PG - 4553-4562 LID - 10.2147/IJN.S139178 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: The interaction of Porphyromonas gingivalis with commensal streptococci promotes P. gingivalis colonization of the oral cavity. We previously showed that a synthetic peptide (BAR) derived from Streptococcus gordonii potently inhibited the formation of P. gingivalis/S. gordonii biofilms (IC(50) =1.3 microM) and reduced P. gingivalis virulence in a mouse model of periodontitis. Thus, BAR represents a novel therapeutic to control periodontitis by limiting P. gingivalis colonization of the oral cavity. Here, we sought to develop drug-delivery vehicles for potential use in the oral cavity that comprise BAR-modified poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs). METHODS: PLGA-NPs were initially modified with palmitylated avidin and subsequently conjugated with biotinylated BAR. The extent of BAR modification was quantified using a fluorescent-labeled peptide. Inhibition of P. gingivalis adherence to S. gordonii by BAR-modified NPs was compared with free peptide using a two-species biofilm model. RESULTS: BAR-modified NPs exhibited an average size of 99+/-29 nm and a more positive surface charge than unmodified NPs (zeta potentials of -7 mV and -25 mV, respectively). Binding saturation occurred when 37 nmol BAR/mg of avidin-NPs was used, which resulted in a payload of 7.42 nmol BAR/mg NPs. BAR-modified NPs bound to P. gingivalis in a dose-dependent manner and more potently inhibited P. gingivalis/S. gordonii adherence and biofilm formation relative to an equimolar amount of free peptide (IC(50) of 0.2 microM versus 1.3 microM). BAR-modified NPs also disrupted the preformed P. gingivalis/S. gordonii biofilms more effectively than free peptide. Finally, we demonstrate that BAR-modified NPs promoted multivalent association with P. gingivalis, providing an explanation for the increased effectiveness of NPs. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that BAR-modified NPs deliver a higher local dose of peptide and may represent a more effective therapeutic approach to limit P. gingivalis colonization of the oral cavity compared to treatment with formulations of free peptide.
