- Acute exposure to diesel and sewage biodiesel exhaust causes pulmonary and systemic inflammation in mice(2018) BRITO, Jose Mara de; MAUAD, Thais; CAVALHEIRO, Guilherme Franco; YOSHIZAKI, Kelly; ANDRE, Paulo Afonso de; LICHTENFELS, Ana Julia F. C.; GUIMARAES, Eliane Tigre; RIVERO, Dolores Helena Rodriguez Ferreira; ANTONANGELO, Leila; OLIVEIRA, Luciano Basto; PEDROSO, Luiz Roberto Martins; MACCHIONE, Mariangela; SALDIVA, Paulo Hilario NascimentoBiodiesel is a renewable energy source that reduces particle emission, but few studies have assessed its effects. To assess the effects of acute inhalation of two doses (600 and 1200 mu g/m(3)) of diesel (DE) and biodiesel (BD) fuels on the inflammatory pulmonary and systemic profile of mice. Animals were exposed for 2 h in an inhalation chamber inside the Container Laboratory for Fuels. Heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV) and blood pressure were determined 30 min after exposure. After 24 h. we analyzed the lung inflammation using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF); neutrophil and macrophage quantification in the lung parenchyma was performed, and blood and bone marrow biomarkers as well as receptor of endothelin-A (ET-Ar), receptor of endothelin-B (ET-Br), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOs) and isoprostane (ISO) levels in the pulmonary vessels and bronchial epithelium were evaluated. HRV increased for BD600, D600 and D1200 compared to filtered air (FA). Both fuels (DE and BD) produced alterations in red blood cells independent of the dose. BALI from the BD600 and BD1200 groups showed an increase in neutrophils compared to those of the FA group. Numeric density of the polyrnorphonuclear and mononudear cells was elevated with BD600 compared to FA. In the peribronchiolar vessels, there was an increase in ET-Ar and ET-Br expression following BD600 compared to IA; and there was a reduction in the iNOs expression for BD1200 and the VCAM-1 for D1200 compared to FA. In the bronchial epithelium, there was an increase in ETAr at BD600, ET-Br at two doses (600 and 1200 mu g/m(3)) of DE and BD, iNOs at D600 and VCAM-1 at BD1200 and D600; all groups were compared to the FA group. Acute exposure to DE and BD derived from sewage methyl esters triggered pulmonary and cardiovascular inflammatory alterations in mice.
- Viscoelastic Properties of Bronchial Mucus After Respiratory Physiotherapy in Subjects With Bronchiectasis(2015) RAMOS, Ercy M. C.; RAMOS, Dionei; MOREIRA, Graciane L.; MACCHIONE, Mariangela; GUIMARAES, Eliane T.; RODRIGUES, Fernanda Maria M.; SOUZA, Altay Alves Lino de; SALDIVA, Paulo H. N.; JARDIM, Jose R.BACKGROUND: Previous studies have evaluated the effectiveness of postural drainage (PD), percussion (PERC), the coughing technique (CT), and other types of coughing in subjects with bronchiectasis. However, the application times of these techniques and the quality of the expectorated mucus require further study. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of PD, percussion, CT, and huffing in subjects with bronchiectasis and assess the quantity and quality of bronchial mucus produced (measurement of wet and dry weight and determination of viscoelastic properties). METHODS: Twenty-two subjects with stable bronchiectasis (6 men; mean age: 51.5 y) underwent 4 d of experimental study (CT, PD+CT, PD+PERC+CT, and PD+huffing). The techniques were performed in 3 20-min periods separated by 10 min of rest. Before performing any technique (baseline) and after each period (30, 60, and 90 min), expectorated mucus was collected for analysis of viscoelasticity. RESULTS: A significant increase in the dry weight/wet weight ratio was found after 60 min of PD+PERC+CT (P = .01) and 90 min of PD+huffing (P = .03) and PD+PERC+CT (P = .007) in comparison with CT. PD+PERC+CT and PD+huffing led to the greatest removal of viscoelastic mucus at 60 min (P = .02 and P = .002, respectively) and continued to do so at 90 min (P = .02 and P = .01, respectively) in comparison with CT. An interaction effect was found, as all techniques led to a greater removal of elastic mucus in comparison with CT at 60 min (PD+CT, P = .001; PD+PERC+CT, P < .001; PD+huffing, P < .001), but only PD+PERC+CT and PD+huffing led to a greater removal of elastic mucus than CT at 90 min (P < .001 and P = .005, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: PD+PERC+CT and PD+huffing performed similarly regarding the removal of viscoelastic mucus in 2 and 3 20-min periods separated by 10 min of rest. PD+PERC+CT led to the greatest removal of mucus in the shortest period (2 20-min periods separated by 10 min of rest). (C) 2015 Daedalus Enterprises
- Effects of intrauterine exposure to concentrated ambient particles on allergic sensitization in juvenile mice(2021) BRITO, Jose Mara de; AMEIDA, Francine Maria de; ARANTES-COSTA, Fernanda Magalhaes; GUIMARAES, Eliane Tigre; MORGAN, Adriana; MANGONE, Flavia Rotea; PAVANELLI, Ana Carolina; NAGAI, Maria Aparecida; VIEIRA, Rodolfo P.; MACCHIONE, Mariangela; MAUAD, ThaisIntrauterine exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with an increased risk of asthma development, which may differ by the age of asthma onset, sex, and pollutant concentration. To investigate the pulmonary effects of in utero exposure to concentrated urban ambient particles (CAPs) in response to house dust mite (HDM) sensitization in juvenile mice. Mice were exposed to CAPs (600 mu g/m(3) PM2.5) during the gestational period. Twenty-two-day postnatal mice were sensitized with HDM (100 mu g, intranasally, 3 times per week). Airway responsiveness (AHR), serum immunoglobulin, and lung inflammation were assessed after 43 days of the postnatal period. Female (n = 47) and male (n = 43) mice were divided into four groups as follows: (1) FA: not exposed to CAPs; (2) CAPs: exposed to CAPs; (3) HDM: sensitized to HDM; and (4) CAPs+HDM: exposed to CAPs and HDM-sensitized. PM2.5 exposure did not worsen lung hyperresponsiveness or allergic inflammation in sensitized animals. The levels of the lung cytokines IL-4, TNF-alpha, and IL-2 were differentially altered in male and female animals. Males presented hyporesponsiveness and increased lung macrophagic inflammation. There were no epigenetic changes in the IL-4 gene. In conclusion, intrauterine exposure ambient PM2.5 did not worsened allergic pulmonary susceptibility but affected the pulmonary immune profile and lung function, which differed by sex.
