Redução da Incidência de Citomegalovírus no esquema Sirolimo associado à Tacrolimo em paciente idoso transplantado renal. Tese (Doutorado). Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu. Universidade Estadual Paulista, 2018. Introdução: O transplante renal é considerado uma opção de terapia renal substitutiva segura para pacientes acima de 60 anos, entretanto, não há consenso sobre o melhor esquema imunossupressor para o paciente transplantado renal idoso. Objetivo: Avaliar a incidência de infecção por citomegalovírus na combinação de tacrolimo e sirolimo em doses reduzidas comparada com a associação tacrolimo e micofenolato. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo randomizado de centro único comparando a combinação de tacrolimo e sirolimo em dose reduzida (grupo sirolimo) contra tacrolimo e micofenolato (grupo micofenolato). Foram incluídos todos os pacientes transplantados renais maiores de 60 anos. Foram avaliadas a incidência de infecção por citomegalovírus (CMV), a sobrevida do paciente e enxerto, taxas de rejeição e função renal em 12 meses de seguimento. Resultados: Foram randomizados 46 pacientes e analisados 44 casos (dois casos excluídos por não terem sido transplantados). As características basais dos grupos foram semelhantes sendo todos os casos transplantados com doador falecido e a maioria induzida com basiliximab. O grupo micofenolato (n=23) e o grupo sirolimo (n=21) apresentaram sobrevida do paciente e enxerto censurado óbito respectivamente de 95,7% e 100% para o micofenolato e 87,3% e 90,5% para o sirolimo sem diferenças estatísticas. A infecção por CMV ocorreu em 60,9% no grupo micofenolato e 16,7% no grupo sirolimo apresentando um risco relativo 3,54 [1,2 – 10,3] vezes maior no grupo micofenolato, p=0,004. A incidência de rejeição e função renal ao longo de 12 meses foi semelhante entre os grupos. A infecção de ferida operatória, retardo de função do enxerto e proteinúria foram semelhantes entre os grupos. O colesterol total e HDL colesterol foram maiores no grupo sirolimo. Conclusão: No grupo de transplantados renais idosos a combinação de tacrolimo e sirolimo em doses reduzidas resultou na redução de 40% da incidência de infecção por CMV. A função renal em 12 meses, taxa de rejeição e sobrevida do enxerto e paciente foram semelhantes. / ABSTRACT Bruder R. Reduced incidence of cytomegalovirus in the Sirolimus associated with tacrolimus in elderly kidney transplant patient. Tese (Doutorado). Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu. Universidade Estadual Paulista, 2018. Introduction: Renal transplantation is considered safe for patients over 60 years, however, there is no consensus on the best immunosuppressive regimen in elderly. Objective: To evaluate the incidence of cytomegalovirus infection in the combination of tacrolimus and sirolimus in reduced doses compared to the combination tacrolimus and mycophenolate. Methods: A single-center prospective randomized study comparing the combination of tacrolimo and sirolimo in reduced dose (sirolimo group) against tacrolimo and mycophenolate (mycophenolate group). We included all kidney transplant patients over 60 years of age. The incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, patient survival and graft, rejection rates and renal function were evaluated at 12 months of follow-up. Results: 46 patients were randomized and we analyzed 44 cases (two cases excluded because they were not transplanted). Baseline characteristics were similar between groups, all patients were transplanted with deceased donor, and the majority were induced with basiliximab. Mycophenolate group (n = 23) and sirolimo group (n = 21) had patient survival, and death censored graft survival respectively 95.7% and 100% for mycophenolate and 87,3% e 90,5% for the sirolimo without statistical differences. The incidence of CMV infection occurred in 60.9% and 16.7% in mycophenolate and sirolimo group respectively. The relative risk of CMV were 3.54 [1, 2 - 10.3] times greater in mycophenolate group, p=0.004. The incidence of acute rejection and kidney function over 12 months was similar between the groups. Infection of the surgical wound, delayed graft function and proteinuria were similar between groups. The total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol were higher in the sirolimo group. Conclusion: In the elderly renal transplant group, the combination of tacrolimus and sirolimus at reduced doses resulted in a 40% reduction in the incidence of CMV infection. Renal function at 12 months, rejection rate and graft and patient survival were similar.

Les métastases hépatiques de tumeurs endocrines digestives sont hypervasculaires et hétérogènes. Les mécanismes de développement de ces métastases hépatiques, en particulier le rôle de l’angiogenèse tumorale associée à ces tumeurs, sont complexes. Ceci explique la difficulté de prédire le profil évolutif de ces tumeurs et de trouver des facteurs prédictifs de réponses aux traitements médicaux utilisés. L’objectif de notre travail a été de mieux comprendre : le rôle de l’angiogenèse dans le développement des métastases hépatiques de tumeurs endocrines digestives ; les mécanismes d’actions et en particulier leur activité anti-angiogénique, de deux types de molécules (analogue de la somatostatine et inhibiteur de mTOR). Nos résultats nous ont permis à travers une double approche expérimentale, in vitro et in vivo de : (a) montrer la complexité de la régulation de la synthèse et de la sécrétion du VEGF par les cellules endocrines néoplasiques ; (b) confirmer expérimentalement la dissociation entre expression du VEGF et capacités angiogéniques d’une part, propriétés invasives et métastatiques d’autre part, dans les tumeurs endocrines digestives ; (c) montrer expérimentalement que l’inhibition de l’angiogenèse peut contribuer à l’effet anti-tumoral de substances d’intérêt thérapeutique dans les tumeurs endocrines digestives / Liver metastases of digestive endocrine tumors are hypervascular and heterogeneous. The mechanisms of development of these metastases, especially the role of angiogenesis, are complex. This explains the difficulty to predict the natural history of these tumors and to find predictive factors of response to medical treatments. Our aim was to evaluate: the role of angiogenesis in the development of liver metastasis from digestive endocrine tumors; mechanisms of action, especially antiangiogenic activity, of two drugs (somatostatin analogues and mTOR inhibitor). We were able to demonstrate through an in vitro and in vivo experimental approach that: (a) the regulation of VEGF synthesis and secretion is complex, with different roles according to the cell studied; (b) there is a dissociation between VEGF expression and angiogenic capacities, on one hand, and invasive and metastatic properties, on the other hand; (c) the inhibition of angiogenesis may contribute to the anti-tumoral effect of several drugs of therapeutic interest in digestive endocrine tumors

Bien que rares, les tumeurs endocrines développées chez l'Homme demeurent problèmatiques. Une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes qui régulent leur croissance constitue un objectif essentiel pour identifier des cibles thérapeutiques nouvelles.Dans la première partie de cette thèse, nous avons étudié l'impact du microenvironnement tumoral (MeT), définit par l'ensemble des facteurs qui encerclent la niche tumorale primitive, sur la croissance des tumeurs endocrines digestives. In vitro, nous observons un effet prolifératif réciproque entre des fibroblastes, l'une des cellules pivots du MeT, et des lignées cellulaires humaines de tumeurs endocrines pancréatiques, tel qu'il est susceptible d'exister in situ. Dans une seconde partie, nous avons montré que le pegvisomant, un antagoniste du récepteur de l'hormone de croissance utilisé chez des patients atteint d'adénome hypophysaire somatotrope, n'a pas d'effet prolifératif in vitro sur les cellules somatotropes adénomateuses. / Although rare, endocrine tumors developed in Humans remain problematic, such as a better understanding of their regulatory mechanisms of growth represent a step forward to identify new therapeutical targets.In the first part of this thesis, we investigated the impact of the tumor microenvironment (TME), as defined by the factors surrounding the tumor primitive niche, on the growth of human digestive endocrine tumors. We, here, showed the occurrence of a reciprocal proliferation between human fibroblasts, a key cell within the TME, and human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cell lines, suggesting that human fibroblasts may constitue a new therapeutical target of interest in the TME of digestive endocrine tumors. In a second part, we showed that pegvisomant (PEG), a growth hormone receptor antagonist currently used in patients with GH-secreting pituitary adenoma, did not impact in vitro the proliferation rate of GH-secreting adenoma cells and therefore is suitable in patients with a persisting GH-secreting pituitary adenoma residue after surgery.
