Estudo in vitro dos efeitos do laser de baixa potência nas células osteoblásticas derivadas da sutura palatina de ratos após expansão rápida da maxila. / In vitro study of the effects of low-level laser therapy on maxilar derived osteoblast cells rats palate suture after rapid maxillary expansion.Silva, Ana Paula Ramos Bernardes da 17 September 2009 (has links)
O laser de baixa potência é utilizado no tratamento odontológico visando diminuir o tempo do reparo ósseo. O osteoblasto quando diferenciado pouco prolifera, são as células precursoras que o fazem. Células precursoras de osteoblastos exercem um papel essencial nesse processo e o sucesso da formação óssea depende da sua adesão, proliferação celular e diferenciação osteoblástica. Os objetivos do presente trabalho foram avaliar a capacidade de adesão, proliferação e síntese de proteínas (proteína total e fosfatase alcalina), expressão do fenótipo osteoblástico (BSP, COL, OC e RUNX2) e formação de matriz mineralizada em células osteoblásticas derivadas da sutura palatina mediana de ratos e submetidos à disjunção ortopédica maxilar e aplicação de laser de baixa intensidade As-Ga-Al (DMC®-Laser de aplicação pontual, com λ = 830 ηm, 56 J/cm2). Após 24 horas, 48 horas e 7 dias da disjunção palatina e aplicação do laser de baixa potência, fragmentos ósseos da sutura palatina mediana foram submetidos à digestão enzimática para extração das células. As células foram cultivadas em garrafas T75 na presença de meio essencial mínimo suplementado com soro fetal bovino e substâncias que favorecem a diferenciação em osteoblastos: dexametasona, ácido ascórbico e β-glicerol fosfato (MTS 10%). Após confluência na superfície da garrafa, um número estimado de células (2 x 104/poço) foi transportado para as placas de cultura, com 24 poços. Os grupos não irradiados serviram como controles. A avaliação da proliferação celular dos animais sacrificados após expansão rápida da maxila e aplicação do laser de baixa potência indicou que o grupo tratado com laser teve um aumento no número de células assim como na atividade de fosfatase alcalina, na expressão gênica e na mineralização em todos os períodos estudados. Portanto os resultados obtidos indicam que o laser de diodo As-Ga-Al estimulou a formação de células osteoblásticas. Podemos concluir com esses resultados que a radiação do laser diodo de As-Ga-Al estimula a expressão do fenótipo osteoblástico em células derivadas do osso alveolar de ratos após expansão rápida da maxila. / The low-power laser is used in dental treatment to reduce the time of bone healing. Differentiated osteoblasts have poor proliferation. It is rather done by osteoblast cell precursors. Precursor cells of osteoblasts exert a key role in the process of bone formation and its success depends on its adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the ability of adhesion, proliferation and synthesis of proteins (total protein and alkaline phosphatase) of osteoblastic cells derived from palatine suture median of rats that underwent orthopedic maxillary disjunction and application of low-intensity laser As- Ga-Al (DMC® Laser-off of application, with λ = 830 ηm, 56 J/cm2), as well as the expression of the osteoblast phenotype (BSP, COL, OC and RUNX2) and the formation of mineralized matrix..After 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days of the palate disjunction and application of the low-energy laser, bone fragments of the median palatine suture were submitted to enzyme digestion in order to extract the cells. The cells were grown in T75 bottles in the presence of minimum essential medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum and substances which favour the differentiation into osteoblasts: dexamethasone, ascorbic acid and β-glycerol phosphate (10% MTS). After confluence on the surface of the cylinder, an estimated number of cells (2 x 104/poço) were transported to the culture plates with 24 wells. The non-irradiated groups served as controls. The assessment of cell proliferation in animals sacrificed after the rapid expansion of maxilla application of low-energy laser indicated that the group treated with laser had an increase in the number of cells as well as of the activity of alkaline phosphatase, gene expression and mineralization in all periods studied. Therefore, the results indicate that the laser diode of the As-Ga-Al stimulated formation of osteoblastic cells. We conclude that the radiation of the laser diode As-Ga-Al stimulates expression of osteoblast phenotype in cells derived from alveolar bone of rats after rapid expansion of the maxilla.

Derme reconstituída (equivalente) in vitro / Reconstituted dermis (equivalent) in vitroOliveira, Anna Cecília Bezerra de 26 August 2015 (has links)
Um dos desafios atuais da engenharia de tecidos é o desenvolvimento de biomateriais substitutos e/ou equivalentes que mimetizem o tecido normal. Os estudos empregando cultura celular em monocamada encontram limitações no que concerne às interações bidimensionais entre as células e experimentos utilizando animais, devido à elevada variabilidade, não conseguem predizer os resultados em humanos, comprometendo a sua relevância clínica. À vista disso, a cultura tridimensional de células (3D) utilizando um biomaterial fabricado para promover a proliferação e diferenciação celular tem sido utilizada para recriar a complexidade de um tecido normal, permitindo uma maior e complexa interação celular. Visando mimetizar o ambiente encontrado in vivo, este trabalho investiu no desenvolvimento de uma derme reconstituída (equivalente dérmico) in vitro utilizando como matriz biológica o colágeno, componente mais abundante da derme como suporte para os fibroblastos humanos, assim como na avaliação da fotobiomodulação com luz em 630 nm. Foi preparada uma esponja a partir do colágeno de serosa porcina 1,1% hidrolisado por 96 h. A caracterização do biomaterial foi realizada pela determinação da porosidade, do diâmetro dos poros, da absorção de fluidos e por ensaios de biocompatibilidade, uma vez que estes parâmetros são importantes para a proliferação e diferenciação celular na consequente formação do tecido in vitro. O biomaterial exibiu porosidade de 95,2%, com poros medianos de 44 μm estimados por porosimetria de injeção de mercúrio, além de canais com distância média entre as paredes de 78+/-14 μm estimado por MEV. Esses valores são considerados como ideais para um biosuporte de crescimento de fibroblastos. A absorção de água e meio de cultura foi de 95% e a esponja não apresentou citotoxicidade para a linhagem celular Vero. Adicionalmente, foi investigado o efeito de irradiação na cultura 3D com luz vermelha (dose 30 J/cm2), que mostrou fotobiomodulação na dose de 30 J/cm2 para cultura de células em monocamada e no início da fase de crescimento celular em cultura tridimensional. Por microscopia confocal, verificou-se que as células cultivadas na presença da esponja (cultura 3D), apresentaram diferenciação e secreção de matriz extracelular. Portanto, os resultados apresentados mostraram que a esponja de colágeno utilizada como biomaterial para suporte celular é eficiente para a produção de uma derme reconstituída (equivalente) in vitro e que a fotobiomodulação em 630 nm na dose de 30 J/cm2 de fato acelera o crescimento celular na matriz. / The development of biomaterials substitutes and/or equivalents to mimic normal tissue is a currently challenge in tissue engineering. Studies using cell monolayer culture presents limitations with respect to two-dimensional interactions between the cells, and experiments using animals cannot predict results in humans, due to the high viability, thus compromising their clinical relevance. In consequence, three-dimensional cell culture (3D) using a biomaterial designed to promote cell proliferation and differentiation has been used to recreate the complexity of a normal tissue, allowing a larger and complex cellular interaction. Aiming to mimic the in vivo environment, the present work refers to create a reconstituted dermis (dermal equivalent) in vitro using collagen, the most abundant component of the dermis, as biological matrix, as support for human fibroblasts, as well evaluate the photobiomodulation with light at 630 nm. First, a sponge was prepared from serous 1.1% porcine collagen hydrolyzed for 96 h. The biomaterial was characterized by determination of its porosity, pore diameter, the fluid absorption and the biocompatibility assays, since these parameters are important to the cell proliferation and differentiation resulting in the in vitro tissue formation. The biomaterial showed porosity of 95.2%, with a median pore of 44 μM estimated by mercury porosimetry injection, and channels with an average distance between the walls of 78+/-14 μM estimated by SEM. These values are considered as ideal for a biosupport fibroblast growth. The absorption of water and growth medium was 95%, and the sponge showed no cytotoxicity for the Vero cell line. Additionally, it was investigated the effect of irradiation in 3D culture with red light (dose 30 J/cm2), that showed photobiomodulation on the dose 30 J/cm2, for culturing cells in monolayer and in the early-stage of the cell growth in three-dimensional culture. By confocal microscopy, it was verified that the cells cultured in the presence of the sponge (3D culture), allows differentiation and extracellular matrix secretion. Therefore, the results showed that the collagen sponge used as a biomaterial for cell support and the photobiomodulation at 630 nm and dose of 30 J/cm2 are efficient for the production of a reconstructed dermis (equivalent) in vitro.

Effect of transforming growth factor-β on up/down regulation of integrin-β1 in primary chondrocyte cultureKhaghani, Seyed A., Sefat, Farshid, Youseffi, Mansour, Rehman, R., Soon, Chin Fhong, Akbarova, G. January 2016 (has links)
yes / Regeneration of a damaged or non-functioning tissue requires adhesion of cells to their extracellular matrix (ECM). Thus the investigation of the level of synthesised cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) in cell culture systems play major roles in cell and tissue engineering. Adhesion of chondrocyte to a collagen type-II rich matrix, is dependent on cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and integrins and cells adhere to ECM through integrins.

Desenvolvimento de modelo de cultura celular tridimensional (3D) e de plataforma microfluídica para avaliação da viabilidade celular após terapia fotodinâmica / Development of three-dimensional (3D) cell culture model and of microfluidic platform model for assessing cellular viability after photodynamic therapyMorais, Thayz Ferreira Lima 26 February 2018 (has links)
A Terapia Fotodinâmica (TFD) é uma modalidade de tratamento de câncer que consiste na interação de três componentes: fotossensibilizador (FS), luz para ativar o FS e o oxigênio presente nos tecidos. Os estudos da fototoxicidade e do potencial de agente terapêuticos utilizados no tratamento do câncer, dentre eles os FSs, são realizados utilizando culturas celulares bidimensionais (2D) ou modelos animais. No entanto, os modelos 2D apresentam limitações, como impossibilitar sinais tão importantes que ocorrem in vivo, dentre eles o contato célula-célula e célula-matriz. Além disso, busca-se reduzir cada vez mais o número de animais em pesquisas científicas. Diante dessas limitações, nos últimos 30 anos tem sido desenvolvidos métodos alternativos in vitro que possam mimetizar melhor as complexas estruturas e funcionalidade dos sistemas in vivo. O objetivo desse estudo foi desenvolver um modelo de cultura de células tridimensional (3D) e um modelo de plataforma de cultura microfluídica para avaliar a viabilidade de células de carcinoma humano (HEp-2) após aplicação da terapia fotodinâmica com hipericina. O modelo 3D foi produzido utilizando-se colágeno tipo I aniônico e a plataforma de cultura microfluídica foi produzida utilizando-se lâmina de plástico, que serviu como base para o adesivo biocompatível utilizado para delimitar o canal celular e o poliéster, servindo como uma espécie de tampa para os dois materiais. A caracterização do biomaterial utilizado no modelo 3D foi realizada pela determinação da porosidade e diâmetro dos poros por meio da Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV) e por ensaios de citotoxicidade pelo método de difusão em ágar e pelo método do MTT (ISO 10993-5). Os ensaios de citotoxicidade comprovaram que o biomaterial utilizado é biocompatível e não causa nenhuma citotoxicidade as células. A viabilidade celular da linhagem HEp-2 foi acompanhada no modelo 2D e 3D durante 168 h (sete dias) utilizando o método do MTT e na plataforma microfluídica por 24 h através de microscopia de fluorescência com perfusão contínua de meio de cultura. Em ambos os modelos as células apresentaram-se capazes de se manter aderidas e em multiplicação. Nos ensaios fototóxicos realizados no modelo 3D por meio do método do MTT, observou-se que a viabilidade celular diminui à medida que se aumenta a concentração da hipericina, mantendo-se a dose de luz e o tempo de incubação constantes, sugerindo que as células HEp-2 em cultura 2D apresentaramse mais sensíveis à TFD do que as células em cultura 3D. Os ensaios fototóxicos na plataforma microfluídica mostraram através da análise das imagens de microscopia de fluorescência que o tipo de morte celular preponderante foi a apoptose. Portanto, os resultados apresentados sugerem que é possível a realização de estudos de terapia fotodinâmica no modelo de cultura tridimensional bem como na plataforma microfluídica de cultura de células. / Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment modality consisting of the interaction of three components: photosensitizer (PS), light to activate the PS and oxygen present in the tissues. The studies about the toxicity and potential of therapeutic agents used for cancer treatment, among them the PS, are performed using 2D cell cultures or animal models. However, the 2D models have several limitations, such as making it impossible that important signals which occur in vivo, such as cell-cell and cell-matrix contact occur. In addition, it is importatnt to reduce the number of animals in scientific research. Due of the limitations of the twodimensional cell culture models and the need to reduce the use of animals in research, in the last 30 years alternative in vitro methods have been developed which t can better mimic the complex structures and functionality of in vivo systems. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) cell culture model and a microfluidic culture platform model to evaluate the viability of human carcinoma cells (HEp-2) after photodynamic therapy with hypericin. The 3D support was produced using type I collagen and the microfluidic culture platform was produced using a plastic blade which served as the basis for the surgical adhesive, used to delimit the cell canal and the polyester, serving as a sort of cap for both materials. The characterization of the biomaterial used in the 3D model was performed by determination of the porosity and pore diameter by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and by cytotoxic assays using the agar diffusion method and the MTT method (ISO 10993-5). It was observed that the biomaterial used in the 3D model is biocompatible and does not cause any cytotoxicity to the cells. The cell viability of the HEp-2 cells was monitored in the 2D and 3D models for 168 h (seven days) using the MTT method and in the microfluidic platform for 24 h by fluorescence microscopy with continuous perfusion of culture medium. In both models the cells are able to remain adherent and in multiplication. In the phototoxic assays performed on the microfluidic platform, the analysis of fluorescence microscopy images showed that the preponderant cell death type was apoptosis. Results suggest that is possible to perform photodynamic therapy studies in the three-dimensional culture model as well as in the microfluidic cell culture platform.

Caractérisation du transport moléculaire vésical : applications cliniques et pharmacologiques / Characterization of molecular transport through the bladder : clinical and pharmacological applicationsMoch, Céline 14 February 2014 (has links)
Les pathologies vésicales sont nombreuses et nécessitent la plupart du temps un traitement médicamenteux. Il peut alors être administré par voie intravésicale, augmentant son efficience et limitant les effets indésirables systémiques. Nous nous sommes intéressés à quatre thérapeutiques : l’alun de potassium, le chlorhydrate de lidocaïne, l’hemisuccinate de méthylprednisolone, la mitomycine C et le bacille de Calmette et Guérin (BCG) en application locale directement dans la vessie. La perméabilité de l’aluminium à travers la vessie a été étudiée au travers d’un cas clinique et des expériences ex vivo ont été réalisées pour définir les paramètres de perméabilité et proposer un algorithme de prédiction de la quantité d’aluminium absorbée dans l’organisme après irrigation intravésicale à l’alun de potassium. Cet algorithme dépend du poids du patient, de la durée de l’irrigation et du volume de la solution utilisée en irrigation vésicale. Des études de perméation ont aussi été réalisées pour le chlorhydrate de lidocaïne, l’hemisuccinate de méthylprednisolone, la mitomycine C et le BCG afin de sécuriser l’emploi de ces thérapeutiques par voie intravésicale. Les études réalisées permettent de prédire, selon les caractères physico-chimiques des molécules, la pénétration dans la membrane vésicale. Une nouvelle formulation galénique réalisée à base d’un gel thermosensible a été étudiée pour optimiser les thérapeutiques intravésicales. Des études de perméation ont été faites avec la nouvelle formulation galénique. Pour finir, une culture de cellules cancéreuses urothéliales a été mise au point et un test de viabilité a été réalisé pour la mitomycine C et le BCG / Bladder diseases are numerous and mostly require medication. Drugs can be administered by intravesical route, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing systemic side effects. We are interested in four drugs: potassium alum, lidocaine hydrochloride, methylprednisolone hemisuccinate, mitomycin C and bacillus Calmette- Guérin (BCG). Mathematical modelling of drug transport through bladder wall is proposed considering scarce literature on this route of administration. The permeability of aluminum through bladder wall was studied through a clinical case and ex vivo experiments were performed to propose a simplified algorithm for the calculation of aluminium dose absorbed in patient with impaired renal function as function of volume of 1% alum solution in the bladder, duration of intravesical irrigation and patient body weight. Permeation studies were also conducted for lidocaine hydrochloride, methylprednisolone hemisuccinate, mitomycin C and BCG to secure intravesical administration of these drugs. Practical outcome of this study could drive compounding optimisation towards improvement of safety and efficacy in patient undergoing intravesical administration. A new pharmaceutical formulation including hrydrogel has been studied in an attempt to improve treatment administered by intravesical route. Permeation studies were made with the new formulation. Finally, an urothelial cancer cells culture has been developed and a viability test was performed with mitomycin C and BCG

Cell and tissue engineering of articular cartilage via regulation and alignment of primary chondrocyte using manipulated transforming growth factors and ECM proteins : effect of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β1, 2 and 3) on the biological regulation and wound repair of chondrocyte monolayers with and without presence of ECM proteinsKhaghani, Seyed Ali January 2010 (has links)
Articular cartilage is an avascular and flexible connective tissue found in joints. It produces a cushioning effect at the joints and provides low friction to protect the ends of the bones from wear and tear/damage. It has poor repair capacity and any injury can result pain and loss of mobility. One of the common forms of articular cartilage disease which has a huge impact on patient's life is arthritis. Research on cartilage cell/tissue engineering will help patients to improve their physical activity by replacing or treating the diseased/damaged cartilage tissue. Cartilage cell, called chondrocyte is embedded in the matrix (Lacunae) and has round shape in vivo. The in vitro monolayer culture of primary chondrocyte causes morphological change characterized as dedifferentiation. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), a cytokine superfamily, regulates cell function, including differentiation and proliferation. The effect of TGF-β1, 2, 3, and their manipulated forms in biological regulation of primary chondrocyte was investigated in this work. A novel method was developed to isolate and purify the primary chondrocytes from knee joint of neonate Sprague-Dawley rat, and the effect of some supplementations such as hyaluronic acid and antibiotics were also investigated to provide the most appropriate condition for in vitro culture of chondrocyte cells. Addition of 0.1mg/ml hyaluronic acid in chondrocyte culture media resulted an increase in primary chondrocyte proliferation and helped the cells to maintain chondrocytic morphology. TGF-β1, 2 and 3 caused chondrocytes to obtain fibroblastic phenotype, alongside an increase in apoptosis. The healing process of the wound closure assay of chondrocyte monolayers were slowed down by all three isoforms of TGF-β. All three types of TGF-β negatively affected the strength of chondrocyte adhesion. TGF-β1, 2 and 3 up regulated the expression of collagen type-II, but decreased synthesis of collagen type-I, Chondroitin sulfate glycoprotein, and laminin. They did not show any significant change in production of S-100 protein and fibronectin. TGF-β2, and 3 did not change expression of integrin-β1 (CD29), but TGF-β1 decreased the secretion of this adhesion protein. Manipulated TGF-β showed huge impact on formation of fibroblast like morphology of chondrocytes with chondrocytic phenotype. These isoforms also decreased the expression of laminin, chondroitin sulfate glycoprotein, and collagen type-I, but they increased production of collagen type-II and did not induce synthesis of fibronectin and S-100 protein. In addition, the strength of cell adhesion on solid surface was reduced by manipulated TGF-β. Only manipulated form of TGF-β1 and 2 could increase the proliferation rate. Manipulation of TGF-β did not up regulate the expression of integrin-β1 in planar culture system. The implications of this R&D work are that the manipulation of TGF-β by combination of TGF-β1, 2, and 3 can be utilized in production of superficial zone of cartilage and perichondrium. The collagen, fibronectin and hyaluronic acid could be recruited for the fabrication of a biodegradable scaffold that promotes chondrocyte growth for autologous chondrocyte implantation or for formation of cartilage.
