Abstract

Background: Considering the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) in inactivating bacteria, this study reports that zinc hydroxide chloride nanosheets (ZHC-NSs) are useful for this purpose.

Materials & methods: The characterization of ZHC-NSs was performed using microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The irritation test, acute toxicity test, and genotoxicity test of ZHC-NSs were evaluated and their effects on human pulp fibroblast cells (HPFC) viability, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and antibacterial activity of ZHC-NSs (1-8 mg ml^-1) alone or in light conditions were investigated.

Results: The ZHC-NSs structure showed a crystalline form and their sheets' thickness had an average size of 129.6 ± 19.50 nm. ZHC-NSs did not severely damage internal organs and were not genotoxic. The cytotoxic effect of ZHC-NSs on HPFC was concentration-dependent so that ZHC-NSs at higher concentrations (4 and 8 mg ml^-1) killed half of the HPFC cells. When ZHC-NSs were used in combination with a 980 nm diode laser, namely ZHC-NS^©, ROS production increased and led to enhanced antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans in planktonic and biofilm form. A statistically significant difference was found between ZHC-NSs without laser irradiation and photoexcited ZHC-NSs.

Conclusion: ZHC-NSs^© with the potential ability to produce ROS could be effective in complementary treatment against S. mutans.

氢氧化锌纳米片抗变形链球菌的生物相容性和光失活评价。

背景：考虑到抗菌光动力疗法（PDT）灭活细菌的效果，本研究报道了氢氧化锌氯纳米片（ZHC-NSs）在这方面的作用。材料与方法：采用显微和光谱技术对ZHC-NSs进行表征。研究了ZHC-NSs （1 ~ 8 mg ml-1）对人牙髓成纤维细胞（HPFC）活力、细胞内活性氧（ROS）水平及在光照条件下的抗菌活性的影响。结果：ZHC-NSs结构呈结晶状，薄片厚度平均为129.6±19.50 nm。ZHC-NSs对内脏无严重损害，无遗传毒性。ZHC-NSs对HPFC的细胞毒作用呈浓度依赖性，高浓度（4和8 mg ml-1）的ZHC-NSs杀死了一半的HPFC细胞。当ZHC-NS与980 nm二极管激光器（即ZHC-NS©）联合使用时，ROS的产生增加，导致对浮游和生物膜形式的变形链球菌的抗菌活性增强。未经激光照射的ZHC-NSs与光激发的ZHC-NSs相比，差异有统计学意义。结论：ZHC-NSs©具有潜在的ROS生成能力，可有效补充治疗变形链球菌。
