Materials and methods: In five crossover phases, after prophylaxis, 10 volunteers in 5 consecutive days, rinsed (10 mL, 1 min) with the following solutions: deionized water (H2O- negative control- 1), 0.1 mg/mL CaneCPI-5 (2), 1.88×10−5 M StN15 (3), 1.0 mg/mL Hb (4) or their combination (5). The AEP formed after 3 min was collected with electrode filter papers soaked in 3% citric acid. After protein extraction, samples were analyzed by quantitative shotgun label-free proteomics. Results: Rinsing with the proteins/peptide increased the amounts of proteins in the AEP. The total numbers of proteins identified after rinsing with CaneCPI-5, StN15, Hb or their combination versus water, were 131, 167, 148 and 142, respectively. The treatment with the proteins/peptide or their combination increased proteins that bind calcium, phosphate and interact with distinct proteins, as well as proteins with antimicrobial and acid-resistant properties, such as, Cornifin-B (7.7, 12.6, and 4.3-fold for CaneCPI-5, StN15 and Hb, respectively), isoforms of Cystatin (2.2–2.4-fold for CaneCPI-5 and StN15), Proline-rich-protein 4 (4.3-fold; StN15), Histatin-1 (2.8-fold; StN15) and Hemoglobin (7.7–25-fold for Hb and Combination). Immunoglobulin, Keratin and Histone were exclusively identified upon treatment with the proteins/peptide, alone or combined. Conclusion: Rinsing with proteins/peptide, alone or combined, increased protective proteins in the initial AEP. Clinical Relevance: Our results suggest that rinsing with the proteins/peptide or their combination increases the proteins capable of enhancing the protective function of the basal layer of AEP.engAcquired enamel pellicleCaneCPI-5HemoglobinProteomicsStatherinArtigo10.1016/j.jdent.2021.1038742-s2.0-85119117048
