Title in Portuguese
Efeito da exposição à fumaça de cigarro e ao resíduo de óleo diesel (ROFA) em pulmões de camundongos C57/BI6

Enfisema pulmonar
Poluição ambiental

Abstract in Portuguese
Vários mecanismos que participam do desenvolvimento da DPOC (Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica) não são ainda bem esclarecidos. Neste estudo, expusemos camundongos C57/Bl6, por 2 meses, à fumaça de cigarro e/ou à ROFA (resíduo de óleo diesel). Os animais expostos à fumaça de cigarro desenvolveram aumento da resistência de grandes vias aéreas, provavelmente por espessamento da sua parede, resultante de alterações nas células epiteliais. Estes animais também desenvolveram enfisema inicial, com distensão de espaços aéreos em algumas regiões pulmonares. Não houve recrutamento de células inflamatórias, alteração de fibras elásticas ou colágenas ou aumento do estresse oxidativo, medido pelo Isoprostano 8. Este trabalho sugere que há uma lesão pulmonar inicial que se caracteriza por alterações nas células epiteliais e algum grau de enfisema, que pode ser mediado pelas próprias células epiteliais

Abstract in English
Many of the mechanisms leading to CPOD (Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease) are not completely understood. In the present study, we exposed C57/Bl6 mice, for two months, to cigarette smoke and/or ROFA (Residual Oil Fly Ash). Animals exposed to cigarette smoke had an increased in proximal airways resistance, probably due to the thickening of airways walls that followed changes in epithelial cells. These animals also had a small degree of emphysema, once air spaces enlargement could be noticed in circumscribed lung areas. We observed no inflammatory cells recruitment, elastic or collagen fibers deposition or increases in oxidative stress, measured by staining Isoprotane8. This study shows an early stage of the CPOD development, in which we can detect changes in epithelial cells and a small degree of emphysema, which could be mediated by these same epithelial cells
