Avaliação dos efeitos imunomoduladores de estatinas e glicocorticoides na terapêutica da colite experimental / Evaluation of the immune modulatory effects of statins and glucocorticoids in experimental colitisPaulo José Basso 20 August 2015 (has links)
A Doença de Crohn (CD) e a Colite Ulcerativa (UC) são as principais enfermidades componentes das Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais (DII). Embora existam vários medicamentos atualmente empregados para atenuar a inflamação descontrolada no intestino, tratar as complicações ou prolongar os períodos de remissão clínica, não há, ainda, uma terapia que seja totalmente efetiva para estas doenças. Os glicocorticoides (GCs), anti-inflamatórios comumente usados nas DII, possuem eficácia limitada e mais da metade dos pacientes se tornam refratários ou dependentes da medicação. Por outro lado, as estatinas são conhecidas por possuírem propriedades pleiotrópicas e seu uso concomitante com os GCs tem gerado boas perspectivas em várias doenças autoimunes e inflamatórias, inclusive nas DII. Apesar de já existirem indicativos de melhora de pacientes com DII pela utilização combinada destas drogas, ainda há escassez de dados que mostrem as alterações causadas no sistema imunológico. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos imunomoduladores do uso concomitante de GCs e estatinas na colite experimental induzida por dextran sulfato de sódio (DSS) em camundongos C57BL/6. Os resultados mostraram que o uso contínuo de GCs (dexametasona - DX), associados ou não a estatinas (atorvastatina - ATO), não alterou o curso da doença e antecipou a morte dos camundongos, enquanto que o oposto foi observado com o uso isolado de ATO. Tratamentos em curto prazo (3 doses) contendo ATO (isolada ou associada à DX) causaram melhora clínica e histológica dos animais doentes, diminuíram o número de leucócitos circulantes (principalmente monócitos) e de células mononucleares na lâmina própria (LP), a frequência de células CD11b+ na LP, a frequência de células dendríticas (DCs) CD11b+CD11c+ e CD11b-CD11c+ no baço e a frequência de células CD4+ produtoras de IFN- nos linfonodos mesentéricos (LNM). Entretanto, ambos os esquemas terapêuticos aumentaram a frequência de linfócitos T CD8+ no baço e LNM. Ainda, as terapias inibiram a proliferação de esplenócitos tratados in vitro, diminuíram a síntese de IL-6 e, quando em baixas concentrações, aumentaram a produção de IL-10. Diferencialmente, o tratamento combinado pareceu exercer os efeitos acima descritos de modo mais pronunciado do que o uso isolado de estatina. Adicionalmente, diminuiu os níveis de expressão de RNAm das citocinas IL-1, IL-17 e IFN- no local da inflamação, reduziu o número de linfócitos circulantes, de leucócitos no baço e LNM e de linfócitos T CD4+ nos LNM, além de ter aumentado a frequência de DCs CD11b-CD11c+ na LP e a concentração de Fas-L no intestino grosso. Considerando o uso em curto prazo com ATO isolada, foi observado aumento da frequência de DCs CD11b-CD11c+ nos LNM e de células Natural killer (NK) no baço dos camundongos doentes e diminuição dos níveis de expressão de RNAm de PPAR- no intestino grosso. O uso isolado de DX em curto prazo melhorou os aspectos histológicos, diminuiu o número de macrófagos e os níveis de IFN- no cólon, diminuiu o número de leucócitos circulantes (principalmente linfócitos), aumentou a frequência de células CD11b+ no baço e a síntese de IL-10 por esplenócitos ex vivo. Apesar da frequência de células T reguladoras (Treg) e da susceptibilidade dos esplenócitos à sinais reguladores não terem sido modificados após os diferentes tratamentos, nossos resultados sugerem que as estatinas usadas isoladamente preservaram a resposta inflamatória do organismo de modo eficiente e controlado, enquanto que o uso associado das drogas causou a imunossupressão dos animais doentes, contribuindo para as complicações clínicas decorrentes da colite experimental induzida por DSS. / Crohn\'s disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC) are the main conditions that comprise the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). The conventional drug therapies for IBD aim to attenuate the uncontrolled inflammation in the intestinal mucosa, to treat the complications and to extend clinical remission. However, all available drugs have unpredictable or limited effects. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are commonly anti-inflammatory drugs, which are associated to refractoriness and/or dependence in over half of IBD patients. On the other hand, statins have pleiotropic properties and the concomitant use with GCs has shown good prospects in several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including IBD. Despite the putative clinical improvement after combined use of GCs and statins in IBD, there is a lack of data indicating their additive effects on the immune system. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the immune modulatory effects of the concomitant use of statins and GCs in experimental colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). The results showed that long-term use of GCs (dexamethasone - DX), alone or associated to statins (atorvastatin - ATO), did not improve the clinical signs and increased the death rates of C57BL/6 mice exposed to DSS, while the opposite was observed after treatment with statins alone. Short-term use of ATO (3 doses), alone or associated to DX, improved the clinical signs and histological parameters in DSS-exposed mice, decreased the number of white blood cells (mainly monocytes), the number of mononuclear cells in the lamina propria (LP), the frequency of CD11b+ cells in the LP, the frequency of CD11b+CD11c+ and CD11b-CD11c+ dendritic cells (DCs) in the spleen and the frequency of IFN--producing CD4+ T cells in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN). However, ATO alone or associated to DX lead to increased CD8+ T lymphocytes in the spleen and MLN. Moreover, both therapies containing ATO inhibited the proliferation of in vitro-treated splenocytes, besides decreasing IL-6 and increasing IL-10 synthesis. Differentially, the association of drugs led to a more pronounced effects over the changes mentioned above than the single use of statin and additionally decreased IL-1, IL-17 and IFN- mRNA expression levels at the intestinal tissue, the number of circulating lymphocytes, the number of leukocytes in spleen and MLN and the frequency of CD4+ T lymphocytes in the MLN. In addition, statins and GCs increased the frequency of CD11b-CD11c+ DCs in LP and the Fas-L concentrations in the large intestine. Considering the short-term use of ATO there was increased frequency of CD11b-CD11c+ DCs in MLN, increased frequency of natural killer (NK) cells in the spleen and decreased mRNA expression of PPAR- in the large intestine. The short-term use of DX improved the histology parameters, decreased the number of macrophages and IFN- levels in the colon, reduced the number of circulating leukocytes (mainly lymphocytes), and increased the frequency of CD11b+ cells in spleen and IL-10 synthesis by ex vivo splenocytes. Finally, since both regulatory T cells (Treg) frequency and the splenocytes susceptibility to regulatory signals have not been modified after the different treatments, our findings suggest that single use of statins preserved an efficient and controlled inflammatory response, while the combined use of GCs and statins led to immunosuppression, which probably contributed to long-term clinical complications of DSS-induced colitis.

EN förändrad KROPP, ETT förändrat LIV : Patienters upplevelser av att leva med stomiArmini, Antonia, Camilla, Söderlind January 2017 (has links)
Background: When patients suffer from sicknesses such as rectal cancer, Chrons disease and ulcerative colitis, then ostomies can be a course of treatment. Earlier research show that nurses lack knowledge to be able to care for patients with ostomies while expected to have an important role in the patients’ well-being. Problem: Lack of knowledge from the general nurse about ostomy care impacts patients since their lives are affected by living with a stoma. Aim: To describe patient´s experiences of living with a stoma. Method: A literature review based on ten qualitative scientific articles with descriptive synthesis. Results: Experiences shown in the results were divided into three themes: “Emotionell influence”, “Changes in everyday life” and “Acceptance of living with a stoma”. Out of these themes came six subthemes: “To feel worry”, “To feel frustration”, “To feel shame”, “To live with a changed body”, “To be limited physically in one´s life”, “To lose control”. Conclusion: Life with a stoma brings daily changes and influences the patients emotional state in relation to their body and their new situation. These experiences can in their turn evolve and patients can come to accept the stoma over time. Patients experiences a lack of information concerning ostomy care and support in living with a stoma. The results show that patients due to their ostomy experience suffering related to illness, to care, and to life.

The role of innate lymphoid cells in intestinal inflammationSchaupp, Anna-Lena January 2016 (has links)
A breakdown of intestinal homeostasis due to dysregulated immune responses against intestinal bacteria underlies the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in genetically susceptible individuals. Amongst mucosal immune cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous group of cells whose functions in pathogenic inflammatory processes in the intestine are beginning to emerge from experimental murine models. However, less is known about the role of ILCs in chronic intestinal inflammation in humans. In this thesis, human ILCs were examined in the context of IBD and potential mechanisms by which these cells may contribute to IBD pathogenesis were investigated. We identified phenotypically and functionally distinct ILC1, ILC2 and ILC3 populations in the human intestinal lamina propria and peripheral blood and found that ILCs enriched for expression of IL-17A and IFNγ accumulated in the inflamed intestine, potentially through increased in situ proliferation and chemokine-mediated recruitment from blood. Based on their in situ localization, we investigated potential functional interactions between ILCs and CD4+ T cells and found that a proportion of human ILCs in peripheral blood and the intestinal lamina propria expressed HLA-DR and co-stimulatory molecules. ILCs were capable of taking up and processing protein antigen at levels equivalent to B cells, but in contrast to monocytes, antigen-pulsed ILCs failed to activate antigen-specific memory CD4+ T cells in vitro. Reciprocal activation between ILCs and monocytes enhanced the antigen-presenting potential and bactericidal capacity of myeloid cells and induced upregulation of co-stimulatory ligand expression by ILCs. This innate activation loop resulted in an augmentation of CD4+ T cell activation. These findings extend our knowledge of the complex interactions between human ILCs and other key immune cell populations, and suggest mechanisms by which rare ILCs may contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD by augmenting myeloid cell and CD4+ T cell responses.

Microbiota-Host Symbiosis In First-Onset Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel DiseaseMottawea, Walid Abd El-Fattah El-Sayed January 2015 (has links)
In recent years, the association between inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and gut microbiota has been extensively studied in adults using post-treatment cohorts of patients. However, microbial composition and functional interplay between host genetics and microorganisms in newly diagnosed early IBD onset remain poorly defined. Using colonoscopic mucosal washes to collect mucosal-luminal microbiota from different intestinal locations, we studied the gut microbiome in a large number of children with either Crohn’s disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). Although no significant difference in the diversity was evident between the gut microbiota of IBD-affected and control children, the microbiome of IBD subjects is characterized by an increased abundance of potent hydrogen sulfide (H2S) producers and decreased abundance of beneficial butyrate producers. Microbiota and proteomic profiling revealed that the abundance of Atopobium parvulum, a potent H2S producer, was associated with increased CD severity and a concurrent reduction in the expression of the host H2S detoxification pathway. Gnotobiotic and conventionalized colitis-susceptible interleukin-10-deficient (Il-10-/-) mice showed that A. parvulum induces severe colitis, a phenotype requiring the presence of the gut microbiota. In addition, administration of bismuth, an H2S scavenger, prevented A. parvulum-induced colitis in Il-10-/- mice. Our findings have identified A. parvulum as a major mediator of inflammation severity. We also reveal an imbalance between the H2S production and detoxification in the gastrointestinal tract of pediatric IBD patients. Altogether, our findings provide new avenues for diagnostics as well as therapies to treat IBD.

Oxidation status as a predictor of disease activity and response to therapy in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel diseaseAjithkumar, Aravindh K. 09 June 2020 (has links)
INTRODUCTION: Reactive oxygen species are responsible for the mediation of physiologic and pathologic cellular responses. The tissue damage occurring in all inflammatory disorders, including that observed in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated and released by activated immunocompetent cells. When present in sufficient concentration, these oxidative ROS are toxic to both real or perceived infectious or allergic threats, as well as native tissues in the context of autoimmune disease. The diagnosis and interval assessment of patients with IBD currently rely on expensive and invasive procedures that create cost and logistic drawbacks for both patients and the larger health care system. Thus, there is a pressing need for the development of reliable, cost-effective, and noninvasive methods to better diagnose and manage patients with IBD.
OBJECTIVES: The goal of this present study was to assess the relationship between disease activity and ambient oxidative state in the stool of patients with and without IBD.
METHODS: Patients admitted to Boston Children’s Hospital (Boston, MA) were recruited and consented for participation in the study. Stool samples were collected, and the redox potential (mV) was assessed using three different redox status measuring systems. The samples were collected between November 2018 and March 2020.
RESULTS: Data demonstrated that reliable measurements could be made of redox status in stool samples collected from patients with and without IBD. Data collected from patients with IBD displayed an inverse correlation between relative redox status and disease activity.
CONCLUSION: The measurement of relative redox status in the stool of patients with and without IBD is a reliable tool for indicating clinical disease status. Furthermore, the initiation of an improved method for the collection and processing of stool samples from consented patients appears to increase study accrual and data collection. Data from this study can be used as the basis for future studies that assess the clinical impact of pharmacologic, lifestyle, and dietary approaches to managing fecal redox in patients with IBD.
