Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O influxo celular (IC) à sinÃvia participa na fisiopatologia da artrite reumatÃide (AR). Hà controvÃrsias sobre o papel do Ãxido nÃtrico (NO) na modulaÃÃo do influxo de neutrÃfilos para sÃtios inflamatÃrios, seja reduzindo ou estimulando-o. Esse trabalho investigou o efeito de inibidores de Ãxido nÃtrico sintase (NOS) sobre o IC agudo em animais submetidos à artrite ou peritonite induzida por zymosan (AZy ou PZy) ou lipopolissacarÃdeo (ALPS ou PLPS), bem como a participaÃÃo de leucotrieno B4 (LTB4) e da molÃcula de adesÃo intercelular -1 (ICAM-1). Ratos Wistar receberam 10-1000 micrograma de Zy ou 1-10 micrograma de LPS intra-articular (i.a.). Outros grupos receberam 1 mg de Zy ou 10 Âg de LPS intraperitoneal (i.p.). Camundongos selvagens ou geneticamente manipulados (knock out) para ICAM-1 (ICAM-1-/-) receberam 100 Âg de Zy i.a. ou i.p. Esquema dos prÃ-tratamentos (30 minutos antes da artrite ou peritonite): na AZy, L-NAME (1-30 mg/kg; i.p. ou 0,3-1 micromol; i.a), 1400W (1 mg/kg; i.p.) ou Aminoguanidina (Amino) (50 mg/kg; i.p.) em ratos e camundongos receberam L-NAME (3-10 mg/kg;i.p.) ou NG-nitro-L-arginia (Nitro) (50 mg/kg; i.p.). Na PZy, L-NAME (10-30 mg/kg; s.c. ou i.p.) ou 1400W (1 mg/kg; s.c.) foi administrado em ratos e camundongos receberam L-NAME (30 mg/kg; s.c.) ou Nitro (50 mg/kg; s.c.). Na ALPS, ratos receberam L-NAME (10-30 mg/kg; i.p) e, na PLPS, L-NAME (30 mg/kg; s.c.). Controles receberam veÃculo (grupos NT). ApÃs o sacrifÃcio, foram quantificados o IC e LTB4 nos lavados articulares e peritoneais. Na AZy (10-100 micrograma) em ratos, L-NAME (1-3 mg) reduziu o IC (47,4 - 76,6%), quando comparado aos animais NT (p<0,05). Na AZy 1mg, L-NAME (30 mg), 1400W (1 mg) e Amino (50 mg) diminuÃram o IC (57,4%, 74,8% e 76,6%) (p<0,05). L-NAME (0,3 micromol) i.a. tambÃm reduziu o IC (85,3%) (p<0,05). Semelhante aos ratos, camundongos prÃ-tratados com L-NAME (3-10 mg) ou Nitro (50 mg) apresentaram diminuiÃÃo do IC (67,6%, 53,8% e 39,5%) (p<0,05). Contrariamente, na PZy, L-NAME (10-30 mg) e 1400W (1 mg) aumentaram o IC (566,7%, 495,1% e 470,7%) em ratos e L-NAME (30 mg), em camundongos (155,8%) (p<0,05). Nesses, Nitro aumentou o IC, mas nÃo significativamente (p>0,05). L-NAME (10 mg) i.p. tambÃm aumentou o IC (747,6%) (p<0,05). Na ALPS, L-NAME (30 mg) diminuiu o IC nas duas doses de LPS (50,3% e 52,3%) (p<0,05). Na PLPS, L-NAME (30 mg) aumentou o IC (53,4%) (p<0,05). Os inibidores de NOS nÃo alteraram os nÃveis de LTB4. Animais ICAM-1-/- artrÃticos prÃ-tratados ou nÃo com Nitro apresentaram reduÃÃo do IC (57,8% ou 32,1%)(p<0,05). Nos ICAM-1-/- com peritonite prÃ-tratados ou nÃo com Nitro, houve uma reduÃÃo do IC (9,5% e 22,3%), mas nÃo significativa (p>0,05). O NO, particularmente o produzido pela NOSi, reduz o IC agudo na articulaÃÃo, enquanto que o incrementa no peritÃneo. Esse efeito à independente do estÃmulo, da espÃcie, da via de administraÃÃo e da liberaÃÃo de LTB4, alÃm de envolver cÃlulas residentes e/ou migradas. ICAM-1 parece participar do IC nesses modelos, especialmente na artrite, com o NO modulando sua expressÃo na peritonite. / Cell influx (CI) to synovium participates in physiopathology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There are controversies about the nitric oxide (NO) action in modulation of neutrophil influx to inflammatory sites, with NO decreasing or increasing it. This study investigated the effect of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors on acute CI in animals submitted to arthritis or peritonitis induced by zymosan (ZyA or ZyP) or lipopolysaccharide (LPSA or LPSP), and the participation of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and intercellular adhesion molecule -1 (ICAM-1). Rats Wistar received Zy (10-1000 micrograme) or LPS (1-10 micrograme) intraarticular (i.a.). Other groups received Zy (1 mg) or LPS (10 Âg) intraperitoneal (i.p.). Wild or ICAM-1-deficient (ICAM-1-/-) mice received Zy (100 Âg) i.a. or i.p. Animals were pre-treated (30 minutes before arthritis or peritonitis): in ZyA, rats received L-NAME (1-30 mg/kg; i.p. or 0.3-1 micromol; i.a), 1400W (1 mg/kg; i.p.) or Aminoguanidine (Amino) (50 mg/kg; i.p.). Mice received L-NAME (3-10 mg/kg;i.p.) or NG-nitro-L-arginine (Nitro) (50 mg/kg; i.p.). In ZyP, L-NAME (10-30 mg/kg; s.c. or i.p.) or 1400W (1 mg/kg; s.c.) was administrated in rats and mice received L-NAME (30 mg/kg; s.c.) or Nitro (50 mg/kg; s.c.). In LPSA, rats received L-NAME (10-30 mg/kg; i.p) and, in LPSP, they received L-NAME (30 mg/kg; s.c.). Controls received vehicle (NT groups). After sacrifice, CI was counted and LTB4 was measured in articular and peritoneal exudates. In ZyA (10-100 Âg), L-NAME (1-3 mg) reduced CI (47.4 â 76.6%) as compared to NT animals (p<0.05). In ZyA (1mg), L-NAME (30 mg), 1400W (1mg) and Amino (50 mg) reduced CI (57.4%, 74.8% and 76.6%, respectively) (p<0.05). L-NAME (0.3 Âmol) i.a. also reduced CI (85.3%) (p<0.05). Similarly, L-NAME (3-10 mg) or Nitro (50 mg) pre-treated mice showed a CI reduction (67.6%, 53.8% and 39.5%) (p<0.05). In contrast, in ZyP, L-NAME (10-30 mg) and 1400W (1 mg) increased CI (566.7%, 495.1% and 470.7%, respectively) in rats and L-NAME (30 mg) in mice (155.8%) (p<0.05). In mice, Nitro increased CI, but not significantly (p>0.05). L-NAME (10 mg) i.p. also increased CI (747.6%) (p<0.05). In LPSA, L-NAME (30 mg) decreased CI in two LPS doses (50.3% and 52.3%) (p<0.05). In LPSP, L-NAME (30 mg) increased the influx (53.4%) (p<0.05). NOS inhibitors didnât change LTB4 levels. Arthritic pre-treated or not with Nitro ICAM-1-/- animals showed a CI reduction (57.8% or 32.1%)(p<0.05). In peritonitis, pre-treated or not with Nitro ICAM-1-/- showed a CI reduction (9.5% and 22.3%), but not significantly (p>0.05). NO, especially that produced by iNOS, reduces the acute CI in articulation while increases it in the peritoneum. This effect is independent of stimulus, species, route of administration and LTB4 liberation. Beyond, it involves resident and/or migrated cells. ICAM-1 appears to participate in CI in these models, especially in arthritis. Besides, NO modulates the expression of ICAM-1 in peritonitis.
