Caracterização das fases imediata e tardia da resposta inflamatória de tecido pulmonar periférico de cobaias sensibilizadas

Abstract in Portuguese
O parênquima pulmonar periférico tem sido estudado como um componente da resposta inflamatória na asma. Durante uma constrição induzida, a resistência do tecido aumenta em diferentes modelos de asma. Aproximadamente 60% dos pacientes asmáticos possuem respostas imediata e tardia. A resposta tardia é caracterizada por obstrução mais grave de vias aéreas. No presente estudo, foi avaliada a mecânica de fatias de parênquima pulmonar em cobaias sensibilizadas com ovoalbumina (OVA), tentando reproduzir ambas as repostas imediata e tardia. A mecânica oscilatória de fatias pulmonares foi realizada em um grupo controle (C), em um grupo de resposta imediata (IM) e em dois grupos de resposta tardia: 17 (T1) e 72 (T2) horas após o último desafio com ovoalbumina. Medidas de resistência (R) e elastância (E) foram obtidas antes e depois do desafio com OVA nos grupos C e IM e antes e depois do desafio com Acetilcolina (ACh) em todos os grupos. Com o uso de morfometria, foram avaliadas as densidades de eosinófilos e de células musculares lisas, assim como o conteúdo de colágeno e elastina nas fatias pulmonares. Os valores de R e E basais e pós-agonista estão aumentados nos grupos IM, T1 e T2 quando comparados com o grupo C (p = 0.001). A análise morfométrica mostrou um aumento na densidade de eosinófilos nas fatias de tecido periférico dos grupos IM e T2 quando comparados com o grupo C (p < 0.05). Houve uma correlação positiva significante entre a densidade de eosinófilos nas fatias de parênquima dos grupos C, T1 e T2 e os valores de R e E pós-ACh (r = 0,71, p = 0.001 e r = 0,74, p < 0.001, respectivamente). Os resultados mostram que o parênquima pulmonar está envolvido na resposta tardia deste modelo de inflamação alérgica crônica e que a resposta constritora nesta fase está relacionada à inflamação eosinofílica.

Abstract in English
The peripheral lung parenchyma has been studied as a component of the asthmatic inflammatory response. During induced constriction, tissue resistance increases in different asthma models. Approximately 60% of the asthmatic patients show early and late responses. The late response is characterized by more severe airway obstruction. In the present study, we evaluated lung parenchymal strips mechanics in ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs, trying to reproduce both early and late inflammatory responses. Oscillatory mechanics of lung strips were performed in a control group (C), in an early response group (ER), and in two late response groups: 17 (L1) and 72 (L2) hours after the last ovalbumin challenge. Measurements of resistance and elastance were obtained before and after ovalbumin challenge in C and ER groups and before and after Acetylcholine challenge in all groups. Using morphometry, we assessed the density of eosinophils and smooth muscle cells, as well as collagen and elastin content in lung strips. The baseline and post-agonist values of resistance and elastance were increased in ER, L1 and L2 groups compared with C (p = 0.001). The morphometric analysis showed an increase in alveolar eosinophil density in ER and L2 groups compared with C group (p < 0.05). There was a significant correlation between eosinophil density in parenchymal strips of C, L1 and L2 groups and values of resistance and elastance post-Acetylcholine (r = 0.71, p = 0.001 and r=0.74, p < 0.001, respectively). The results show that the lung parenchyma is involved in the late response of this guinea pig model of chronic allergic inflammation and the constriction response in this phase is related to the eosinophilic inflammation.
