- FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an in-vitro diagnostic method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- a sample derived from the oral cavity of a subject is brought into contact with an electrode, and electrochemical measurement is performed in the presence of a glycogenic amino acid and an electron mediator under an anaerobic environment (step S11).
- the specimen is not particularly limited as long as it is derived from the oral cavity of the subject, but preferably contains saliva, plaque, blood, pus, mixtures thereof, and the like. Especially, when the specimen contains saliva, it is more non-invasive and easier to collect, which is preferable.
- the specimen may contain water, electrolytes, and the like as components other than those described above.
- the electrolyte is not particularly limited, but known electrolytes can be used. However, it is preferable that the electrolyte does not contain organic substances other than the saccharogenic amino acids described later.
- Electrochemical measurements are performed in the presence of glycogenic amino acids. Electrochemical measurement in the presence of a glycogenic amino acid typically includes a form in which the glycogenic amino acid is added to the sample. Examples of glycogenic amino acids include alanine, glycine, serine, threonine, cysteine, tryptophan, isoleucine, methionine, valine, aspartic acid, arginine, glutamic acid, histidine, proline, tyrosine, and phenylalanine, among others.
- At least one selected from the group consisting of arginine, histidine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid is preferable, and at least one selected from the group consisting of arginine and histidine from the viewpoint that the generated current (density) tends to be larger 1 type is more preferable.
- histidine Compared to aspartic acid and glutamic acid, histidine has higher water solubility and is preferable in that even when added to a specimen, it tends to be more uniform. If the water solubility is high, there is no need to add an acid or the like to the sample, which is preferable in that the background current in the measurement tends to be small. In addition, the present inventors have experimentally confirmed that when the glycogenic amino acid is histidine, the generated current derived from the Pg bacterium tends to increase (see Examples).
- acid e.g., hydrochloric acid
- the content of the glycogenic amino acid in the sample is not particularly limited, but is generally preferably 0.1 to 1000 mM.
- Electrochemical measurements are also performed in the presence of an electronic mediator. Periodontopathogenic bacteria generate electric current in an anaerobic environment, and some have the function of transferring the electric current to an extracellular electron acceptor (e.g., anode electrode), but electrochemical measurements are performed in the presence of an electron mediator. This is more preferable because electron transfer can be performed more smoothly. Electrochemical measurement in the presence of an electron mediator typically includes a form in which an electron mediator is added to a specimen, as in the case of the sugargenic amino acid described above.
- the electronic mediator that can be used is not particularly limited, and known electronic mediators can be used.
- the electron mediator is preferably water-soluble, and is selected from the group consisting of flavin mononucleotide, riboflavin, and 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (2-hydroxy-1,4-napthoquinone, HNQ). When at least one is included, a larger generated current (density) can be obtained.
- the glycogenic amino acid and the electron mediator may not be added to the specimen.
- the glycogenic amino acid may be immobilized on the electrode surface.
- a method of controlling the potential of the electrode and measuring the current as a function of time is preferable.
- Such methods include, for example, the amperometry method, the cyclic voltammetry method, the linear sweep voltammetry method, and the rectangular wave voltammetry method.

- Materials for the electrodes include, for example, ITO (indium tin oxide), noble metals (gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), ruthenium (Ru ), etc.), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti), nickel (Ni), and the like.
- Carbon materials such as carbon and graphite (graphene) may also be used.
- a boron-doped diamond electrode is also preferable in that it has a wide potential window.
- a general electrochemical measuring device can be used for the electrochemical measurement.
- a three-electrode electrochemical measurement device in which a working electrode, a counter electrode, and a reference electrode are housed in a cell can be used.
- the temperature at which the electrochemical measurement is performed is not particularly limited, it can be performed at the same temperature as the sampling site of the sample, or the temperature can be controlled. In that case, the temperature of the specimen is preferably 10 to 40°C.
- the measurement may be performed in a general anaerobic glove box (anaerobic chamber), preferably under anoxic conditions.
- the potential of the electrode (working electrode) exceeds 0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), and the potential window Control within a range less than the upper limit is preferred. Further, from the viewpoint of easily obtaining a larger generated current or easily generating a current in a shorter time, it is preferable to set the potential of the electrode to 0 to +0.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl).
- step S12 If current generation is detected by this electrochemical measurement (step S12: Yes), the presence of periodontopathogenic bacteria in the sample is suggested. In this case, information for determining that periodontal disease is progressing in the oral cavity of the subject is provided (step S13).
- step S12 if current generation is not detected by this electrochemical measurement (step S12: No), the diagnosis ends and no information is provided for determining that periodontal disease is progressing.
- the above information is based on the measurement results, and its form is not particularly limited, but it consists of the time from the start of electrochemical measurement to the detection of current generation, and the maximum current density of the generated current.
- Information containing at least one measurement result selected from the group (hereinafter also referred to as “specific information”) is more preferable because it is likely to be information that contributes to quantitative evaluation of the progress of periodontal disease.
- the above-mentioned specific information is a numerical value related to the content of periodontopathogenic bacteria in the specimen, and for example, by comparing it with the value of a healthy subject or comparing it with the past value of the same subject, The information is likely to be useful for judging the degree of periodontal disease occurring in the oral cavity of the subject and the chronological progression of the disease.
- Modification A modification of the in-vitro diagnostic method according to the above-described embodiment compares the obtained measurement result with a reference value when current generation is detected, and provides information including the comparison information as periodontal disease in the oral cavity of the subject. It is an in vitro diagnostic method that provides information for judging progress.
- Examples of the reference value in the extracorporeal diagnostic method include the result of measurement by the same method using a healthy subject's sample, the past test result of the same subject, and the like.
- the comparative information includes, for example, the difference between the specific information measured by the same method using a healthy subject's sample and the specific information of the sample.
- the time from the start of electrochemical measurement to the detection of current generation in the case of measuring by the same method using a healthy subject's specimen, and the same as above for the specimen obtained from the subject The difference from the time measured by the method of . If the time measured for the sample is earlier and the difference is larger, it can be used as information for determining that the sample contains more periodontopathogenic bacteria.

If the specimen is not liquid, it can be used after extraction and purification using water or the like.
- Figure 2 is a chronoamperogram showing the effect of histidine on the generated current.
- PG-w/Histidine means that the sample contains histidine which is a glycogenic amino acid
- PG-w/Glucose means that the sample does not contain histidine and contains glucose instead. This is the result.
- current production was detected immediately after adding the Pg bacterial solution.
- current generation was detected, but at a smaller magnitude and with a longer time to current generation.
- Fig. 3 is a chronoamperogram showing the effect of aspartic acid on the generated current.
- FIG. 4 is a chronoamperogram showing the effect of glutamic acid on the generated current. In both cases, current production was detected immediately after adding the Pg bacterial solution.
- Figure 5 shows the above results. From FIG. 5, it was found that in the sample containing aspartic acid, Pg-specific current production could be detected.
- FIG. 6 shows experimental results when using HNQ, FIG. 7 using FMN, and FIG. 8 using RF.
- FIGS. 6 to 8 when any of the electron mediators was used, a larger current was rapidly obtained after addition of the bacterial solution (compare with FIG. 2).
- HNQ when HNQ was used, a larger current was obtained than when FMN and RF were used, and this tendency was particularly noticeable at concentrations exceeding 10 ⁇ M.
- saliva can be used as a specimen, and information for determining the progression of periodontal disease can be obtained in a simple manner.

検体としては、イーストエクストラクトを除いたDM液体培地に、10mMのヒスチジン、又は、グルコースを添加したものに、更にPg菌液(OD600:0.1)を添加したものを用いた。測定は100%の窒素を充填したCOY嫌気チャンバー内で、クロノアンペロメトリー法により行った。
次に、ヒスチジンに代えて糖源性アミノ酸としてアスパラギン酸、及び、グルタミン酸を用いて試験を行った。なおアスパラギン酸とグルタミン酸は、いずれも水への溶解性が低いため、0.5MのHClに溶解させた。従ってDM液体培地のpHが~5.2となった。
(実験3:参考例)
Pg菌液(OD600:0.1)に代えて、Pg菌液(OD600:0.5)、Streptococcus mutans菌液(OD600:0.5)、及び、Capnocytophaga ochracea(OD600:0.5)を用いたことを除いては、実験1と同様にして、生成電流を調べた。
(実験4:実施例)
3電極電気化学セル(作用電極:ITO、対電極:白金、参照電極:Ag/AgCl)に代えて、96ウェルプレートの底面に3電極が印刷された電気化学測定プレートを用いて、電子メディエータによる電流生成への影響を調べた。
使用した電子メディエータは、HNQ、FMN、及び、RFで、それぞれ濃度を10μM、50μM、100μMとした。また、菌液としては、Pg菌液(OD600:0.5)を用い、それ以外の条件は実験1と同様にした。
なかでも、HNQを用いた場合、FMN、及び、RFを用いた場合よりもより大きな電流が得られ、特に、10μMを超える濃度ではその傾向が顕著であった。
