Estudo da ativação eosinofílica e de matriz extracelular de tecido pulmonar periférico em cobaias com inflamação alérgica pulmonar: efeitos do tratamento com dexametasona e antagonista do receptor do cisteinil-leucotrieno D4 </sub / Evaluation of the eosinophilic response and extracellular matrix remodeling: effects of dexamethasone and cisteinil-leukotriene D4 antagonist treatment in guinea pigs with chronic allergic inflammation.

Objetivos: Comparar os efeitos dos tratamentos com montelucaste e dexametasona no recrutamento eosinofílico e na avaliação de células positivas para eotaxina, RANTES, fibronectina, IGF-I e NF-B tanto no parênquima pulmonar distal, quanto nas vias aéreas de cobaias com inflamação alérgica crônica. Métodos: As cobaias receberam inalação com ovoalbumina (grupo OVA- 2 vezes semanais, durante 4 semanas, totalizando 7 inalações). Após a quarta inalação, as cobaias foram tratadas com montelucaste (grupo OVA-M: 10mg/Kg/VO/dia) ou dexametasona ( grupo OVA-D: 5mg/Kg/IP/dia). Após 72 horas da sétima inalação, as cobaias foram anestesiadas e os pulmões foram removidos e submetidos a avaliação histopatológica. Resultados: Os tratamentos com montelucaste e dexametasona reduziram o número de eosinófilos tanto no parênquima pulmonar distal quanto nas vias aéreas, quando comparados ao grupo OVA (p<0.05). No parênquima pulmonary distal, ambos os tratamentos foram efetivos na redução de células positivas para RANTES, NF-B e fibronectina, quando comparados ao grupo OVA (p<0.001). O tratamento com montelucaste mostrou melhor eficácia na redução de células positivas para eotaxina, quando comparado ao tratamento com dexametasona (p<0.001), por outro lado, o tratamento com dexametasona mostrou-se mais significativo na redução de células positivas para IGF-I, quando comparado ao tratamento com montelucaste (p<0.001). Nas vias aéreas, ambos os tratamentos foram efetivos na redução de células positivas para IGF-I, RANTES e fibronectina, quando comparados ao grupo OVA (p<0.05). O tratamento com dexametasona foi mais efetivo na redução de células positivas para eotaxina e NF-B, quando comparado ao tratamento com montelucaste (p<0.05). Conclusões: Neste modelo animal, ambos os tratamentos foram efetivos no controle da resposta inflamatória, tanto no parênquima pulmonar distal, quanto nas vias aéreas / Aims: Compare the effects of montelukast or dexamethasone treatments on eosinophilic recruitment, eotaxin, RANTES, fibronectin, IGF-I and NF-B positive cells of distal lung parenchyma and also in airway walls of guinea pigs (GP) with chronic allergic inflammation. Methods: GP were inhaled with ovalbumin (OVA group-2x/week/4weeks). After 4th inhalation, GP were treated with montelukast (M group: 10mg/Kg/PO/day) or dexamethasone (D group: 5mg/Kg/IP/day). After 72 hrs of 7th inhalation, GP were anesthetised, lungs were removed and submitted to histopathological evaluation. Results: Montelukast and dexamethasone treatments reduced the number of eosinophils both in airway wall as well as in distal lung parenchyma compared to OVA group (p<0.05). On distal parenchyma both montelukast and dexamethasone were effective in reducing RANTES, NF-B and fibronectin positive cells compared to OVA group (p<0.001). Montelukast was more effective in reducing the eotaxin positive cells on distal parenchyma compared to dexamethasone treatment (p<0.001), while there was a more expressive reduction of IGF-I positive cells in OVA-D group (p<0.001). On airway walls, both montelukast and dexamethasone were effective in reducing IGF-I, RANTES and fibronectin positive cells compared to OVA group (p<0.05). Dexamethasone was more effective reducing the number of eotaxin and NF-kB positive cells than Montelukast (p<0.05). Conclusions: In this animal model, both treatments were effective in modulating the eosinophilic response in distal lung parenchyma and in airway wall, contributing to a better control of the inflammatory response in distal lung parenchyma as well as in airway walls. Dexamethasone treatment induced a greater reduction of NF-B expression in airway walls which suggests one of the mechanisms that explains the higher efficacy of this therapeutic approach
