    Late remodeling of extracellular matrix after acute inflammatory injury or chronic distension
    (2012) PRIST, Iryna Hirata; SALLES, Alessandra Grassi; SALGADO, Thais M. de Lima; SOUZA, Heraldo Possolo De
    Extracellular matrix remodeling is a crucial step in the healing process after inflammatory or infectious insult. We studied the role of matrix metalloproteinases in models of disease secondary to an acute inflammatory injury (burned skin) or chronic aggression (skin from obese patients submitted to gastroplasty). Skin samples were extracted using a 4 mm punch from abdomen of patients in late post-operative of bariatric surgery, recovered from third degree burns or control subjects. RNA was extracted by TRIzol and evaluated by quantitative PCR. MMPs activity was determined by zymography. In skin from burned patients, MMPs 2 and 9 expression was not different from control subjects. Obese patients present a higher MMP2 expression, compared to controls (2.4±0.56 x 1.0±0.1, respectively, p<0.05), however MMP9 mRNA was not detectable in these patients, even when conventional PCR was used. Interestingly, in spite of higher mRNA amounts, MMP2 activity was reduced in burned patients compared to controls (1.3±0.1 x 2.6±0.5 A.U., respectively, p<0.05), while MMP9 activity had a large variability, preventing any conclusion. We conclude that an acute inflammatory stimulus leads to late decreased MMP2 activity, what can explain the extensive fibrosis observed in these patients. In a more prolonged injury, due to chronic skin distension caused by obesity, MMP9 expression is affected leading to flabby skin deposits.

    Obesity alters sepsis induced pulmonary inflammation
    (2012) LIMA-SALGADO, T.; FUNGARO, T. P.; PETRONI, R. C.; OLIVEIRA, S. J. S.; BARBEIRO, D. F.; SORIANO, F. G.
    Purpose/Objective: Sepsis is a severe disease that represents a significant healthcare burden worldwide, while obesity has reached epidemic proportions over the last few decades. Although the mechanism is uncharted, it is known that obesity increases morbidity and mortality in sepsis through its multiple effects on many organ systems, including pulmonary function. Our aim was to investigate the effects of obesity in systemic and pulmonary inflammatory process in an experimental model of endotoxemic shock. Materials and methods: Animals were fed a high fat diet (30% of fat) for 6 weeks and then injected with 15 mg/kg LPS i.p. They were euthanatized after 6, 24 and 48 h. Inflammation was characterized by measurement of plasma and pulmonary cytokines. The mRN expression of cytokines and tissue remodeling proteins was determined by real time PCR. Results: Obesity decreased the survival rate of the animals 24 h after LPS injection. There was higher plasma concentration of IL1-beta, IL-6and TNF-alpha in these animals. Furthermore, there was higher concentration of IL-6 in the obese mice’s lungs after 6 h of endotoxemia. However, the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and MMP9) was lower, suggesting they may be converted to proteins. Obese mice presented higher mRNA expression of TGF-beta after 6 h, indicating a reparative process. Conclusions: Obesity may be an additional complication factor in sepsis induced pulmonary inflammation.

    Effect of low level laser therapy on acute lung injury
    (2012) CURY, Vivian; LIMA-SALGADO, Thais; PINHEIRO, Natalia; PRADO, Carla Maximo; ASSIS, Livia; MORETTI, Ana Iochabel; SOUZA, Heraldo Possolo
    Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is prescribed as adjuvant therapy for inflammatory diseases. Hence, we examined whether LLLT may ameliorate acute lung injury (ALI) induced by intratracheal LPS instillation. C57 black mice (n=10 per group) were treated with intratracheal LPS (5mg/kg) or PBS. Six hours after instillation, two groups (PBS and LPS) were irradiated with laser at 660 nm, power output 30mW, fluency 10J/cm2. We observed a marked decrease in the number of cells recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage in LPS + LLLT animals compared to LPS alone (2.0±0.8 x 4.4±1.3, respectively p<0.05). LLLT also decreased the number of inflammatory cells infiltrated in lung interstitium (49.6±3.15 x 71.8±3.92), p<0.05). There was also a decrease in the expression of F4/80 (macrophage surface marker) and MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), detected by quantitative PCR, in animals submitted to LPS + LLLT, when compared to animals that received only LPS. A marked decrease in cytokines secretion (IL1β, TNFα, IL6, IL10) was also observed in LPS+LLLT group. No difference was observed in animals that received PBS, regardless of LLLT. Therefore, LLLT decreases pulmonary inflammatory cell infiltration, cytokines and chemokines secretion in an experimental model of ALI, supporting the notion that laser therapy attenuates inflammatory intensity, what can contribute to accelerate ALI resolution.
