Abstract

Wet wipes are being increasingly used because of their convenience. Particularly, oral wet wipes are useful for regular cleaning of a baby's mouth after birth. Therefore, the consumption of oral wet wipes has increased over the past few years and a variety of products are commercially available. However, product information on safety is not sufficiently provided and still raises doubts regarding adverse effects. To confirm the safety of wet wipes as an oral hygiene item and provide information for their use, we investigated the cytotoxicity of oral wet wipes and verified the underlying mechanism. The anti-bacterial effect of oral wet wipes was analyzed using the disk diffusion method. The cytotoxic effects of oral wet wipes were observed based on morphological changes using microscopy and determined using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay in gingival epithelial cells and gingival fibroblasts. Evaluation of apoptosis by oral wet wipes was explored using propidium iodide flow cytometric analysis and a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Apoptosis-related molecules were also analyzed using western blotting. Five types of oral wet wipes were tested, and two products from Fisher-Price and Dr. Kennedy revealed strong cytotoxic effects on gingiva epithelial cells and gingiva fibroblasts, although they also showed intense anti-bacterial effects on oral bacteria. Cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and apoptosis were observed based on treatment of extracts from Fisher-Price and Dr. KENNEDY. Relatively high TUNEL levels, reduction of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 expression, and fragmentation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase were also elucidated. These results suggest that commercial oral wet wipes could exert cytotoxic influences on oral tissue, although there are anti-bacterial effects, and careful attention is required, especially for infants and toddlers.

구강위생을 위한 간편성과 편리성 때문에 영유아에서 건강취약자 및 일반인에 이르기까지 구강청결티슈 사용이 증가되고 있다. 또한 기본 성분인 정제수 외에도 구강위생에 도움이 될 목적으로 다양한 기능 성분이 첨가된 구강청결티슈들이 시판되고 있다. 하지만 함유 성분에 대한 제공정보가 부족하고 함유량 기준이 마련되지 못하고 있어 구강 환경이 예민한 영유아 등에게 적용하기 위해서는 이들 제품에 대한 연구자료가 필요할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 구매도가 높은 시판 구강청결티슈 5종에 대한 구강세포 안전성을 확인함으로써 제품사용 시 유의해야 할 정보를 제공하고자 하였다. 시험 결과 피셔프라이스와 닥터케네디 제품 성분은 구강미생물 S. mutans 및 A. actinomycetemcomitans에 대한 항균작용을 나타냈지만 구강상피세포 및 구강섬유세포에도 독성을 나타냈다. 항균작용이 제한적인 궁중비책, 마이비, 아이수 제품 성분은 구강상피세포 및 구강섬유세포에 대한 독성도 낮았다. 피셔프라이스와 닥터케네디 제품 성분에 의한 구강세포 독성은 G2/M phase에서 세포주기 진행 억제와 세포자멸 유도에 의한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 구강 환경이 예민한 영유아 등을 대상으로 한 반복적이고 빈번한 사용은 구강세포 독성의 가능성을 높일 수 있다.
