RESUMO

Pancreatic islets are crucial in diabetes research. Consequently, this protocol aims at optimizing both the protein-extraction process and the proteomic analysis via shotgun methods for pancreatic islets. Six protocols were tested, combining three types of chemical extraction with two mechanical extraction methods. Furthermore, two protocols incorporated a surfactant to enhance enzymatic cleavage. The steps involved extraction and concentration of protein, protein quantification, reduction, alkylation, digestion, purification and desalination, sample concentration to ∼1 µl, and proteomic analysis using the mass spectrometer. The most effective protocol involves either a milder chemical extraction paired with a more intensive mechanical process, or a more robust chemical extraction paired with a gentle mechanical process, tailored to the sample's characteristics. Additionally, it was observed that the use of a surfactant proved ineffective for these types of samples. Protocol 5 was recently used with success to examine metabolic changes in pancreatic islets of non-obese diabetic mice exposed to low doses of fluoride ions (F-) and the primary pathways altered by the treatment.

RESUMO

This study evaluated the antimicrobial and anticaries effects of toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nanoHAP - 5 or 10%), xylitol (2 or 3%) and propolis (1 or 2%), associated or not with 1500 ppm fluoride (F). An in vitro model was used with microcosm biofilm produced from a pool of human saliva and McBain saliva (1:50) in the first 8 h of culture on 162 bovine enamel specimens. At the end of the experimental period, analyses of metabolic activity, colony forming units (CFU) and transverse microradiography (TMR) were performed. This study showed a possible decrease in demineralization and increase in remineralization by the commercial toothpaste (1500 ppm F) and for the experimental toothpaste containing the highest concentration of all agents, combined with F. In addition, a reduction in antimicrobial activity possibly caused by propolis and xylitol, mainly in relation to cariogenic bacteria, was observed.
