No. of bitstreams: 1 TeseCSS.pdf: 4525514 bytes, checksum: 85160aac636e59d1fffa7a6f9f399c54 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-02-12 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / In this study, we aimed at investigating the involvement of the warmth-sensitive channel – TRPV4 (in vitro sensitive to temperatures in the range of approx. 24–34°C) – on the thermoregulatory mechanisms in rats. We treated rats with a chemical selective antagonist (HC-067047) of the TRPV4 channel and measured core body temperature, metabolism, heat loss index and preferred ambient temperature. The behavioral mechanism was also assessed after treatment with topical agonist (RN-1747). Our data revealed that intravenous blockade of this channel with HC-067047 caused an increase in core body temperature at ambient temperature of 26 and 30°C, but not at 22 and 32°C. At 26°C, HC-067047-induced hyperthermia was accompanied by increase in oxygen consumption (an index of thermogenesis). Furthermore, rats chemically stimulated with TRPV4 agonist choose colder ambient temperatures and the cold-seeking behaviour after thermal stimulation (28–31°C) was inhibited by TRPV4 antagonist. Our results suggest, for the first time, that TRPV4 channel is involved in the recruitment of behavioural and autonomic warmth-defence responses to regulate core body temperature. / Neste estudo, foi investigado o envolvimento dos canais sensíveis ao calor – TRPV4 (in vitro, sensíveis a uma faixa de temperatura aproximadamente entre 24 e 34°C) – nos mecanismos termorreguladores de ratos. Para tal, os animais foram tratados com antagonista químico seletivo (HC-067047) do canal TRPV4 e a temperatura corporal, o metabolismo, o índice de perda de calor e a temperatura ambiente de preferência foram medidos. O mecanismo comportamental também foi estudado após a aplicação do agonista tópico RN1747. Nossos dados revelam que o bloqueio intravenoso deste canal com HC-067047 causou um aumento na temperatura corporal nas temperaturas ambientes de 26 e 30°C, mas não a 22 nem a 32°C. A 26°C, a hipertermia induzida pelo tratamento com HC-067047 foi acompanhada por um aumento no consumo de oxigênio (um índice da termogênese). Além disso, ratos quimicamente estimulados com o agonista RN1747 escolheram temperaturas ambientes mais frias e o comportamento de busca pelo frio após estimulação térmica (28-31°C) foi inibido pelo antagonista do canal. Os resultados sugerem, pela primeira vez, que o canal TRPV4 está envolvido no recrutamento de respostas autonômicas e comportamentais de defesa ao calor. / FAPESP: 2011/19131-2
