Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / IntroduÃÃo: A mucosite induzida por antineoplÃsicos à um fator limitante na terapia anticÃncer. O trato gastrintestinal à vulnerÃvel por causa da alta proliferaÃÃo e frequÃncia de renovaÃÃo celular. Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) à uma levedura probiÃtica que à utilizado para proteger a microflora gastrintestinal do desequilÃbrio e de distÃrbios gastrintestinais associados. Objetivos: Avaliar o efeito do tratamento com SB na resposta inflamatÃria e nas alteraÃÃes da motilidade digestiva no curso da mucosite intestinal experimental induzida por 5-FU. MÃtodos: Camundongos machos Swiss (25-30g) foram tratados com 5-FU (450mg/Kg, i.p.) ou com soluÃÃo salina (controle). Outros grupos receberam durante 3 ou 6 dias SB (800mg/Kg, gavagem) atà o dia do sacrifÃcio, diariamente. Um grupo prÃ-tratado recebeu o SB por 3 dias antes e 3 dias depois da administraÃÃo do 5-FU (SB 6D) e outro grupo recebeu SB somente 3 dias apÃs a administraÃÃo do 5-FU (SB 3D). No 3 dia apÃs o 5-FU ou 5-FU+SB (3D ou 6D), os animais foram sacrificados, amostras de jejuno e Ãleo foram retiradas para avaliar a injÃria epitelial por morfometria, escores histolÃgicos, atividade de MPO, nÃveis de nitrito e concentraÃÃo de GSH. Para avaliaÃÃo de citocinas pelo mÃtodo de ELISA foi determinada a concentraÃÃo de IL-1β e CXCL1. Jà na tÃcnica de esvaziamento gÃstrico os animais receberam o mesmo tratamento descrito anteriormente. Posteriormente, foram deixados em jejum de 18 horas. No 7 dia foram administrados 0,3 ml da soluÃÃo glicosada (5%) contendo vermelho de fenol (VF) a 0,75 mg/ml em cada animal. ApÃs 20 min, os animais foram sacrificados e submetidos a uma laparotomia mediana. O intestino delgado foi exposto e divido em 3 partes iguais: proximal, medial e distal. Com o auxÃlio de uma proveta contendo uma soluÃÃo de NaOH (100ml, 0,1N) o volume do estÃmago e dos segmentos do intestino delgado foram determinados. A absorbÃncia da amostra foi lida à 540nm. Resultados: O tratamento com 5-FU foi capaz de induzir uma lesÃo intestinal com um importante comprometimento da barreira epitelial funcional com a presenÃa das seguintes alteraÃÃes: encurtamento acentuado das vilosidades intestinais, necrose parcial de criptas, vacuolizaÃÃo de cÃlulas, presenÃa de infiltrado de polimorfonucleares, produÃÃo de radicais livres com consumo de GSH, aumento dos nÃveis de nitrito, aumento na concentraÃÃo de IL-1β e CXCL1 e alteraÃÃes na motilidade digestiva. O tratamento com SB reduziu significativamente as lesÃes intestinais, com recuperaÃÃo da altura dos vilos, recuperaÃÃo da profundidade das criptas, diminuiÃÃo do infiltrado neutrofÃlico e dos nÃveis de nitrito, aumento dos nÃveis de glutationa e reduÃÃo da concentraÃÃo de IL-1β e CXCL1. Contudo, o tratamento com SB foi capaz de reverter o retarde do esvaziamento gÃstrico e do transito gastrintestinal. ConclusÃo: 5-FU induz mucosite intestinal em camundongos com a participaÃÃo de IL-1β e CXCL1, a qual se associa com retarde no esvaziamento gÃstrico e no transito gastrintestinal. O tratamento com SB foi capaz de reverter os achados inflamatÃrios e as alteraÃÃes na motilidade digestiva associadas à mucosite por 5- FU em camundongos. / Introduction: Intestinal mucositis is a frequent side-effect associated to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) clinical use and results in inflammatory events. It is characterized by epithelial ulcerations in the mucosa and clinical manifestations of abdominal pain, nauseas and diarrhea. Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast which has been shown to protect the gastrointestinal microflora from disequilibrium and from associated gastrointestinal disorders. Aim: To evaluate the effect of treatment with Saccharomyces boulardii in inflammatory response and alterations in the gastrintestinal motility in the course of intestinal mucositis experimental induced by 5-FU. Methods: Swiss male mice (25-30g) were treated with 5-FU (450mg/Kg, ip) or saline (control). Other groups received 3 or 6 days during SB (800mg/Kg, gavage) until the day of sacrifice, every day. A group pretreated received the SB for 3 days before and 3 days after administration of 5-FU (SB 6D) and another group received SB only 3 days after administration of 5-FU (SB 3D). At day 3 after 5-FU, the animals were sacrificed, samples of jejunum and ileum were collected to assess the injury epithelial morphometry, histological scores, the activity of MPO, nitrite levels and the concentration of GSH. For evaluation of cytokine samples of jejunum and ileum were removed and the ELISA was determined concentrations of IL-1β and CXCL1. In the technique of gastric emptying, the animals received the same treatment described above. Later, they were left to fast for 18 hours from d6 to d7. At d7, were administered 0.3 ml of glucose solution (5%) containing phenol red (VF) to 0.75 mg / ml in each animal. After 20 min, the animals were sacrificed and underwent a laparotomy. The small intestine was exposed and divided into 3 equal parts: proximal, medial and distal. With the aid of a beaker containing a solution of NaOH (100ml, 0.1 N) the volume of the stomach and small intestine segments were determined. The sample absorbance was read in a wavelength of 540 nm. Results: Treatment with 5-FU was able to induce intestinal injury with a significant impairment of epithelial barrier function in the presence of the following changes: severe shortening of the villus, crypts of partial necrosis, vacuolization of cells, infiltration and mono polymorphonuclear free radical production with consumption of GSH, increased levels of nitrite, increased concentration of IL-1β and CXCL1 and changes in gastrointestinal motility. Treatment with SB significantly reduced intestinal damage, with recovery of villous height, crypt depth recovery, decreased neutrophil infiltration and nitrite levels, increased levels of glutathione and reduced concentrations of IL-1β and CXCL1. However, treatment with SB was able to reverse the delayed gastric emptying and gastrointestinal transit. Conclusion: 5-FU induces intestinal mucositis in mice involving IL-1β and CXCL1, which is associated with delayed gastric emptying and gastrointestinal transit in. Treatment with SB, both 3D and 6D, were able to reverse the inflammatory changes, and revert the changes in gastrointestinal motility associated with mucositis by 5 - FU in mice.
