Previous issue date: 2018-06-20 / CAPES / O câncer se trata de uma das principais causas de mortes no mundo, sendo o câncer de pulmão o primeiro em incidência mundial. No Brasil, o câncer de pulmão é o segundo principal responsável por mortes por câncer em homens (após câncer de próstata) e o quarto em mulheres - sendo o Rio Grande do Sul o segundo estado brasileiro com maior incidência de casos de câncer. Caracterizado pelo crescimento desordenado e desenfreado de células, o desenvolvimento tumoral é definido pela evasão da morte celular e tem sido intimamente correlacionado à inflamação. Tratamentos usuais do câncer, como quimioterapia e radioterapia, apresentam elevados efeitos adversos ao paciente, além do alto custo. Tendo em vista que a maior parte das drogas antineoplásicas produzidas são oriundas de compostos naturais ou de seus derivados, é constante a busca por novos metabólitos de origem natural, em especial os de origem vegetal - que apresentam potencial na busca por novas moléculas para síntese de fármacos. Diversos fitocomponentes, como o terpeno α-terpineol (TPN), apresentam efeito antiproliferativo e anticancerígeno em linhagens de adenocarcinoma de mama, próstata e ovário, e leucêmicas. Neste trabalho foi avaliado o potencial anti-proliferativo do TPN frente à seis linhagens tumorais humanas (A549, MCF-7, HT-29, Caco-2, LNCaP, ACP-03), sendo a A549 (câncer de pulmão) selecionada para experimentos de tratamento repetido por seis dias em associação com o quimioterápico doxorrubicina (DOXO). O mecanismo de morte celular, marcadores moleculares, atividade
enzimática (JAK-3, JNK-3, p38-α), migração celular e inibição de TNF-α foram avaliados. Dentre as seis linhagens analisadas, três (A549, MCF-7, HT-29) apresentaram redução significativa da viabilidade celular após tratamento com o TPN por 48 h. A associação do TPN com a DOXO na linhagem A549 potencializou o efeito anti-proliferativo em comparação com a DOXO. Após seis dias de tratamento observou-se comportamento dose- e tempo-dependente da DOXO e do TPN sem apresentar diferença estatística entre eles. O TPN apresentou atividade inibitória da p38-α (IC50=729 μ M) e JAK3 (IC50=6,3 μM). Após 48 h de
tratamento, observou-se e necrose nas células tratadas com DOXO (21,5 %) e TPN (7,3 %).Com a associação de ambas as drogas, a taxa de necrose elevou-se para 33,5 %, bem como para os seis dias de tratamento (52,3 %). Observou-se ainda, redução da migração celular após 120 h de tratamento com o TPN em comparação ao controle. Com base no exposto acima, o TPN apresenta potencial como biomolécula para o desenvolvimento de novos fármacos ou mesmo seu uso, como coadjuvante no tratamento de câncer de pulmão humano. / Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with lung cancer as the major one. In Brazil, lung cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men (after the prostate cancer) and fourth in women. Rio Grande do Sul is the second Brazilian state with the highest incidence of cancer. Characterized by disordered cell growth, tumor development is defined by cell death evasion and has been closely correlated to inflammation. Standard cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, cause adverse effects on patients. Considering that most of the antineoplastic drugs produced are derived from natural compounds or their derivatives, natural products (especially those of plant origin) present potential in the search for new molecules for drug synthesis. Several phytoconstituents, such as the terpene α-terpineol (TPN), have antiproliferative and anticancer effects in cell lines of breast, prostate and ovary carcinomas, and leukemic cells. In the present study, the anti-proliferative potential of TPN on six human tumor cell lines (A549, MCF-7, HT-29, Caco-2, LNCaP and ACP-03) was evaluated. The A549 cell line (lung adenocarcinoma) was selected
for experiments of six days with TPN and doxorubicin (DOXO) co-treatment. Mechanisms of cell death, molecular markers, enzymatic activity (JAK-3, JNK-3, p38-α), cell migration and inhibition of TNF-α were evaluated. Among the six lines, three of them (A549, MCF-7, HT-29) have shown a significant reduction of cell viability after 48 h treatment with TPN. Co-treatment of TPN and DOXO on A549 potentiated the antiproliferative effect compared with DOXO treatment. After six days of treatment, dose and time-dependent effect of DOXO and TPN were observed. TPN showed inhibitory activity on p38-α (IC50 = 729 μM) and JAK3
(IC50 = 6.3 μM). After 48 h of treatment, necrosis was observed in cells treated with DOXO (21,5 %) and TPN (7,3 %). The co-treatment of both drugs increased the necrosis rate up to 33,5 %, as well in the 6th day of treatment (52,3 %). It was also observed a cell migration reduction after 120 h of TPN treatment in comparison with control. Based on that, TPN can be characterized as a potential biomolecule for new drugs development or even its use as adjuvant in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.

Shb and Its Homologues: Signaling in T Lymphocytes and FibroblastsLindholm, Cecilia January 2002 (has links)
<p>Stimulation of the T cell receptor (TCR) induces tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous intracellular proteins, leading to activation of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene in T lymphocytes. Shb is a ubiquitously expressed adapter protein, with the ability to associate with the T cell receptor and several signaling proteins in T cells, including: the TCR ζ-chain, LAT, PLC-γ1, Vav, SLP-76 and Gads. Jurkat T cells expressing Shb with a mutation in the SH2 domain, exhibited reduced phosphorylation of several proteins and abolished activation of the MAP kinases ERK1, ERK2 and JNK, upon CD3 stimulation. The TCR induced Ca<sup>2+</sup> response in these cells was abolished, together with the activation of the IL-2 promoter via the transcription factor NFAT. Consequently, IL-2 production was also perturbed in these cells, compared to normal Jurkat T cells. Shb was also seen to associate with the β and γ chains of the IL-2 receptor, upon IL-2 stimulation, in T and NK cells. This association occurred between the Shb SH2 domain and Tyr-510 of the IL-2R β chain. The proline-rich domains of Shb were found to associate with the tyrosine kinases JAK1 and JAK3, which are important for STAT-mediated proliferation of T and NK cells upon IL-2 stimulation. Shb was also found to be involved in IL-2 mediated regulation of apoptosis. These findings indicate a dual role for Shb in T cells, where Shb is involved in both T cell receptor and IL-2 receptor signaling. </p><p>A Shb homologue, Shf was identified, and seen to associate with the PDGF-α-receptor. Shf shares high sequence homology with Shb and a Shd (also of the Shb family) in the SH2 domain and in four motifs containing putative tyrosine phosphorylation sites. When Shf was overexpressed in fibroblasts, these cells displayed significantly lower rates of apoptosis than control cells in the presence of PDGF-AA. These findings suggest a role for the novel adapter Shf in PDGF-receptor signaling and regulation of apoptosis.</p>
