Modeling pulmonary fibrosis by abnormal expression of telomerase/apoptosis/collagen V in experimental usual interstitial pneumonia
Provedor de dados: 56
Autores: Parra,E.R.; Pincelli,M.S.; Teodoro,W.R.; Velosa,A.P.P.; Martins,V.; Rangel,M.P.; Barbas-Filho,J.V.; Capelozzi,V.L.
Limitations on tissue proliferation capacity determined by telomerase/apoptosis balance have been implicated in pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, collagen V shows promise as an inductor of apoptosis. We evaluated the quantitative relationship between the telomerase/apoptosis index, collagen V synthesis, and epithelial/fibroblast replication in mice exposed to butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at high oxygen concentration. Two groups of mice were analyzed: 20 mice received BHT, and 10 control mice received corn oil. Telomerase expression, apoptosis, collagen I, III, and V fibers, and hydroxyproline were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, in situ detection of apoptosis, electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and histomorphometry....

Detection of sputum cofilin-1 as indicator of malignancy
Provedor de dados: 56
Autores: Rangel,M.P.; Antonangelo,L.; Acencio,M.M.P.; Faria,C.S.; de Sá,V.K.; Leão,P.S.; Farhat,C.; Fabro,A.T.; Longatto Filho,A.; Reis,R.M.; Takagaki,T.; Capelozzi,V.L.
Cofilin-1 (CFL1), a small protein of 18 kDa, has been studied as a biomarker due to its involvement in tumor cell migration and invasion. Our aim was to evaluate CFL1 as an indicator of malignancy and aggressiveness in sputum samples. CFL1 was analyzed by ELISA immunoassay in the sputum of 73 lung cancer patients, 13 cancer-free patients, and 6 healthy volunteers. Statistical analyses included ANOVA, ROC curves, Spearman correlation, and logistic regression. Sputum CFL1 levels were increased in cancer patients compared to cancer-free patients and volunteers (P&lt;0.05). High expression of sputum CFL1 was correlated to T4 stage (P=0.01) and N stage (P=0.03), tobacco history (P=0.01), and squamous cell carcinoma histologic type (P=0.04). The accuracy of...

Tissue hyaluronan expression, as reflected in the sputum of lung cancer patients, is an indicator of malignancy
Provedor de dados: 56
Autores: Rangel,M.P.; de Sá,V.K.; Martins,V.; Martins,J.R.M.; Parra,E.R.; Mendes,A.; Andrade,P.C.; Reis,R.M.; Longatto-Filho,A.; Oliveira,C.Z.; Takagaki,T.; Carraro,D.M.; Nader,H.B.; Capelozzi,V.L.
Hyaluronan (HA) shows promise for detecting cancerous change in pleural effusion and urine. However, there is uncertainty about the localization of HA in tumor tissue and its relationship with different histological types and other components of the extracellular matrix, such as angiogenesis. We evaluated the association between HA and degree of malignancy through expression in lung tumor tissue and sputum. Tumoral tissue had significantly increased HA compared to normal tissue. Strong HA staining intensity associated with cancer cells was significant in squamous cell carcinoma compared to adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma. A significant direct association was found between tumors with a high percentage of HA and MVD (microvessel density) in tumoral...

Caryocar brasiliense camb protects against genomic and oxidative damage in urethane-induced lung carcinogenesis
Provedor de dados: 56
Autores: Colombo,N.B.R.; Rangel,M.P.; Martins,V.; Hage,M.; Gelain,D.P.; Barbeiro,D.F.; Grisolia,C.K.; Parra,E.R.; Capelozzi,V.L.
The antioxidant effects of Caryocar brasiliense Camb, commonly known as the pequi fruit, have not been evaluated to determine their protective effects against oxidative damage in lung carcinogenesis. In the present study, we evaluated the role of pequi fruit against urethane-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress in forty 8-12 week old male BALB/C mice. An in vivo comet assay was performed to assess DNA damage in lung tissues and changes in lipid peroxidation and redox cycle antioxidants were monitored for oxidative stress. Prior supplementation with pequi oil or its extract (15 µL, 60 days) significantly reduced urethane-induced oxidative stress. A protective effect against DNA damage was associated with the modulation of lipid peroxidation and low...
