Title in Portuguese
Ressonância magnética eletrônica no estudo de sistemas de interesse biológico
Keywords in Portuguese
Células-tronco
Nicotina
RPE
Superparamagnetismo
Surfatante pulmonar
Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho de tese aplicamos a espectroscopia de Ressonância Paramagnética Eletrônica (RPE) junto com a chamada técnica do grupo repórter, aliada a simulação espectral por meio do programa NLSL, para investigar a interação da nicotina dependente com membranas. Também empregamos Ressonância Ferromangnética (RFM), que é uma técnica similar em muitos aspectos ao RPE, para investigamos células-tronco marcadas com nanopartículas superparamagnéticas de óxido de ferro (NSOF), previamente preparada no laboratório de nanotecnologia do Instituto Israelita de Ensino e Pesquisa Albert Einstein (IIEPAE). Os resultados relativos à primeira parte da tese, mostraram que a nicotina quando em meio ácido interage com a região da cabeça polar dos fosfolipídios estudados e tem ação penetrante em meio básico. A interação da nicotina com o DPPC resulta em uma desestabilização da fase gel do fosfolipídio. Este fato pode estar relacionado com a ocorrência de doenças respiratórias em tabagistas devido ao fato de que o DPPC é o maior constituinte do complexo surfatante pulmonar. Na segunda parte, fomos capazes de marcar células-tronco com nanopartículas superparmangéticas e também quantificá-las pelo cálculo da área, dupla integral do espectro de RFM das NOSF. Finalmente, fizemos uma caracterização das nanopartículas por meio de experimentos de RFM dependente da variação de temperatura, que confirmaram o comportamento superparamagnético das NOSF.

Abstract in English
In this work, we made use of the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy along with the so-called reporter group technique and extensive spectral simulations by means of the software NLSL to investigate the interaction of nicotine with model membranes. Besides that we also employed Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR), which is a technique similar in many aspects to EPR, to investigate stem cells labeled with superparamagnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide (NSOF) previously made at the Nanotechnology Laboratory of the Instituto Israelita de Ensino e Pesquisa Albert Einstein (IIEPAE). The results concerning the first part of our work showed that nicotine in acidic pH value interacts with the polar headgroup region of the phospholipids under investigation, whereas it penetrates the model membrane in alkaline pH value. Also, the interaction of nicotine with DPPC resulted in destabilization of the phospholipid gel phase. This fact could be related to some of the effects of nicotine in respiratory diseases since DPPC is the major constituent of the pulmonary surfactant complex. In the second part of our work, we were able to successfully label stem cells with the superparamagnetic nanoparticles and also quantify that labeling by calculating the area under the double integrated NSOF FMR spectra. We also performed a characterization of the nanoparticles by means of temperature-variation FMR experiments, which showed that the iron oxide nanoparticled indeed had a superparamagnetic behavior.
