The aim of this study was to compare type I collagen degradation by Candida albicans isolated from oral mucosa (M) and cavitated active dentinal caries (CAD) of HIV-infected children.
To verify the proteolytic activity, the specimens were cultivated in brain-heart infusion medium and the supernatants were incubated in the presence or absence of type I collagen at 37°C for 12 hours and analyzed using 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Intensity of the bands on the gels was assessed by densitometric analysis using a scanner and images analyzed with software from Kodak Digital Science EDAS 120.
Supernatants of all the C. albicans degraded type I collagen: that from M, on average, by 38.3% (SD 21.67) and that from CAD by 54% (SD 25.94; Wilcoxon test: P < .05). Predisposing factors had no association with the percentage of type I collagen degradation (Mann-Whitney test: P > .05).
Candida albicans from different sites of the oral cavity of HIV-infected children has proteolytic activity for type I collagen.
本研究旨在比较分离自口腔黏膜(M)和有腔活性牙本质龋(CAD)的 HIV 感染儿童口腔白色念珠菌对 I 型胶原的降解作用。
为了验证蛋白水解活性,将标本在脑心浸液培养基中培养,将上清液在 37°C 下孵育 12 小时,同时存在或不存在 I 型胶原蛋白,并使用 10%十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳进行分析。通过扫描仪对凝胶上的条带进行密度计分析,并使用柯达数字科学 EDAS 120 软件对图像进行分析。
所有白色念珠菌的上清液均能降解 I 型胶原蛋白:M 来源的白色念珠菌平均降解 38.3%(SD 21.67),CAD 来源的白色念珠菌降解 54%(SD 25.94;Wilcoxon 检验:P<.05)。易患因素与 I 型胶原蛋白降解百分比之间无关联(Mann-Whitney 检验:P>.05)。
HIV 感染儿童口腔不同部位的白色念珠菌具有 I 型胶原蛋白的蛋白水解活性。
