- Tacrolimus impairs airway mucociliary clearance of rats(2024) SILVA, Maristela Prado E.; SOTO, Sonia de Fatima; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria de; CORREIA, Aristides Tadeu; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; PAZETTI, RogerioObjectives: Tacrolimus (TAC) is the most widely used immunosuppressive agent after lung transplantation. Considering that the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) mainly depends on the cytoplasmic calcium concentration and that TAC can affect this due to its binding with the intracellular immunophilin FKBP12, we hypothesized that TAC could also impair the airway mucociliary clearance of rats. Methods: Sixty rats were divided into two groups (n = 30 each): Control = water; TAC = tacrolimus. After 7, 15 or 30 days of treatment, ten animals from each group were euthanized and the following parameters were studied: mucus transportability, CBF, mucociliary transport velocity (MCTV), and neutral and acid mucus production. Results: There was a significant decrease in CBF (Control vs TAC: 7 days, p = 0.008; 15 days, p = 0.007; 30 days, p = 0.001) and MCTV (Control vs TAC: 7 days, p = 0.004; 15 days, p < 0.001; 30 days, p < 0.001) in all immunosuppressed animals. TAC therapy also caused an increase in acid mucus production at all treatment times (Control vs TAC: 7 days, p = 0.001; 15 days, p = 0.043; 30 days, p = 0.001). Conclusions: TAC impairs airway mucociliary clearance of rats.
- Lodenafil treatment in the monocrotaline model of pulmonary hypertension in rats(2014) POLONIO, Igor Bastos; ACENCIO, Milena Marques Pagliareli; PAZETTI, Rogerio; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria de; SILVA, Brbara Soares da; PEREIRA, Karina Aparecida Bonifacio; SOUZA, RogerioWe assessed the effects of Iodenafil on hemodynamics and inflammation in the rat model of monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH). Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control; monocrotaline (experimental model); and Iodenafila (experimental model followed by Iodenafil treatment, p.o., 5 mg/kg daily for 28 days) Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was obtained by right heart catheterization. We investigated right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and IL-1 levels in lung fragments. The number of cases of RVH was significantly higher in the monocrotaline group than in the Iodenafil and control groups, as were mPAP and IL-1 levels. We conclude that Iodenafil can prevent monocrotaline-induced PH, RVH, and inflammation.
conferenceObject Side effects of tacrolimus upon airway epithelial tissue(2013) SILVA, Maristela Prado e; SOTO, Sonia; ALMEIDA, Francine; LIMONETE, Tatiana; PARRA, Edwin; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo; JATENE, Fabio; PAZETTI, Rogerio- Basiliximab Does Not Impair Airway Mucociliary Clearance of Rats(2022) CORREIA, Aristides Tadeu; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria de; AUGUSTO-COTTET, Marcia Cristina; NOLASCO, Patricia; BENTO, Afonso Silva Alves; HIRANO, Hugo Kenji Matsushima; SOUZA, Maria Cecilia Ribeiro de; SANTOS, Elizabete Silva dos; CASTRO, Julia Helena Rodrigues de; MATSUDA, Monique; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; PAZETTI, RogerioPrevious studies have shown that immunosuppressive drugs impair the airway mucociliary clearance of rats. However, considering the high specificity of basiliximab (BSX) and the absence of studies reporting its side effects, our aim was to investigate whether BSX, associated or not with triple therapy, impairs the mucociliary system. Forty rats were divided into 4 groups: Control, BSX, Triple, and BSX + Triple. After 15 days of treatment, animals were euthanized and the ciliary beating frequency (CBF), mucociliary transport velocity (MCTV), neutral and acid mucin production, Muc5ac and Muc5b gene expression, inflammatory cell number, and interleukin (IL)-6 concentration were analyzed. CBF and MCTV were lower in Triple and BSX + Triple groups (p < 0.05). Neutral mucin percentage was higher in Triple group (p < 0.05), and acid mucin percentage was higher in Triple and BSX + Triple groups (p < 0.05). The Muc5ac and Muc5b gene expression was higher in Triple and BSX + Triple groups (p < 0.05). Animals from Triple and BSX + Triple groups presented fewer mononuclear cells (p < 0.05). The number of polymorphonuclear cells was higher in the Triple group (p < 0.05). In the analysis of inflammatory cells in the blood, there was a decrease in lymphocytes and an increase in neutrophils in the Triple and BSX + Triple groups (p < 0.05). The concentration of IL-6 significantly increased in the animals of the Triple and BSX + Triple groups (p < 0.05). BSX did not change the mucociliary apparatus of rats.

- Creatine Supply Attenuates Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Lung Transplantation in Rats(2020) ALMEIDA, Francine M.; BATTOCHIO, Angela S.; NAPOLI, Joao P.; ALVES, Katiusa A.; BALBIN, Grace S.; OLIVEIRA-JUNIOR, Manoel; MORIYA, Henrique T.; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo M.; VIEIRA, Rodolfo P.; PAZETTI, RogerioIschemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the factors limiting the success of lung transplantation (LTx). IRI increases death risk after transplantation through innate immune system activation and inflammation induction. Some studies have shown that creatine (Cr) protects tissues from ischemic damage by its antioxidant action. We evaluated the effects of Cr supplementation on IRI after unilateral LTx in rats. Sixty-four rats were divided into four groups: water + 90 min of ischemia; Cr + 90 min of ischemia; water + 180 min of ischemia; and Cr + 180 min of ischemia. Donor animals received oral Cr supplementation (0.5 g/kg/day) or vehicle (water) for five days prior to LTx. The left lung was exposed to cold ischemia for 90 or 180 min, followed by reperfusion for 2 h. We evaluated the ventilatory mechanics and inflammatory responses of the graft. Cr-treated animals showed a significant decrease in exhaled nitric oxide levels and inflammatory cells in blood, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissue. Moreover, edema, cell proliferation and apoptosis in lung parenchyma were reduced in Cr groups. Finally, TLR-4, IL-6 and CINC-1 levels were lower in Cr-treated animals. We concluded that Cr caused a significant decrease in the majority of inflammation parameters evaluated and had a protective effect on the IRI after LTx in rats.
- Comparação de dois modelos experimentais de hipertensão pulmonar(2012) POLONIO, Igor Bastos; ACENCIO, Milena Marques Pagliarelli; PAZETTI, Rogerio; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria de; CANZIAN, Mauro; SILVA, Barbara Soares da; PEREIRA, Karina Aparecida Bonifacio; SOUZA, Rogerio deObjective: To compare two models of pulmonary hypertension (monocrotaline and monocrotaline+pneumonectomy) regarding hemodynamic severity, structure of pulmonary arteries, inflammatory markers (IL-1 and PDGF), and 45-day survival. Methods: We used 80 Sprague-Dawley rats in two study protocols: structural analysis; and survival analysis. The rats were divided into four groups: control; monocrotaline (M), pneumonectomy (P), and monocrotaline+pneumonectomy (M+P). In the structural analysis protocol, 40 rats (10/group) were catheterized for the determination of hemodynamic variables, followed by euthanasia for the removal of heart and lung tissue. The right ventricle (RV) was dissected from the interventricular septum (IS), and the ratio between RV weight and the weight of the left ventricle (LV) plus IS (RV/LV+IS) was taken as the index of RV hypertrophy. In lung tissues, we performed histological analyses, as well as using ELISA to determine IL-1 and PDGF levels. In the survival protocol, 40 animals (10/group) were followed for 45 days. Results: The M and M+P rats developed pulmonary hypertension, whereas the control and P rats did not. The RV/LV+IS ratio was significantly higher in M+P rats than in M rats, as well as being significantly higher in M and M+P rats than in control and P rats. There were no significant differences between the M and M+P rats regarding the area of the medial layer of the pulmonary arteries; IL-1 and PDGF levels; or survival. Conclusions: On the basis of our results, we cannot conclude that the monocrotaline+pneumonectomy model is superior to the monocrotaline model.
