La néoglucogenèse rénale : un nouvel aspect dans la restriction de croissance intra-utérine chez le rat

Khoury, Etienne 06 1900 (has links)
Bien que l’environnement intra-utérin défavorable soit associé à des conditions pathologiques à l’âge adulte, les mécanismes mis en place in utero ne sont pas encore élucidés. Nous avons établi un modèle de restriction de croissance intra-utérine (RCIU) en donnant une diète faible en sodium à la rate pendant la dernière semaine de gestation. Ce modèle se caractérise par une diminution de perfusion placentaire et une redistribution du flot sanguin, favorisant l’irrigation des organes nobles (cœur et cerveau) au détriment du rein fœtal. De plus, l’expression rénale du facteur de croissance endothéliale vasculaire (VEGF) est diminuée chez le fœtus. L’hypothèse de travail est que la néoglucogenèse hépatique et rénale augmente chez les fœtus RCIU afin de compenser la diminution de perfusion placentaire, et que l’expression rénale des récepteurs de VEGF (Flt-1 et Flk-1) est altérée à la suite de la redistribution du flot sanguin. Nos objectifs étaient de comparer l’expression protéique des enzymes de la néoglucogenèse et des récepteurs de VEGF entre les fœtus témoins et RCIU. L’aldolase B, la fructose-1,6-biphosphatase et la glucose-6-phosphatase augmentent dans les reins de fœtus RCIU par rapport aux témoins alors qu’aucun changement n’est observé dans le foie. De plus, l’expression de ces enzymes est différente selon le sexe du fœtus. Une diminution de Flt-1 est notée dans les reins de fœtus RCIU. Nos résultats démontrent que des adaptations surviennent chez le fœtus à la suite d’une insulte intra-utérine favorisant sa survie mais ayant des conséquences telles que la dysfonction rénale observée chez les adultes de ce modèle animal. À long terme, ces travaux pourront permettre d’entrevoir des avenues pour mieux identifier les approches de prévention lors de naissance à la suite d’une RCIU. / An adverse intrauterine environment is associated with several pathological conditions at adult age, however, the mechanisms underlying such a link remain to be elucidated. Feeding a low-sodium diet to dams during the last week of gestation consistently resulted in giving birth to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) offsprings. The present model is characterized by a reduced placental perfusion and a redistribution of a preferential blood flow to the brain and heart at the expense of the kidney. Moreover, renal expression of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is decreased in the IUGR fetuses. In this view, we hypothesize that the hepatic and renal gluconeogenesis is increased in the IUGR fetus in order to compensate the diminished placental perfusion, and the renal expression of VEGF receptors (Flt-1 and Flk-1) is altered in response to the redistribution of the blood flow. The specific aim of this study was to compare the protein expression of gluconeogenic enzymes and VEGF receptors between IUGR and control fetuses. Aldolase B, fructose-1,6- biphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase were significantly increased in the IUGR fetal kidneys compared to controls. However, gluconeogenic enzymes did not show any significant change in the IUGR liver. The fetal sex had an impact on the enzymes expression. A decreased expression of Flt-1 was also noted in the kidneys of the IUGR fetuses. Our results pointed out alterations in the fetal life that may be, in a way, essentiel for the survival of the fetus, but somehow, responsible for many pathological consequences at adult age, as the renal dysfunction observed in the present model. For the long term, this work may lead to many future perspectives helping to prevent several diseases, such as hypertension or diabetes for an IUGR case.

Avaliação de fatores angiogênicos e antiangiogênicos em pacientes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico / Evaluation of angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Guilherme Ribeiro Ramires de Jesús 26 June 2014 (has links)
O lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) é uma doença autoimune cuja fisiopatologia envolve mecanismos imunológicos, incluindo distúrbios nos processos de morte celular e nos mecanismos de eliminação de autoantígenos e de tolerância, acompanhados da formação de autoanticorpos patogênicos. Ele acomete principalmente mulheres jovens e a gestação nestas pacientes apresenta significativa morbimortalidade. Os achados clínicos e laboratoriais na nefrite lúpica são semelhantes àqueles encontrados em pacientes com pré-eclâmpsia (PE), especificamente hipertensão arterial, proteinúria e edema. Foi proposto o uso de fatores angiogênicos, como o fator de crescimento vascular endotelial (VEGF) e o fator de crescimento placentário (PlGF), e antiangiogênicos, como o receptor Fms-like tirosina quinase 1 solúvel (sFlt-1), para o diagnóstico diferencial entre estas duas condições, no entanto os dados disponíveis na literatura sobre estas citocinas em pacientes não gestantes com LES são inconsistentes. Este estudo foi desenhado para avaliar se existe diferença entre os níveis séricos de VEGF, PlGF e sFlt-1 em pacientes com LES com e sem atividade sistêmica da doença e se existe diferença nesses fatores quando comparamos pacientes com LES e mulheres saudáveis. Foram incluídas 54 mulheres com diagnóstico de LES em acompanhamento no ambulatório de Reumatologia do HUPE-UERJ, sem outra doença autoimune diagnosticada, e divididas de acordo com a atividade da doença. 30 pacientes tinham doença inativa (SLEDAI médio: 0,7) e 24 tinham doença ativa (SLEDAI médio: 11,6). 23 mulheres deste último grupo possuíam nefrite ativa, enquanto 20 das pacientes com doença em remissão já haviam apresentado nefrite ao longo da evolução do LES. O grupo controle foi formado por 34 mulheres hígidas atendidas no ambulatório de ginecologia da Policlínica Piquet Carneiro-UERJ. Considerando as três citocinas estudadas, as pacientes com LES apresentaram valores séricos médios superiores às mulheres do grupo controle (VEGF: 319,0 + 226,0 x 206,2 + 119,4, p=0,02; PlGF: 42,2 + 54,1 x 13,6 + 21,6, p=0,02; sFlt-1: 107,9 + 49,2 x 70,2 + 95,0, p=0,01). O grupo de pacientes com doença ativa também apresentou média superior ao controle nos três fatores (VEGF: 331,0 + 216,8 x 206,2 + 119,4, p=0,02; PlGF: 41,2 + 47,3 x 13,6 + 21,6, p=0,02; sFlt-1: 120,5 + 42,4 x 70,2 + 95,0, p=0,02), enquanto não foi encontrada diferença estatística entre o grupo de LES inativo e o controle. A média do sFlt-1 sérico foi maior nas pacientes com LES ativo do que a média das pacientes com a doença em remissão (120,5 + 54,9 x 97,8 + 42,4, p=0,02), mas não houve diferença significativa da média do VEGF e PlGF séricos entre os dois grupos. O melhor entendimento dos fatores angiogênicos e antiangiogênicos em pacientes com LES proporcionado por este estudo nos permite a análise dessas citocinas em gestantes com LES e, possivelmente, sua posterior aplicação como método diferencial entre nefrite lúpica e PE. / Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which pathophysiology involves immunological mechanisms including disturbances in the processes of cell death and mechanisms of elimination of autoantigens and tolerance, accompanied by formation of pathogenic autoantibodies. It mainly affects young women and pregnancy in these patients have significant morbidity and mortality. Clinical and laboratory findings in lupus nephritis are similar to those found in patients with preeclampsia (PE), specifically hypertension, proteinuria and edema. It has been proposed the use of angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PlGF), and antiangiogenic factors, as soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), for the differential diagnosis between these two conditions, however available data in the literature about these cytokines in non-pregnant SLE patients are inconsistent. This study was designed to evaluate whether there are differences between serum levels of VEGF, PlGF and sFlt-1 in SLE patients with and without systemic disease activity and whether there are differences in these factors when comparing SLE patients with healthy women. 54 women with SLE followed at outpatient clinic of Rheumatology HUPE - UERJ were included. They had no other autoimmune disease diagnosed and were divided according to disease activity. 30 patients had inactive disease (mean SLEDAI: 0.7), and 24 had active disease (mean SLEDAI: 11.6). 23 women in this latter group had active nephritis, while 20 patients with inactive disease had history of lupus nephritis. The control group consisted of 34 healthy women who attended the Gynecology outpatient clinic at Policlínica Piquet Carneiro - UERJ. Considering the three studied cytokines, the SLE patients had higher mean serum levels than the control group (VEGF: 319.0 + 226.0 x 206.2 + 119.4, p=0.02; PlGF: 42.2 + 54.1 x 13.6 + 21.6, p=0.02; sFlt-1: 107.9 + 49.2 x 70.2 + 95.0, p=0.01). The group of patients with active disease also had higher mean levels of all three factors than controls (VEGF: 331.0 + 216.8 x 206.2 + 119.4, p=0.02; PlGF: 41.2 + 47.3 x 13.6 + 21.6, p=0.02; sFlt-1: 120.5 + 42.4 x 70.2 + 95.0, p=0.02), whereas no statistical difference was found between the group with inactive SLE and the control group. The mean sFlt-1 levels were higher in patients with active SLE than the mean levels of patients with inactive disease (120.5 + 54.9 x 97.8 + 42.4, p=0.02), but there was no significant difference in mean serum of VEGF and PlGF levels between these two groups. A better understanding of angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors in patients with SLE provided by this study allows the analysis of these cytokines in pregnant woman with SLE and possibly their subsequent application as differential method between PE and lupus nephritis.

Identificação da expressão do vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pela contagem de células marcadas imunoistoquimicamente no omento de ratos após ligadura arterial e após ligadura venosa

Zart, Ronald Paulo Pinto January 2007 (has links)
O sistema cardiovascular está estrutural e funcionalmente disposto de modo “circular”. Situações de obstrução do fluxo sanguíneo determinam o aparecimento de mecanismos que visam suplantar tais interrupções e manter a circularidade íntegra. À nível molecular, o principal elemento envolvido nestes mecanismos é o Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). A expressão do VEGF quando há oclusão arterial está bem documentada, faltando elementos com relação à oclusão venosa. Neste estudo objetivamos verificar se a oclusão à nível arterial determina uma expressão do VEGF diferente daquela que ocorre se a oclusão acontecer à nível venoso. Para isso randomizamos dois grupos de ratos de experimentação. Em um grupo realizamos a oclusão da aorta infra-renal e em outro a oclusão da veia cava infra-renal. Posteriormente medimos a expressão do VEGF através da contagem do número de células marcadas imunoistoquimicamente no omento destes ratos. O resultado demonstrou que a expressão do VEGF, quando analisada pelo método proposto foi igual no grupo da oclusão venosa e no grupo da oclusão arterial. / The cardiovascular system is structurally and functionally circular. Situations in which there is obstruction to blood flow trigger mechanisms to bypass these blockages and maintenance the integrity of the circularity. At the molecular level the main factor involved is the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). The VEGF expression associated with arterial occlusion is well documented but is lacking evidence when venous occlusion occurs. This study aimed to verify if the expression of VEGF when an occlusion occurs at venous level is the same or different from that caused at the arterial level. Two groups of rats were randomized by infra-renal aortic occlusion or inferior vena cava occlusion. VEGF was measured by counting the immunohistochemistry method marked cells at the omentum level. It was demonstrated that the VEGF expression is the same in the venous group obstruction as the arterial obstruction group.

No. of bitstreams: 1 RoseaneCV_DISSERT.pdf: 1364911 bytes, checksum: 1503d99f23893ef62ce15add6f41141c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-02-28 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / Periodontal disease is a complex inflammatory and infectious condition that immune host, front of the microbial aggressions, can lead to disease progression, resulting in tissue destruction. The tissue damage induces the release of regulatory molecules, which protective roles and / or destructive, including proteins VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor vascular) and HIF-1 ? (hypoxia-induced factor ? -1). Thus, this study investigated, quantitatively and comparatively, the immunohistochemical expression of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and HIF-1 ? (hypoxia induced factor 1-?), proteins involved in inflammation, angiogenesis and hypoxia, in human gingival tissues. Therefore, 75 samples of gingival tissues were examined. Thirty samples were chronic periodontitis, 30 with chronic gingivitis and 15 healthy gingival. After sections analysis, positives and negatives inflammatory and endothelial cells in the connective tissue were counted and converted into percentage. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman correlation. The results showed that both proteins marked. It was observed higher immunoreactivity for HIF-1 ? at chronic gingivitis and periodontitis specimens compared to healthy sites, however, no statistically significant differences were observed among them (p>0.05). The VEGF immunostaining showed similarity among the cases of periodontitis, gingivitis and healthy gingiva. Moderate and positive correlation statistically significant differences were verified for the expressions of VEGF and HIF-1? in gingival health (r = 0,529, p = 0.04). Thus, it can be conclude that possibly the route of HIF-1 ?, is activated in periodontal disease may have involvement of the protein in pathogenesis and progression of disease, and that activation of VEGF, can be in addition to being triggered transcription by HIF-1 ? may be also influenced by other additional factors such as the action of periodontal microorganisms endotoxins / A doen?a periodontal ? uma condi??o infecciosa e inflamat?ria complexa em que a resposta imune do hospedeiro, frente aos produtos microbianos, pode conduzir ? progress?o da doen?a. A agress?o tecidual induz a libera??o de mol?culas reguladoras, que desempenham pap?is protetores e/ou destrutivos, incluindo as prote?nas VEGF (Fator de crescimento endotelial vascular) e o HIF-1 ? (Fator induzido por hip?xia -1 ?). Diante disso, este estudo buscou analisar, de forma quantitativa e comparativa, a express?o imuno-histoqu?mica destas prote?nas, envolvidas nos processos de angiog?nese e hip?xia, observadas em condi??es inflamat?rias. Para tanto, 75 amostras de tecidos gengivais foram examinadas. Destas, 30 foram de periodontite cr?nica, 30 de gengivite cr?nica e 15 de gengivais saud?veis. Foram contadas, as c?lulas inflamat?rias e endoteliais, positivas e negativas, no tecido conjuntivo fibroso, e posteriormente, convertidas em porcentagem. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente por meio do teste de Kruskal-Wallis e Correla??o de Spearman. Os resultados mostraram imunoexpress?o para ambas as prote?nas. Foi observada, uma elevada imunoexpress?o para HIF-1 ?, nos esp?cimes de periodontite e gengivites cr?nicas, em rela??o aos s?tios saud?veis, por?m, sem diferen?as estat?sticas entre elas (p>0,05). A imunoexpress?o do VEGF demonstrou similaridade, entre os casos de periodontite, gengivite e gengiva saud?vel. Correla??o positiva moderada e diferen?a estatisticamente significativa foram verificadas para as express?es do VEGF e HIF-1?, em gengivais saud?veis (r=0.529; p= 0.04). Desta forma, pode-se concluir que, possivelmente a via de ativa??o do HIF-1 ?, est? ativada na doen?a periodontal, podendo haver participa??o desta prote?na, na patog?nese e progress?o da doen?a periodontal e que a ativa??o do VEGF, al?m de ser desencadeada via transcri??o do HIF-1 ?, pode ser tamb?m, influenciada por outros fatores adicionais, como, por exemplo, a??o das endotoxinas bacterianas periodontopatog?nicas
