Abstract
Objective

Food-derived peptides have been reported to exhibit antibacterial activity against periodontal pathogenic bacteria. However, no effect has been shown on inflammation and bone resorption in periodontal pathology. The overall objective of the current study was to investigate how rice peptides influence biological defense mechanisms against periodontitis-induced inflammatory bone loss, and identify their novel functions as a potential anti-inflammatory drug.

Design

The expression of inflammatory and osteoclast-related molecules was examined in mouse macrophage-derived RAW 264.7 cell cultures using qPCR. Subsequently, the effect of these peptides on inflammatory bone loss in mouse periodontitis was examined using a mouse model of tooth ligation. Briefly, periodontal bone loss was induced for 7 days in mice by ligating the maxillary second molar and leaving the contralateral tooth un-ligated (baseline control). The mice were microinjected daily with the peptide in the gingiva until the day before euthanization. One week after the ligation, TRAP-positive multinucleated cells (MNCs) were enumerated from five random coronal sections of the ligated sites in each mouse.

Results

Rice peptides REP9 and REP11 significantly inhibited transcription activity of inflammatory and osteoclast-related molecules. Local treatment with the rice peptides, in mice subjected to ligature-induced periodontitis, inhibited inflammatory bone loss, explaining the decreased numbers of osteoclasts in bone tissue sections.

Conclusion

Therefore, these data suggested that the rice peptides possess a protective effect against periodontitis.
