Title in Portuguese
Estudo da expressão de citocinas no microambiente tumoral em pacientes com neoplasias pulmonares e sua correlação com a presença de macrófagos e células dendríticas.
Keywords in Portuguese
Câncer.
Células dentríticas
Citocinas
Imunohistoquímica
Macrófagos
Neoplasias pulmonares
Abstract in Portuguese
Células dendríticas (DCs) são centrais na indução da resposta imune e o desvio de sua diferenciação para macrófagos, no microambiente tumoral pode ser um mecanismo de escape do tumor frente à resposta imune. Assim, o objetivo deste projeto foi comparar, entre tecido neoplásico e não-neoplásico, a freqüência de DCs, macrófagos e mastócitos e da produção in situ das citocinas IL-4 e TNF-a. Nesta análise observou-se maior quantidade de DCs (CD1a+ ou S100+), macrófagos (CD68+), mastócitos (azul de toluidina+) e células produtoras de TNF-a no tumor do que no tecido pulmonar. No tecido pulmonar encontrou-se maior freqüência de células positivas para IL-4, assim como, entre células dissociadas de tecido fresco, observou-se maior freqüência de DCs maduras. Identificou-se também a expressão, por células tumorais ou do estroma pulmonar, do marcador CD83, característico de DCs ativadas, em 10 de 11 pacientes. O sobrenadante de cultura destas células CD83+ inibiu a ativação de linfócitos por DCs alogenêicas, mas esta atividade foi suprimida por anticorpos anti-CD83.

Abstract in English
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in the immune response and the deviation of its differentiation to macrophages in the tumor microenvironment may be a mechanism of escape of tumor from immune response. Thus, the aim of this project was to compare between affected and non-affected lung, the frequency of DCs, macrophages and mast cells and production in situ of IL-4 and TNF-a. In this analysis, we observe higher amount of DCs (CD1a+ and S-100+), macrophages (CD68+), mast cells (toluidine blue+) and cells producing TNF-a in the tumor than non-affected lung. In lung, we found higher frequency of cells IL-4+ and in lung digests we observed higher amount of mature DCs. We also identified the expression by tumor or stroma cells the CD83, present in activated DCs, in 10 of 11 patients. The supernatant of such cells CD83+ inhibited the activation of lymphocyte by alogeneic DCs, but this effect was decreased by anti-CD83.
