Defensin-1, an antimicrobial peptide present in the saliva of patients with oral diseases.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN:A preceding paper has noted a detection of defensin-1 (HNP-1), a peptide with antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties, in the saliva of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. The present study deals with the presence of HNP-1 in the saliva of patients with various oral diseases. METHODS:Whole saliva samples were obtained from the patients. HNP-1 in the saliva was isolated and purified by HPLC and the amino acid sequence of the peptide was determined. The molecular weight of HNP-1 was measured by mass spectrometry. The concentration of HNP-1 in saliva was determined by comparing the height of eluted HNP-1 with that of a synthetic HNP-1 standard. RESULTS:The concentrations of HNP-1 in the saliva of patients with oral lichen planus (n = 5), leukoplakia (n = 4), and glossitis associated with iron deficiency (n = 4) were 8.3 +/- 4.3 micrograms ml-1, 13.2 +/- 7.9 micrograms ml-1, and 11.4 +/- 4.9 micrograms ml-1, (mean +/- s.d.), respectively. These concentrations were significantly higher than those in healthy subjects (0.8 microgram ml-1) (P < 0.01). In contrast, salivary HNP-1 concentrations in patients with glossodynia (n = 4) and oral discomfort (n = 4) were similar to those in healthy subjects. CONCLUSIONS:Since HNP-1 is a non-specific defensive peptide present in neutrophils, it may play an important role in the protection against diseases such as oral lichen planus, leukoplakia, and glossitis associated with iron deficiency.
