Title in Portuguese
O papel da insularina, uma disintegrina recombinante (GST-INS), em processos de progressão tumoral: estudos in vitro.
Keywords in Portuguese

Abstract in Portuguese
Plaquetas e células tumorais interagem em uma reação cruzada com proteínas do plasma, via integrina αIIbβ3 e αvβ3, respectivamente. A integrina αvβ3 também encontra-se presente na angiogênese tumoral. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a GST-INS, uma disintegrina recombinante do veneno de Bothrops insularis em eventos da progressão tumoral. Em condições estáticas, GST-INS foi capaz de inibir totalmente a adesão de células HUVECs e SK-MEL-28 às plaquetas em comparação ao controle e ao Aggrastat® (inibidor seletivo da integrina αIIbβ3). Além de inibir a TCIPA (agregação plaquetária induzida por células tumorais) a GST-INS também inibiu a invasão de SK-MEL-28 em substrato de matrigel. Células t.End.1 ou SK-MEL-28 pré-incubadas com GST-INS não formaram túbulos no substrato de matrigel. Análise por microscopia confocal mostrou que GST-INS liga-se a integrina αv presente nas células SK-MEL-28. Nossos resultados sugerem que essa disintegrina pode ser utilizada como potencial ferramenta no estudo e desenvolvimento de antiangiogênicos e antimetastáticos.

Abstract in English
Platelets and tumor cells interact in a cross-react with plasma proteins via integrin αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 , respectively.The integrin αvβ3 is also strongly stimulated in tumor angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of GST-INS, a recombinant disintegrin from Bothrops insularis venom on events of tumor progression. Under static conditions, GST-INS was able to completely inhibit the adhesion of endothelial cells (HUVECs) and melanoma cells (SK-MEL-28) to platelets compared to control and Aggrastat® (selective inhibitor of integrin αIIbβ3). In addition, GST-INS inhibit TCIPA (platelet aggregation induced by tumor cells) GST-INS also inhibited SK-MEL-28 on matrigel invasion substrate. t.End.1 cells or SK-MEL-28 pre-incubated with GST-INS were not able to form tubules in matrigel substrate. Analysis by confocal microscopy showed that GST-INS binds to integrin αv present in SK-MEL-28 cells. The results suggest that disintegrin can be used as a potential tool in the study and development of antiangiogenic and antimetastatic.
