Full textMaternal-fetal tolerance continues to be an intriguing immunological enigma. Some theories have been proposed about these phenomena such as the production of soluble molecules like HLA-G by fetal cells that would block some cells of the innate immune system and the secretion of cytokines, hormones and some factors by trophoblast cells that would induce changes in the placental microenvironment. Maternal tolerance is probably the consequence of a wide panel of mechanisms that may be or not pregnancy-specific. In this context, indoleamine 2, 3 dioxygenase (IDO), an inducible INFy enzyme, is a candidate protein to be involved in placental tolerance, as suggested in some reports on women pregnancy. IDO seems to catabolise the tryptophan, an essential amino acid necessary to cell proliferation. This way, activated T-cells in placental tis sue cannot proliferate due to starvation of tryptophan in milieu and these cells undergo apoptosis. This change may be one of the ways maternal-fetal tolerance occurs. Our aim was to evaluate the levels of tryptophan and its degradation products in normal and cloned bovine pregnancy, observing possible changes in tryptophan catabolism during this period. Homogenates from normal placental tissue from cows with normal (n=29) and cloned pregnancy (n=5) were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatograph. Levels of tryptophan and kinurenine reached their highest levels through of time of pregnancy; TRIPTOPHAN: 479,33µM/L ±53,04ste; 745,87µM/L ±72,71ste; 983,39µM/L ±196,37ste early. middle and late pregnancy respectively; KINURENINE: 15,13µM/L ±2,97ste; 25,26µM/L 3,72ste; 52,77µM/L ±17,75ste early. middle and late pregnancy respectively. The ratios of kynurenine to tryptophan does not increased during pregnancy (0.038 ±0.011ste, 0.035 ±0.005ste and 0.056 ±0,020ste; early, middle and late pregnancy respectively). When these values were compared to cloned pregnancy they showed lower values in these animais, however they were not statiscally significant (0,031 ±0.003ste). Tryptophan values were lower in cloned pregnancy (811,34µM/L ± ±232, 14ste) as well kinurenine (22,85µM/L ±4,09stde). There was no statiscal difference between normal late pregnancy and cloned pregnancy in this mater. The presence of kinurenine in bovine placental tissue is one indicator that IDO could be expressed in bovine placenta and indicate an IDO activity in this site.

Full textThe blue shark (Prionace glauca) is a viviparous placentary species in which the yolk sac develops along pregnancy turning into a placenta with a matrotrofic role. The indoleamine 2 3-dioxygenase (IDO) is a protein usually described in mammals, which, among other functions, participates on the maternal-fetal tolerance process. Although it has also been reported in bony fish, no information is available regarding its function. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of IDO in blue shark maternal-fetal interface and describe its distribution. Thus, placental / uterine and embryonic materials from three different stages (pre-placenta, middle and late gestation) of pregnant P. glauca females were processed for immunohistochemistry. The results showed IDO labelling during the yolk sac / placenta development in ectoderm along the three development phases and at endoderm only at phases I and II. In uterine epithelium, IDO was observed in the last two phases. These interface tissues are major contact areas between the mother ant the conceptus, that would induce an immunological response against the semialogeneic conceptus.The sum of these factors may contribute as an indication to the possible IDO role as a mechanism of maternal-fetal tolerance in Chondrichtyes placentary interface, as described in eutherian mammals

Full textBreast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women and the survival of patients affected by it is increasing, mainly dueto several new approaches in early diagnosis and more effective treatments. The enzyme indoleamine- 2,3 - dioxygenase (IDO) is expressed on many cells and also on tumor cells. This enzyme acts by inhibiting the proliferation of T lymphocytes, thus compromising their cytotoxic activity. The 1-methyl-DL-tryptophan (1MT) is a competitive inhibitor of IDO, which blocks its immunosuppressive effect and could collaborate with chemotherapy in tumor regression. Thus, besides highlighting the expression of IDO in tumor cells in mammary tissue and culture, this study also aimed to determine the "in vitro" effect of the association of 1-methyl-DL-tryptophan (1MT) and paclitaxel (Taxol®) chemotherapy, as an attenuation approach to tumor growth. It is believed that it would allow the restoration of T-lymphocytes proliferation capability and their cytotoxic response. Results showed that IDO is expressed in breast tissue with a high concentration in the tumor stroma. The supplemented cultures showed that the most significant differences in the expression of IDO were observed in the group treated with paclitaxel associated with 1-methyl-DL-tryptophan continuous supplementation, reducing the enzyme expression from 12.06% to 3.56%. Therefore, it may be suggested that this association was more effective in reducing IDO expression and such outcome could collaborate in developing a new therapeutic strategy for breast cancer treatment

Full textThe Ehrlich tumor (TE) was first described, as breast adenocarcinoma of mice. The TE develops in ascitic or solid form from successive transplantations in the peritoneum or subcutaneous tissue of these animals. The Ehrlich ascites tumor (TAE) has been used as a transplantable tumor for the development of research related to oncology. Studies have shown that the development of TAE results in stimulation of cytotoxic cells, such as T lymphocytes and Natural Killer cells (NK), mediated mainly by macrophages. Macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) in tumor tissues, via co-stimulation of molecules B7-1 and B7-2, present in these cells, toghether with the CTLA-4 (Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated antigen 4) molecule, present on regulatory T CD4 + CD25 + lymphocytes , may induce the synthesis of indoleamine 2, 3 dioxygenase (IDO). IDO is an enzyme that catabolizes the essential amino acid tryptophan, impairing activation and proliferation of T lymphocytes and consequently, compromising mechanisms associated with them such as rejection. Considering the presence of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment Ehrlich ascites that express IDO, this study aimed to verify the expression of IDO after the blockade of interaction B7/CTLA-4 by flow cytometry. Results demonstrated that there was a reduction of 4.9% to 2.53%in the expression of IDO. Given the results, it seems plausible to suggest that blocking this binding via was effective in reducing the levels of expression of IDO, which could restore the responsiveness of T cells against tumor cells. In this perspective on the IDO as a mediator in the control of immune escape made by tumor cells, these results may collaborate for modulation of this enzyme in the microenvironment.

Full textIndoleamine-2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) and tryptophan catabolism are involved in the control of innate and adaptive immunity against pathogens. We investigated the role of IDO in the pulmonary paracoccidiodomycosis developed by susceptible (B10.A) and resistant (A/J) mice to the fungus. We verified that IDO plays a different effect in innate the immunity of B10.A and A/J mice. Early in the infection, IDO controlled the fungal loads but also induced anergy of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of B10.A mice. T cell anergy was partially due to the expansion of Treg cells and increased apoptosis of lymphocytes. In resistant mice, IDO controlled the initial fungal loads, but exerted a suppressive effect on T lymphocytes only at week 8. As in B10.A mice IDO was shown to induce Treg cells and apoptosis of lymphocytes in the course of immune response developed by resistant mice. In conclusion our work showed for the first time that IDO play an important role in the fungicidal and immunoregulatory mechanisms developed by susceptible and resistant mice to P. brasiliensis infection.

Full textTypical bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors (TBCT) are considered the less aggressive neoplasm within the spectrum of neuroendocrine tumors. However, regional nodes and haematogenic metastasis occur in a considerable rate and no data regarding immune escape mechanisms in these tumors are available. Some studies have implicated indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) expression in malignant cells as the responsible for tumor tolerance. Also, levels of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) seem to be related with prognosis and survival. Our aim in this study was to determine intratumoral IDO expression levels and the value of this variable as a predictive marker of TBCT metastasis. Thus, TILs pattern was determined and correlation with intratumoral IDO expression analyzed. For this purpose, a multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed and 64 patients operated on for TBCT between 1981 and 2003 were enrolled. Follow-up period was 5 years and regional or haematogenic metastasis was assessed by computerized tomography (CT) scan. Levels of IDO expression and TILs were assessed by immunohistochemical study. The results obtained showed that of all 64 patients, 17 (26,5%) presented with any metastasis during the study: regional nodes, haematogenic or both. IDO expression was found in different intensity levels in over 80% of TBCT cells. However, univariate analysis showed no significant difference in IDO expression between groups with and without metastasis (p=0,9 and p=0,3 for semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis respectively). TILs quantification in all studied groups demonstrated predominance of CD8+ TILs when compared to CD4+ TILs (p<0,01). No difference in CD8+ TILs was found between groups with and without metastasis (p=0,98). However CD4+ TILs quantification was null in the groups with any metastasis (p=0,01), and regional nodes metastasis (p=0,02). No correlation between IDO expression levels and TILs was identified in all analyzed groups(r= -0,2 and p=0,1 for both groups). In conclusion, these data shows that intratumoral IDO expression do not correlate with TBCT metastasis. Even though no difference in CD8+ TILs between groups with and without metastasis was found, absence of CD4+ TILs is associated with the studied event. These cells seem to confer a protective effect against tumoral immune escape
