1)S100-A7及びMMP20と反応させたS100-A7を用いた直接覆髄実験 本研究は大阪大学大学院歯学研究科動物実験委員会の承認下で実施した(承認番号:28-013-0)。
直接覆髄後の試料について、形成された第三象牙質の定量評価を目的にマイクロCT (R-mCT2(商標), RIGAKU, 東京) を用いた画像解析をおこなった。被験歯の断層撮影は管電圧90 kV、管電流160 μA、スライス幅5 μmの条件でおこない、撮影により得られたデータに対し、上顎第一臼歯の水平断面をXY平面、矢状断面をYZ平面、前頭断面をZX平面とし、YZ平面にて露髄部直下に認められる不透過像を新生第三象牙質とした。原生象牙質と同等のCT値を第三象牙質抽出の閾値に設定し、2値化画像から新生第三象牙質の面積を計算した。各断面の新生第三象牙質面積を計測し、全てを合計することで新生第三象牙質の体積を算出した。画像解析ソフトウェアはTRI 3D-BON (RATOK, 東京) を使用した。
マイクロCT解析に用いた試料を、4 %パラホルムアルデヒド・リン酸緩衝液にて12時間、4℃にて浸漬固定後、カルキトックス(富士フイルム和光純薬, 大阪) 中にて2日間の低温脱灰をおこなった。脱灰終了後、上昇アルコール系列で脱水、パラフィン包埋をおこない、回転式ミクロトーム(RM 2155, Leica, ドイツ) にて厚さ5 μmの連続切片を作成後、ヘマトキシリン-エオジン(H-E) 染色を行った。第三象牙質の病理組織学的評価は光学顕微鏡(BZ-X700, KEYENCE, 大阪) 下にておこなった。
マイクロCT撮影後、画像解析にて計測した第三象牙質の体積の比較について、統計学的有意差検定にStudent’s t-testを用いて危険率5 %で評価した。
マイクロCT解析の結果、S100-A7単体若しくはMMP20と反応させたS100-A7を覆髄材として用いた場合の双方において、露髄部を完全に覆う第三象牙質形成が観察された(図1A)。
ヒト由来のProtein S100を用いてラットを対象に直接覆髄実験をおこなったにも関わらず、歯髄創傷治癒を促進したことから、異なる動物種においても保存されているProtein S100由来のアミノ酸配列が機能を発揮する可能性が高いと考えられる。そのため、Protein S100ファミリー間で保存されている機能配列の探索を目的として、以下の実験をおこなった。
1)配列アライメントを用いたProtein S100 ファミリーのアミノ酸配列の相同性の探索 象牙質基質成分 (Dentin Matrix Components: DMCs)においてその存在が報告されており、かつ歯髄創傷治癒への関与が示唆されているタンパク質であるS100-A7、S100-A8、S100-A9の3種類を用い、さらにS100-A7についてはPolar bear、Brandt's bat、Chinese tree shrew、Black flying fox、David's myotis、Human、Bovine、Horseの8種、S100-A8はHuman、Bovine、Mouse、Ratの4種、またS100-A9はHuman、Bovine、Rabbit、Mouse、Ratの5種の哺乳類のアミノ酸配列を対象として相同性の高い領域を検索するため、配列アライメントを実施した。比較検討を実施したアミノ酸配列は、タンパク質のアミノ酸配列に関する情報を網羅的に収集したデータベースであるUniprot (https://www.uniprot.org/) に登録されているものを用い、配列アライメントはマルチプルアライメントプログラムであるCLUSTAL-W (https://www.genome.jp/tools-bin/clustalw) を用いて実施した。
配列アライメントにて得られたS100-A7、S100-A8及びS100-A9のアミノ酸配列の相同性が高い領域の中から、機能ペプチドのスクリーニング法であるペプチドアレイ法にて用いる候補ペプチドをヒトProtein S100のアミノ酸配列から選出した。ペプチドのアミノ酸残基数の決定にあたり、現在約100種類以上存在するペプチド医薬品の約80%は10残基以内のペプチド医薬品であること、また骨芽細胞上のReceptor Activator of Nuclear factor-Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) に結合して骨形成シグナルを促進することが報告されているW9ペプチドが9残基から構成されていること等の情報から、本研究においても9残基を用いることとした。
1)配列アライメントを用いたProtein S100 ファミリーのアミノ酸配列の相同性の探索 S100-A7、S100-A8、S100-A9の3種類のタンパク質について、複数の哺乳類のアミノ酸配列を対象として、相同性の高い領域を検索するため配列アライメントを実施した。その結果、網掛けで示す領域に相同性の高い部分が3箇所認められ(図3のA、B、C)、これらの領域から、次におこなうペプチドアレイ法に用いる候補ペプチドを選出した。候補ペプチドの選出は、図4に示すように、配列アライメント(図3)において、相同性が高かった部位におけるヒトProtein S100のアミノ酸配列のN末から9残基を選び、候補ペプチドとした。その候補ペプチドから3残基ずつずらしたものも同様に候補ペプチドとし、S100-A7、S100-A8、及びS100-A9について相同性が高かったA、B、Cの領域から計58種類の候補ペプチドを選出した(図5)。
58種類の候補ペプチド存在下におけるhDPSCsの石灰化能の定量結果を図6に示す。図6の中で、hDPSCsの石灰化を誘導する上位10種のペプチドを「*」で示し、これら10種のペプチドを配列アライメントのペプチド選出領域の結果と照合した結果を図7に示す。図7中の2箇所の黒枠で囲んだ領域において、hDPSCsの石灰化促進を示したペプチドが多く重複しているのが認められた。その重複した領域から、図7b中の領域からS100-A8由来のペプチド(アミノ酸配列KLLETECPQ:配列番号28、「No.28ペプチド」とも称する) とS100-A9由来のペプチド(アミノ酸配列ELVRKDLQN:配列番号47、「No.47ペプチド」) を、図7-c中の領域からS100-A8由来のペプチド (アミノ酸配列NTDGAVNFQ:配列番号32、「No. 32ペプチド」とも称する) とS100-A9由来のペプチド(アミノ酸配列NADKQLSFE:配列番号51、「No. 51ペプチド」とも称する) の4種類のペプチドが機能的な配列となる可能性が高いと考え、以降の実験にて検証をおこなった。
Protein S100ファミリー由来機能ペプチドであるNo. 28ペプチド、No. 47ペプチド、No. 32ペプチド、及びNo. 51ペプチドが歯髄創傷治癒に与える影響を調べるために、以下の実験をおこなった。
1)Protein S100ファミリー由来ペプチドがhDPSCsへの毒性及び増殖能に与える影響の評価
4種類のペプチドを、0.1、1、10、100 μg/mlの濃度で添加した10 %FBS含有α-MEM培地にhDPSCsを5,000 cells/well となるように96 wellプレートに播種し、37℃、5 %CO2気相下で2日間培養した。毒性試験は、培養液上清を採取し、LDH Cytotoxicity Detection Kit (タカラバイオ, 滋賀) を用いてLDH-assay をおこなった。採取した培養液上清に試薬を添加し、37℃、5 %CO2気相下で30分静置した。その後、マイクロプレートリーダー(ARVO MX) を用いて405 nmにおける吸光度を測定した。さらに、増殖能を評価するため、継続して同細胞を1日培養後、Premix WST-1 Cell Proliferation Assay System (タカラバイオ) を用いてWST-1-assayをおこなった。WST-1試薬を培養液中に添加し、37℃、5%CO2気相下で30分静置した。続いて室温で1分間振盪の後、マイクロプレートリーダー(ARVO MX) を用いて450 nmにおける吸光度を測定した。コントロールとして、PBSを培養液中に添加したものを用い、試料数は各条件につき6とした。
Protein S100ファミリー由来ペプチドが第三象牙質形成能に与える影響を評価するために上記I.の1.材料及び方法の1)と同様の手法で、100 μg/mlの濃度でNo. 28、No. 47、No. 32、及びNo. 51の各ペプチドを含有したPBS溶液をそれぞれ20 μl浸漬させたゼラチンスポンジ(Spongel(商標)) を用いてラット臼歯を対象とした直接覆髄実験をおこなった。コントロールとしてペプチドの由来タンパク質の組換え体であるS100-A8(PROSPEC, イスラエル)、S100-A9 (PROSPEC) を1 μg/mlの濃度で含有したPBS溶液及びPBS溶液のみを用いた。覆髄処置から4週間経過後、露髄部直下に形成された第三象牙質についてマイクロCT撮影ならびに画像解析を実施し、Okamotoらが過去に実施した直接覆髄実験で、病理組織像より観察された第三象牙質の形成量をスコアリングしていた評価方法を、本研究ではマイクロCTの画像に応用し、形成された第三象牙質のスコアリングにて評価をおこなった[Clinical Oral Investigations 2018, 22(8):2879-2887.;Journal of Dentistry 2010, 38(10):828-837]。スコアは、露髄部の1/3以下のエリアにのみ第三象牙質が形成されたものをGrade 0、露髄部の1/3~2/3のものをGrade 1、露髄部の2/3以上のものをGrade 2、露髄部を完全に覆う第三象牙質形成を認めるものをGrade 3として一人の術者が評価をおこなった。これに加えて、上記I.の1.材料及び方法の2)と同様の手法で同じマイクロCT画像の解析をおこない、形成された第三象牙質の体積の評価をおこなった。また上記I.の1.材料及び方法の3)と同様の手法でH-E染色を実施し、第三象牙質形成について病理組織学的評価をおこなった。試料数は各条件につき8とした。
上記の実験における統計学的有意差検定は、細胞毒性試験にOne-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test 、細胞増殖試験及び直接覆髄実験における第三象牙質形成量の比較にはKruskal-Wallis-test を用い、危険率5 %で評価した。
1)Protein S100ファミリー由来ペプチドがhDPSCsへの毒性及び増殖能に与える影響の評価
各ペプチドの細胞毒性についてLDH-assayにより検討した結果、No. 28及びNo. 47ペプチドでは全濃度の試料で、No. 32ペプチドでは1 μg/ml、No. 51ペプチドでは100 μg/ml 及び10 μg/mlを用いた試料において、コントロールと比較し有意に低い細胞毒性を示した(p< 0.05)(図8A)。その他の試料ではコントロールとの間に有意差は認めなかった(p>0.05)。
一方、各ペプチドが細胞増殖能に与える影響については、全ての試料でコントロールとの間に有意差は認めなかった(p>0.05)(図8B) 。
覆髄後に形成された第三象牙質をスコア化した結果を図9Aに示す。No. 28ペプチドを用いて覆髄を行った結果、5つの試料において露髄部を完全に封鎖するような第三象牙質形成を認めたのに対し、他のペプチドを用いた場合は露髄部を完全に封鎖するのは0もしくは1試料のみであった。コントロールとしてS100-A8組換えタンパク質を用いた場合は露髄部の完全封鎖は1試料で、S100-A9では2試料、PBSでは0試料であった。
