Abstract

Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum), a key pathogen implicated in periodontal disease, contributes to oral biofilm maturation and is linked to development of systemic diseases like colorectal cancer and liver cirrhosis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) treatment (ALA-PDT) selectively targets F. nucleatum by inducing porphyrin accumulation. The bactericidal effect of red light-based PDT on F. nucleatum has not been evaluated previously. This study investigates the effect of ALA-PDT using red light-emitting diode (LED) light on F. nucleatum subspecies and their porphyrin accumulation. F. nucleatum subspecies were cultured with varying concentrations of 5-ALA under anaerobic conditions. Porphyrin accumulation was measured via fluorescence spectroscopy, and colony-forming units were measured to determine bacterial viability post-treatment. Additionally, other subspecies responded well to 0.01% 5-ALA, and uroporphyrin I accumulation correlated with bacterial death, revealing optimal bactericidal conditions. These results suggest that optimizing light intensity and 5-ALA concentration can significantly enhance the therapeutic potential of ALA-PDT in oral healthcare.

优化基于红光的光动力疗法，对核分枝杆菌亚种产生有效杀菌作用

核团镰刀菌（F. nucleatum）是牙周病的主要病原体，它有助于口腔生物膜的成熟，并与结肠直肠癌和肝硬化等全身性疾病的发展有关。光动力疗法（PDT）结合 5-氨基乙酰丙酸（5-ALA）治疗（ALA-PDT）通过诱导卟啉积累，选择性地针对核酸酵母菌。基于红光的 PDT 对 F. nucleatum 的杀菌效果此前尚未进行过评估。本研究探讨了使用红色发光二极管（LED）光的 ALA-PDT 对 F. nucleatum 亚种及其卟啉积累的影响。在厌氧条件下，用不同浓度的 5-ALA 培养 F. nucleatum 亚种。通过荧光光谱测定卟啉的积累，并测定菌落形成单位，以确定处理后细菌的存活率。此外，其他亚种对 0.01% 5-ALA 反应良好，尿卟啉 I 的积累与细菌死亡相关，揭示了最佳杀菌条件。这些结果表明，优化光照强度和 5-ALA 浓度可显著提高 ALA-PDT 在口腔保健中的治疗潜力。
