifically demineralization of dentin collagen fibril. For example, the object of the present invention is to provide a material for demineralizing dentin collagen fibril. The conjugate, material, and composition can maintain the original appearance and network structure of dentin collagen fibrils and facilitate subsequent penetration of the resin binder.

- The method provided by the present invention includes the steps of mixing the aqueous water-soluble chitosan solution with the EDTA aqueous solution, dissolving the cross-linking agent in the mixed solution, and performing the reaction at room temperature. In the presence of the cross-linking agent, a covalently binding action occurs between the water-soluble chitosan and EDTA. In the reaction, relative to the total mass of the reactants, the part by mass of the water-soluble chitosan can be 0.05 to 20, preferably 0.1 to 15, 0.2 to 10, 0.5 to 8, such as 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

- Preferably, the method of the present invention includes the steps of mixing an aqueous water-soluble chitosan solution at a concentration of 5 to 10 mg/ml with an aqueous EDTA solution at a concentration of 100 to 300 mg/ml in an equal volume; adjusting the pH of the mixed solution to pH 6.0; and afterwards adding 8 to 15 mg of a cross-linking agent at room temperature for 12-16 hours; removing the unreacted residue by dialysis under an appropriate condition; and freeze-drying to obtain a material for demineralizing dentin collagen fibril.
- The material for demineralizing dentin collagen fibril of the present invention can be used for dentin demineralizing treatment in dental bonding restoration, and used for preparing dental bonding and restorative system.
- The invention has the following effects.
- In the present invention, most of the donor atoms in the molecular structure of the aminocarboxylic acid metal chelating agent (such as EDTA) are bonded to the skeleton of the optimized water-soluble chitosan through covalent cross-linking, thereby preparing a new type of calcium ion chelating agent, which make full use of the natural macromolecular properties of chitosan and the excellent calcium ion chelating ability of EDTA. This can exert multiple advantages when the conjugate or material according to the present invention is applied to the mineralized dentin surface in the carious area.
- First, the water-soluble chitosan covalently bonded with an aminocarboxylic acid metal chelating agent (such as EDTA) has a significantly enhanced ability to chelate calcium ion, quickly reacts with minerals outside of dentin collagen fibrils, and completes demineralization within the time frame (30 seconds or less) which is acceptable in clinical treatment.
- Second, the natural dentin collagen itself has selective permeability. Materials with a molecular weight greater than 40 kDa will be completely excluded from the collagen molecules. Materials with a molecular weight less than 6 kDa can freely pass through the space within the collagen fibrils. Materials with molecular weight between 6 kDa and 40 kDa partially access to the inner of collagen fibrils. Due to the large molecular weight of water-soluble chitosan (82 kDa), the chelating agent cannot enter the inside of the fibril, so that it selectively removes the extrafibrillar minerals from the dentin collagen at the bonding interface and retains the intrafibrillar minerals. This maintains network structure of dentin collagen and promotes the penetration of adhesive resin.
- Third, the water-soluble chitosan is rich in polycationic structures, which can significantly inhibit planktonic microorganisms and bacterial bio-membranes in secondary caries and active root surface caries and allow this new type of calcium ion chelating agent to have the dual functions of rapid demineralization and effective antibacterial action.
- Fourth, the excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity of the water-soluble chitosan can effectively protect the activity of dental pulp stem cells in a living pulp tooth, avoid the adverse stimulating effect of traditional acid etchants on dental pulp stem cells and provide good prerequisites for regeneration of caries-affected and demineralized dentin.
- Fifth, the covalent conjugate of water-soluble chitosan and aminocarboxylic acid metal chelating agent (such as EDTA) is neutral or alkaline in PH, which avoids the local acid environment formed by traditional acid etching agents and causes deficiency or insufficiency of activation of endogenous matrix proteases. Meanwhile, due to the chelation of a large amount of calcium ions during the demineralization process, the activity of matrix proteases around the mixed layer of dentin collagen was significantly inhibited, thereby protecting the collagen from enzymatic degradation.
- In summary, the present invention can selectively remove the extrafibrillar minerals from dentin collagen, so that the dentin collagen fibrils maintain their original morphology and network structure, which is beneficial to the subsequent resin adhesive penetration. Meanwhile, the inner of collagen can be still protected by minerals from degradation under exogenous stimulation. It achieves obvious effects on preventing dental caries, improving the stability of the bonding interface, and extending the use of bonding restorations.
- The invention comprehensively utilizes the advantages of water-soluble chitosan as a natural macromolecule and the efficient calcium ion chelation of EDTA. The method according to present invention comprises mixing a water-soluble chitosan solution and an aqueous EDTA solution in an equal volume, and adding a covalent cross-linking agent to conduct a covalent bonding reaction under the action of the cross-linking agent.
- The following are specific Examples provided by the inventor to further explain and elaborate the technical solution of the present invention.
- The material used in this Example was prepared as follow: mixing an aqueous solution of glycol chitosan (degree of polymerization ≥400, MilliporeSigma, St. Louis, Mo., USA) with an aqueous solution of EDTA at an appropriate concentration, adding 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide cross-linking agent and continuously stirring for 14 hours at room temperature, and removing the unreacted residue by using an appropriate dialysis condition. The total amount used was glycol chitosan 10 g, EDTA 300 g, and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide cross-linking agent 15g.
- For example, a preferred dialysis condition was to place the above reaction solution in a dialysis membrane with a cut-off molecular weight of 12-14 kDa and containing 0.05 M NaOH to remove reactants with smaller molecular weight. The uncrosslinked residues were removed via dialysis by using dialysis membrane with a cut-off molecular weight of 12-14 kDa and containing double distilled water. The total amount used was glycol
chitosan 10 mg,EDTA 300 mg, and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide cross-linking agent 15 mg. During the process, the EDTA can be sufficiently and rapidly dissolved by adjusting the pH value, for example, adjusting the pH to 8.0. - In a preferred embodiment, a neutral or alkaline demineralizing material can be prepared by adjusting the pH of the mixed solution to be neutral or alkaline during preparation.
- This Example was different from Example 1 in:
- (1) dissolving glycol chitosan in deionized water to form a chitosan solution at a concentration of 10 mg/ml;
- (2) dissolving EDTA in deionized water to form an aqueous EDTA solution at a concentration of 300 mg/ml;
- (3) mixing the above two solutions in an equal volume and adjusting the pH of the mixed solution to 6.0;
- (4) dissolving the 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide cross-linking agent in the above mixed solution at a concentration of 15 mg/ml to allow the carboxyl functional group on the EDTA molecular chain to covalently bond to the amino functional group on the soluble chitosan skeleton, meanwhile continuously stirring for 14 hours at room temperature; and
- (5) dialyzing the above reaction solution by using a dialysis membrane with a cut-off molecular weight of 12-14 kDa and containing 0.05 M NaOH to remove reactants with smaller molecular weight, wherein the uncrosslinked residues were removed via dialysis by using dialysis membrane with a cut-off molecular weight of 12-14 kDa and containing double distilled water; and storing at -20 ° C. for lyophilization; so that a calcium ion chelator material of water-soluble EDTA cross-linked chitosan was provided.
- According to Example 2, the calcium ion chelator material water-soluble EDTA-crosslinked chitosan constructed by the present invention had the characteristics as shown below.

FIG. 1 show the infrared spectrum of EDTA, glycol chitosan, and EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan. The position and intensity of the infrared absorption peak reflected the features of the structure, composition and chemical groups of EDTA, glycol chitosan, and EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan. For EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan, characteristic absorption peaks (C═O stretching vibrations) of EDTA were detected at a wavelength of 1300-1400 cm−1, indicating that chemical bonding between EDTA and glycol chitosan occurred. -
FIG. 2 show in an inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry method for measuring mineralized dentin, the rate of chelating Ca2+ by the calcium chelator EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan at different concentrations (50, 25, and 10 mg/ml) as compared with the control 0.1M EDTA. The results showed that 0.1M EDTA had the strongest demineralization effect. The demineralization ability of EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan was improved, as the concentration thereof increased. -
FIGS. 3A and 3B show the effects of different dentin demineralizing agents (phosphoric acid (PA), 0.1M EDTA, or 25 mg/ml EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan (GCE)) on the bonding strength after the treatment to the dentin surface. For wet bonding, the conditioned specimen was kept moist by removing excess water from the dentin surface with lint-free tissues prior to bonding. For dry bonding, the conditioned dentin was air-dried with of land moisture-free air for 5 sec. The dentin bond strength was measured by the following methods. After treatment with various demineralizing agents and rinsing with deionized water, each tooth segment was bonded with Adper Single Bond 2 (3M ESPE; St Paul, Minn., USA). After bonding, a 4-mm thick of resin composite (Z250, 3M ESPE) was placed over the adhesive-coated dentin surface using incremental light-curing. The bonded teeth with composite build-ups were storage in water for 24 h at 37° C. Each specimen was subsequently sectioned to 0.9 mm×0.9 mm×7 mm long sticks, each with the resin-dentin interface in the middle of the stick. Each stick was attached with cyanoacrylate glue (Zapit; Dental Ventures of America, Corona, Calif., USA) to a testing jig and stressed to failure under tension in a universal testing machine (Vitrodyne V1000; Liveco Inc., Burlington, Vt., USA) at a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min. The tensile load at failure was recorded and divided by the measured cross-sectioned area of each beam to yield the tensile bond strength. The mean bond strength value derived from the 4 beams of each tooth was used to represent the tensile bond strength of that particular tooth. Data analysis was subsequently performed using the tooth as the statistical unit (n=10 teeth).FIG. 3A showed comparison of the microtensile strength of dentin bonded with the bonding agent in the wet bonding or dry bonding mode by using 32% phosphoric acid treatment for 15 seconds; 0.1M EDTA treatment for 60 seconds, or 25 mg/ml glycol chitosan-EDTA for 30 seconds. Statistical analysis was conducted by using phosphoric acid-wet bonding as a control group. The results showed that in the dry bonding mode, 32% phosphoric acid and 0.1M EDTA groups exhibited a significant decrease in bonding strength (p <0.05). The 25 mg/ml glycol chitosan-EDTA group in both dry bonding and wet bonding modes achieved a bonding strengthen which was not apparently different from that of the control group.FIG. 3B was a transmission electron microscope image of mineralized dentin treated with 0.1M EDTA for 60 seconds or 25 mg/ml glycol chitosan-EDTA for 30 seconds. The EDTA group showed complete demineralization in a part of area and partial demineralization in some areas. The glycol chitosan-EDTA group showed partial demineralization of dentin, exhibiting obvious extrafibrillar spaces having no mineral and intact intrafibrillar mineralization. -
FIGS. 4A and 4B compare the inhibitory effect of different concentrations of EDTA and EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan (GCE) on the activity of endogenous recombinant human matrix metalloproteinase-9 (rHMMP-9), with 32% phosphoric acid (PA) as a control. In this experiment, the inhibitory effect of GCE on soluble MMP-9 was evaluated using purified recombinant human MMP-9 (rhMMP-9) and a generic MMP assay kit (Sensolyte, AnaSpec Inc., Fremont, Calif., USA). The MMP assay kit contains an intact thiopeptolide that is cleaved by specific MMPs to release a sulfhydryl group that produces colored 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid with Ellman's reagent. A series of EDTA and GCE solutions (50 mg/mL, 25 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 5 mg/mL, 1 mg/mL) were used as test agents and 32% H3PO4 was used for comparison. The thiopeptolide substrate solution was diluted to 0.2 mM with assay buffer in a 1:50 volume ratio. In the test compound groups, each well contained 2 μL of rhMMP-9 (19.6 ng/well), 10 μL of potential MMP inhibitor and 50 μL of thiopeptolide substrate solution. Additional assay buffer was added to generate 100 μL per well. The control groups included: (1) a positive control containing rhMMP-9 enzyme only without the potential anti-MMP agent; (2) an inhibitor control containing rhMMP-9 enzyme and 10 μL of GM6001, a known MMP inhibitor; (3) a test compound control containing assay buffer and test solutions at different concentrations; (4) a substrate control containing assay buffer. Readings were taken after 60 min of incubation at 37 ° C. Absorbance was measured at 412 nm using a 96-well plate reader (VICTOR Nivo™, PerkinElmer). Background absorbance was determined from the “substrate control” wells and subtracted from the readings of the other wells containing the thiopeptolide substrate. The potency of rhMMP-9 inhibition by GM6001, the kit-included MMP inhibitor, and the three concentrations of EDTA or GCE were expressed as percentages of the adjusted absorbance of the “positive control”. Inhibition of MMP (%) was calculated as 1−([A]test compound group−[A]test compound control)/([A]positive control−[A]substrate control), where [A] represents the absorbance values of the wells. For each test solution, the mean absorbance value was calculated from values derived from six wells.FIG. 4A shows that EDTA and glycol chitosan-EDTA have similar inhibitory effects on the activity of endogenous recombinant human matrix metalloproteinase-9.FIG. 4B compares degree of degradation of dentin collagen in each group of the dentin mixed layers. The results showed that the degradation rate of collagen in the 32% phosphate group was the highest, followed by EDTA, and the EDTA crosslinked glycol chitosan was the weakest. This indicated that the protection effect of EDTA crosslinked glycol chitosan group on dentin collagen is the best. -
FIGS. 5A and 5B show the cytotoxicity test of differentdentin demineralizing agents 32% phosphoric acid (PA), 0.1M EDTA, or 25 mg/ml EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan (GCE) with PBS as a control.FIG. 5A detects the mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity (Mito.) of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) that had been exposed to different dentin demineralizing agents.FIG. 5B detects intracellular DNA content of human dental pulp stem cells that had been exposed to different dentin demineralizing agents. The results showed that the cell viability was highest in the EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan group, followed by the EDTA group, and the lowest in the 32% phosphate group, indicating that EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan among the three dentin demineralizing agents had the lowest cytotoxicity. - Table 1 showed the characterization of molecular weight of glycol chitosan and EDTA cross-linked glycol chitosan by gel permeation chromatography, and the characterization of cross-linking degree between glycol chitosan and EDTA. The results showed that the molecular weight of glycol chitosan-EDTA formed after cross-linking was significantly increased, while the amount of free amine groups was significantly reduced, indicating that almost all of the amino groups on the glycol chitosan backbone and the carboxyl groups on the EDTA molecules reacted and covalently bonded to form amide bonds.
