AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how phase-transited lysozyme (PTL) affects human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) in terms of their adhesion, movement, and ability to differentiate and mineralize.
- PTL was found to enhance cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration in HDPCs, as shown through various assays and microscopy techniques.
- Additionally, PTL positively influenced the expression of key genes related to dental development and increased the formation of mineralization nodules in HDPCs.
Article Abstract
Aim: To explore the effects of phase-transited lysozyme (PTL) coated dentine slices on cell adhesion, migration and odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs).
Methodology: Cell growth and cell cycle analysis were conducted to verify the biocompatibility of PTL for HDPCs. Cell adhesion, cell morphology and proliferation were explored by DiI staining, Scanning electron microscopy and MTT assay. Cell migration was investigated by Transwell assay. The effects of PTL on odontogenesis and mineralization of HDPCs were assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. The mineralization of HDPCs was evaluated by Alizarin red staining. HDPCs were isolated from extracted third molars. The level of statistically significant difference was accepted at p < .05.
Results: PTL showed no negative effect on cell cycle of HDPCs and compared with the blank group, HDPCs labelled with DiI staining showed significantly more adhered cells at 48 h (p < .05), extending cell processes and more finger-like or reticular pseudopodia on PTL-coated dentine slices. The results of MTT and Transwell assay showed that PTL promoted the proliferation (p < .05) and migration (p < .01) of HDPCs, respectively. Compared with the blank group, the gene expression of dentine sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), osteopontin and bone sialoprotein in HDPCs cultured on PTL was significantly upregulated on day 3 and 7 (p < .05), while the protein expression of DSPP showed no significant change on both day 7 and day 14. Alizarin red staining showed that PTL promoted more mineralization nodules formation of HDPCs (p < .05).
Conclusions: PTL promoted the adhesion, proliferation and migration of HDPCs on dentine slices, and positively affected odontogenic differentiation and mineralization of HDPCs.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine gluconate-loaded phase-transited lysozyme (CHG@PTL) coating on inhibiting bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation in an ex vivo root canal dentine model.
Methodology: The physicochemical and structural characteristics of CHG@PTL nanoparticle suspension and its coating formed on the dentine surface were analysed by thioflavin T fluorescence assay, transmission electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The sustained chlorhexidine release profile of the CHG@PTL coating on the dentine surface was compared with that of the 2% CHG solution.

The surface of food processing equipment is easily affected by biofilm-forming bacteria, leading to cross-contamination and food safety hazards. The critical issue is how to endow the surface of contact materials with antibacterial and antibiofilm abilities. A sustainable, stable, and antibiofilm coating was prepared by phase transition of glutenin.

With the improvement of the hygiene awareness and pathogen prevention awareness of patients and medical staff, textiles with efficient and long-lasting pathogen inactivation effects are urgently needed. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has rapidly developed into a new type of antibacterial technology due to its high antibacterial activity and has received widespread attention. However, the commonly used photosensitizers are mostly inorganic nanomaterials, which have poor adhesion to textiles and are not environmentally or human friendly.

Dental caries is a dynamic disease induced by the unbalance between demineralization of dental hard tissues caused by biofilm and remineralization of them; however, although various effective remineralization methods have been well documented, it is a challenge to reestablish the balance by enhancing remineralization alone while ignoring the antibacterial therapy. Therefore, the integration of remineralizing and antibacterial technologies offers a promising strategy to halt natural caries progression in clinical practice. Here, the conception of interrupting dental caries (IDC) was proposed based on the development of dual-functional coating with remineralizing and antibacterial properties.

Cardiovascular metal stents have shown potential in the treatment of coronary artery disease using percutaneous coronary intervention. However, thrombosis, endothelialization, and new atherosclerosis after stent implantation remain unsolved problems. Herein, a multifunctional coating material based on phase-transited lysozyme was developed to promote stent endothelialization and simultaneously reduce thrombus events by embedding moieties of heparin and co-immobilized copper ions for in-situ catalyzing nitric oxide (NO) generation.
