Avaliação do estado inflamatório em ilhotas de Langerhans de camundongos portadores do tumor sólido de Ehrlich

Abstract

The maintenance of energy homeostasis is one of the most crucial physiological tasks to ensure long-term survival in animals. Chronic diseases, as cancer, are capable to lead to homeostasis imbalance mainly by tumor presence and the cluster of symptoms involved in this process was named cachexia. Cancer cachexia is a metabolic syndrome characterized by a marked weight loss, loss of muscle and adipose tissues and is frequently associated with anorexia and systemic inflammation. Alterations in carbohydrate metabolism are frequent in cancer cachexia, especially insulinemic alterations. In the same way, tumor presence promotes severe systemic inflammation in the host, and it was demonstrated that this is responsible for functional alterations in many organs leading to cachexia progression. However, there are no studies that correlate the role of systemic inflammation with the alterations in carbohydrate metabolism, mainly related with alterations in insulin secretion. In previous studies we demonstrated that solid Ehrlich carcinoma-bearing mice (SET) showed drastic decrease in insulin secretion, hipoinsulinemia, increase in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. With these results, numerous opportunities for study appeared, among then the establishment of inflammatory response in islets. Considering the lack of studies in this area and considering the importance of proper insulin secretion and glicemic homeostasis to the survival of cancer patients, we evaluated inflammatory response components in pancreatic islets of solid Ehrlich tumor-bearing mice in order to seek consistent information about possible mechanisms involved in alterations in insulin secretion in SET group. For this, pancreatic islets of control (CTL) and SET bearing mice were analyzed 14 days after tumor inoculation for determination of the expression of the proinflammatory citokynes TNF-α, IL-1β, IFNγ, IFN-α, IL-6 e IL-8, and ...

A manutenção da homeostase energética é, sem duvida, o aspecto fisiológico mais importante para a garantia de sobrevivência animal. Doenças crônicas como câncer são capazes de alterar esta homeostase, agravada principalmente pela presença do tumor. O conjunto de sintomas envolvidos neste quadro de desequilíbrio metabólico, comum a diversas doenças, foi agrupado e caracterizado como uma síndrome metabólica denominada caquexia que, entre outros fatores, leva à progressiva perda de peso, perda de tecido muscular e adiposo, e está frequentemente associado a sintomas de anorexia e inflamação sistêmica. Na caquexia induzida por câncer, o desequilíbrio no metabolismo de carboidratos é um sintoma frequente, especialmente alterações no perfil secretório de insulina. Da mesma forma, a presença tumoral gera um estado de inflamação sistêmica que há algum tempo tem sido apontada como principal responsável pela alteração funcional de diversos órgãos, acarretando na progressão da síndrome. No entanto, não há trabalhos na literatura que correlacionem o papel da inflamação sistêmica gerada pelo desenvolvimento tumoral com a alteração no metabolismo de carboidratos, principalmente aquelas relacionadas à secreção de insulina. Em resultados anteriores evidenciamos que camundongos portadores do tumor sólido de Ehrlich (TSE) exibiram drástica diminuição na capacidade secretória de insulina, hipoinsulinemia, maiores sensibilidade a este hormônio e tolerância à glicose. Deste trabalho, inúmeras possibilidades de estudo surgiram, dentre elas a investigação do quadro inflamatório na ilhota como possível causador das alterações na secreção de insulina. Diante da escassez de trabalhos nesta área e diante da importância da adequada secreção de insulina e da homeostase glicêmica na melhora da sobrevida de portadores de doenças malignas, foi proposta do presente estudo avaliar...
