- Stress amplifies lung tissue mechanics, inflammation and oxidative stress induced by chronic inflammation(2012) REIS, Fabiana G.; MARQUES, Ricardo H.; STARLING, Claudia M.; ALMEIDA-REIS, Rafael; VIEIRA, Rodolfo P.; CABIDO, Claudia T.; SILVA, Luiz Fernando F.; LANCAS, Tatiana; DOLHNIKOFF, Marisa; MARTINS, Milton A.; LEICK-MALDONADO, Edna A.; PRADO, CarlaM.; TIBERIO, Iolanda F. L. C.Background: Mechanisms linking behavioral stress and inflammation are poorly understood, mainly in distal lung tissue. Objective: We have investigated whether the forced swim stress (FS) could modulate lung tissue mechanics, iNOS, cytokines, oxidative stress activation, eosinophilic recruitment, and remodeling in guinea pigs (GP) with chronic pulmonary inflammation. Methods: The GP were exposed to ovalbumin or saline aerosols (2x/wk/4wks, OVA, and SAL). Twenty-four hours after the 4th inhalation, the GP were submitted to the FS protocol (5x/wk/2wks, SAL-S, and OVA-S). Seventy-two hours after the 7th inhalation, lung strips were cut and tissue resistance (Rt) and elastance (Et) were obtained (at baseline and after OVA and Ach challenge). Strips were submitted to histopathological evaluation. Results: The adrenals' weight, the serum cortisol, and the catecholamines were measured. There was an increase in IL-2, IL-5, IL-13, IFN-gamma, iNOS, 8-iso-PGF2 alpha, and in %Rt and %Et after Ach challenge in the SAL-S group compared to the SAL one. The OVA-S group has had an increase in %Rt and %Et after the OVA challenge, in %Et after the Ach and in IL-4, 8-iso-PGF2 alpha, and actin compared to the OVA. Adrenal weight and cortisol serum were increased in stressed animals compared to nonstressed ones, and the catecholamines were unaltered. Conclusion & clinical relevance: Repeated stress has increased distal lung constriction, which was associated with an increase of actin, IL-4, and 8-iso-PGF2 alpha levels. Stress has also induced an activation of iNOS, cytokines, and oxidative stress pathways.
conferenceObject Plant proteinase from Bauhinia bauhinioides Kallikrein inhibitor (BbKI) attenuates mechanics, inflammation and remodelling induced by elastase in mice(2012) OLIVEIRA, Bruno Martins; ALMEIDA-REIS, Rafael; THEODORO, Osmar A.; OLIVA, Leandro V.; RODRIGUES, Daniel Flisch; PINHEIRO, Nathalia; OLIVA, Maria L. V.; PRADO, Carla M.; MARTINS, Milton M.; TIBERIO, Iolanda F. L. C.- Inactivation of capsaicin-sensitive nerves reduces pulmonary remodeling in guinea pigs with chronic allergic pulmonary inflammation(2011) PRADO, C. M.; ROCHA, G. Z. da; LEICK-MALDONADO, E. A.; STARLING, C. M.; CAPELOZZI, V. L.; MARTINS, M. A.; TIBERIO, I. F. L. C.Pulmonary remodeling is an important feature of asthma physiopathology that can contribute to irreversible changes in lung function. Although neurokinins influence lung inflammation, their exact role in the extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling remains to be determined. Our objective was to investigate whether inactivation of capsaicin-sensitive nerves modulates pulmonary ECM remodeling in animals with chronic lung inflammation. After 14 days of capsaicin (50 mg/kg, sc) or vehicle administration, male Hartley guinea pigs weighing 250-300 g were submitted to seven inhalations of increasing doses of ovalbumin (1, 2.5, and 5 mg/mL) or saline for 4 weeks. Seventy-two hours after the seventh inhalation, animals were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated and the lung mechanics and collagen and elastic fiber content in the airways, vessels and lung parenchyma were evaluated. Ovalbumin-exposed animals presented increasing collagen and elastic fiber content, respectively, in the airways (9.2 +/- 0.9; 13.8 +/- 1.2), vessels (19.8 +/- 0.8; 13.4 +/- 0.5) and lung parenchyma (18.8 +/- 1.1; 25.31 +/- 1.1) compared to control (P < 0.05). Capsaicin treatment reduced collagen and elastic fibers, respectively, in airways (1.7 +/- 1.1; 7.9 +/- 1.5), vessels (2.8 +/- 1.1; 4.4 +/- 1.1) and lung tissue (12.46 +/- 1.0; 15.05 +/- 1.5) of ovalbumin-exposed animals (P < 0.05). These findings were positively correlated with lung mechanical responses to antigenic challenge (P < 0.05). In conclusion, inactivation of capsaicin-sensitive nerve fibers reduces pulmonary remodeling, particularly collagen and elastic fibers, which contributes to the attenuation of pulmonary functional parameters.

- Structure-Activity Association of Flavonoids in Lung Diseases(2014) LAGO, Joao Henrique G.; TOLEDO-ARRUDA, Alessandra C.; MERNAK, Marcia; BARROSA, Kaidu H.; MARTINS, Milton A.; TIBERIO, Iolanda F. L. C.; PRADO, Carla M.Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds classified into flavonols, flavones, flavanones, isoflavones, catechins, anthocyanidins, and chalcones according to their chemical structures. They are abundantly found in Nature and over 8,000 flavonoids have from different sources, mainly plant materials, have been described. Recently reports have shown the valuable effects of flavonoids as antiviral, anti-allergic, antiplatelet, antitumor, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agents and interest in these compounds has been increasing since they can be helpful to human health. Several mechanisms of action are involved in the biological properties of flavonoids such as free radical scavenging, transition metal ion chelation, activation of survival genes and signaling pathways, regulation of mitochondrial function and modulation of inflammatory responses. The anti-inflammatory effects of flavonoids have been described in a number of studies in the literature, but not frequently associated to respiratory disease. Thus, this review aims to discuss the effects of different flavonoids in the control of lung inflammation in some disorders such as asthma, lung emphysema and acute respiratory distress syndrome and the possible mechanisms of action, as well as establish some structure-activity relationships between this biological potential and chemical profile of these compounds.

C.- Antileukotriene Reverts the Early Effects of Inflammatory Response of Distal Parenchyma in Experimental Chronic Allergic Inflammation(2013) GOBBATO, Nathalia Brandao; SOUZA, Flavia Castro Ribas de; FUMAGALLI, Stella Bruna Napolitano; LOPES, Fernanda Degobbi Tenorio Quirino dos Santos; PRADO, Carla Maximo; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; TIBERIO, Iolanda de Fatima Lopes Calvo; LEICK, Edna AparecidaAims. Compare the effects of montelukast or dexamethasone in distal lung parenchyma and airway walls of guinea pigs (GP) with chronic allergic inflammation. Methods. GP have inhaled ovalbumin (OVA group-2x/week/4weeks). After the 4th inhalation, GP were treated with montelukast or dexamethasone. After 72 hours of the 7th inhalation, GP were anesthetised, and lungs were removed and submitted to histopathological evaluation. Results. Montelukast and dexamethasone treatments reduced the number of eosinophils in airway wall and distal lung parenchyma compared to OVA group (P < 0.05). On distal parenchyma, both treatments were effective in reducing RANTES, NF-kappa B, and fibronectin positive cells compared to OVA group (P < 0.001). Montelukast was more effective in reducing eotaxin positive cells on distal parenchyma compared to dexamethasone treatment (P < 0.001), while there was a more expressive reduction of IGF-I positive cells in OVA-D group (P < 0.001). On airway walls, montelukast and dexamethasone were effective in reducing IGF-I, RANTES, and fibronectin positive cells compared to OVA group (P < 0.05). Dexamethasone was more effective in reducing the number of eotaxin and NF-kappa B positive cells than Montelukast (P < 0.05). Conclusions. In this animal model, both treatments were effective in modulating allergic inflammation and remodeling distal lung parenchyma and airway wall, contributing to a better control of the inflammatory response.
