Don ? utilizada no Vale do Jequitinhonha como planta anti-inflamat?ria na forma de decoc??o de suas ra?zes. Tendo em vista a complexidade do processo inflamat?rio, o qual envolve a ativa??o de c?lulas do sistema imune e produ??o de diversos mediadores, o objetivo desse estudo foi realizar uma triagem fitoqu?mica e avaliar a poss?vel atividade anti-inflamat?ria, in vitro, do extrato diclorometano-etan?lico de ra?zes de E. crinitum, atrav?s da avalia??o do efeito do mesmo sobre a prolifera??o de linf?citos, a produ??o de citocinas e da ciclooxigenase 2 (COX-2). A triagem fitoqu?mica do extrato foi realizada por meio de rea??es cromog?nicas, fluorog?nicas e de precipita??o, seguidas da an?lise em cromatografia l?quida de alta efici?ncia acoplada a detector de arranjo de diodos (CLAE-DAD). A citotoxicidade do extrato sobre hem?cias, ap?s 4 horas de cultura, e sobre leuc?citos do sangue perif?rico humano, ap?s 24 horas ou 5 dias de cultura, foi avaliada por meio do teste de atividade hemol?tica e pelo m?todo de exclus?o com azul de Tripan, respectivamente. Na avalia??o do efeito do extrato sobre a prolifera??o de linf?citos, por citometria de fluxo, c?lulas mononucleares do sangue perif?rico humano (PBMC) foram incubadas, por 5 dias, em meio de cultura contendo o mit?geno Fitohemaglutinina (PHA), na presen?a ou aus?ncia do extrato nas concentra??es de 25 ?g/mL, 12,5 ?g/mL e 6,25 ?g/mL. Essas mesmas culturas foram realizadas no tempo de 36 horas para an?lise da citocina IL-2, por ELISA. Para an?lise da produ??o das citocinas TNF-? e IFN-?, culturas de sangue total foram estimuladas com Miristato Acetato de Forbol (PMA) e tratadas com o extrato nas concentra??es de 50 ?g/mL, 25 ?g/mL e 12,5 ?g/mL. Essas concentra??es foram utilizadas em culturas de sangue total estimuladas com lipopolissacar?deo (LPS) para investiga??o do efeito do extrato sobre a express?o de COX-2. A produ??o de citocinas e de COX-2 foi analisada por citometria de fluxo. Os resultados evidenciaram a presen?a de terpenos e das subclasses dos flavonoides: flavonas e flavon?is no extrato. O extrato, nas concentra??es iguais ou inferiores a 50 ?g/mL, n?o foi t?xico para culturas celulares de 24 horas e, para culturas de 5 dias, as concentra??es n?o t?xicas foram iguais ou inferiores a 25 ?g/mL. Quanto ? a??o anti-inflamat?ria, o extrato n?o inibiu a produ??o das citocinas TNF-? e IFN-? e tamb?m n?o foi capaz de reduzir a express?o de COX-2. No entanto, o extrato inibiu a prolifera??o de linf?citos e suas subpopula??es T CD4 e TCD8, tendo uma efic?cia em rela??o ? Dexametasona de 71,65%, 53,14% e 167,94% para linf?citos totais, T CD4 e T CD8, respectivamente. O extrato tamb?m reduziu os n?veis de IL-2 nas culturas estimuladas com PHA. Esses achados sugerem que o extrato apresenta um efeito inibidor, principalmente sobre a prolifera??o de c?lulas T CD8, associado ? inibi??o na produ??o de IL-2. Diante dos resultados apresentados, os princ?pios ativos presentes na planta parecem exercer suas fun??es anti-inflamat?rias regulando a prolifera??o de linf?citos T, principalmente os linf?citos T CD8. Essa fun??o poderia ser explorada em desordens de natureza inflamat?ria-linfoproliferativa, bem como preven??o da rejei??o de transplantes de ?rg?os. Para tal, ensaios adicionais s?o necess?rios para investigar e identificar os constituintes ativos e os mecanismos moleculares envolvidos na a??o inibit?ria apresentada pelo extrato. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ? Programa de P?s-gradua??o em Ci?ncias Farmac?uticas, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2014. / ABSTRACT The Eriosema crinitum (Kunth) G. Don is used in Jequitinhonha Valley as anti-inflammatory plant in the form of decoction of its roots. Given the complexity of the inflammatory process, which involves the activation of immune cells and production of several mediators, the aim of this study was to perform a phytochemical screening and evaluate the potential anti-inflammatory activity, in vitro, the dichloromethane-ethanol extract of the roots of E. crinitum by assessing the effect of the same on lymphocyte proliferation, production of cytokines and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The phytochemical screening of the extract was performed using chromogenic reactions, fluorogenic and precipitation followed by analysis in high efficiency liquid chromatography coupled with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). The cytotoxicity of the extract after 24 hours or 5 days of culture on erythrocytes and leukocytes in human peripheral blood was evaluated by the test of hemolytic activity and the method of exclusion with Trypan blue, respectively. In evaluating of the effect of the extract on the proliferation of lymphocytes by flow cytometry, mononuclear cells from human peripheral blood (PBMC) have been incubated for 5 days in a culture medium containing the mitogen Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in the presence or absence of extract at concentrations of 25 ?g/mL, 12.5 ?g/mL and 6.25 ?g/mL. These cultures too were performed in the time of 36 hours for analysis of IL -2 by ELISA. To analyze the production of cytokines TNF-? and IFN-?, whole blood cultures were stimulated with Phorbol Myristate acetate (PMA) and treated with the extract at concentrations of 50 ?g/mL, 25 ?g/mL and 12.5 ?g/mL. These concentrations were used in whole blood cultures stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to investigate the effect of the extract on the expression of COX-2. Cytokine production and COX-2 was analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed the presence of terpenes and subclasses of flavonoids: flavones and flavonols in extract. The extract, in concentration equal or greater than 50 ?g/mL was not toxic to cell cultures after 24 hours and in culture after 5 days, non- toxic concentrations were equal to or greater than 25 ?g/mL. In relation to the anti-inflammatory action, the extract did not inhibit the production of TNF-? and IFN-? and also was not able to reduce the expression of COX-2. Moreover, the extract inhibited the proliferation of lymphocytes and their subpopulations CD4 and CD8, and its efficacy compared to dexamethasone was 71.65%, 167.94% and 53.14% for total lymphocytes, CD4 and CD8, respectively. The extract also reduced the levels of IL-2 in cultures stimulated with PHA. These findings suggest that the extract has an inhibitory effect, especially on the proliferation of CD8 T cells associated with the inhibition of IL-2. Considering the presented results, the active molecules present in the plant seem to play their anti-inflammatory functions by regulating the T lymphocytes proliferation,?mainly T CD8 lymphocytes. This function could be exploited in inflammatory lymphoproliferative disorders, as well as in the prevention of transplant rejection. Further trials are needed to investigate the active constituents and the molecular mechanisms involved in the inhibitory action displayed by the extract.

In addition, to study the relationship between the rate of cell proliferation and apoptosis by evaluating the expression of Ki-67 protein and caspase-3 by immunohistochemistry. Material and Methods: A cross- sectional study was designed to select patients treated at Hospital S?o Lucas of PUCRS between September 2001 and October 2009. The patients were divided in three groups: 25 patients diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of breast with axillary lymph node metastasis, 25 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma of breast without axillary lymph node metastasis and a control group composed by tissue samples of 25 patients diagnosed with fibrocystic change of the breast. The expression of Hsp27, Ki-67 and caspase 3 expression was evaluated by image analysis and the rate of proliferation (Ki-67) and apoptosis (caspase 3) was calculated for the three groups. Results: The present study showed an increased expression of Hsp27 in the group of invasive ductal carcinomas without metastasis as compared to the control group. There was no significant difference of expression of Hsp27 between the group of ductal carcinoma with axillary metastasis and the control group. The expression of Hsp27 was significantly higher in the group without axillary metastasis as compared to the group with metastasis in both the primary tumor (<0.001) and the respective lymph node tissue samples (=0.003). The expression of Ki-67 and the rate of proliferation (ki-67) and apoptosis (caspase 3) were significantly higher in the groups with invasive ductal carcinoma as compared to the control group. There was no difference in the expression of Ki-67 and the rate of proliferation and apoptosis between the two groups of invasive ductal carcinoma. There was no significant difference in the expression of caspase 3 among the three groups. Conclusion: The quantitative analysis of Hsp27 demonstrated increased expression of this protein in carcinomas without axillary metastases, with a significantly higher expression in the primary tumor and lymph node tissue samples of this group as compared to the group without axillary metastasis. Although the methodology employed and the number of cases evaluated in this work do not allow one to conclude that such behavior in metastatic ductal carcinomas of breast is constant, such finding warrants further investigation. / Objetivos: Avaliar a express?o de Hsp27 (HspB1) em amostras teciduais de carcinomas ductais invasores em mulheres com e sem presen?a de met?stase em linfonodo sentinela axilar e estudar a rela??o da taxa de prolifera??o celular e apoptose, atrav?s da avalia??o imunoistoqu?mica da express?o das prote?nas Hsp27, Ki-67 e caspase 3 em carcinomas ductais invasores de mulheres com e sem presen?a de met?stase linfonodal, tratadas em um hospital de ensino, comparado com amostras de pacientes diagnosticadas com altera??o fibroc?stica no tecido mam?rio. Material e M?todos: Foi realizado um estudo do tipo transversal, sendo selecionadas para este trabalho pacientes tratadas no Hospital S?o Lucas da PUCRS no per?odo entre setembro de 2001 e outubro de 2009 cujas bi?psias foram divididas em tr?s grupos: 25 pacientes com diagn?stico de carcinoma ductal invasor de mama com presen?a de met?stase linfonodal; e 25 pacientes com carcinoma ductal invasor de mama sem presen?a de met?stase linfonodal. Para constitui??o do grupo controle foi realizada a sele??o aleat?ria de 25 pacientes com diagn?stico de altera??o fibroc?stica da mama. Atrav?s da t?cnica de imunoistoqu?mica, tamb?m foram avaliadas as express?es de Hsp27, caspase 3 e Ki67 por an?lise de imagem digital e calculada a raz?o entre a taxa de prolifera??o (Ki-67) e apoptose (caspase 3) dos grupos estudados. Resultados: O presente estudo evidenciou a express?o aumentada da Hsp27 em carcinomas ductais invasores sem met?stase axilar, quando comparados ao grupo dos carcinomas ductais invasores com met?tase axilar e grupo controle. A express?o de Hsp 27 foi maior no grupo com carcinoma invasor sem met?stase axilar tanto no tecido da neoplasia prim?ria (p<0,001) quanto no respectivo tecido linfonodal comparado ao grupo com carcinoma com met?stase axilar (=0,003). Houve diferen?a na express?o da prote?na Ki-67 e raz?o entre prolifera??o celular e apoptose entre os grupos de pacientes com carcinoma ductal invasor com e sem met?stases quando comparados ao grupo controle, por?m n?o houve diferen?a significativa da express?o de Ki-67 e da raz?o entre prolifera??o e apoptose entre os grupos com carcinoma invasor com e sem met?stase, ou entre a express?o de caspase 3 nos tr?s grupos quando comparados entre si. Conclus?o: A an?lise quantitativa da Hsp27 demonstrou maior express?o da prote?na nos tecidos da neoplasia prim?ria e nos linfonodos em carcinomas sem met?stase em linfonodo sentinela axilar. Embora a metodologia empregada e o n?mero de casos estudados nesse trabalho n?o permitam concluir que esse comportamento na doen?a metast?tica seja um achado constante, esse resultado justifica a necessidade de avaliar esse achado em estudos futuros.

O extrato etan?lico, por sua vez, nas concentra??es de 6,25 e 12,5 ?g/mL reduziu significativamente a prolifera??o de linf?citos, ao mesmo tempo, nas concentra??es de 50 e 75 ?g/mL inibiu a produ??o das citocinas TNF-? e IL-2 em c?lulas CD8+, na maior concentra??o inibiu ainda a produ??o de IL-2 na popula??o de linf?citos totais. Sugere-se que o extrato etan?lico de A. fastigiatum possui componentes ativos agindo sinergicamente ou de forma isolada que contribuem para atividade anti-inflamat?ria atribu?da ? planta em seu uso na medicina popular. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

Rob. is a plant commonly used in the folk medicine of the Jequitinhonha Valley as anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Because of the role of the immune system and soluble inflammatory factors in the etiology and pathophysiological mechanism of various inflammatory diseases, this study aimed to investigate parameters related to the anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanol extract of A. fastigiatum and a fraction derived from this extract. The identification of the chemical constituents of the fraction of ethanol extract of A. fastigiatum was performed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Efficiency Diode Arrangement detectors coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-MS) followed by Mass Spectrometry in Tandem with electrospray ionization (ESI-MS/MS). The exclusion technique with Trypan blue was used to determine the viability of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures, previously incubated for 8, 24 and 120 hours with the ethanol extract, the fraction and the solvent dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). In the evaluation of the proliferative profile of lymphocytes using the flow cytometry technique, PBMC stimulated with the mitogen Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) were incubated for 120 hours in the absence or presence of different non-toxic concentrations of the mentioned components. In order to analyze the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, PBMC treated or not with different non-toxic concentrations of the ethanolic extract of A. fastigiatum, of the fraction, and of the solvent DMSO was incubated for 8 hours and stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) in the last 4 hours. Subsequently, total lymphocytes, CD4+ and CD8+ cells were assessed for production of IFN-?, TNF-? and IL-2, using flow cytometry. According to our results, the concentration of DMSO, for all cell cultures treated with ethanolic extract and its fraction was defined as 1% v/v for evaluation of cytotoxicity and analysis of cytokine production by lymphocytes, and 0.5% v/v to be used in the cell proliferation assay. In the phytochemical analysis of the fraction of ethanol extract, were identified two flavonols never before described in the chemical constitution of the plant, 7-methyl-quercetin and Rhamnocitrina. Such compounds did not modified the anti-inflammatory parameters evaluated in this study. The ethanol extract, on the other hand, in concentrations of 6.25 and 12.5 ?g/ml significantly reduced the proliferation of lymphocytes, while at concentrations of 50 and 75 ug/mL, it inhibited the production of TNF-? and IL-2 in CD8+, in addition, at the highest concentration it inhibited IL-2 production by total lymphocytes population. It is suggested that the ethanol extract of A.fastigiatum has active components acting synergistically or separately, resulting in the anti-inflammatory activity attributed to the plant by the folk medicine.

O monitoramento das mat?rias-primas e da prolifera??o de leveduras ? uma necessidade para o sucesso do processo fermentativo. Nesse sentido, a citometria de fluxo, que ? um m?todo r?pido e preciso, pode se apresentar como ferramenta promissora no campo da fermenta??o e no controle de bioprocessos. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar a an?lise do crescimento e heterogeneidade populacional de uma linhagem comercial de Saccharomyces cerevisiae pela t?cnica de citometria de fluxo. Para isso foi utilizada a marca??o intracelular com o fluorocromo ?ster succinimid?lico de diacetato de carboxifluoresce?na. A suspens?o de levedura incorporada com o fluorocromo foi transferida para tubos de ensaio contendo 10 mL de YEPD e incubada a 25? C e foram analisadas, ap?s diferentes tempos, por citometria de fluxo, microscopia confocal e espectrofotometria. Os resultados demonstraram que foi poss?vel observar, por citometria de fluxo, altera??es morfol?gicas da linhagem Saccharomyces cerevisiae ao longo do tempo, bem como quantificar o decaimento da fluoresc?ncia do corante CFSE ap?s sucessivos processos mit?ticos. Por essa t?cnica tamb?m foi poss?vel mensurar o n?mero de c?lulas da linhagem estudada ao longo do processo de multiplica??o comparando-se ?s outras metodologias comumente utilizadas para este fim.

They have an important role in fermentation processes, such as in the use for the production of alcoholic beverages and breads, being considered microorganisms safe for food. The monitoring of raw materials and the proliferation of yeasts is a necessity for the success of the fermentation process. In this sense, flow cytometry, which is a fast and precise method, can be presented as a promising tool in the field of fermentation and in the control of bioprocesses. Thus, the objective of this work was to analyze the growth and population heterogeneity of a commercial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the flow cytometry technique. For this, intracellular labeling was used with the fluorochrome succinimidyl ester of carboxyfluorescein diacetate. The yeast suspension incorporated with the fluorochrome was transferred into test tubes containing 10 ml of YEPD and incubated at 25 ? C and analyzed after different times by flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and spectrophotometry. The results demonstrated that it was possible to observe, by flow cytometry, morphological alterations of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae lineage over time, as well as to quantify the decay of CFSE dye fluorescence after successive mitotic processes. By this technique it was also possible to measure the number of cells of the lineage studied throughout the multiplication process, comparing to the other methodologies commonly used for this purpose. It is concluded with this study that flow cytometry proved to be a reliable and sensitive tool for the analysis of the growth and population heterogeneity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

No entanto, o papel da sinaliza??o por Shh em egi?es dorsais, como o telenc?falo dorsal, origem do c?rtex cerebral, n?o est? bem documentada. A partir do cultivo de c?lulas de roedores retiradas do telenc?falo dorsal em desenvolvimento, observamos a influ?ncia do Shh sobre a prolifera??o e diferencia??o das c?lulas-tronco neurais. Utilizando v?deo-microscopia de tempo intervalado, podemos avaliar o tempo de ciclo celular, tamanho de c?lulas progenitoras antes da divis?o celular e tipo de divis?o sofrida pelas c?lulas na presen?a ou na aus?ncia de sinaliza??o por Shh. Verificamos um aumento do n?mero de c?lulas em estado proliferativo assim como um aumento de c?lulas reativas para o marcador astrocit?rio GFAP com o tratamento com Shh. Em contrapartida, ap?s bloqueio da sinaliza??o por Shh, observamos um menor n?mero de c?lulas em estado proliferativo, desacelera??o do ciclo celular, aumento da morte celular e redu??o da astrogliog?nese. Por fim, com intuito de avaliar a influencia do Shh in vivo, n?s injetamos f?rmacos agonista (Purmorfamina) e antagonista (Ciclopamina) da via de sinaliza??o dessa prote?na em diferentes per?odos da gesta??o de roedores. Ao avaliar os animais na vida p?s-natal, observamos um aumento no n?mero de progenitores gliais gerados com o tratamento com Purmorfamina na subst?ncia branca, enquanto na subst?ncia cinzenta n?o parece haver altera??o dessa popula??o em ambos os tratamentos. Al?m disso, a popula??o de c?lulas astrocit?rias, evidenciada por marcadores espec?ficos, parece estar alterada com a manipula??o da sinaliza??o por Shh. Em conjunto, nossos dados sugerem que a Shh est? presente no telenc?falo dorsal em per?odos precoces do desenvolvimento e influencia a gera??o, sobreviv?ncia e prolifera??o de progenitores e c?lulas gliais.

Aiming to expand the use in biomedical applications, chitosan membranes were modified by plasma using the following gases: nitrogen (N2), methane (CH4), argon (Ar), oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2). The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle, surface energy and water absorption test. Biological Tests were also performed, such as: test sterilization and proliferation of fibroblasts (3T3 line). Through SEM we observed morphological changes occurring during the plasma treatment, the formation of micro and nano-sized valleys. MFA was used to analyze different roughness parameters (Ra, Rp, Rz) and surface topography. It was found that the treated samples had an increase in surface roughness and sharp peaks. Methane plasma treatment decreased the hydrophilicity of the membranes and also the rate of water absorption, while the other treatments turned the membranes hydrophilic. The sterilization was effective in all treatment times with the following gases: Ar, N2 and H2. With respect to proliferation, all treatments showed an improvement in cell proliferation increased in a range 150% to 250% compared to untreated membrane. The highlights were the treatments with Ar 60 min, O2 60 min, CH4 15 min. Observing the results of the analyzes performed in this study, it appears that there is no single parameter that influences cell proliferation, but rather a set of ideal conditions that favor cell proliferation / A quitosana est? sendo estudada para utiliza??o como curativo devido suas propriedades biol?gicas. Com o intuito de ampliar o uso em aplica??es biom?dicas, membranas de quitosana foram modificadas por plasma, utilizando os seguintes gases: nitrog?nio (N2), metano (CH4), arg?nio (Ar), oxig?nio (O2) e hidrog?nio (H2). As amostras foram caracterizadas por microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV); microscopia de for?a at?mica (MFA); ?ngulo de contato; energia de superf?cie; ensaio de absor??o de ?gua. Testes biol?gicos tamb?m foram realizados, como: teste de esteriliza??o e prolifera??o de fibroblastos (linhagem 3T3). Atrav?s do MEV foi poss?vel observar as modifica??es morfol?gicas ocorridas durante o tratamento por plasma, como a forma??o de vales micro e nanom?tricos. A MFA foi utilizada para analisar diferentes par?metros de rugosidade (Ra, Rp, Rz) e topografia da superf?cie. Verificou-se que as amostras tratadas tiveram aumento na rugosidade e uma superf?cie com picos pontiagudos. O tratamento por plasma de metano diminuiu a hidrofilicidade das membranas e tamb?m a taxa de absor??o de ?gua, enquanto os outros tratamentos tornaram as membranas mais hidrof?licas. A esteriliza??o foi eficaz em todos os tempos de tratamento com os seguintes gases: Ar, N2 e H2. Com rela??o ? prolifera??o, todos os tratamentos proporcionaram uma melhora da prolifera??o celular, sendo obtido aumento entre 150% a 250% em rela??o ? membrana n?o tratada. Destacaram-se os tratamentos com Ar 60 min, O2 60 min, CH4 15min. Observando os resultados das an?lises realizadas neste trabalho, verifica-se que n?o existe um par?metro ?nico que influ?ncia a prolifera??o celular, mas sim um conjunto de condi??es ideais que favorecem uma boa prolifera??o celular

Assim, este estudo avaliou o efeito de uma sess?o de HIIE sobre o estado redox e a fun??o de linf?citos em homens jovens sedent?rios. Esse trabalho foi dividido em dois estudos. No estudo 1 avaliou-se o efeito do HIIE sobre a prolifera??o e produ??o de citocinas e o estado redox de c?lulas mononucleares do sangue perif?rico (PBMC). No estudo 2 avaliou-se o efeito do HIIE sobre a viabilidade e express?o de marcadores de ativa??o em linf?citos. As sess?es de HIIE foram realizadas em bicicleta ergom?trica, e consistiram em oito s?ries de 1 min a 90-100% de pot?ncia pico, com 75 segundos de recupera??o ativa, a 30W, entre as s?ries. O sangue venoso foi colhido antes, imediatamente ap?s e 30 minutos ap?s a sess?o de HIIE. Para avalia??o da prolifera??o celular, por citometria de fluxo, as PBMC foram coradas com Carboxifluoresce?na Succinimidil Ester (CFSE) (10 ?M) e estimuladas com o superant?geno SEB (100 ng/mL), durante 5 dias a 37? C, 5% de CO2. A produ??o de IL-2 e IFN-? em resposta a estimula??o por SEB durante 18 horas, foi avaliada por ELISA. O estado redox celular foi avaliado pela mensura??o da atividade das enzimas catalase (CAT) e super?xido dismutase (SOD), a concentra??o de subst?ncias que reagem ao ?cido tiobarbit?rico (TBARS) e conte?do de glutationa reduzida (GSH). Para avalia??o da viabilidade celular, por citometria de fluxo, as c?lulas foram marcadas com anticorpos anti-Anexina V FITC e iodeto de prop?deo. Para an?lise da ativa??o dos linf?citos, por citometria de fluxo, as PBMC foram estimuladas com SEB por 18 horas, e em seguida marcadas com anticorpos fluorescentes dirigidos contra CD4, CD8, CD19, CD25 e CD69. Os dados foram analisados utitlizando os testes one-way ou two-way ANOVA, considerando p ? 0,05. O HIIE promoveu redu??o na prolifera??o de linf?citos (p = 0,01), aumento na concentra??o de IL-2 (p = 0,02), e desequil?brio redox nas PBMC, marcado por aumento nas concentra??es de TBARS (p = 0,02) e diminui??o na atividade da CAT (p = 0,04). O HIIE n?o alterou a viabilidade das PBMC, mas a frequ?ncia de c?lulas CD4 e CD19, positivas para os marcadores CD25 e CD69, foi menor ap?s o exerc?cio. Contudo, como foi observada redu??o na frequ?ncia de c?lulas CD4+ e CD19+, a redu??o da frequ?ncia de express?o de marcadores de ativa??o refletiu a redu??o do n?mero de c?lulas, e n?o da resposta ao est?mulo superantig?nico. Nossos resultados mostram portanto, que apesar do HIIE promover desequil?brio redox nas PBMC a resposta dos linf?citos ao est?mulo superantig?nico n?o ? alterada. A redu??o da resposta proliferativa ?, provavelmente, reflexo da altera??o da distribui??o das subpopula??es linfocit?rias em decorr?ncia do HIIE. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ? Programa Multic?ntrico de P?s-gradua??o em Ci?ncias Fisiol?gicas, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2015. / ABSTRACT High-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) is characterized by brief and repeated intense exercise sessions, interspersed with periods of rest or low intensity exercise. This exercise modality has gained much attention in recent years, although little is known about its effects on immune function and cellular redox state. This study evaluated the effect of HIIE on the redox state and lymphocyte function in sedentary young males. This work was divided in two studies. The firsty study evaluated the effect of HIIE on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) proliferation, cytokine production and redox status. The second study evaluated the effect of HIIE on lymphocyte viability and activation markers expression. HIIE was performed on cycloergometer, and consisted of eight series of 1 min at 90-100% of peak power, with 75 seconds of active recovery, at 30W, between sets. Venous blood was collected before, immediately after and 30 minutes after HIIE. For cell proliferation evaluation by flow cytometry, PBMC were stained with Carboxyfluorescein Succinimidyl Ester (CFSE) (10 mM) and stimulated with the superantigen SEB (100 ng/ml) for 5 days at 37? C, 5% CO2. IL-2 and IFN-? secretion in response to SEB stimulation for 18 hours was assessed by ELISA. The cellular redox status was assessed by measuring the activity of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), the concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and reduced glutathione content (GSH). To assess cellular viability, using flow cytometry, cells were labeled with anti-Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide. To analyze lymphocyte activation, by flow cytometry, PBMC were stimulated with SEB for 18 hours, and then stained with fluorescent antibodies directed against CD4, CD8, CD19, CD25 and CD69. One-way or two-way ANOVA was employed for statistical analyzis, with ? ? 0.05. Lymphocyte proliferation was reduced (p = 0.01) after HIIE, despite increased IL-2 concentration (p = 0.02), and HIIE also induced PBMC redox imbalance characterized by increased TBARS concentration (p = 0.02) and decreased CAT activity (p = 0.04). PBMC viability was not affected by HIIE, but the frequency of CD4+CD25+/CD69+ and CD19+CD25+/CD69+ cells in response to SEB stimulation was lower after exercise. However, as CD4+ and CD19+ frequencies were reduced, reduced activation markers expression was a consequence of cell number reduction. Our results therefore show that, although HIIE induced redox imbalance, lymphocyte response to superantigen stimulation was not affected. Reduced lymphocyte proliferative response after HIIE is probably due to modifications in lymphocyte subpopulations distribution.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar comparativamente a express?o das prote?nas Ki-67 e IMP-3 em QA e CELI a fim de contribuir com informa??es adicionais sobre a carcinog?nese em l?bio inferior. Foram estudados 33 casos de QA e 33 casos de CELI, sendo analisadas as caracter?sticas cl?nico-patol?gicas e a imunoexpress?o do Ki-67 e IMP-3. A an?lise imuno-histoqu?mica do Ki-67 se deu atrav?s da determina??o do ?ndice de prolifera??o (IP) e subsequente classifica??o dos casos de acordo com os escores : 0 (0% de c?lulas positivas), +1(?30%), +2 (>30% a ?60%) e +3 (>60%). Para aplica??o dos testes estat?sticos os casos foram classificados em: sem marca??o (escore 0), baixa express?o (escore +1) e alta express?o (escores +2 e +3). Para a express?o do IMP-3, foi estabelecido o percentual de c?lulas epiteliais imunomarcadas, sendo atribu?dos os escores: 0 (correspondeu a 0%), +1 (at? 30% das c?lulas positivas); +2 (entre 30% a 60% de c?lulas imunomarcadas) e +3 (acima de 60% das c?lulas positivas). Foram utilizados os testes estat?sticos Qui-quadrado de Pearson, Mann-Whitney e Wilcoxon. O n?vel de signific?ncia adotado foi de 5%. A maioria dos caos de QA foi do sexo masculino (78,8%), com m?dia de idade de 50 anos e dos casos de CELI tamb?m predominou o sexo masculino (69,89%) com m?dia de 62 anos. O Ki-67 se expressou em todos os casos de QAs bem como nos casos de CELI, predominando nas duas les?es o escore 2, correspondendo a 81,8% dos casos nas QAs e 54,5% nos CELI.

The objective of this study was to comparatively evaluate the expression of Ki-67 proteins and IMP-3 in AC and LLSCC to contribute with additional information on carcinogenesis in lower lip. A total of 33 cases of AC and 33 cases of LLSCC were studied, analyzed the clinical and pathological features and immunostaining of Ki-67 and IMP-3. Immunohistochemical analysis of Ki-67 was made through the determination of the proliferation index (PI) and subsequent classification of the cases according to the scores: 0 (0% positive cells) +1 (?30%) + 2 (> 30% and ?60%) and +3 (> 60%). For statistical tests cases were classified as unmarked (score 0), low expression (score +1) and high expression (scores +2 and +3). For the expression of IMP-3, the percentage of immunostained epithelial cells was established, and assigned scores: 0 (corresponding to 0%), +1 (up to 30% of positive cells); +2 (From 30% to 60% of immunostained cells) and +3 (over 60% of positive cells). Statistical tests chi-square test, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon were used. The significance level was 5%. Most AC chaos was male (78.8%) with mean age of 50 years and cases of LLSCC also were male (69.89%) with an average of 62 years. The Ki-67 was expressed in all cases of AC and in cases of LLSCC, predominantly in the two injuries the score 2, corresponding to 81.8% of cases in ACs and 54.5% in the CELI. The expression of IMP-3 in ACs occurred in 72.7% of cases, predominantly in 36.3% of LLSCC cases score 1. Already in the IMP-3 was expressed in 60.6% of cases, especially in 27.3% of the score of the cases 3. These results allow us to conclude that the expression of IMP3 and proliferative activity are early events in carcinogenesis independently lower lip state of change.

A primeira parte do trabalho avaliou o efeito do LBI na prolifera??o e viabilidade de c?lulas-tronco da polpa de dentes dec?duos humanos esfoliados (SHED). As c?lulas foram irradiadas ou n?o (controle) com um laser diodo InGaAlP (660 nm, 30 mW, modo de a??o cont?nuo) usando duas diferentes doses (0,5 J/cm2 por 16 segundos e 1,0 J/cm2 por 33 segundos) e os tr?s grupos foram estudados nos intervalos de 0, 24, 48 e 72 h. Foi observado que a dose de 1,0 J/cm2 promoveu um aumento na prolifera??o celular nos intervalos de 48 e 72 h quando comparada ao grupo controle e ? dose de 0,5 J/cm2 e a viabilidade celular n?o foi afetada pela irradia??o ao longo do experimento. Em conjunto, os dados mostraram que os par?metros do LBI utilizados (660 nm, 30 mW, 1,0 J/cm2) promoveram prolifera??o das SHEDs e mantiveram a sua viabilidade. A partir destes resultados favor?veis, a segunda parte do trabalho avaliou o efeito do LBI com os mesmos par?metros na prolifera??o de SHEDs cultivadas sobre arcabou?os nanofibrosos de PLA confeccionados pela t?cnica de eletrofia??o. Este procedimento permite a obten??o de arcabou?os tridimensionais que simulam a matriz extracelular a partir de um biomaterial com propriedades f?sicas favor?veis e baixo custo. Tr?s grupos experimentais (G1 ? n?o irradiado; G2 ? irradiado com 0,5 J/cm2; G3 ? irradiado com 1,0 J/cm2) foram analisados nos intervalos de 24, 48 e 72 h. Os resultados indicaram que o PLA n?o ? citot?xico para as SHEDs e que os grupos submetidos ? laserterapia tiveram maior prolifera??o celular quando comparados com o grupo controle n?o irradiado. Com base nos achados, evidenciou-se que as nanofibras de PLA s?o arcabou?os favor?veis para o cultivo de SHEDs e que a laserterapia estimulou a prolifera??o quando aplicada nas c?lulas cultivadas sobre este arcabou?o. Com base nos dados gerais obtidos, conclui-se que a laserterapia nos par?metros avaliados apresenta efeitos bioestimulat?rios nas SHEDs cultivadas tanto na superf?cie padr?o (pl?stico da placa de cultivo) quanto sobre arcabou?os nanoestruturados de PLA. / The low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been shown positive results in the in vitro proliferation of several cell types. The first part of the study evaluated the effect of LLLT on the proliferation and viability of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED).Cells were irradiated or not (control) with an InGaAlP diode laser (660 nm, 30 mW, continuous action mode) using two different doses (0.5 J/cm2 for 16 seconds and 1.0 J/cm2 for 33 seconds) and the three groups were analyzed at the intervals of 0, 24, 48 and 72 h.It was observed that the dose of 1.0 J/cm2 promoted an increase in cell proliferation at the 48 and 72 h intervals when compared to the control group and the dose of 0.5 J/cm2, and that cell viability was not affected by irradiation throughout the experiment. Taken together, the data showed that the LLLT parameters (660 nm, 30 mW, 1.0 J/cm2) promoted proliferation of SHEDs and maintained their viability. Based on these favorable results, the second part of the study evaluated the effect of LLLT with the same parameters on the proliferation of SHEDs cultured on PLA nanofibrous scaffolds obtained by electrospinning. This procedure allows obtaining three-dimensional scaffolds that mimic the extracellular matrix from a biomaterial with favorable physical properties and low cost.Three experimental groups (G1 - non-irradiated; G2 - irradiated with 0.5 J/cm2; G3 - irradiated with 1.0 J/cm2) were analyzed at 24, 48 and 72 h. The results indicated that PLA is not cytotoxic to SHEDs and that the groups submitted to laser therapy had higher cell growth when compared to the nonirradiated control group. Based on these findings, it was shown that PLA nanofibers are favorable scaffolds for the cultivation of SHEDs and that laser therapy stimulated the proliferation when applied to the cells cultured on this scaffold. Based on the general data obtained, it is concluded that the laser therapy in the evaluated parameters has biostimulatory effects on the proliferation of SHEDs on both the standard surface (plastic of the culture plate) and on nanostructured PLA scaffolds.
