项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this project is to determine if Parotid Secretory Protein (PSP; SPLUNC2) is a dual function host-defense protein in the oral cavity. PSP is expressed in salivary glands, oral epithelial cells and saliva but its function is unknown. Expression of PSP is up-regulated by bacteria and TNF and an in silico structural analysis of PSP revealed that it may be similar to bactericidal/permeability increasing protein (BPI) and LPS-binding protein (LBP). Guided by the location of active domains in these two proteins, several PSP peptides were designed and found to exhibit both antibacterial and anti-endotoxin activities in vitro and in vivo. Based on these initial results with PSP peptides and additional preliminary data for intact PSP it is hypothesized that the dual- function antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities detected for PSP peptides are reflected in the biological activity of the intact PSP protein. Two specific aims will test the proposed functions of PSP. Aim 1 will characterize the antibacterial activity of PSP. PSP peptides and recombinant PSP will be used in biochemical, cell biological and in vivo experiments to determine if PSP exhibits bacteriostatic or bactericidal activity, bacterial agglutination, and inhibition of biofilm formation. Aim 2 will characterize the anti- inflammatory activity of PSP. PSP peptides and recombinant PSP will be used in biochemical, cell biological and in vivo experiments to determine if PSP binds LPS, blocks the action of LPS in vitro and protects mice in an LPS-induced sepsis model. If confirmed, the proposed functions of PSP will expand the group of antimicrobial host- defense proteins that are expressed in the oral cavity and participate in the defense of the oral mucosa. Thus, the research proposed here will lay the foundation for future translational research aimed at novel clinical approaches to combat infection and control inflammation. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of this proposal is to identify the biological functions of the salivary protein Parotid Secretory Protein (PSP). Preliminary data suggest that PSP plays a role in host-defense against oral and airway bacteria. Peptides based on the PSP sequence may have clinical utility as antibacterial or anti-inflammatory components.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的长期目标是确定腮腺分泌蛋白（PSP; SPLUNC2）是否是口腔中的双功能宿主防御蛋白。 PSP在唾液腺，口腔上皮细胞和唾液中表达，但其功能尚不清楚。 PSP的表达被细菌和TNF上调，并且在PSP的硅结构分析中表明，它可能类似于增加蛋白（BPI）（BPI）和LPS结合蛋白（LBP）的杀菌/渗透性。在这两种蛋白质中活性域的位置的指导下，设计并发现几种PSP肽在体外和体内都表现出抗菌和抗细胞毒素活性。基于这些初始结果，PSP肽和完整PSP的其他初步数据，假设在完整的PSP蛋白的生物学活性中反映了检测到PSP肽的双功能抗菌和抗炎活性。两个具体的目标将测试PSP的拟议功能。 AIM 1将表征PSP的抗菌活性。 PSP肽和重组PSP将用于生化，细胞生物学和体内实验，以确定PSP是否表现出抑菌或杀菌活性，细菌凝集和抑制生物膜形成。 AIM 2将表征PSP的抗炎活性。 PSP肽和重组PSP将用于生化，细胞生物学和体内实验中，以确定PSP是否结合LPS，阻止LPS在体外的作用，并保护LPS诱导的败血症模型中的小鼠。如果得到确认，PSP的拟议功能将扩大在口腔中表达并参与口服粘膜的抗菌宿主防御蛋白的组。因此，这里提出的研究将为未来的转化研究奠定基础，旨在抗击感染和控制炎症的新型临床方法。公共卫生相关性：该提案的目的是确定唾液蛋白腮腺分泌蛋白（PSP）的生物学功能。初步数据表明，PSP在针对口腔和气道细菌的宿主防御中起作用。基于PSP序列的肽可能具有临床实用性为抗菌或抗炎成分。
