Abstract<br />
Purpose: The human teeth have been together with the saliva in the center of interest for many years, due to medical problems with them<br />
[1]. Only a minor part of the population (ca 10 % of people in the age at ca 30 years) is resistant to tooth caries. In saliva there were detected<br />
over 2000 proteins to these days, and important part of them are salivary defense proteins. Our study was aimed to proteomics of saliva and to<br />
find the differences in the abundances of the responsible proteins in these tissues between caries-resistant and caries-susceptible people..<br />
Experimental description: The human saliva samples from adult patients (aged 17-35) were collected and divided into two groups with<br />
respect to the number of dental caries (caries-susceptible vs. caries-resistant people). The proteins of oral fluids were separated by twodimensional<br />
electrophoresis or by difference gel electrophoresis and the resulting protein maps were quantitatively evaluated. Spots exhibiting<br />
statistically significant changes were excised, digested by trypsin, and analyzed by nano-liquid chromatography coupled to a MaXis Q-TOF<br />
mass spectrometer with high resolution.<br />
Results: We detected more than several hundreds of proteins in each kind of sample (pulp, dentin, saliva) [2]. Then we compared the<br />
individual proteome maps of saliva samples by 2-DE and DIGE and indentified the changes in the protein abundances among the individuals.<br />
The observed significant differences between caries-resistant and caries-susceptible groups. Special emphasis was put on looking for the<br />
abundance changes of proteins that may be involved in formation of dental caries due to their biological functions.<br />
Conclusion: This study comaring proteomes of whole saliva from carious-resistant and carious-susceptible people brings new findings to<br />
the saliva protection against tooth caries.<br />
Keywords: human saliva, proteome, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, DIGE.<br />
