Full textThe therapeutic procedures frequently used in oral treatments for the pathological diseases are surgical, resulting in failures of the mucosal continuity.The possibility to obtain transplantable oral epithelia from an in vitro cell culture opens new utilization perspectives not only to where it comes from, but also as a reconstructive matherial for other parts of the human body, such as: urethra, epithelia corneo-limbal, cornea, ocular surface. Many researchers still use controversial methods for obtaining cells. It was therefore evaluated and compared the efficiency in both methods: enzimatic and direct explant to obtain oral keratinocytes from human oral mucosa. Fragments of intra oral epithelial tissues from healthy human subjects, undergoing dental surgeries, were donated to the research project. The keratinocytes were cultivated over a feeder-layer from a previously irradiated 3T3 Swiss albino fibroblasts. In this study it was compared the time needed in the cell obtaintion, the best cell amount between both methods, the life-span, the cell capacity to form an in vitro epithelia and its morphologic structure. The results in the accessment of both methods have shown the possibility to obtain keratinocytes from a small oral fragment, but at the same time we may verify the advantages and peculiar restrictions for each one of both analyzed methods.

Na biofotônica, lasers e LEDs (light-emitting diodes) têm sido empregados na bioestimulação de células e tecidos. LED é um diodo semicondutor que, quando energizado, produz luz de espectro estreito, em forma de eletroluminescência. Experimentos in vitro utilizando LEDs com diferentes comprimentos de onda demonstraram a ocorrência de significativo estímulo no crescimento celular, efeito antiinflamatório e antimicrobiano, além do metabolismo celular aumentado. Na odontologia, a aplicação clínica de lasers e LEDs em terapias objetivando a redução da hipersensibilidade dentinária tem se mostrado efetiva, através de aparente síntese e deposição de dentina reacional. Entretanto, não há trabalhos na literatura que demonstrem o efeito do LED sobre a cultura de odontoblastos, tampouco dados científicos caracterizando a relação entre LED e redução da hipersensibilidade dentinária. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar a ação do LED em 630 nm sobre o metabolismo de células de linhagem odontoblástica MDPC-23. Para isto, as células foram descongeladas, cultivadas e plaqueadas. Então, o LED foi aplicado diretamente sobre estas células, em diferentes tempos (20, 40, 80 e 240”) e condições de estresse (2 ou 10% de SFB), de acordo com cada grupo experimental, por três dias consecutivos, através de um dispositivo de irradiação denominado “LEDTable”. Posteriormente, foram avaliados a viabilidade celular, através do teste MTT, e a morfologia celular, por microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Os dados obtidos nos testes de MTT foram submetidos ao teste de Mann-Whitney para a comparação das concentrações de soro fetal bovino em cada dose de energia individualmente.

Lasers and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) have been used for biostimulation of cells and tissues. LED is a semiconductor diode which produces limited spectrum visible light. In vitro experiments using LEDs at different wavelengths have shown an enhancement of cell growth, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects and increased cell metabolism. In dentistry, the use of lasers and LEDs in therapies to reduce dental hypersensitivity has been proved to be clinically effective, through the synthesis and deposition of reactionary dentin. However, there are no studies that demonstrate the effect of LED therapy on odontoblast-like cells and there is no scientific data linking LED irradiation to dental hypersensitivity reduction. For this reason, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LED 630 nm irradiation on MDPC-23 (odontoblast-like) cells metabolism. Cells were seeded on 24-wells plates and cultured. Then the LED light was directly applied to these cells under different experimental conditions (time and % of BFS), according to each experimental group, for three following days. A device named LEDTable provided red LED irradiation. Then, cell viability (MTT Assay) and cell morphology (SEM) were evaluated. The cell viability results were first submitted to Mann-Whitney tests in order to compare the fetal bovine serum concentrations and energy dose, and then Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to compare different energy doses in every serum concentration. Data were statistically analyzed (p=0,05). Results show a biostimulation of cells kept under normal culture conditions and submitted to low LED irradiation dose (1 J/cm2). However, under nutritional stress, cells required higher energy dose to be stimulated, such as 4 J/cm2. On the other hand, a 8 J/cm2 dose did not affect the metabolism of this immortalized cell line. The SEM analysis showed a higher number of cells attached... (Complete abstract click electronic acess below)

Full textEn los últimos años está emergiendo una nueva propuesta para mejorar los modelos actuales en el estudio de nuevos fármacos. Mediante la fusión de cultivos celulares y microfluídica ha nacido un nuevo campo de aplicación denominado “Órgano-en-un-chip” (OOC), donde se recrea un entorno fisiológico capaz de reproducir unidades funcionales mínimas de diversos órganos del cuerpo humano. Un elemento importante para el desarrollo de dispositivos OOC es la reproducción de zonas de interacción entre varios tejidos formados por diferentes tipos celulares. Esta tesis, titulada “Interfaces de cultivo celular para diferentes aplicaciones de OOC: desde fotolitografía a técnicas de prototipado rápido con inclusión de sensores”, tiene como objetivo el diseño, simulación y evaluación de dispositivos OOC capaces de reproducir superficies de contacto de tejidos contiguos expuestos a flujo. El trabajo está enfocado a la exploración de nuevas técnicas de fabricación que permitan el prototipado rápido de dispositivos OOC, reduciendo costes, tiempo y mano de obra asociada a dicha fabricación. El objetivo final es demostrar la utilidad de los dispositivos como herramientas de investigación para problemas biológicos, aplicándolos en esta tesis al estudio del túbulo renal y de la barrera hematoencefálica. Para ello se han fabricado tres versiones de dispositivos: 1) OOCv1 fabricado por litografía suave en múltiples capas de PDMS; 2) OOCv2 fabricado con cortadora de vinilo y cortadora láser en múltiples capas de materiales termoplásticos y con electrodos integrados en la versión OOCv2.2; 3) OOCv3 fabricado mediante impresión 3D por esterolitografía. Todos los dispositivos están hechos de materiales biocompatibles de alta calidad óptica, con conectores fluídicos y una membrana comercial integrada. Los experimentos biológicos sobre túbulo renal, realizados en los dispositivos OOCv1 y OOCv2, han demostrado la viabilidad de los dispositivos, integrados con un sistema de flujo, para estudios de la metabolización de ácidos grasos en el riñón relacionados con condiciones diabetogénicas. Los experimentos biológicos sobre la barrera hematoencefálica han confirmado la viabilidad de OOCv2 para el cocultivo compartimentado de células endoteliales de cerebro y pericitos. La integración de electrodos en el OOCv2.2 ha demostrado ser una técnica fiable para la medición de la integridad de barreras biológicas de modo no-invasivo, libre de etiqueta (“label-free”), y a tiempo real gracias a la espectroscopía de impedancia.

Introdução: Modelos de estudos in vitro são considerados como padrão ouro para análises de atividades celulares que visam mimetizações da dinâmica das células in vivo, inclusive quando as amostras celulares são submetidas à compressão estática. Células quando cultivadas sob um substrato representam a estrutura natural e função dos tecidos in vivo no que diz respeito à fisiologia, forma da célula e seu ambiente. Objetivo: Avaliar a viabilidade e morte celular no modelo de compressão contínua na cultura de fibroblastos humanos derivados do ligamento periodontal. Métodos: Foram selecionados 10 pacientes, submetidos à extrações dos 4 terceiros molares inclusos por indicação ortodôntica. A amostra consistiu de 4 mm2 de tecido periodontal do terço médio das raízes. A mesma foi cultivada até a 6ª passagem e depois as células foram divididas em dois grupos: Grupo Controle (GC), com cultivo em monocamada e substrato sem aplicação de força durante 6h e Grupo Experimental (GE3 e GE4), com cultivo em monocamada e substrato com aplicação de carga de 3 e 4 g/cm2 durante 6h. Resultados: Tanto o GC quanto o GE3 e GE4, monocamada e substrato, não apresentaram diferença estatística nos valores de viabilidade celular e apoptose. Com o aumento da carga o GE4 indicou maior necrose em relação ao GC e o GE3. Conclusão: Não houve diferença na utilização de substrato de colágeno na cultura de fibroblastos periodontais em nenhum dos parâmetros avaliados, mas houve maior necrose com o aumento da carga na avaliação intragrupos. Descritores: Ligamento periodontal, Sobrevivência celular, Apoptose, Técnicas de cultura de células.
Introduction: In vitro studies of models are considered as gold standard for cell analysis activities aimed mimetics of the dynamics of cells in vivo, even when the cell samples are subjected to static compression. Cells when grown in a substrate represent the natural structure and function of tissues in vivo with respect to physiology, cell shape and its environment. Objective: To evaluate the viability and cell death in the pressure model continues the culture of fibroblasts derived from human periodontal ligament. Methods: We selected 10 patients who underwent extractions of 4 the 3rd molars included for orthodontic indication. The sample consisted of 4 mm2 of periodontal tissue of the middle third of the roots. The same was grown to the 6th passage, then the cells were divided into two groups: the Control Group (CG) with culture monolayer and the substrate without application of force for 6h and Experimental Group (EG3, EG4) with growing monolayer and substrate 3 of load application and 4 g/cm2 for 6 hours. Results: Both the CG when the EG3 and EG4, monolayer and substrate showed no statistical difference in cell viability and apoptosis values. With increasing load the EG4 indicated greater necrosis than the CG and EG3. Conclusion: There was no difference in the use of collagen substrate in the culture of periodontal fibroblasts in all evaluated parameters, but there was a higher necrosis with increasing load on the intra-group evaluation.

Full textOne of the main problems in Periodontics is how to eliminate the subgingival bacteria and to convert the root surface in a biocompatible environment. These results can be achieved by scaling and root planning, chemical treatment, high energy lasers or photodynamic therapy. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of human root fragments treated by different techniques as photodynamic therapy, Er:YAG, Nd:YAG, scaling and root planning and citric acid plus tetracycline on proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and human osseous granulation cells (OG). Forty-five root fragments from 25 human teeth extracted by periodontal indication were divided in six groups: control with cells (CC), scaled fragment control (SC), Er:YAG laser (ER - 60mJ, 10pps, scanning, focal distance 12mm, 10Hz, 10s, 2940nm), Nd:YAG laser (ND 0.5W, contact, 15Hz, 10s, 1640nm), fhotodynamic therapy (PDT InGaAIP, 30mW, 45J/cm2,30s, 660nm, toluidine blue O), citric acid plus tetracycline (CA). The cells were grown in DMEM medium with 10% of bovine fetal serum, 1% of antibiotic solution and 0.5% amphotericin B. In 96-weIl plates 2 x 103 cells in the sixth passage were plated. After 24h the medium was replaced by medium conditioned by the treated fragments with exception of cell control group (CC) which received regular medium. Cell viability was measured by MTT test at 24, 48, 72 and 96h. Data was described in optic density and percentage of growth and was analyzed by ANOVA test complemented by Tukeys test at a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). There was no statistical differences between control groups CC and SC (p>0.05). For HGF cells in relation to control, there was a higher growth after 48h and 72h at PDT group, after 72h at ND group, after 72h and 96h at CA group (p<0.05). For OG cells in relation to control, there was a higher growth only at 72h-period at ND group (p<0.05). After transformation in percentage of growth and comparison among experimental groups and both cell types, there was a statistical significant difference at ER group at 72h and 96h-period (p<0.05). It was concluded that all treatments but scaling and root planning stimulated the proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts and only the Nd:YAG treatment stimulated the proliferation of human osseous granulation cells.

Full textThe osseous granulation graft has been demonstrating good results on the periodontal healing, resulting the improvement of clinical periodontal parameters. There are very few knowledge about what kind of dental surface would be more proper for the application of this technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate the proliferation of osseous granulation cells on human root fragments treated by different techniques as scaling and root planning (control), citric acid plus tetracycline, EDTA and photodynamic therapy (PDT InGaAIP, 45J/cm², 30mW, 30s, 660nm, toluidine blue O). All test groups were previously treated which 20 curette strikes. Osseous granulation cells was culture in quadruplicate on these fragments for 24h, 48h and 72h. After that, all fragments were fixed and prepared for analysis in Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Aiming to counting the cells adhered on the roots, we obtained electron micrographs of 5 areas (center, upper right and left field, lower right and left field). The examiner calibration was analyzed by Dahlberg Casual Error measurement, systematic error test and Pearson correlation test (p<0.05). Statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA, followed by Tukey test, with a 5% level of significance (p<0.05). There were significant differences in cell number after 72h culture in favor of PDT group (p<0,05). We can conclude that the surface treatment of roots which PDT favor the proliferation of osseous granulation cells in vitro.

Resumo: Lesões cartilaginosas raramente curam-se espontaneamente. As atuais opções terapêuticas cirúrgicas e não são limitadas ao alívio dos sintomas, mando a necessidade de futura substituição total de joelho. Terapia baseada em células tronco adultas representa uma alternativa promissora para os procedimentos existentes. As células-tronco mesenquimais (MSC) apresentam alta plasticidade celular e podem ser obtidas de diversas fontes teciduais, opção que exige grande aporte celular expondo a necessidade de criopreservação, processo vantajoso. Contudo, protocolos convencionais estão diretamente associados a possíveis danos e mortalidade celular, sendo desencadeados por formação de cristais de gelo intracelular, toxicidade do crioprotetor adotado e desidratação celular. Este projeto tem como objetivo investigar a interferência da criopreservação com dimetilsufóxido (Me2SO-) (DMSO) na capacidade de MSCs em diferenciação em linhagens mesodermais e arranjo de fibras de colágeno produzidas na diferenciação condrogência. MSCs foram obtidas de tecido adiposo (ADSC). Em quarta passagem foram caracterizadas por citometria de fluxo e diferenciadas em linhagem mesodermais. Diferenciação comprovada por análise morfológica e expressão gênica por de RT-PCR. Genes escolhidos ADIPOQ, FABP4 e PPARG linhagem adipogênica, AGCAN, SOX9, COL1A1 e COL2A1 linhagem condrogênica e OC, OPN e COL1A1 linhagem osteogênica. Diferenciação condrogênica realizada pela técnica de micromassa. Arquitetura das fibras colágenas observada por microscopia de Geração de Segundo Harmônico (SHG) de MSCs e images analisadas pelos algoritmos Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) e Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). ADSCs criopreservadas em taxa controlada de congelamente com solução criprotetora de soro fetal bovino e 10% de DMSO, mesmos ensaios realizados após descongelamento. Células descongeladas submetidas aos mesmos protocolos de caracterização. Características morfológicas obtidas por SHG expressão gênica das células frescas e criopreservadas analisadas estatisticamente. Amostras de ADSC, fresca e criopreservadas, foram capazes de se diferenciar em linhagens mesodermais. Perfil de expressão gênica da linhagem adipogênica foi semelhante ao esperado para tal processo de diferenciação, em ambas amostras, criopreservadas e frescas, estas últimas com maior expressão (p=ns). Na diferenciação para linhagem osteogênica também houve o perfil de expressão esperado para os genes estudas, sendo mais expresso no grupo criopreservado (p=ns). Apesar do fato da expressão do gene COL2A1 de linhagem condrogênica ter sido maior no grupo criopreservado, quando o perfil de expressão gênica do grupo fresco foi analisado, este mostrou-se mais consistente com o perfil esperado normal. Análise das imagens de SHG demonstraram que a arquitetura das fibras colágenas foi mais organizada (p=ns) e uniforme (p>0,0001) nas amostras frescas. O grupo criopreservado demonstrou maior entropia (p=ns) e contraste (p=0,0167), demonstrando haver maior tendência direcional das fibras de colágeno nas amostras frescas. Os resultados de expressão gênica sugerem que a criopreservação pode interferir de forma positiva na diferenciação osteogênica e negativamente nas linhagens adipogênica e condrogênica. A arquitetura da rede tridimensional de colágeno foi modulada negativamente pelo processo de criopreservação, dados esses confirmados por análise das imagens obtidas por SHG, o que poderia interferir com as propriedades físico/mecânicas características do tecido colagenoso, importante na manutenção da cartilagem articular baseada em terapia celular. O uso das imagens de SHG tornou-se uma importante ferramenta na melhor avaliação das fibras colágenas
Abstract: Cartilage defects rarely heal spontaneously. Current surgical and non-surgical therapeutic interventions are limited to symptom relief and future total knee replacement continues to be necessary. Adult stem cell based therapy could represent a promising alternative to this procedure. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have great capacity of differentiation and can easily be obtained from various sources. Cryopreservation offers many advantages for practitioners engaged in cell-based therapies. However, conventional slow freezing, despite using cryoprotectant solution, has always been associated with damage and mortality due to intracellular ice formation, cryoprotectant toxicity, and dehydration. The aim of this work is to investigate whether the Dimethyl Sulfoxide (Me2SO-) (DMSO) cryopreservation process interferes with the MSCs capacity of differentiation to mesodermal lineages and/or with collagen fiber network architecture, produced by chondrogenic cells, comparing fresh and thawed MSCs. MSCs were obtained from adipocyte tissue (ADSCs). At the fourth passage cells were characterized as ADSCs by flow cytometry analysis and differentiation to mesodermic lineages was confirmed by morphology (light optical microscopy) and gene expression analysis (RT-PCR). The following genes were chosen ADIPOQ, FABP4 and PPARG for adipogenic lineage, AGCAN, SOX9, COL2A1 and COL1A1 for chondrogenic and OC, OPN and COL1A1 for osteogenic lineage. Chondrogenic differentiation was carried out by micromass technique. Collagen fibers architecture was observed by Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy. Images were analyzed by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Gray Level Cooccurrence Matrix (GLCM) algorithms. ADSCs were cryopreserved in a controlledrate freezing device with bovine serum fetal and 10% DMSO as cryoprotectant solution. Thawed cells were submitted to the same characterization protocols. SGH morphologic features and gene expression results from thawed and fresh cells were statistically analyzed. Both, thawed and fresh ADSCs were able to differentiate into mesodermal lineages. Gene expression profile of adipogenic lineage was similar to that expected for the differentiation process in both, thawed and fresh cells, with greater expression in fresh ones (p=ns). Osteogenic lineage also demonstrated the expected gene expression profile, being more expressed in the thawed group (p=ns). Despite the fact that COL2A1 gene expression in chondrogenic lineage was greater in the thawed group, when the gene expression profile was analyzed the fresh group was more consistent with the expected normal profile. SHG images results demonstrated that collagen fibers architecture was more organized (p=ns) and uniform (p<0, 0001) in fresh samples. The thawed group showed more entropy (p=ns) and contrast (p=0, 0167) demonstrating that a directional trend in the collagen fibers was only observed in the fresh group. Gene expression results suggested that cryopreservation could interfere in a positive manner with osteogenic differentiation, and negatively on adipogenic and chondrogenic lineages. Collagen network tridimensional architecture was negatively modulated by cryopreservation, confirmed by SHG analysis, which could interfere with the desirable collagen mechanical properties, important for the maintenance of articular cartilage in cell based therapy. SHG analysis has become an important tool for better evaluate collagen fibers

Introducao: Um dos objetivos da Medicina e superar os danos causados ao organismo por doencas, senilidade e traumas, restabelecendo um equilibrio normo-funcional. Nas perdas teciduais, inumeros autores afirmam que o substituto gideal h e o proprio tecido saudavel, de mesma origem ou o tecido produzido por Engenharia Tecidual (ET). Porem, ainda sao necessarias muitas pesquisas para a utilizacao in vivo. Objetivo: Avaliar tres suplementos hemoderivados, empregados em meios de cultivo, quanto a proliferacao celular e o dano celular de celulas-tronco de origem dentaria. Metodos: Foram realizados cinco experimentos a partir de dentes terceiros molares em desenvolvimento. Apos a digestao enzimatica, as celulas-tronco adultas foram cultivadas em quatro diferentes meios de cultivo.

O meio de cultivo II, mostrou proliferacao superior ao meio I e desenvolvimento semelhante ao meio III, porem nenhum demonstrou significancia em relacao ao meio IV. Os resultados do teste do cometa evidenciaram um menor dano celular nas culturas do meio IV em relacao ao meio II e meio III. As UFCs foram numerosas nos meios IV e III respectivamente, havendo maior indice de mineralizacao no meio IV do que nos meios II e III. Conclusao: O meio de cultivo suplementado com hemoderivado autologo favoreceu significativamente a proliferacao celular. O hemoderivado humano mostrou-se viavel como suplemento nas culturas de celulas-tronco dentarias humanas.
Introduction: One among many aims of medicine is to overcome injuries inflicted to the organism by diseases, aging and trauma, re-establishing the usual functions. About tissues losses, several authors claim that the ideal replacement is the healthy tissue itself, originated from the same source or developed by Tissue Engineering (TE). However, much research is needed before in vivo application. Objective: To evaluate three different kinds of sera supplies used in stem cell culture media, as to cellular proliferation and cellular injuries on dental stem cell. Methods: Five experiments were made utilizing incompletely developed third molar teeth. After enzymatic digestion, the adult stem cells were cultivated in four different kinds of culture media. Medium I, serum free (SF); medium II, supplied with FBS (heterologous serum- HeS); medium III, supplied with homologous human serum (homologous serum- HoS) and medium IV, supplied with autologous human serum (autologous serum . AuHS).These cultures were analyzed comparatively as to cellular proliferation; they were submitted Von Kossa (VK) and Alizarin Red (AR) markers tests for four weeks (checked weekly), and each two weeks checked for Colonies Forming Unities (CFUs). On the 28th day, all four cultures were submitted to comet assay, and were inspected for possible cellular DNA injuries. The results underwent a non-parametric statistical Friedman fs variance test, with significance (p) . 5%. Results: Culture medium IV reached a cellular proliferation rate higher than medium I, showing a significant result (p*=0,0074). Culture medium II presented a superior proliferation result than medium I, and similar to medium III, although neither of them presented significant result when compared to medium IV. The comet assay fs results showed minor cellular DNA injury in the medium IV cultures, when compared to medium II and III cultures. The CFUs were numerous in the media IV and III cultures, respectively, and there was higher mineralization rate in the medium IV than in the media II and III. Conclusion: The culture medium supplied with AuHS significantly improved cellular proliferation. Human sera proved to be a viable supply to human dental stem cell culture.

Full textThe effect of drugs may be enhanced through the development of new delivery systems as mucoadhesive systems. These systems remain in intimate contact with the tissue absorption, in this case the mucosa, releasing the drug at the site of action, with the consequent increase in bioavailability and may promote local and systemic effects. Mucoadhesion is currently explained by six theories: electronics, adsorption, wetting, diffusion, fracture and mechanics (Carvalho et al., 2010). In 2011, Kloster et al. developed an oral bandage and tested antimicrobial efficiency in the culture of some oral bacteria (S. mutans e C. albicans), the results were promising. The aim of this study was to analyze the biochemical and functional properties of oral antimicrobial bandage with respect to: the salivary environment degradation; the composition adjustment for improving the adherence to the buccal mucous membrane; the performance as to the controlled releasing of drugs; water absorption while analyzing the mass loss; pH measurements of the residual liquid in different periods of time; the plaster cytotoxicity in cell and fibroblast culture. Through the analyzes it was observed that the bandages absorb water and lose mass, it means that they decompose and release their property in the middle. The bandages with drug in viability analysis were cytotoxic cell and different concentrations of drug should be study.

Full textINTRODUCTION: Chromosomal aberrations are the first suspected etiology in individuals with multiple congenital anomalies, developmental delay and/or intellectual disability. This phenotype is sometimes associated with pigmentary skin anomalies. However, in some cases the peripheral blood cells karyotype is normal. Therefore, the cytogenetic analysis of other tissues such as culture and karyotyping of skin fibroblasts is important to verify the occurrence of cryptic mosaicism that may explain the clinical phenotype. OBJECTIVES: To standardize and set a protocol for culture of human skin fibroblasts. To perform molecular karyotyping of fibroblasts and establish the correlation with phenotype. METHODS: Patients were recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Genetics Unit of Instituto da Criança do Hospital das Clínicas d Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (ICR-HCFMUSP). The karyotypes of skin fibroblasts were performed in 15 patients with normal blood karyotype, presenting with pigmentary skin anomalies associated with developmental delay and/or malformations. The cytogenetic analysis of fibroblasts was made from skin biopsy of the spots, followed by fibroblast culture, processing, karyotyping by G-banding analysis and molecular cytogenetics. RESULTS: Among the 15 cases studied, 8 showed isochromosome 12p (Pallister-Killian syndrome), 1 had atypical sexual mosaicism and the other 6 had normal results. CONCLUSION: The cytogenetic analysis of skin fibroblasts is crucial for the diagnosis of patients with pigmentary skin anomalies associated with developmental delay and/or malformations. The proper diagnosis is fundamental for the appropriate treatment, to define prognosis for these patients and essential for the genetic counselling

Full textIn the last years, many scientific researches in implantology have been focused on alternatives that would provide higher speed and quality in the process of osseointegration. Different treatment methods can be used to modify the topographic and chemical properties of titanium surface in order to optimize the tissue-implant reactions by a positive tissue response. This study aimed to evaluate the adhesion and proliferation of mesenchymal cells from human periodontal ligament on two different titanium surfaces, using cell culture techniques. Grade II titanium discs received different surface treatments, forming two distinct groups: polished and cathodic cage plasma nitriding. Human periodontal ligament mesenchymal cells were cultured on titanium discs in 24-well cell culture plates, at a density of 2 x 104 cells per well, including wells with no discs as positive control. Data obtained by counting the cells that adhered to the titanium surfaces (polished group and cathodic cage group) and to the plastic surface (control group), in the 24, 48 and 72-hour periods after plating, were used to analyze cell adhesion and proliferation and to obtain the cell growing curve in the different groups. The data were submitted to nonparametric analysis and the differences between groups were compared by Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman statistical tests. No statistically significant differences were found in the cells counts between the groups (p>0.05). It was concluded that both treatments produced surfaces compatible with the adhesion and proliferation of human periodontal ligament mesenchymal cells

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a ades?o e prolifera??o de c?lulas mesenquimais de ligamento periodontal humano a diferentes superf?cies de tit?nio, atrav?s de t?cnicas de cultivo celular. Discos de tit?nio grau II receberam diferentes tratamentos de superf?cie, constituindo dois grupos distintos: polido e nitretado a plasma na configura??o de gaiola cat?dica. C?lulas mesenquimais obtidas do ligamento periodontal de dentes humanos h?gidos foram cultivadas sobre os discos de tit?nio em placas de cultivo de 24 po?os, na densidade de 2 x 104 c?lulas/po?o, incluindo po?os sem discos como controle positivo. Os dados obtidos das contagens das c?lulas aderidas ?s superf?cies de tit?nio (grupo polido e grupo gaiola cat?dica) e ? superf?cie pl?stica (grupo controle), nos intervalos de 24, 48 e 72 horas ap?s o plaqueamento, foram utilizados para analisar a ades?o e prolifera??o celular e obter a curva de crescimento celular nos diferentes grupos. Os dados foram submetidos a an?lises n?o param?tricas e as diferen?as entre os grupos foram comparadas pelos testes estat?sticos Kruskal-Wallis e Friedman. N?o foram encontradas diferen?as estat?sticas significativas nas contagens celulares entre os grupos estudados (p>0,05).

Desde o trabalho de Köhler e Milstein (1975), hibridomas tem sido cultivados para obtenção de anticorpos monoclonais com finalidade de uso em pesquisa, diagnóstico e terapia. O método tradicional de obtenção de anticorpos monoclonais em altas concentrações é através de indução de ascite em camundongos. Estatécnica vem sendo substituída por cultivos de hibridomas em altas concentrações celulares. Neste trabalho, foram cultivados hibridomas secretores de anticorpos monoclonais anti-dengue tipo 2 em frascos T, garrafas rotatórias (roller) e frascos do tipo spinner, utilizando-se o meio DMEM, suplementado com soro fetal bovino a 10%, e o meio comercial livre de soro animal Ex-Cell® TiterHigh TM (Sigma). Ao longo dos diferentes cultivos, foram avaliadas a concentração celular, viabilidade celular e as concentrações de nutrientes (glicose eglutamina), metabólitos (lactato e amônio) e produto (IgG). A partir dos resultados obtidos, foram calculadas as grandezas representativas do metabolismo celular: concentração máxima de células (X máx), taxa específica de crescimento celular (µexp), tempo de duplicação (td) e coeficientes de rendimento de glicose em células (YX/glc), glutamina em células (Y X/gln), células em produto (YP/X), glutamina em amônio (YNH4/gln), glicose em lactato (Ylac/glc), glicose em produto (YP/glc) e glutamina em produto (YP/gln). O meio livre de soro mostrou ser capaz de fornecer melhores condições para o crescimento celular (alcançando 4 x 106 céls/mL), mantendo a viabilidade por um período maior de tempo, nos três sistemas decultivo testados. Quanto à formação de produto, no meio livre de soro, os hibridomas também secretaram altas concentrações de IgG, alcançando níveis de 3 µg/mL. Os melhores resultados de crescimento e viabilidade celular foram observados em garrafas rollera 40 rpm (após adaptação a rotações inferiores) e a produção de IgG foi maior em garrafas rollera 16 rpm (também após adaptação a rotações inferiores) e em frascos do tipo spinner a 50 rpm (após adaptação a rotações inferiores em garrafas rolleraté 40 rpm). Quando foram comparadas as concentrações de IgG entre os sobrenadantes de cultivo e três amostras de fluido ascítico do mesmo hibridoma, foi observado que o fluido ascítico continha concentrações 10 a 20 vezes maiores que as obtidas nos sobrenadantes de cultivo. Entretanto, como os volumes de sobrenadantes de cultivo são significativamente maiores do que os de fluido ascítico de camundongos, infere-se que é viável a substituição da produção in vivopela obtenção do anticorpo monoclonal estudado neste trabalho em sistemas agitados, utilizando-se meio livre de soro animal. Contudo, sugere-se a condução de experimentos adicionais para confirmação da total viabilidade da obtenção de anticorpos monoclonais anti-dengue tipo2 in vitroutilizando o processo proposto no presente trabalho.
Since Köhler and Milstein’s work (1975), hybridoma cells have been cultured to obtain monoclonal antibodies for research, diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The traditional method to obtain high concentrations (5 to 10 mg/mL) of the monoclonal antibodies is the induction of ascite in mice. This technique is being replaced by high cell density cultivations. In this work, hybridoma secreting anti-dengue type 2 monoclonal antibodies were cultivated in T flasks, roller bottles and spinner flasks, using DMEM medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum at 10%, and the commercial serum-free medium Ex-Cell® TiterHigh TM (Sigma). Cell concentration, cell viability, as well as concentration of nutrients (glucose and glutamine), metabolites (lactate and amonium) and product (IgG) were evaluated along culture time in the different media and culture systems. Based on these data, variables that reflect the cell metabolism were calculated: maximum cell concentration (Xmáx), specific cell growth rate (µexp), duplication time (td), as well as the yield coefficients of glucose to cells (YX/glc), glutamine to cells (YX/gln), cells to product (YP/X), glutamine to ammonium (Y NH4/gln), glucose to lactate (Ylac/glc), glucose to product (YP/glc) and glutamine to product (YP/gln). Among the culture media, the serum-free medium showed to provide better conditions for cell growth (reaching 4 x 106 cells/mL), keeping high cell viabilities for a longer period, in all three tested culture systems. Concerning product formation, hybridoma also released high IgG concentrations (3 µg/mL) in the serum-free medium. Among the culture systems, the best results for cell growth and viability were found inroller bottles at 40 rpm (after adaptation under lower rotation rates) and IgG production was higher in roller bottles at 16 rpm (after adaptation under lower rotation rates) and in spinner flasks at 50 rpm (after adaptation under lower rotation rates in roller bottles, up to 40 rpm). The IgG concentrations ascitic fluid presented concentrations 10 to 20 times higher thanthose obtained in culture supernatants. However, since the volumes of culture supernatant obtained in relatively simple, small-scale culture systems are significantly higher than thoseof mice ascitic fluids, the replacement of in vivoproduction for in vitroIgG production in stirred systems, using serum-free media, seems to be feasible. Nevertheless, additional experiments should be carried out to confirm the feasibility of switching the production of anti-dengue type 2 monoclonal antibodies for in vitrosystems, using the process proposed in this work.

Abstract: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have potential for applications in dentistry due to bactericidal action and biocompatibility. Farnesol (FAR) is an alcohol found in essential oils of citrus fruits and it has antibacterial/antibiofilm activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial, antibiofilm activities and the cytotoxicity of AgNPs and FAR solutions used as root canal disinfectant. The study was divided into two publications. In Publication 1, antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans or Pseudomonas aeruginosa, by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum microbicidal concentration (MMC) by microdilution method and rezasurin staining. The anti-biofilm activity was performed by crystal violet assay. The anti-biofilm adhesion ability was evaluated using bovine root dentine blocks after treating them with tested solutions for 3 min. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis and CFU mL-1 log 10 counting were performed. Data were statistically analyzed (α=0.05). The antibacterial test against planktonic cells of E. faecalis showed MIC/MMC values of 42.5/50μM and 0.85/1.0% for AgNPs and FAR, respectively. The values of MIC/MMC of AgNPs and FAR for C. albicans were 27.5/37.5μM and 1.75/2.5% and for P. aeruginosa were 32.5/32.5μM and 2.5/2.75%, respectively.

Full textThe phospholipase (PLA2) is considered a key enzyme in the metabolism of phospholipids, which are the main constitutes of cellular membranes. Alterations in PLA2 activity have been reported in the brain and blood cells of psychiatric patients and also in biological matrixes like rat brain tissues and cultures of neuron cells. Inhibition of PLA2 activity in primary cultures of rat neurons resulted in neurotoxicity, which demonstrates the role of PLA2 in survival processes and neuronal development. In this study, a radioenzymatic assay was standardized to detect the activity of the three main groups of PLA2, which are the calcium dependent secretory PLA2 (sPLA2), the cytosolic calcium dependent PLA2 (cPLA2) and the intracellular calcium independent PLA2 (iPLA2), in the culture of neurons. Critical variables for the enzymatic assay were tested and from the results the method used was modified. Our findings demonstrate that there is a predominance of iPLA2 subtype (71%) in cultures of rat neurons. So therefore we present an in vitro model which aims to determine the main activity of PLA2 subtypes and can be considered an investigative tool for comprehending the mechanisms involved in neuropsychiatric disorders that show alterations in PLA2 activity. Furthermore, the effects of new chemical and traditional substances, such as the drugs used in psychiatric treatments, can be evidenced in the neurons by the use of laboratorial models based on studies of neuron cultures.

Full textResumo: O carcinoma espinocelular (CEC) representa mais de 95% de todas as neoplasias malignas que acometem a cavidade oral e muitas vezes estes tumores são precedidos por alterações clínicas que apresentam um evidente potencial de transformação maligna, as quais são chamadas de desordens potencialmente malignas orais (DPMOs). Dentre estas, a leucoplasia oral (LO) possui taxa de transformação maligna que varia de 0,2% até 17,5%; contudo, uma outra DPMO conhecida como leucoplasia verrucosa proliferativa (LVP) apresenta um comportamento persistente e progressivo para malignidade, com taxa de transformação maligna maior que 70%. Diferente da LO, fator de risco como tabaco, álcool e noz de areca não parecem estar associados com o desenvolvimento da LVP. Adicionalmente, a LVP frequentemente apresenta resposta inadequada a todas as modalidades de tratamento, sofre rápida disseminação pelos sítios orais e muitas vezes demonstra recorrência. Estudos recentes sugerem que o infiltrado inflamatório associado às lesões leucoplásicas de paciente com LVP pode estar relacionado a etiologia e/ou comportamento clínico agressivo desta DPMO. Assim, foi realizada uma análise comparativa entre amostras de LO e LVP que consistiu em: (1) avaliar a porcentagem e identificar os subtipos de linfócitos T auxiliares e estado de ativação de linfócitos T citotóxicos, (2) avaliar a densidade e estado de ativação das células dendríticas, e (3) determinar o efeito de produtos solúveis de células displásicas na modul...

Abstract:The Objective of this study was to evaluate the topography and surface biofilm formation of feldspathic ceramics obtained through two techniques of preparation and two surface treatments, as well as to evaluate the viability of human gingival fibroblasts (FMM-1) growth on these materials. A total of 52 blocks of each type of feldspathic ceramic were made: VM9 obtained by the stratification technique and Vita Blocs Mark II (VMII) for the CAD/CAM system (both, Vita Zahnfabrik). The blocks' surfaces were standardized in a polishing machine to the dimensions of 4.5 x 4.5 x 1.5 mm and blocks were divided into two surface finishing treatments: polishing with Ceramisté rubbers + polishing with paste; and glaze application + sintering. The Ra and RSm roughness parameters were measured through a contact rugosimeter. Samples were sterilized and then contaminated (n = 10) for initial heterotypic biofilm formation of S. mutans, S. sanguinis and C. albicans, whose adherence was quantified by counting colony forming units (CFU/mL). The MTT test was used to evaluate the cellular viability of the materials to the growth of human gingival fibroblasts (FMM-1) in 24 h and 7 days (n=12). Qualitative analyzes of the specimens' surface were performed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3D optical profilometry. Surface free energy (SFE) was calculated from goniometry analyzes of polar and apolar liquids in 10 samples of 15 x 15 x 1.5 mm. The results of Ra, RSm and ELS were subjected to 2-way ANOVA (Material x surface treatment) followed by Tukey's test (both, α=95%), and UFC (material x surface treatment x microorganisms) and MTT (material x surfacetreatment x time) data were evaluated by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=95%).

Resumo: O Mosaico pigmentar tipo Ito é uma alteração cutânea frequente, caracterizada por hipopigmentação da pele que, na maioria dos casos, segue o padrão linhas de Blaschko, geralmente associada a anomalias extracutâneas, sobretudo anomalias do Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC). Sugere-se que esse padrão decorre da presença e migração de duas linhagens celulares no período embrionário, com diferente expressão de genes associados à pigmentação, que darão origem à epiderme e ao SNC no feto. Diversos tipos de mosaicismo foram associados ao quadro e acredita-se que os casos em que não houve tal detecção se devam à limitação das células analisadas. Devido à função, origem embrionária e migração celular, possivelmente o mosaicismo seria melhor identificado em melanócitos e queratinócitos, principalmente na presença de alterações no SNC, as alterações poderiam ter envolvimento com o prognóstico neurológico. Neste estudo foi realizada análise citogenética de linfócitos e fibroblastos de 15 indivíduos com mosaico pigmentar do tipo Ito. Os objetivos incluíram padronizar a cultura de células de melanócitos e queratinócitos, visando analisar o cariótipo desses indivíduos nesses tipos celulares. O estudo citogenético nesses tipos celulares, porém, não pode ser realizado devido à dificuldade de se obter metáfases adequadas para análise. Assim, foi desenvolvido protocolo de cultura e análise citogenética em queratinócitos, o qual funcionou adequadamente em indivíduos testes, porém sem resultado semelhante nos sujeitos de pesquisa. A preparação cromossômica a partir de melanócitos, por outro lado, não se mostrou adequada. Na análise de linfócitos e fibroblastos, foram encontradas alterações cromossômicas diferentes em quatro indivíduos (26% da casuística), presentes em ambos os tipos celulares. Não foram observadas divergências nas amostras a partir de pele hipo e normopigmentadas. Essas alterações incluíram um caso de t(X;21) regular, para o qual foram realizados estudos complementares de forma a aprimorar a investigação laboratorial, sendo análise por array-CGH, FISH e estudo de inativação de X. Um caso se tratou de trissomia 18 em mosaico, nesse indivíduo não foi possível a coleta de biópsia, porém foi realizado FISH interfásico em células da mucosa oral. Houve também um caso de r(22) em mosaico, o único que apresentou diferença na proporção de células alteradas em fibroblastos e linfócitos, possivelmente por maior instabilidade in vitro de cromossomos em anel em culturas de longa duração. O último caso alterado se refere a um cromossomo marcador, também em mosaico. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com dados da literatura prévia. Assim, apenas um caso apresentou alteração cromossômica não em mosaico, representada por uma translocação X/autossomo regular, para a qual as técnicas de estudo utilizadas não detectaram justificativa para o padrão de mosaicismo observado clinicamente
Abstract: Pigmentary mosaicism of Ito type is a skin abnormality often characterized by hypopigmentation of the skin following, in most cases, the Blaschko lines, usually associated with extracutaneous abnormalities, especially abnormalities of the central nervous system (CNS). It is suggested that this pattern arises from the presence and migration of two cell lineages in the embryonic period, with different expression of genes associated with pigmentation, which will give rise to the epidermis and the CNS in the fetus. Several types of mosaicism have been associated with this disorder. In cases in which no mosaicismo was detected, it is believed that this may be secondary to the limitation of the cells analyzed. Due to the function and embryonic cell migration, in individuals with pigmentary mosaicism, a cytogenetic mosaicism possibly would be better identified in melanocytes and keratinocytes, especially in the presence of changes in the CNS. Besides, these changes could prognose the neurological outcome. This study comprehended cytogenetic analysis of lymphocytes and fibroblasts from 15 individuals with pigmentary mosaicism of Ito type. The targets included standardize the cell culture of melanocytes and keratinocytes in order to analyze the karyotype of these individuals in these cell types. The cytogenetic study in these cell types, however, was not possible due to difficulties in obtaining adequate metaphases for analysis. Given this difficulty, another cell type (fibroblasts) was studied. In the end, chromosomal abnormalities in lymphocytes and fibroblasts were identified in four individuals. These included one case of a balanced traslocation X/21, one case of trisomy 18 mosaicism, one case of a ring 22 mosaic and one marker chromosome, also in mosaic. Considering the results of cytogenetic lymphocytes and fibroblasts, additional studies were undertaken to enhance the laboratory investigation of these cases, including array-CGH, FISH and study of X inactivation. The results were compared with previous literature data. In conclusion, we developed protocol for culture and cytogenetic analysis in keratinocytes, which worked well on test subjects, but without similar results in study subjects. The chromosome preparation from melanocytes, however, was not adequate. There were no differences in samples from different area of skin. Only one case showed different proportion of cells altered in fibroblasts and lymphocytes, possibly due to instability of ring chromosomes in long duration cultures. Finally, only one case showed no chromosomal abnormality in mosaic, represented by a regular translocation X/autosome, for which the techniques used to study detected no explanation for the pattern of mosaicism observed clinically

Resumo: As lesões salivares tumorais compostas por dupla população celular (epitelial e mioepitelial) são consideradas originárias do ducto intercalado e estas lesões são subdivididas em diversas entidades que apresentam sobreposição morfológica, com delimitações entre elas nem sempre nítidas. Entre as neoplasias benignas estão o adenoma pleomórfico (AP) e o adenoma de células basais (ACB). Recentemente foi descrita uma nova entidade tumoral benigna, com composição epitelial e mioepitelial, denominada de lesão do ducto intercalado (LDI). Diante disso, o nosso primeiro objetivo foi analisar os perfis morfológicos e imuno-histoquímicos de LDIs e ACBs classificados em tubulares (ACB-T) e não tubulares (ACB-NT) para verificar se as LDIs e ACB-Ts representam entidades distintas. Ainda, dado o papel crítico da célula mioepitelial na morfogênese das lesões tumorais salivares histogeneticamente relacionadas ao ducto intercalado, nosso segundo objetivo foi avaliar in vitro a influência de fatores do microambiente tumoral (proteínas da matriz extracelular e fatores de crescimento) sobre a morfologia, viabilidade e proliferação de células mioepiteliais advindas de AP. Para a análise morfológica e imuno-histoquímica, foram estudados oito casos de LDIs, nove ACBs-T e 19 ACBs-NT. Todos os ACB-T continham áreas LDI-like, enquanto nos ACB-NT estas eram raras e escassas. As células luminais das LDIs e ACBs-T exibiram positividade para CK7, lisozima, S100 e DOG1. No grupo ACB-NT, poucas células luminais mostraram tal expressão, sendo principalmente positivas para CK14. As células mioepiteliais das LDIs, ACB-T e ACB-NT foram positivas para CK14, calponina, AML e p63, mas essas eram mais numerosas nos ACBs. No estudo in vitro, a morfologia e diferenciação das células mioepiteliais foram avaliadas qualitativamente por imunofluorescência indireta (expressão da vimentina e AML, respectivamente). As células mioepiteliais exibiram morfologia poliédrica em todas as matrizes, independentemente da suplementação do fator de crescimento. AML foi imunoexpressa de forma heterogênea nas células mioepiteliais, porém houve aumento da expressão desta proteína quando acrescentado o TGF- ?1, independentemente do tipo de matriz usada. TGF- ?1 também aumentou significantemente a viabilidade das células mioepiteliais cultivadas na matriz fibronectina. Conclusões: as LDI, ACB-T e ACB-NT formam um continuum de lesões onde as LDIs estão estreitamente relacionadas com o ACB-T, visto que em ambos o imunofenótipo das células luminais e mioepiteliais é semelhante àquele observado nos ductos intercalados. A principal diferença entre LDI e ACB-T é a quantidade de células mioepiteliais, que é maior no último. Além disso, nossos resultados indicam que pelo menos alguns ACBs podem surgir via LDI. Os estudos em cultura de células sugerem que as diferentes matrizes celulares não influenciam a morfologia e diferenciação da célula mioepitelial. Dentre os fatores de crescimento estudados apenas TGF- ?1 associou-se com aumento da expressão de AML (diferenciação celular) e aumentou significantemente a viabilidade celular associado à matriz fibronectina
Abstract: Salivary tumor lesions composed of dual cell population (epithelial and myoepithelial) are considered to originate from the intercalated duct. These lesions are subdivided into several entities that share morphological features. Among the benign tumors are pleomorphic adenomas (PA) and basal cell adenoma (BCA). Recently, a new entity was described that is a benign tumor with epithelial and myoepithelial composition, called intercalated duct lesion (IDL). Our first objective was to analyze the morphological and immunohistochemical profiles of IDLs and BCAs classified into tubular (T-BCA) and non-tubular subtypes (NT-BCA), to determine whether or not IDL and tubular BCA represent distinct entities. Also, given the critical role of myoepithelial cells in the morphogenesis of the salivary tumor lesions histogenetically related to the intercalated duct, our second objective was to evaluate in vitro the influence of tumor microenvironment factors (extracellular matrix proteins and growth factors) on the morphology, viability and proliferation of myoepithelial cells arisen from PA . Eight IDLs, nine tubular BCAs and 19 non-tubular BCAs were studied by immunohistochemical technique. All tubular BCAs contained IDL-like areas, which represented 20-70% of the tumor. In non-tubular BCA, IDL-like areas were occasional and small (<5%). One patient presented IDLs, tubular BCAs and IDL/tubular BCA combined lesions. Luminal ductal cells of IDLs and tubular BCAs exhibited positivity for CK7, lysozyme, S100 and DOG1. In the non-tubular BCA group, few luminal cells exhibited such immunoprofile; they were mainly CK14-positive. Basal/myoepithelial cells of IDLs, tubular BCAs and non-tubular BCAs were positive for CK14, calponin, ?-SMA and p63; they were more numerous in BCA lesions. The in vitro study analyzed morphology and differentiation of myoepithelial cells by vimentin and SMA expressions, respectively, which were qualitatively assessed using indirect immunofluorescence. Myoepithelial cells showed polyhedral morphology in all extra cellular matrixes regardless of the supplementation of growth factors. These cells expressed SMA heterogeneously but when TGF- ?1 was added such expression increased. This modification did not show relationship with the type of extracellular matix. The viability of myoepithelial cells cultured on fibronectin matrix increased significantly with addition of TGF - ?1. Conclusions: IDL, tubular BCA and non-tubular BCA form a continuum of lesions in which IDLs are related closely to tubular BCA. In both, the immunoprofile of luminal and myoepithelial cells recapitulates the normal intercalated duct. The difference between the adenoma-like subset of IDLs and tubular BCA rests mainly on the larger numbers of myoepithelial cells in the latter. Our findings indicate that at least some BCAs can arise via IDLs. The cell culture studies suggest that the different matrixes do not influence the morphology and differentiation of myoepithelial cells. Among the growth factors studied, only TGF - ?1 was associated with an increased expression of SMA (cell differentiation) and a significant increase of the cellular viability associated with the fibronectin matrix

Resumo: O Diabetes Mellitus tipo II (DMT2) é uma doença caracterizada pela diminuição da sensibilidade à insulina e consequente prejuízo na homeostasia glicêmica. Estudos recentes mostraram que a melatonina, um hormônio produzido pela glândula pineal, melhora a tolerância à glicose e a resistência à insulina, diminui a expressão de proteínas ligadas à gliconeogênese hepática (G6Pase e PEPCK) e reduz a apoptose de células beta pancreáticas in vivo. Entretanto, ainda não estava claro se a melatonina conseguia, de fato, reverter in situ as ações lipotóxicas dos ácidos graxos saturados em células beta pancreáticas e na musculatura esquelética, e se podia diminuir a expressão dos genes reguladores da gliconeogênese hepática. Para responder a esse questionamento, utilizamos culturas celulares de insulinoma (MIN6), de músculo esquelético (miotubos de L6) e de hepatoma (HepG2). Os resultados mostraram que a melatonina reverte a resistência à insulina gerada por palmitato em miotubos de L6, mas somente em passagens baixas, não diminui a apoptose em MIN6 e não altera a expressão do G6pc, o gene que codifica a G6Pase, em HepG2
Abstract: Type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by decrease of insulin sensitivity, resulting impairment glucose homeostasis. Recent studies have shown that melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland, improves glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, reduce the expression of hepatic gluconeogenesis proteins (G6Pase and PEPCK) and diminish pancreatic beta cell apoptosis in vivo. However, it was unclear if melatonin could reverse the lipotoxic actions of saturated fatty acid in pancreatic beta cells and skeletal muscle, and if melatonin could decrease the expression of regulatory genes of hepatic gluconeogenesis in situ. To answer this question, we used cell cultures of insulinoma (MIN6), skeletal muscle (L6 myotubes) and hepatoma (HepG2). The results showed that melatonin reverses palmitate insulin resistance in L6 myotubes, but only at low passages, melatonin does not decrease apoptosis in MIN6 and does not alter the expression of G6pc, the encoding gene of G6Pase, in culture cell of HepG2

Full textIntroduction: Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are capable of self-renewal, that is, they are capable of multiplying maintaining their undifferentiated state, which provides an active replacement of their population in a constant way in the tissues; stem cells also have the ability to differentiate into several cell types. Thus, it is believed that stem cells present in tissues have a regenerative role when they suffer an injury. The number of studies involving the use of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in regenerative medicine has increased and the progress of this therapy is link to the identification of mechanisms and molecules that control and mediate the specific lineage\'s differentiation. Collagen is among these molecules and it is a structural protein responsible for the mechanical properties, shape and tissue organization. Among 28 types of collagen, type V (Col V) and XI are considered nucleators of fibrillogenesis and they modulate cell adhesion and cell proliferation. In addition, Col V is highly expressed in embryonic tissue, suggesting that it may act on cell-matrix interaction in remodeling and repair of damaged tissues such as cartilage. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common arthropathy among the diseases with joint involvement and, it has no effective treatment that results in surgical intervention in advanced cases. Recent studies show that ADSCs would be an alternative in restoring cartilaginous tissue. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the response of ADSCs to the Col V stimulus in vitro and the effect of these autologous cells on the regeneration of articular cartilage of rabbits with OA. Methods: ADSCs from rabbit (CEUA 123/14) were cultured with Col V to evaluate the synthesis of the main components of the cartilaginous tissue as proteoglycans, collagen type II. The preservation of the cellular phenotype was evaluated through the collagen I, II, III, CD34 and vimentin expression and COL2A1, ACAN and POU5F1 genes. Rabbits (n=24) were submitted to OA induction though partial meniscectomy and divided into the following groups: OA (n=8), without treatment; OA/ADSCs (n=8), treated with monthly injections of ADSCs and OA/ADSCs/V (n=8), monthly injections of ADSCs previously treated with Col V. Joints were collected after 22 weeks, decalcified and stained with H&E for cellular histomorphometry and cartilage thickness. Safranin O/fast green staining was used for proteoglycan evaluation and immunostaining for collagen type II and Fas-L expression using Image Pro Plus 6.0 software. Results: ADSCs stimulated with Col V were negative for collagen I, III and CD34 and positive for vimentin, total collagen and proteoglycans in vitro. Furthermore, a significant increase in the expression of collagen II, COL2A1 and, ACAN genes was obtained, but the POU5F1 gene expression was not significant after stimulation. Morphological analysis of cartilage indicated increased in the number of chondrocytes, cartilage thickness, and decrease in loss of proteoglycans in the OA/ADSCs/V and OA/ADSCs groups, compared to the OA group. In addition, an increase in the amount of collagen II and decrease of apoptotic chondrocytes in the OA/ADSCs/V group was observed. Conclusion: Col V acts as a mediator of chondrogenesis in vitro stimulating collagen II, proteoglycans and COL2A1, ACAN genes expression. Therapy with Col V-stimulated ADSCs significantly attenuate the osteoarthritic process in rabbits, suggesting a new perspective for the treatment of OA

A utilização do ouro na forma nanoparticulada vem sendo uma forma promissora alternativa para o tratamento de condições inflamatórias. Devido as suas propriedades anti-inflamatórias se justifica a possibilidade do emprego das nanopartículas de ouro (AuNPs) no tratamento de inflamações pulpares. Entretanto, para utilização na Odontologia, pouco se sabe sobre o efeito real das AuNPs sobre a polpa dental e seus componentes celulares. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: caracterizar as nanopartículas de ouro sintetizadas, avaliar seu potencial citotóxico, atividade antimicrobiana e anti-inflamatória. Para a caracterização, foram realizados testes de espectroscopia de absorção no ultravioleta-visível (UV–VIS), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (FEG–SEM) e potencial Zeta. O potencial citotóxico foi avaliado em cultura de células indiferenciadas da polpa dental humana. Os grupos experimentais avaliados foram: nanopartículas de ouro reduzidas com citrato de sódio (Au@CS); nanopartículas de ouro revestidas com polivinilpirrolidona (Au@CS+PVP), ambas em diferentes concentrações (100; 50; 25; 12,5; 6,25 e 3,12 μg/mL); citrato de sódio (agente redutor e surfactante) e PVP (agente estabilizante). Para avaliar o potencial citotóxico, foram analisados parâmetros de viabilidade, morfologia e potencial de reparo celular. A capacidade antimicrobiana foi analisada através dos testes de difusão em ágar e microdiluição. O potencial anti-inflamatório foi avaliado através do efeito das AuNPs na liberação de mediadores inflamatórios (TNF-α) em macrófagos. Os dados para as variáveis quantitativas paramétricas foram analisados usando a análise de variância de uma via (ANOVA), e aplicado pós-teste de Tukey. Os dados quantitativos não paramétricos e qualitativos ordinais foram analisados usando a análise de Kruskal-Wallis com pós teste de Dunn. Significância estatística foi estabelecida em p<0,05. Os resultados mostraram que as dispersões coloidais de nanopartículas sintetizadas possuem formato esférico, diâmetro médio aproximado de 20 nm e são altamente estáveis. Os grupos Au@CS e Au@CS+PVP, nas concentrações analisadas, não apresentaram potencial citotóxico para as células indiferenciadas da polpa dental humana, sem redução da viabilidade celular e alteração morfológica para os períodos analisados. As nanopartículas não interferiram na proliferação e migração celular, mas apresentaram aumento na quantidade de proteínas para as menores concentrações de Au@CS+PVP. As nanopartículas de ouro nas concentrações testadas não apresentaram halos de inibição ou redução do crescimento microbiano de maneira expressiva. As Au@CS demonstraram potencial anti-inflamatório em sua maior concentração avaliada (100 μg/mL) e as Au@CS+PVP nas duas maiores concentrações (50 e 100 μg/mL). Os resultados obtidos sugerem que, nas condições experimentais do trabalho aqui apresentado, as Au@CS e Au@CS+PVP não foram citotóxicas e apresentam potencial anti-inflamatório discreto. As Au@CS não apresentam potencial antimicrobiano.
The use of gold in nanoparticulate form has been an promising alternative way to treat inflammatory conditions. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, the possibility of the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the treatment of pulpal inflammation is justified. However, for use in dentistry, little is known about the actual effect of AuNPs on dental pulp and its cellular components. The objectives of this study were: to characterize the synthesized gold nanoparticles, to evaluate their cytotoxic potential, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. For the characterization, were performed ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-VIS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (FEG–SEM) and Zeta potential. The cytotoxic potential was evaluated in culture of undifferentiated cells of the human dental pulp. The experimental groups evaluated were: gold nanoparticles reduced with sodium citrate (Au@CS); gold nanoparticles coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (Au@CS+PVP), both at different concentrations (100; 50; 25; 12,5; 6,25 and 3,12 μg/mL); sodium citrate (reducing agent and surfactant) and PVP (stabilizing agent). To evaluate the cytotoxic potential, parameters of viability, morphology and cell repair potential were analyzed. The antimicrobial capacity was analyzed through agar diffusion test and microdilution. The anti-inflammatory potential was evaluated through the effect of AuNPs on the release of inflammatory mediators (TNF-α) in macrophages. Data for the parametric quantitative variables were analyzed using one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and Tukey's post-test. Non-parametric quantitative data and ordinal qualitative data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis analysis with Dunn's post-test. Statistical significance was set at p<0,05. The results showed that the colloidal dispersions of synthesized nanoparticles have a spherical shape, average diameter of approximately 20 nm and are highly stable. The groups Au@CS and Au@CS+PVP, in the evaluated concentrations, showed no cytotoxic potential for the undifferentiated cells of the human dental pulp, with no reduction of cell viability and morphological alteration for the analyzed periods. The nanoparticles did not interfere in cell proliferation and migration, but showed an increase in the amount of proteins for the lowest concentrations of Au@CS+PVP. Nanoparticles of gold at the concentrations evaluated did not present halos of inhibition or reduction of microbial growth in an expressive way. Au@CS showed anti-inflammatory potential at its highest concentration (100 μg/mL) and Au@CS+PVP at the two highest concentrations (50 and 100 μg/mL). The results suggest that, in the experimental conditions of the study presented here, Au@CS and Au@CS+PVP were not cytotoxic and have a discrete anti-inflammatory potential. Au@CS did not present antimicrobial potential.

O material e metodo constituiu-se de tres experimentos. No primeiro deles, 12 garrafas de cultura de queratinocitos foram preparadas ate atingir-se a confluencia desejada e divididas em quatro grupos (com e sem uso de DIVISO, com e sem hipoxia). Foram colhidas amostras do meio de cultura para dosagem do malonaldeido em diferentes fases do experimento: a) pre-experimento, b) 24 horas apos o inicio da privacao de glicose (antes da provocacao de hipoxia), c) 24 horas apos o inicio da privacao de glicose e imediatamente depois da provocacao de hipoxia, d) 48 horas apos a privacao de glicose (24 horas apos a hipoxia). O Experimento 2 constituiu-se das 12 garrafas do final do primeiro experimento e outras 12 garrafas que foram utilizadas como controle, sendo que foi colhido o material celular das 24 garrafas e realizada dosagem do MDA no homogeneizado celular de cada garrafa. O Experimento 3 foi realizado com 80 garrafas divididas em 10 grupos (meio de cultura com e sem glicose, uso ou nao de DIVISO, realizacao de hipoxia ou nao, alem das associacoes entre esses fatores), das quais foi colhido e homogeneizado o material celular para dosagem do MDA. A analise estatistica realizada com os resultados dos tres experimentos mostrou que o DIVISO foi eficiente na reducao do estresse oxidativo de culturas de queratinocitos, causado pela privacao de glicose e hipoxia, avaliado pelos valores de MDA comparando-se aos grupos controle

Full textBioprocesses of mammalian cell culture have become essential for the production of therapeutic recombinant proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAb). However, the physiological state of the cells and the quality of the mAb produced, in particular their glycosylation, may vary during the process, and may lead to the alteration of the safety and efficacy of the final product. Consequently, the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative has encouraged the development of online monitoring techniques, with the aim to better control the process and ensure the quality of the final product. In this context, this thesis proposes innovative approaches for online monitoring of CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells bioreactor cultures, by using three types of in situ spectroscopic measurements (dielectric, Raman, near infrared (NIR)). The first chapter presents a novel approach to predict in real-time one of the major cell physiological state parameters, the specific growth rate (µ). Based on online permittivity measured by in situ dielectric spectroscopy, the cell concentration was estimated and µ was calculated in real-time, making possible to detect the critical moment when µ begins to decrease significantly. Compared to an offline approach, this online approach allowed to maintain the cells in a stable physiological state, ensuring the glycosylation of the mAb produced in feed-harvest cultures. The second chapter shows the use of in situ NIR and Raman spectroscopies combined with chemometric methods. For the first time, the performances of these two spectroscopies were compared in parallel in the same cultures. Online models were developed to predict in real-time the concentration of different parameters (viable cells, glucose, lactate, glutamine, ammonium ions and antibodies). The evaluation of these models by the multivariate Figures of Merit (FOM) revealed some of the advantages of Raman spectroscopy. The combination of the two spectroscopies by various data fusion strategies has also been evaluated. In the third chapter, the interest of Raman spectroscopy for the online monitoring of both the quantity and the glycosylation of the mAb was demonstrated. Models were developed for online prediction of both macroheterogeneity (glycosylation site occupancy) and microheterogeneity (glycan structures) of mAb glycosylation in batch and feed-harvest cultures. The last chapter used models previously developed for NIR and dielectric spectroscopies, to integrate into a “soft sensor” by combining with cell metabolic and mass balance equations. This “soft sensor”, implemented in a fed-batch cell culture for the automatic control of the feed rate, leads to an increased mAb productivity and better mAb glycosylation

A realização de ensaios de citotoxicidade in vitro e essencial na caracterizacao inicial da biocompatibilidade de biomateriais que visam aplicacao clinica. Pela exposicao de uma cultura celular ao contato direto, indireto ou ao extrato de determinado material de interesse e possivel caracterizar a presenca e severidade de efeito citotoxico resultante. Porem, a sensibilidade dos diferentes ensaios e variavel e influenciada por inumeros fatores, relacionados as proprias condicoes de ensaio utilizadas e parametros celulares avaliados, bem como a natureza do biomaterial em analise. Assim, o estudo comparativo desses ensaios in vitro e de suas variacoes metodologicas contribui para o melhor entendimento dos protocolos empregados atualmente, e de maior relevancia devido as questoes eticas relativas ao uso de animais em ensaios biologicos. Esse estudo buscou, portanto, analisar comparativamente a influencia de diferentes condicoes de ensaio na sensibilidade dos testes de citotoxicidade - contato direto, indireto (difusao em agar) e por extrato - segundo norma ISO 10993:5 (2009), alem de avaliar a correlacao entre os resultados desses ensaios e dos parametros de citotoxicidade utilizados. Para tal, utilizou-se linhagem celular Vero e materiais conhecidamente nao citotoxicos (papel filtro) e citotoxicos (latex) como referenciais. Os parametros celulares de morfologia, proliferacao e viabilidade foram avaliados, qualitativa e/ou quantitativamente, apos 24 h, 48 h, 72 h e 120 h de ensaio. Todos os ensaios foram eficazes na avaliacao de citotoxicidade, quando analisados os parametros celulares resultantes da interacao. Porem, para a referencia citotoxica, o efeito sobre as celulas foi distinto entre os ensaios apos 24 h de exposicao, sendo mais pronunciado no ensaio por extrato. Alem disso, o ensaio de contato direto apresentou maior variabilidade quanto a viabilidade e proliferacao celular. Verificou-se ainda, que para maiores tempos de exposicao ha reducao na viabilidade celular, inclusive para amostras nao citotoxicas, independente do ensaio. A avaliacao de citotoxicidade de representantes das tres principais classes de biomateriais - ¿À-TCP (ceramica), aco AISI 316L (metal), e gelatina reticulada (polimero), segundo mesmos ensaios, porem restritos aos tempos de 24 h e 48 h, evidenciaram a nao citotoxicidade dos dois primeiros. Porem, o ensaio por contato direto nao foi o mais adequado na avaliacao do biomaterial ceramico, devido a movimentacao da amostra, dando preferencia nesse caso aos demais ensaios. Ja para a amostra metalica, apesar da influencia de seu peso no contato direto os resultados foram representativos da ausencia de citotoxicidade. Assim, podendo ser avaliado por qualquer dos ensaios. O ensaio por extrato foi o de maior sensibilidade na deteccao do potencial citotoxico da gelatina, esse podendo ser indicado como metodo de escolha no estudo de polimeros reticulados. Como a sensibilidade entre os ensaios pode variar para um mesmo tempo de exposicao e ser influenciada pelo tipo de material em analise, principalmente quando este apresenta algum potencial citotoxico, e necessario cautela na escolha do tipo de ensaio utilizado para avaliacoes de citotoxicidade. Dessa maneira, a integracao entre resultados provenientes da avaliacao de diferentes condicoes de ensaio e parametros celulares, qualitativos e quantitativos, bem como relacionados ao comprometimento fisico/morfologico e funcional, permite maior confiabilidade na caracterizacao previa da presenca e severidade de citotoxicidade in vitro de biomateriais.
The fulfilment of in vitro cytotoxicity assays is essential for initial characterization of biocompatibility of biomaterials that are intended for clinical application. By exposure of a cell culture to direct or indirect contact with certain material of interest, or of its extract it is possible to characterize the resulting cytotoxicity effects. However, the sensitivity of the tests is variable and influenced by many factors, related to the different test conditions used and cellular parameters evaluated, as well as the nature of the biomaterial under assessment. Thus, the comparative study of these assays and its methodological variations contribute to a better understanding of the protocols currently employed. And even more relevant, in face of the ethical issues related to animal use in biological assays. Therefore, this study seeks to comparatively analyze the influence of different test conditions on the sensitivity of the cytotoxicity tests, by direct, indirect contact (agar diffusion) and for extract, according to ISO 10993: 5 (2009) and to evaluate the correlation between the results of those assays and the parameters used to detect the cytotoxicity. To this end, the study employed the Vero cell line and known non-cytotoxic (filter paper) and cytotoxic (latex) materials as reference. The parameters evaluated were cell morphology, proliferation and viability, thru qualitative and quantitative means, after 24h, 48h, 72h and 120 hours of assay duration. All assays were effective in the evaluation of cytotoxicity, resulting from the interaction. However, for the cytotoxic reference, the effect on the cells was different between assays after 24 hours of exposure and, also more pronounced for the extract assay. Besides that, the direct contact assay showed greater variability for both the cell viability and proliferation data. It was also found that for longer exposure times there is a decrease in cell viability, for all samples, including the non-cytotoxic one, and it is not influenced by the type of assay. Cytotoxicity evaluation of representatives of the three main biomaterials classes - â-TCP (ceramic), steel AISI 316L (metal), and crosslinked-gelatin (polymer) ¿ under the same conditions, yet restricted to 24h and 48h of exposure time, showed that the first two samples mentioned are non-cytotoxic. However, the direct contact assay was not the most adequate to evaluate the ceramic biomaterial, due to sample movement, preference being given in this case to the use of the other assays. For the metal, despite the influence of their weight, while in direct contact, the results where representative of the absence of cytotoxicity. Thus, all assays can be used in its evaluation. The extract assay was the most sensitive in detecting the potential cytotoxic effect of the crosslinked-gelatin, and could possibly be indicated as the method of choice when studying crosslinked polymers. Since the sensitivity between assays may vary for the same exposure time and be influenced by the type of material under analysis, especially when it presents a potential cytotoxicity; caution is required when selecting the assay for cytotoxic evaluation. Therefore, combining the results from different assay conditions and cellular parameters, qualitative and quantitative, as well as related to the physical / morphological and functional impairments, allows for greater reliability in the initial biomaterial characterization of in vitro cytotoxicity regarding their presence and severity.

Resumo: Endodontia em dentes decíduos é um procedimento de suma importância para manter a integridade e saúde dos dentes e tecidos de suporte. Sendo assim, o uso de materiais obturadores de canais radiculares que apresente o máximo de propriedades desejáveis é indispensável. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a citotoxicidade de diferentes materiais obturadores em fibroblastos do ligamento periodontal humano (PDL) e em células osteoblásticas de osteossarcoma humano (Saos-2). Os fibroblastos foram cultivados em meio de cultura (meio Eagle modificado por Dulbeco - DMEM) suplementado com 1% soro fetal bovino (FBS) e antibióticos. Os osteoblastos foram cultivados em meio de cultura McCoy¿s suplementado com 15% FBS e antibióticos. Próximos de atingir a confluência, as células foram plaqueadas na concentração de 7x103 células por poço e foram expostas aos seguintes materiais, conforme os grupos: G1- Meio de cultura sem material obturador (controle negativo), G2- Dimetiilsulfóxido (DMSO) (controle positivo), G3- Calen®, G4- Calen® associada ao Óxido de Zinco, G5- Calen® associada ao Iodofórmio, G6- Óxido de zinco e eugenol (OZE), G7- Vitapex® e G8- UltraCal®XS. A manipulação dos materiais foi realizada em condições assépticas. A citotoxicidade dos materiais obturadores foi analisada em intervalos de tempos (8, 24 e 48 horas) pelo método de redução MTS e classificado como não citotóxico, citotoxicidade leve, moderada e grave. O grupo controle negativo foi composto apenas por células, sem o uso de material obturador. A análise morfológica das células foi realizada por meio da microscopia de fluorescência. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância dois fatores e ao teste Tukey para comparação entre os grupos, com nível de significância 5%. As imagens obtidas por meio da microscopia de fluorescência foram analisadas de forma descritiva. Os resultados mostraram que para os fibroblastos, Calen®(85,91±10,01), Calen® associada ao Óxido de Zinco (85,91±8,16) e Calen® associada ao Iodofórmio (83,96±13,95) diferiram do controle negativo (100±0) e positivo (19.72±5,70) após 8 horas de exposição. Para os osteoblastos, Calen® associada ao Óxido de Zinco (75,87±19,16), Calen® associada ao Iodofórmio (75,5±12,40) e o OZE (68,71±22,19) foram os únicos grupos que em 8 horas diferiram do controle negativo (100±0) e positivo (22,18±6,77). Pode-se concluir que todos os materiais avaliados, para fibroblastos do ligamento periodontal humano, não foram citotóxicos ao longo do tempo. No entanto, Calen® associada ao Iodofórmio apresentou toxicidade leve em 48 horas para os osteoblastos. Vitapex® foi o material que apresentou menor toxicidade celular nos osteoblastos em 8 e 48 horas, comparando-se os outros materiais avaliados. Calen® associado ao Óxido de zinco, Calen® associado ao Iodofórmio e OZE foram capazes de modificar a morfologia dos fibroblastos, mas para os osteoblastos não foram observadas alterações morfológicas
Abstract: Endodontics in primary teeth is an important procedure to maintain the integrity and health of the teeth and supporting tissues. Using a root canal filling material that shows desirable properties is indispensable. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the root filling materials cytotoxicity on periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDL) and osteoblastic human osteosarcoma cells (Saos-2). Fibroblasts were cultured in culture medium (Dulbeco modified Eagle medium - DMEM) supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics. The osteoblasts were cultured in McCoy's culture medium supplemented with 15% FBS and antibiotics. Next to reach confluence, the cells were plated at a concentration of 7x103 cells per well and were exposed to materials, according to the groups: G1 - culture medium without filling material (negative control); G2- Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (positive control); G3 ¿ Calen®; G4 - Calen® associated with Zinc Oxide; G5 - Calen® associated with Iodoform; G6 ¿ Zinc Oxide and eugenol (ZOE); G7 - Vitapex®; G8 - UltraCal® XS. The materials were prepared under aseptic conditions. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by cell viability at time intervals (8, 24 and 48 h) by MTS assay and rated as non-cytotoxic, mild, moderate and severe cytotoxicity. The negative control group was composed only of cells without the use of filling material. Cells morphological were observed by fluorescence microscopy. Data were submitted to two-way analysis of variance with post-hoc comparisons base on Tukey's multiple comparisons, with the significance level fixed at 5%. The images obtained at fluorescence microscopy were evaluated using descriptive analysis. The results showed that for fibroblasts, Calen®(85.91±10.01), Calen® associated with Zinc Oxide (85.91±8.16) e Calen® associated with Iodoform (83.96±13.95) was differ from the negative control (100±0) and positive (19.72±5.70), at 8 h. For osteoblasts, Calen® associated with Zinc Oxide (75.87±19.16), Calen® associated with Iodoform (75.5±12.40) and ZOE (68.71±22.19) differed from negative control (100±0) and positive (22.18±6.77) in 8 h. It can be concluded that all materials were non- cytotoxic to human fibroblasts cells over time. However, Calen® + Iodoform showed higher cytotoxicity to osteoblasts at 48 h. Vitapex® was the material that showed the less cell cytotoxicity in osteoblasts at 8 and 48 h, compared to the other materials tested. Calen® associated with Zinc Oxide, Calen® associated with Iodoform and ZOE was able to modify the morphology of fibroblasts, but osteoblasts but no morphologic alterations were observed

Full textINTRODUCTION: Immunotherapy based on monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) is a promising strategy for the treatment of HIV-infected individuals. Due their plasticity, using different combinations of cytokines cocktail in vitro it is possible to obtain a heterogeneous MDDCs population. Consequently the capacity of these cells to secrete cytokines and express molecules that participate in antigen presentation varies (MHC, adhesion and costimulatory molecules) and can interfere in the profile and efficacy of the immune response induced by this therapy. A clinical trial was conducted in our laboratory to evaluate a immunotherapy based on dendritic cells sensitized with autologous inactivated HIV for the treatment of antiretroviral naive chronically HIV-infected individuals. Therefore, it was a good opportunity to study deeply the virus production and expansion in vitro and to characterize MDDCs used as a vaccine. OBJECTIVE. To characterize MDDCs in context of their phenotype and function as well as investigating viral production and expansion in autologous and allogenic systems. METHODS: 17 patients underwent apheresis before vaccination and their peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were used for autologous virus production and expansion of the virus was carried out in both autologous and allogenic systems. Monocytes were differentiated into immature MDDCs that were pulsed/or not with autologous chemically (aldrithiol-2) inactivated HIV particles (HIV-AT-2). These pulsed (HIV-AT-2 MDDCs) and non-pulsed (mature MDDCs) cells were then activated by proinflammatory cytokines. Phenotypic (cell surface marker) and functional analysis (phagocytosis, transmigration and cytokines production) of MDDCs and their priming and stimulation of lymphocyte (proliferation, polyfunctionality and cytotoxicity) was performed using flow cytometry. RESULTS. Viral yield was higher when expanded in allogenic compared to autologous system. After stimulation with proinflammatory cytokines, both HIV-AT-2 MDDCs and mature MDDCs presented increased costimulation expression, activation and migratory molecules compared to immature MDDCs. Regarding to functional characterization, we observed that MDDCs were able to phagocytize FITC-Dextran and exhibitted a low migratory potential and low production of Th1 polarizing response cytokines. Moreover we observed reduced cytotoxic activity induced by HIV-AT-2 MDDCs and mature MDDCs. On the other hand we also observed that HIV-AT-2 MDDCs were capable of inducing proliferation and polyfunctionality of autologous CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes compared to mature MDDCs. CONCLUSION. Allogenic system was found to be more efficient in increased viral yield in relation to autologous system. Besides, virus expanded in allogenic system showed a more immunogenic profile. Vaccine product (HIV-AT-2 MDDCs) was able to induce antigen specific polyfunctional response

Para isso, discos (N=62) com rugosidade inferior a 0,2 µm foram confeccionados em zircônia (ZrO2) do tipo Y-TZP (yttriumstabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline) e em titânio (Ti) comercialmente puro, e foram submetidos a um processo de envelhecimento simulado em autoclave a 134ᵒC (pressão de 2 bar) por 20 horas. ZrO2 e Ti envelhecidos foram comparados aos seus homólogos não envelhecidos. Os materiais também foram comparados entre si, nas condições envelhecida e não envelhecida. Para os testes biológicos, os grupos também foram comparados a um controle positivo de poliestireno. Todos os testes, exceto o de rugosidade, foram realizados após a formação de película salivar sobre os discos.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aging of commonly used abutments on their surface physical characteristics (roughness, surface free energy and wettability) and biological properties (oral fibroblasts metabolism and formation of fungal biofilm). For this purpose, discs (N=62) with roughness less than 0.2 μm were made in yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) zirconia (ZrO2) and in commercially pure titanium (Ti), and underwent a simulated aging process in autoclave at 134 °C (pressure of 2 bar) for 20 hours. ZrO2 and Ti were compared to their unaged counterparts. The materials were also compared to each other in the aged and unaged conditions. For the biological tests, the groups were also compared to a positive control of polystyrene. All tests, except roughness, were performed after the formation of salivary film on the discs. The biological tests used were Alamar Blue (n=9) to evaluate the metabolism of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and colony counting test (n=9) to verify the biofilm formation of a reference strain of Candida albicans (ATCC90028) on the materials. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (n=2) was performed to evaluate the morphology of fibroblasts and microorganisms.

Full textAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the selective loss of upper and lower motor neurons (MN). Recently, central glia (astrocytes, microglias and olygodendrocytes) were toxic to the MN, but the molecular aspects have not fully described. In relation to the peripheral glia, electrophysiological changes in the sciatic nerve of ALS animal model in the presymptomatic stage have been reported by our group and early denervation findings in both animal models and patients suggests the participation of Schwann cells (SC) in the retrograde neuronal death of ALS , theory known as dying back. In this context, the SC proved to be able to induce axonal retraction and denervation of the neuromuscular junctions, early events in the disease, possibly occurring in the pre-symptomatic phase. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the influence of SC of pre-symptomatic experimental model and from patient with recent evolution of ALS sporadic form, in the survival and axonal length of MN in vitro and understand the molecular nature of the phenomenon. Highly purified SC cultures were obtained from the sciatic nerve of the animal model and from ALS patient\'s peripheral nerve. MN from the newborn mouse spinal cord were co-cultured with SC and the neurodegeneration was assessed by the presence of the marker Fluoro-Jade C (FJC). MN were also treated with conditioned medium from cultures of SC of the animal model or ALS patients. MN had their neuronal length measured and neuronal degeneration was identified by the presence of the FJC. Several neurotrophic factors were measured in conditioned medium of mice and ALS patient\'s SC cultures by ELISA. The chain reaction quantitative polymerase (qPCR) was performed to detect changes in the SC and peripheral nerve that could be related with dysfunction in the functional unit SC/MN. The MN co-cultured with ALS SC showed a greater number of neurodegenerative profiles compared with MN cocultured with control SC. After treatment with ALS SC conditioned medium, MN showed a reduction in the neuronal length and increased number of cells in neurodegeneration compared with the control group. Lower levels of neurotrophic factors were found in the conditioned medium of ALS SC cultures. Changes in the gene expression of SC and peripheral nerve showed dysfunctions in SC/MN unit, which may be contributing to the neurodegenerative process seen in ALS. In conclusion, the failure of neuroprotection by ALS SC is an important mechanism implicated in the MN cell death, with great therapeutic potential

Full textBioprocesses of mammalian cell culture have become essential for the production of therapeutic recombinant proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAb). However, the physiological state of the cells and the quality of the mAb produced, in particular their glycosylation, may vary during the process, and may lead to the alteration of the safety and efficacy of the final product. Consequently, the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative has encouraged the development of online monitoring techniques, with the aim to better control the process and ensure the quality of the final product. In this context, this thesis proposes innovative approaches for online monitoring of CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells bioreactor cultures, by using three types of in situ spectroscopic measurements (dielectric, Raman, near infrared (NIR)). The first chapter presents a novel approach to predict in real-time one of the major cell physiological state parameters, the specific growth rate (µ). Based on online permittivity measured by in situ dielectric spectroscopy, the cell concentration was estimated and µ was calculated in real-time, making possible to detect the critical moment when µ begins to decrease significantly. Compared to an offline approach, this online approach allowed to maintain the cells in a stable physiological state, ensuring the glycosylation of the mAb produced in feed-harvest cultures. The second chapter shows the use of in situ NIR and Raman spectroscopies combined with chemometric methods. For the first time, the performances of these two spectroscopies were compared in parallel in the same cultures. Online models were developed to predict in real-time the concentration of different parameters (viable cells, glucose, lactate, glutamine, ammonium ions and antibodies). The evaluation of these models by the multivariate Figures of Merit (FOM) revealed some of the advantages of Raman spectroscopy. The combination of the two spectroscopies by various data fusion strategies has also been evaluated. In the third chapter, the interest of Raman spectroscopy for the online monitoring of both the quantity and the glycosylation of the mAb was demonstrated. Models were developed for online prediction of both macroheterogeneity (glycosylation site occupancy) and microheterogeneity (glycan structures) of mAb glycosylation in batch and feed-harvest cultures. The last chapter used models previously developed for NIR and dielectric spectroscopies, to integrate into a “soft sensor” by combining with cell metabolic and mass balance equations. This “soft sensor”, implemented in a fed-batch cell culture for the automatic control of the feed rate, leads to an increased mAb productivity and better mAb glycosylation

Full textThe effectiveness of sunscreens is usually determined by in vivo methods, which use humans, such as Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Immediate Pigment Darkening (IPD), Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) and UVA Protection Factor (UVA-PF). However, these parameters do not reflect the real damaging effects induced by solar radiation on the structures and cellular components as the DNA, lipids and proteins. The aim of this study was to develop in vitro methods with cell culture to assess the photoprotective potential of sunscreens using biological parameters that are changed by UV radiation. The first stage of this study to select the skin cells strain (L929 or HaCaT) that would provide the best relationship between dose of UVA or UVB radiation and induced deleterious effect. This effect was quantified by measuring cell viability, lipid peroxidation and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The best cell culture model was treated with commercial sunscreens two brands with SPF 15- 60, obtained from a local market. Sunscreens samples were applied in a quartz plate placed on top of a microplate filled with cells. The cell viability and lipid peroxidation measured in L929 fibroblasts were the most promising for evaluating the efficacy of sunscreens exposed to UVB radiation and allowed to discriminate the photoprotective potential of formulations with different SPFs. On the other hand, ROS generation expressed in keratinocyte of the HaCaT proved to be a promising biological test for discriminating the effectiveness of sunscreens with different SPFs or SPFs/PPDs exposed to UVA radiation. Currently, companies are adding organic filters in sunscreens that absorb in the UVA region, especially in the UVA-1 range. Some researchers have shown that proteomics is the target for ROS induced by UVA. These ROS decrease the activity of calcineurin (Cn), an enzyme known for its role in T cell recruitment. The release of phosphate anion from substrate by enzyme action, it reduces with increasing exposure of Cn to UVA-1 radiation. Thus, a method was developed with HDFn primary cells for evaluation of photoprotective efficacy of sunscreens in the UVA-1 range, using the measure of Cn activity. The results showed that the reduction of Cn activity was only proportional to the dose of UVA-1 when the HDFn cell homogenate, containing 417.55 ± 8.79 mg/mL protein, was exposed to different doses of UVA-1. When cell cultures were irradiated with different doses of UVA-1, there was no reduction in enzyme activity. In addition, for greater precision in the measurement of enzymatic activity, the homogenates, exposed or not to UVA-1 radiation and protected or not with different sunscreens, they had to be diluted at a ratio of 1:2 in buffer before of phosphate quantification for malachite green. The measure of Cn activity proved to be an efficient test to differentiate photoprotectors added specific organic filters for UVA range (brand B) of those not added these filters (brand A). As well, the assay was able to differentiate the sunscreens of brand B, but with different values of PPD: photoprotector with PPD-15 was not able to prevent the reduction of enzyme activity, similar to the homogenate exposed to UVA light without protection, but differentiated from other PPDs; PPDs 25 and 41 protected the activity of Cn to 34.53 ± 4.15% and 38.19 ± 5.50%, respectively. Thus, the biological parameters tested in this study can serve as additional alternatives for assessing the effectiveness of sunscreens.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a topografia e a formação de biofilme na superfície de cerâmicas feldspáticas obtidas através de duas técnicas de confecção e dois tratamentos de superfície, assim como avaliar a viabilidade do crescimento de fibroblastos gengivais humanos (FMM-1) sobre estes materiais. Foram confeccionados 52 blocos de cada tipo de cerâmica feldspática: VM9 obtida através da técnica da estratificação e cerâmica Vita Blocs Mark II (VMII) para o sistema CAD/CAM (ambas, Vita Zahnfabrik). As superfícies dos blocos foram padronizadas em politriz nas dimensões de 4,5 x 4,5 x 1,5 mm e os blocos foram divididos em dois tratamentos de finalização de superfície: polimento com borrachas Ceramisté + pasta de polimento e aplicação de glaze spray + sinterização. Os parâmetros de rugosidade Ra e Rsm foram mensurados através de um rugosímetro de contato. As amostras foram esterilizadas e, em seguida contaminadas (n=10) para formação de biofilme heterotípico inicial de S. mutans, S. sanguinis e C. albicans, cuja aderência foi quantificada por contagem de unidades formadoras de colônias (UFC/mL). O teste MTT foi empregado para avaliação da viabilidade celular dos materiais ao crescimento de fibroblastos gengivais humanos (FMM-1) em 24 h e 7 dias (n=12). Foram realizadas análises qualitativas da superfície dos espécimes através de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e perfilometria óptica 3D. A energia livre de superfície (ELS) foi calculada a partir de análises de goniômetria com líquidos polar e apolar em 10 amostras de 15 x 1 5 x 1,5 mm. Os resultados de Ra, RSm e ELS foram submetidos à análise de variância ANOVA 2 fatores (material x tratamento de superfície) seguido por teste de Tukey (ambos, α=95%), e os dados de UFC fatores (material x tratamento x micro-organismos) e MTT (material x tratamento x tempo) foram avaliados por ANOVA 3 fatores e teste Tukey (α=95%). As imagens de MEV e perfilometria foram descritas. As cerâmicas polidas apresentaram menor rugosidade (Ra p=0,015; RSm p=0,049) e maior ELS (p=0,00), sendo que a mais alta Ra foi verificada para VM9 glazeada. A aderência bacteriana foi influenciada pela interação de todos os fatores (p=0,018). Os Streptococcus formaram em maior número em todos os materiais, mas sobre VMII polida não houve aderência de C. albicans. Inicialmente, os materiais apresentaram ausência de citotoxicidade, mas a viabilidade celular de todos os grupos foi reduzida após 7 dias (p=0,00). As micrografias mostram que a aderência de micro-organismos ocorreu independente de irregularidades na topografia dos materiais, e as imagens de perfilometria ressaltaram o padrão de ranhuras das amostras polidas e o acúmulo de glaze em “ilhas” nas amostras glazeadas. Foi possível concluir que ambas técnicas de obtenção resultam em cerâmicas feldspáticas biocompatíveis e que a finalização da superfície por polimento resultou em menor rugosidade média, maior ELS e menor aderência de C. albicans.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the topography and surface biofilm formation of feldspathic ceramics obtained through two techniques of preparation and two surface treatments, as well as to evaluate the viability of human gingival fibroblasts (FMM-1) growth on these materials. A total of 52 blocks of each type of feldspathic ceramic were made: VM9 obtained by the stratification technique and Vita Blocs Mark II (VMII) for the CAD/CAM system (both, Vita Zahnfabrik). The blocks’ surfaces were standardized in a polishing machine to the dimensions of 4.5 x 4.5 x 1.5 mm and blocks were divided into two surface finishing treatments: polishing with Ceramisté rubbers + polishing with paste; and glaze application + sintering. The Ra and RSm roughness parameters were measured through a contact rugosimeter. Samples were sterilized and then contaminated (n = 10) for initial heterotypic biofilm formation of S. mutans, S. sanguinis and C. albicans, whose adherence was quantified by counting colony forming units (CFU/mL). The MTT test was used to evaluate the cellular viability of the materials to the growth of human gingival fibroblasts (FMM-1) in 24 h and 7 days (n=12). Qualitative analyzes of the specimens’ surface were performed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3D optical profilometry. Surface free energy (SFE) was calculated from goniometry analyzes of polar and apolar liquids in 10 samples of 15 x 15 x 1.5 mm. The results of Ra, RSm and ELS were subjected to 2-way ANOVA (Material x surface treatment) followed by Tukey’s test (both, α=95%), and UFC (material x surface treatment x microorganisms) and MTT (material x surfacetreatment x time) data were evaluated by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=95%). SEM and profilometry images were described. The polished ceramics presented lower roughness (Ra p=0.015; RSm p=0.049) and higher SFE (p=0.00), with the highest Ra being verified for glazed VM9. Bacterial adherence was influenced by the interaction of all factors (p=0.018). Streptococcus formed in greater number in all materials, but on polished VMII there was no adherence of C. albicans. Initially, the materials showed no cytotoxicity, but the cell viability of all groups was reduced after 7 days (p=0.00). Micrographs showed that microorganisms adherence occurred regardless of irregularities in the topography of the materials, and the profilometry images emphasized the grooved pattern of the polished samples and the glaze accumulation in "islands" in glazed samples. The surface treatments had greater influence than the technique of making the feldsphapatic ceramics. It could be concluded that both obtaining techniques resulted in biocompatible feldsphatic ceramics and that the surface finishing by polishing resulted in lower mean roughness, higher SFE and lower C. albicans adhesion.

Este estudo avaliou a difusão transdentinária e a toxicidade de sistemas adesivos autocondicionantes de diferentes valores de pH sobre células odontoblastóides MDPC-23. Sessenta discos de dentina (0,4 mm de espessura) foram obtidos de terceiros molares humanos hígidos e divididos em 6 grupos após a mensuração de sua condutância hidráulica pelo Flodec. Os discos foram montados em câmaras pulpares in vitro, onde 30.000 células foram plantadas no seu lado pulpar (área dentina exposta 0,28 cm2) e mantidas em cultura por 48 h. Após este período, os sistemas adesivos Clearfil SE Bond, Clearfil Protect Bond, Adper Prompt e Xeno III foram aplicados no lado oclusal dos discos. O sistema adesivo Single Bond foi usado como controle positivo e a solução tampão fosfato como controle negativo. A citotoxicidade foi avaliada após 24 horas pelo teste MTT e a morfologia celular por MEV. A difusão transdentinária foi qualificada por CG/EM. Os valores de MTT para os sistemas autocondicionantes, analisados pelos testes de Kruskall-Wallis e Mann-Whitney, foram estatisticamente diferentes do grupo controle negativo. Houve redução da viabilidade celular de 47,8%; 46,5%; 42,1% e 28,0% para o Clearfil SE Bond, Xeno III, Clearfil Protect Bond e Adper Prompt L-Pop, respectivamente. A redução da viabilidade celular foi inferior ao Single Bond (53,1%) para todos os sistemas. A análise por CG/MS identificou o HEMA como principal componente químico difundido pela dentina. Foi possível concluir que todos os sistemas adesivos autocondicionantes avaliados apresentaram difusão transdentinária resultando em redução do metabolismo celular, a qual não foi relacionada a sua capacidade de dissolução da smear layer e desmineralização da dentina subjancente.
This study evaluated the transdentinal diffusion and cytotoxicity of self-etching adhesive systems with different pH on the odontoblast cell line MDPC-23. Sixty dentin disks were cut from the crowns of extracted human permanent molar teeth with 0.4 mm thickness and were divided into 6 groups of similar hydraulic conductance (Flodec). The dentin disks were placed in an in vitro pulp chamber and 30.000 cells were planted on their pulpal side (area of exposed dentin 0.28 cm2). After 48 hours, the adhesive systems Clearfil SE Bond, Clearfil Protect Bond, Adper Prompt or Xeno III were applied on the occlusal side and light-cured for 10s. Single Bond was used as positive and phosphate buffer solution (PBS) as negative control group. The cytotoxicity was measured by MTT assay and cell characteristics were assessed by SEM, after 24 h. The transdentinal diffusion was qualified by GC/MS. Kruskall-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests demonstrated a significant difference among the adhesives and PBS (p<0.05). The cellular viability reduction promoted by the self-etching systems was lower than that of Single Bond (53,1%). Cell metabolism was reduced in 47,8%; 46,5%; 42,1% and 28,0% for Clearfil SE Bond, Xeno III, Clearfil Protect Bond and Adper Prompt, respectively. HEMA was identified as the main diffused component. It was concluded that all investigated self-etching adhesives demonstrated transdentinal diffusion resulting in reduction of the cellular metabolism, which was not related to their capacity to dissolve the smear layer and demineralize the underlying dentin.

Full textThe aim of this study was to compare the effects of Low-level laser (LLL) with different energy densities and irradiances, varying according to the irradiation time and power, on cell viability and proliferation of pulp fibloblasts from human primary teeth (HPF). HPF were culture in DMEM and used between 4th and 8th passages. Groups were divided according to different energy densities, varying: Time of irradiation Ia (1.2 J/cm2 - 5 mW - 10 s), Ib (2.5 J/cm2 - 5 mW - 20 s), Ic (3.7 J/cm2 - 5 mW - 30 s), Id (5.0 J/cm2 - 5 mW - 40 s), and Ie (6.2 J/cm2 - 5 mW - 50 s); or output power - Grupo II IIa (1.2 J/cm2 - 5 mW - 10 s), IIb (2.5 J/cm2 - 10 mW - 10 s), IIc (3.7 J/cm2 - 15 mW - 10 s), IId (5.0 J/cm2 - 20 mW - 10 s), e IIe (6.2 J/cm2 - 25 mW - 10 s). Non-irradiated cells - grown in regular nutritional conditions - 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FSB) (If and IIf) and non-irradiated cells - grown in nutritional deficit - 1% FBS (Ig and IIg) were considered positive and negative controls, respectively. Cell viability and proliferation were respectively assessed through MTT and Crystal violet (CV) assays at 24, 48 and 72h after irradiation. Data were submitted to statistical analysis by ANOVA 2 criteria, followed by Tukey test (P<0.05). In the MTT assay, the negative controls, Ig and IIg, showed significantly lower viability in relation to the corresponding groups: IIa and IIb 24 hours after irradiation; Ia, Ib, Ie, If and IIf at 48 hours period; and Ib-If, as IIa-IIf, after 72 hours. At different periods of evaluation of CV assay, all groups, except Ie, IIe and If, exhibited significantly higher proliferation compared to the respective negative controls. Within the same group at different periods, groups If and IIe showed lower viability during 24 hours compared to 72 hours period by MTT assay. In the intragroup evaluation, CV assay revealed lower proliferation at 24 hours compared to 48 and 72 hours periods, regardless of the evaluated group. Different irradiation protocols, groups I and II, showed no statistically significant differences on cell viability and proliferation among equals energy densities with different irradiances at the evaluated periods. According to these findings, different LLL energy densities and irradiances proposed did not impair viability and proliferation of pulp fibloblasts from human primary teeth. The variation of the LLL irradiation protocol, by the time or power, did not interfere in cellular responses after the application of the same energy density with different irradiances.

Full textVulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) accounts about 95% of vulvar tumors. When diagnosed at an early stage, prognosis is usually good. Although effective, surgical treatment can be mutilating and entails serious psychosocial damage to patients. Whilst molecular aspects in VSCCs have been investigated, mechanisms underlying the VSCC clinical and biological behavior are poorly understood. Tetraspanins (TSPANs) are membrane proteins, which can interact with several molecules. In addition, they are involved in physiological processes such as proliferation and migration. Besides that, several studies show the deregulated expression of TSPANs associated with cancer development. Previous results of our group showed higher expression of CD63, and lower expression of KAI1/CD82, in VSCC patient samples, compared to adjacent normal tissue. However, the role of these proteins in vulvar tumors remains uncertain. Thus, the aim of this work was to characterize CD63 and KAI1/CD82 gene and protein expression profile in VSCC metastatic and non-metastatic cells lines, and to investigate the effects of genetic manipulation on these cells behavior. The cell lines used in this work were SW954 (Non-metastatic) and SW962 (metastatic). The qRT PCR assays showed CD63 overexpression and KAI1/CD82 downexpression in the metastatic cells. Thus, we chose to perform transient manipulation of CD63 by interfering RNA (RNAi). The RNAi assays showed significant inhibitory effects of gene and protein expression of CD63 in both cell lines, by qRT PCR and immunocytochemistry (ICC), respectively, however, inhibition of TSPAN was more prominent in metastatic cells. When inhibited, CD63 showed a significant decrease in proliferation of non-metastatic (*p < 0.05) and metastatic cells (**p=0.0022), as well as migration of metastatic cells (*p < 0.05). Therefore, the results point to CD63 playing a relevant role in VSCC, since its inhibition compromises the proliferation and migration capacity of tumor cells. In addition, decrease in the expression of KAI1/CD82 metastasis suppressor corroborates with other data in different types of cancers. Taken together, these TSPANs may be considered not only important prognostic factors in VSCC, but potential therapeutic targets
