Embodiment 1

[0073] Example 1: Binding of DSS peptide to calcium hydroxyapatite:

[0074] Production of Asp- Ser-Ser (DSS) repeats of four DSS peptides. Labeled with fluorescein, various concentrations of labeled peptides (0-100 μM) were quantified (0.3 mg) with a specific surface area of ​​100 m 2 / g Hydroxyapatite nanocrystals (Berkeley Advanced Biomaterials, Inc.) were mixed. Samples were incubated for 10 minutes, followed by centrifugation to remove hydroxyapatite. The amount of peptide in the mixture before and after removal of hydroxyapatite was determined based on the spectral absorbance at 480 nm (absorption peak of the fluorescein label). By combining the final absorption (A f ) and early (A i ) absorption and initial concentration (P 0 ) ratio for comparison [P 结合 =(A f / A j ) P 0 ] to calculate the amount of peptide binding. Generate a graph illustrating equilibrium, per m 2 The amount of peptide bound and the concentration of unbound peptide on the surface area of...

Embodiment 2

[0077] Example 2: Binding of DSS Peptides to Teeth:

[0078] To demonstrate the ability of DSS peptides to bind to biological tissue, sagittal sections of human teeth were incubated for 10 minutes in 12.5 μM 5(6) carboxyfluorescein-labeled 6DSS (SEQ ID NO: 14) peptide solution containing 10 mM NaCl and 50 mM HEPES at pH 7.0. Control samples were prepared without peptide. Treated samples were washed and imaged using a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) with a blue laser (excitation wavelength (λ) = 488 nm) and a FITC emission filter. Strong fluorescent staining indicated that 6DSS (SEQ ID NO: 14) was bound to the tooth surface ( figure 1 D). Sham-treated control sections exhibited no fluorescence. Peptide binding is restricted to dentin ( figure 1 D, light color area on the left), no combination was seen in the enamel area ( figure 1 D, dark area on the right).

Embodiment 3

[0079] Example 3: Binding of DSS Peptides to Mineralized Mouse Bone Marrow Nodules:

[0080] Mouse bone marrow cultures were grown to confluence in DMEM+10% FBS, and then labeled with 2.5 μM 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (SEQ ID NO: 14 ) or 2.5 μM 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein-labeled peptide #3-1 (missense control peptide, SEQ ID NO: 24) in aMEM+10% FBS solution was continuously treated for 3 weeks. Cultures were imaged by fluorescence microscopy with FITC excitation / emission filter sets to obtain brightfield and fluorescence images. Intense staining was observed in DSS-treated samples, as figure 2 Indicated by light color in the central nodular block in B. No staining was observed in the control samples ( figure 2 C, 2D), showing that the 6DSS (SEQ ID NO: 14) peptide specifically binds mineralized nodules in mouse bone marrow cultures.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a class of compounds comprising peptides of the sequence (X-Y-Z) n , wherein X is an aminoacid selected from aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, alanine and glutamine, and Y and Z are amino acids selected from alanine, serine, threonine, phosphoserine, phosphothreonine, and their derivatives. These compounds have the property of binding tightly and specifically to calcified surfaces, making them useful for a variety of applications including remineralization of tooth and hone surfaces, diagnosis of hone and tooth defects, treatment of hone and tooth defects, and analysis of the presence and location of calcified deposits bothin vitro andin vivo andin industrial, synthetic, medical, dental, and research applications where identification, localization, or manipulation of calcification is desirable.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 60 / 722,071, filed September 28, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Compounds that specifically bind to calcified surfaces include small fluorescent molecules, such as tetracycline, calcein, and alizarin, and large calcium-binding proteins, such as dentin phosphoprotein (DPP, often referred to as phosphoprotein) and amelogenin. DPP is one of the major non-collagenous proteins found in the extracellular matrix of dentine and has long been thought to be involved in the nucleation of hydroxyapatite (HA) during dentine mineralization (Lee 1980; Lussi 1988; Veis 1998; Hao 2004 ). Human DPP is derived from the proteolytic cleavage of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP). Human DPP is a highly flexible (Cross 2005), hyperphosphorylated (Lee 1980) protein (Gu 2000) mainly composed of numerous Asp-Ser-Ser ...
