Title in Portuguese
"O efeito da ciclosporina A na população de células apresentadoras de antígenos em hiperplasia gengival medicamentosa"
Keywords in Portuguese
células apresentadoras de antígenos
ciclosporina A
Doença periodontal
imunoistoquímica
Abstract in Portuguese
A proposta do nosso estudo foi comparar o número de células apresentadoras de antígenos (CAAs) presentes em biópsias de gengivite (G) e de hiperplasia gengival induzida por ciclosporina (HGIC). Vinte e oito biópsias de pacientes com G e 14 biópsias de HGIC foram analisadas no epitélio de revestimento bucal (ERB), epitélio sulcular (ES) e no tecido conjuntivo (TC). O número de macrófagos (CD68+), de células de Langerhans (CD1a+) e de células dendríticas intersticiais (CDIs) (FXIIIA+) foi investigado por técnica imunoistoquímica. Células CD1a+/mm2 foram significantemente aumentadas na G quando comparada com HGIC, no TC, no ES e no ERB (p<0,05). Em contrapartida, o número de células CD68+ no TC e no ERB, e o número de células FXIIIA+/mm2 no TC foram aumentadas no grupo de HGIC (p<0,05). Ciclosporina A está relacionada com a diminuição de células de Langerhans. Podemos sugerir que este fato aumenta as infecções oportunistas, conseqüentemente, um maior número de macrófagos é necessário para combater os microorganismos.

Abstract in English
The aim of this study was to compare the number of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) observed in biopsies of gingivitis (G), and in cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth (CIGO). Twenty eight biopsies from patients with G, and 14 with CIGO were analyzed in oral epithelium (OE), sulcular/junctional epithelium (SJE), and connective tissue (CT). The number of macrophages (CD68+), Langerhans’cells (CD1a+), and interstitial dendritic cells (FXIIIA+) was investigated by immunohistochemistry. CD1a+ cells/mm2 were significantly increased in G when compared with CIGO, in CT, in SJE, and in OE (p<0.05). In contrast, the number of CD68+ in CT, and in OE, and FXIIIA+ cells/mm2 in CT were increased in CIGO group (p<0.05). Cyclosporine is related with the diminution of Langerhans’ cells. We can suggest that this fact increase opportunistic infections, consequently, a greater number of macrophages is necessary in order to combat the microorganisms.
