Title in Portuguese
Avaliação do comportamento vascular do tumor de Ehrlich na forma sólida em camundongos submetidos à eletroquimioterapia com bleomicina

Tumor de Ehrlich
Vascularização
Abstract in Portuguese
A eletroquimioterapia (EQT) é uma modalidade de tratamento recente que se baseia na associação de quimioterápicos potencializados pela eletroporação. Possui indicação para neoplasias sólidas de origens histológicas distintas, apresentando baixa morbidade e elevada eficiência. A ação da EQT ocorre em múltiplos sítios, tanto envolvendo a quebra da molécula de DNA, quanto exercendo efeito sobre a vasculatura tumoral. No presente estudo buscou-se maior compreensão dos eventos vasculares, avaliando-se qualitativamente e quantitativamente, com auxílio de marcação imunológica, com fator VIII e VEGF-A, a vascularização do tumor de Ehrlich implantado na forma sólida em camundongos, não tratados e submetidos à EQT com bleomicina, após sete dias de tratamento. No intuito de melhor elucidar os fenômenos vasculares, também foi investigado o efeito do resveratrol associado à EQT. O resveratrol, presente em vegetais como as uvas, possui efeitos de inibição do HIF1-α, reconhecida proteina que estimula a angiogênese em condições de hipoxia tumoral. Os animais submetidos à quimioterapia com bleomicina não apresentaram redução de volume tumoral, ao contrário dos que sofreram EQT com o mesmo fármaco. Evidenciou-se maior densidade microvascular tumoral em animais tratados com quimioterapia, quando comparados aos não tratados e aos submetidos à EQT. O tratamento com resveratrol diminuiu a expressão de VEGF-A e obteve efeito mais pronunciado quando associado à EQT com bleomicina. Através dos fenômenos pesquisados pôde-se evidenciar que a EQT com bleomicina foi efetiva na redução do volume do tumor de Ehrlich e que houve redução da atividade proliferativa assim como da densidade microvascular tumoral. Também observou-se que o resveratrol, ainda mais quando associado à EQT com bleomicina, reduz a proliferação tumoral e a expressão de VEGF-A

Abstract in English
The electrochemotherapy (EQT) is a new treatment modality based on the association of chemotherapy potentiated by electroporation. Has indication for solid neoplasms of histological distinct origins, presenting low morbidity and high efficiency. The action of the EQT occurs in multiple sites, both involving the breakage of the DNA molecule, as having an effect on the tumor vasculature. The present study aimed at better understanding of vascular events, evaluating qualitatively and quantitatively, using immune labeling, with factor VIII and VEGF-A, the vascularization of the Ehrlich tumor implanted in solid form in mice, untreated and submitted to EQT with bleomycin, after seven days of treatment. In order to better elucidate the vascular phenomena, was also investigated the effect of resveratrol associated with EQT. The resveratrol present in plants such as grapes, has inhibitory effects of HIF1-α, a protein that is recognized to stimulates angiogenesis in tumor hypoxia. The animals submitted to chemotherapy with bleomycin showed no reduction of tumor volume, unlike those who suffered EQT with the same drug. It was evidenced increased microvessel density tumor in animals treated with chemotherapy, when compared to untreated and those submitted to EQT. The treatment with resveratrol decreased the expression of VEGF-A and obtained effect was more pronounced when associated to the EQT with bleomycin. This research can prove that the EQT with bleomycin was effective in reducing the volume of Ehrlich tumor and that there was a reduction of proliferative activity as well as of microvascular density tumor. Also it was observed that the resveratrol, even more when associated with EQT with bleomycin, reduces the tumor proliferation and the expression of VEGF-A
