O antineoplásico ciclofosfamida (CF) tem como efeitos colaterais, o comprometimento da função de células do sistema imune, a indução do aumento de marcadores de estresse oxidativo e a ocorrência de danos renais e hepáticos. A levedura Pichia pastoris é atualmente utilizada como sistema de expressão de proteínas recombinantes para a produção dos mais diferentes tipos de proteínas heterólogas. No entanto, alguns estudos vêm demonstrado que essa levedura possui propriedades probióticas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a segurança da utilização da levedura P. pastoris (P.p.) em camundongos imunossuprimidos, bem como seu efeito sobre parâmetros imunológicos, histopatológicos e de estresse oxidativo em um modelo de imunossupressão induzida por ciclofosfamida (CF). Foram utilizados 20 camundongos Swiss machos, divididos em quatro grupos: controle, controle CF (tratados com 250 mg.kg-1 de CF), controle P. p (suplementados com 109 UFC.mL-1) e CF + P.p. Foram realizados leucograma, análise histopatológica, pesagem dos animais e ensaio de TBARS. Foi observado que a CF reduziu os níveis de leucócitos, neutrófilos e linfócitos e P. pastoris foi capaz de aumentar o número de leucócitos e neutrófilos dos animais imunossuprimidos. Além disso, P. pastoris mostrou-se segura também em animais imunossuprimidos, não causando mortes. As análises histopatológicas demonstraram que a CF causou lesões renais e hepáticas e P. pastoris foi capaz de reduzir as lesões hepáticas causadas pelo quimioterápico. Quando avaliado o estresse oxidativo, foi observado que P. pastoris reduziu os níveis de espécies reativas ao TBA no rim e cérebro dos animais tratados com CF e no fígado e cérebro de animais saudáveis. Dessa forma, a levedura P. pastoris demonstra um efeito protetor aos danos causados pela CF. / Actually the potential of probiotics to modulate the host immune system and to reduce oxidative stress is being observed in several studies. Antineoplastic cyclophosphamide (CF) has the effect of compromising the immune system's cell function, inducing increased markers of oxidative stress, and causing renal and hepatic damage. Pichia pastoris yeast is currently used as a recombinant protein expression system for the production of the most different types of heterologous proteins. However, some studies have shown that this yeast possesses probiotic properties. The present study aimed to evaluate the safety of the use of the P. pastoris yeast, as well as its effect on immunological, histopathological and oxidative stress parameters in an immunosuppressive model. Twenty male Swiss mice were divided into four groups: control, CF control (250 mg.kg-1), P. p control(109 CFU.mL-1) and CF + P. p. Leukogram, histopathological analysis, animal weighing and TBARS assay were performed. It was observed that CF reduced the levels of leukocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes, and P. pastoris was able to increase the number of leukocytes and neutrophils of immunosuppressed animals. In addition, P. pastoris was also safe in immunosuppressed animals, not causing deaths. Histopathological analyzes demonstrated that CF caused renal and hepatics lesions and P. pastoris was able to reduce the hepatics lesions caused by chemotherapy. When oxidative stress was evaluated, it was observed that P. pastoris reduced the levels of TBA reactive species in the kidney and brain of animals treated with CF, and in the liver and brain of healthy animals. Therefore, P. pastoris yeast demonstrates a protective effect to CF damage.
