Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, we aimed to inhibit the growth of selected bacterial species in oral microflora by using antisense PNA (peptide nucleic acids). By targeting the HSP and AcpP genes of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, the antisense PNAs were designed and synthesized with carrier paptide (KFFKFFKFFK). For P. gingivalis, both antisense PNAs effectively inhibited the growth. Especially, anti-HSP PNA completely inhibited the growth for 5 hours. Comparing to P. gingivalis, the inhibit effect was weak for A. actinomycetemcomitans. Anti-HSP PNA slightly inhibit the growth, while anti-AcpP PNA did not show the effect. The cause of the low effect may be due to the small uptake of the PNA in A. actinomycetemcomitans. Antisense PNA may have the potential to reduce the population of P. gingivalis in oral microflora. New designs for carrier peptide and the target genes will be required for A. actinomycetemcomitans.
