    (2019) SIERRA, Ana Paula; OLIVEIRA-JUNIOR, Manoel Carneiro; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria; BENETTI, Marino; OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo; FELIX, Soraia Nogueira; GENARO, Isabella Santos; ROMANHOLO, Beatriz Mangueira Saraiva; GHORAYEB, Nabil; KISS, Maria Augusta Peduti Dal Molin; CURY-BOAVENTURA, Maria Fernanda; PESQUERO, Joao Bosco; VIEIRA, Rodolfo Paula
    Background. The endurance exercise is capable of inducing skeletal muscle, heart, and respiratory fatigue, evidenced by morphofunctional cardiac changes, release of myocardial injury biomarkers, and reduction of maximal voluntary ventilation and oxygen consumption (VO2) at peak exercise. Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate whether marathoners present cardiac fatigue after marathon and whether it correlates with pulmonary levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) and pulmonary inflammation. Methods. 31 male marathoners, age 39 +/- 9 years, were evaluated by cardiopulmonary exercise test three weeks before and between three and 15 days after a marathon; eNO analysis and spirometry were evaluated before, immediately after, and 24 and 72 hours after the marathon, and sputum cellularity and cytokine level were assessed before and after the marathon. Results. Marathon induced an increase in the percentage of macrophages, neutrophils (from 0.65% to 4.28% and 6.79% to 14.11%, respectively), and epithelial cells and a decrease in cytokines in induced sputum, followed by an increase in eNO concentration (20 +/- 11 to 35 +/- 19 ppb), which presented a significant reduction 24 and 72 hours after marathon (9 +/- 12 e 12 +/- 9 ppb, p < 0.05). We observed a decrease in the spirometry parameters in all time points assessed after the marathon (p < 0.05) as well as in cardiopulmonary capacity, evidenced by a reduction in VO2 and ventilation peaks (57 +/- 6 to 55 +/- 6 mL.min(-1).Kg(-1 )and 134 +/- 19 to 132 +/- 18 Lpm, respectively, p < 0.05). Finally, we observed a negative correlation between the decrease in forced expiratory volume and decrease in eNO 24 and 72 hours after marathon (r = -0.4, p = 0.05). Conclusion. Reduction in eNO bioavailability after marathon prevents the reduction in cardiopulmonary capacity induced by acute inflammatory pattern after marathon.

    Low dose of chlorine exposure exacerbates nasal and pulmonary allergic inflammation in mice
    (2018) GENARO, Isabella Santos de; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria de; HIZUME-KUNZLER, Deborah Camargo; MORIYA, Henrique Takachi; SILVA, Ronaldo Aparecido; CRUZ, Joao Carlos Goncalves; LOPES, Renan Boeira; RIGHETTI, Renato Fraga; VIEIRA, Rodolfo de Paula; SAIKI, Mitiko; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; TIBERIO, Iolanda de Fatima Lopes Calvo; ARANTES-COSTA, Fernanda Magalhaes; SARAIVA-ROMANHOLO, Beatriz Mangueira
    Work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) is defined as preexisting asthma that worsens with exposure to irritants [e.g., chlorine (Cl-2) derivatives] in the workplace. The maximum allowable concentration in the workplace of Cl-2 exposure is 3 mg/m(3) (described in OSHA). We investigated in an experimental asthma model in mice the effects of a single exposure to a sodium hypochlorite dose with this allowed chlorine concentration and a tenfold higher dose. Acute chlorine exposure at 3.3 mg/m(3) in the OVA-sensitized group increased eosinophils in the peribronquial infiltrate, cytokine production, nasal mucus production and the number of iNOS positive cells in the distal lung compared to only sensitized mice. The exposure to a higher dose of 33.3 mg/m(3) in the OVA-sensitized group resulted in an increase in respiratory system elastance, in the total and differential numbers of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-17 in the lungs, eosinophils in peribronquial infiltrate and mucus content in nasal compared to non-exposed and sensitized animals. In this asthma model, chorine exposures at an allowable dose, contributed to the potentiation of Th2 responses. The functional alterations were associated with increased iNOS and ROCK-2 activation in the distal lung.

    (2018) SANTOS, Tabata M. dos; RIGHETTI, Renato F.; CAMARGO, Leandro do N.; SARAIVA-ROMANHOLO, Beatriz M.; ARISTOTELES, Luciana R. C. R. B.; SOUZA, Flavia C. R. de; FUKUZAKI, Silvia; ALONSO-VALE, Maria I. C.; CRUZ, Maysa M.; PRADO, Carla M.; LEICK, Edna A.; MARTINS, Milton A.; TIBERIO, Iolanda F. L. C.
    Background: Interleukin-17 (IL-17) and Rho-kinase (ROCK) play an important role in regulating the expression of inflammatory mediators, immune cell recruitment, hyper-responsiveness, tissue remodeling, and oxidative stress. Modulation of IL-17 and ROCK proteins may represent a promising approach for the treatment of this disease. Objective: To study the effects of an anti-IL17 neutralizing antibody and ROCK inhibitor treatments, separately and in combination, in a murine model of chronic allergy-induced lung inflammation. Methods: Sixty-four BALBc mice, were divided into eight groups (n = 8): SAL (saline-instilled); OVA (exposed-ovalbumin); SAL-RHOi (saline and ROCK inhibitor), OVA-RHOi (exposed-ovalbumin and ROCK inhibitor); SAL-anti-IL17 (saline and anti-IL17); OVA-anti-IL1 7 (exposed-ovalbumin and anti-IL1 7); SAL-RHOi-anti-IL17 (saline, ROCK inhibitor and anti-IL17); and OVA-RHOi-anti-IL17 (exposed-ovalbumin, anti-IL17, and ROCK inhibitor). A 28-day protocol of albumin treatment was used for sensitization and induction of pulmonary inflammation. The anti-IL17A neutralizing antibody (7.5 mu g per treatment) was administered by intraperitoneal injection and ROCK inhibitor (Y-27632) intranasally (10 mg/kg), 1 h prior to each ovalbumin challenge (days 22, 24, 26, and 28). Results: Treatment with the anti-IL17 neutralizing antibody and ROCK inhibitor attenuated the percentage of maximal increase of respiratory system resistance and respiratory system elastance after challenge with methacholine and the inflammatory response markers evaluated (CD4(+), CD8(+), ROCK1, ROCK2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10 IL-13, IL-17, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, NF-kappa B, dendritic cells, iNOS, MMP-9, MMP-12, TIMP-1, FOXP3, isoprostane, biglycan, decorin, fibronectin, collagen fibers content and gene expression of IL-17, VAChT, and arginase) compared to the OVA group (p < 0.05). Treatment with anti-IL17 and the ROCK inhibitor together resulted in potentiation in decreasing the percentage of resistance increase after challenge with methacholine, decreased the number of IL-5 positive cells in the airway, and reduced, IL-5, TGF beta, FOXP3, ROCK1 and ROCK2 positive cells in the alveolar septa compared to the OVA-RHOi and OVA-anti-IL17 groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Anti-IL17 treatment alone or in conjunction with the ROCK inhibitor, modulates airway responsiveness, inflammation, tissue remodeling, and oxidative stress in mice with chronic allergic lung inflammation.

    Collagenase mRNA Overexpression and Decreased Extracellular Matrix Components Are Early Events in the Pathogenesis of Emphysema
    (2015) ROBERTONI, Fabola S. Z.; OLIVO, Clarice R.; LOURENCO, Juliana D.; GONCALVES, Natalia G.; VELOSA, Ana Paula P.; LIN, Chin J.; FLO, Claudia M.; SARAIVA-ROMANHOLO, Beatriz M.; SASAKI, Sergio D.; MARTINS, Milton A.; TEODORO, Walcy R.; LOPES, Fernanda Degobbi T. Q. S.
    To describe the progression of parenchymal remodeling and metalloproteinases gene expression in earlier stages of emphysema, mice received porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) instillation and Control groups received saline solution. After PPE instillation (1, 3, 6 hours, 3 and 21 days) we measured the mean linear intercept, the volume proportion of types I and III collagen, elastin, fibrillin and the MMP-1, -8, -12 and -13 gene expression. We observed an initial decrease in type I (at the 3rd day) and type III collagen (from the 6th hour until the 3rd day), in posterior time points in which we detected increased gene expression for MMP-8 and -13 in PPE groups. After 21 days, the type III collagen fibers increased and the type I collagen values returned to similar values compared to control groups. The MMP-12 gene expression was increased in earlier times (3 and 6 hours) to which we detected a reduced proportion of elastin (3 days) in PPE groups, reinforcing the already established importance of MMP-12 in the breakdown of ECM. Such findings will be useful to better elucidate the alterations in ECM components and the importance of not only metalloelastase but also collagenases in earlier emphysema stages, providing new clues to novel therapeutic targets.

    Respiratory rehabilitation: a physiotherapy approach to the control of asthma symptoms and anxiety
    (2012) LAURINO, Renata Andre; BARNABE, Viviane; SARAIVA-ROMANHOLO, Beatriz M.; STELMACH, Rafael; CUKIER, Alberto; NUNES, Maria do Patrocinio T.
    OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to verify the degree of anxiety, respiratory distress, and health-related quality of life in a group of asthmatic patients who have experienced previous panic attacks. Additionally, we evaluated if a respiratory physiotherapy program (breathing retraining) improved both asthma and panic disorder symptoms, resulting in an improvement in the health-related quality of life of asthmatics. METHODS: Asthmatic individuals were assigned to a chest physiotherapy group that included a breathing retraining program held once a week for three months or a paired control group that included a Subtle Touch program. All patients were assessed using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV, the Sheehan Anxiety Scale, the Quality of Life Questionnaire, and spirometry parameter measurements. RESULTS: Both groups had high marks for panic disorder and agoraphobia, which limited their quality of life. The Breathing Retraining Group program improved the clinical control of asthma, reduced panic symptoms and agoraphobia, decreased patient scores on the Sheehan Anxiety Scale, and improved their quality of life. Spirometry parameters were unchanged. CONCLUSION: Breathing retraining improves the clinical control of asthma and anxiety symptoms and the health-related quality of life in asthmatic patients.

    Investigating the Effects of a New Peptide, Derived from the Enterolobium contortisiliquum Proteinase Inhibitor (EcTI), on Inflammation, Remodeling, and Oxidative Stress in an Experimental Mouse Model of Asthma-Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap (ACO)
    (2023) BARBOSA, Jessica Anastacia Silva; SILVA, Luana Laura Sales da; JOAO, Juliana Morelli Lopes Goncalves; CAMPOS, Elaine Cristina de; FUKUZAKI, Silvia; CAMARGO, Leandro do Nascimento; SANTOS, Tabata Maruyama dos; SANTOS, Henrique Tibucheski dos; BEZERRA, Suellen Karoline Moreira; SARAIVA-ROMANHOLO, Beatriz Mangueira; LOPES, Fernanda Degobbi Tenorio Quirino dos Santos; BONTURI, Camila Ramalho; OLIVA, Maria Luiza Vilela; LEICK, Edna Aparecida; RIGHETTI, Renato Fraga; TIBERIO, Iolanda de Fatima Lopes Calvo
    The synthesized peptide derived from Enterolobium contortisiliquum (pep3-EcTI) has been associated with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and it may be a potential new treatment for asthma-COPD overlap-ACO). Purpose: To investigate the primary sequence effects of pep3-EcTI in an experimental ACO. BALB/c mice were divided into eight groups: SAL (saline), OVA (ovalbumin), ELA (elastase), ACO (ovalbumin + elastase), ACO-pep3-EcTI (treated with inhibitor), ACO-DX (treated with dexamethasone), ACO-DX-pep3-EcTI (treated with dexamethasone and inhibitor), and SAL-pep3-EcTI (saline group treated with inhibitor). We evaluated the hyperresponsiveness to methacholine, exhaled nitric oxide, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), mean linear intercept (Lm), inflammatory markers, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), interferon (IFN)), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), growth factor (TGF-beta), collagen fibers, the oxidative stress marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), transcription factors, and the signaling pathway NF-kappa B in the airways (AW) and alveolar septa (AS). Statistical analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA and t-tests, significant when p < 0.05. ACO caused alterations in the airways and alveolar septa. Compared with SAL, ACO-pep3-EcTI reversed the changes in the percentage of resistance of the respiratory system (%Rrs), the elastance of the respiratory system (%Ers), tissue resistance (%Gtis), tissue elastance (%Htis), airway resistance (%Raw), Lm, exhaled nitric oxide (ENO), lymphocytes, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, TNF-alpha, INF-gamma, MMP-12, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, collagen fibers, and iNOS. ACO-DX reversed the changes in %Rrs, %Ers, %Gtis, %Htis, %Raw, total cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, macrophages, IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, TNF-alpha, INF-gamma, MMP-12, TGF-beta, collagen fibers, and iNOS. ACO-DX-pep3-EcTI reversed the changes, as was also observed for the pep3-EcTI and the ACO-DX-pep3-EcTI. Significance: The pep3-EcTI was revealed to be a promising strategy for the treatment of ACO, asthma, and COPD.

    Effects of Anti-IL-17 on Inflammation, Remodeling, and Oxidative Stress in an Experimental Model of Asthma Exacerbated by LPS
    (2018) CAMARGO, Leandro do Nascimento; RIGHETTI, Renato Fraga; ARISTOTELES, Luciana Ritha de Cassia Rolim Barbosa; SANTOS, Tabata Maruyama dos; SOUZA, Flavia Castro Ribas de; FUKUZAKI, Silvia; CRUZ, Maysa Mariana; ALONSO-VALE, Maria Isabel Cardoso; SARAIVA-ROMANHOLO, Beatriz Mangueira; PRADO, Carla Maximo; MARTINS, Milton de Arruda; LEICK, Aparecida; TIBERIO, Iolanda de Fatima Lopes Calvo
    Inflammation plays a central role in the development of asthma, which is considered an allergic disease with a classic Th2 inflammatory profile. However, cytokine IL-17 has been examined to better understand the pathophysiology of this disease. Severe asthmatic patients experience frequent exacerbations, leading to infection, and subsequently show altered levels of inflammation that are unlikely to be due to the Th2 immune response alone. This study estimates the effects of anti-IL-17 therapy in the pulmonary parenchyma in a murine asthma model exacerbated by LPS. BALB/c mice were sensitized with intraperitoneal ovalbumin and repeatedly exposed to inhalation with ovalbumin, followed by treatment with or without anti-IL-17. Twenty-four hours prior to the end of the 29-day experimental protocol, the two groups received LPS (0.1 mg/ml intratracheal OVA-LPS and OVA-LPS IL-17). We subsequently evaluated bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, performed a lung tissue morphometric analysis, and measured IL-6 gene expression. OVA-LPS-treated animals treated with anti-IL-17 showed decreased pulmonary inflammation, edema, oxidative stress, and extracellular matrix remodeling compared to the non-treated OVA and OVA-LPS groups (p < 0.05). The anti-IL-17 treatment also decreased the numbers of dendritic cells, FOXP3, NF-kappa B, and Rho kinase 1-and 2-positive cells compared to the non-treated OVA and OVA-LPS groups (p < 0.05). In conclusion, these data suggest that inhibition of IL-17 is a promising therapeutic avenue, even in exacerbated asthmatic patients, and significantly contributes to the control of Th1/Th2/Th17 inflammation, chemokine expression, extracellular matrix remodeling, and oxidative stress in a murine experimental asthma model exacerbated by LPS.

    Protective Effects of Anti-IL17 on Acute Lung Injury Induced by LPS in Mice
    (2018) RIGHETTI, Renato Fraga; SANTOS, Tabata Maruyama dos; CAMARGO, Leandro do Nascimento; ARISTOTELES, Luciana Ritha Cassia Rolim Barbosa; FUKUZAKI, Silvia; SOUZA, Flavia Castro Ribas de; SANTANA, Fernanda Paula Roncon; AGRELA, Marcus Vinicius Rodrigues de; CRUZ, Maysa Mariana; ALONSO-VALE, Maria Isabel Cardoso; GENARO, Isabella Santos; SARAIVA-ROMANHOLO, Beatriz Mangueira; LEICK, Edna Aparecida; MARTINS, Milton de Arruda; PRADO, Carla Maximo; TIBERIO, Iolanda de Fatima Lopes Calvo
    Introduction: T helper 17 (Th17) has been implicated in a variety of inflammatory lung and immune system diseases. However, little is known about the expression and biological role of IL-17 in acute lung injury (ALI).We investigated the mechanisms involved in the effect of anti-IL17 in a model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. Methods: Mice were pre-treated with anti-IL17, 1h before saline/LPS intratracheal administration alongside non-treated controls and levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO), cytokine expression, extracellular matrix remodeling and oxidative stress, as well as immune cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and respiratory mechanics were assessed in lung tissue. Results: LPS instillation led to an increase in multiple cytokines, proteases, nuclear factor-kappa B, and Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3), eNO and regulators of the actomyosin cytoskeleton, the number of CD4+ and iNOS-positive cells as well as the number of neutrophils and macrophages in BALF, resistance and elastance of the respiratory system, ARG-1 gene expression, collagen fibers, and actin and 8-iso-PGF2 alpha volume fractions. Pre-treatment with anti-IL17 led to a significant reduction in the level of all assessed factors. Conclusions: Anti-IL17 can protect the lungs from the inflammatory effects of LPS-induced ALI, primarily mediated by the reduced expression of cytokines and oxidative stress. This suggests that further studies using anti-IL17 in a treatment regime would be highly worthwhile.
