Title in Portuguese
O efeito de triterpenos quinonametídeos sobre a regulação de microRNAs associados com proliferação e apoptose no câncer de cabeça e pescoço.

Queratinócitos
Abstract in Portuguese
Um dos tipos de câncer mais frequentes no mundo é o carcinoma epidermoide de cabeça e pescoço. A dificuldade de resposta eficiente aos tratamentos está relacionada à complexidade molecular deste tumor. MicroRNAs regulam uma parte significativa dos genes humanos, dentre os quais genes responsáveis por controlar proliferação e apoptose, caracterizando seu papel na progressão tumoral e resistência a quimioterápicos. O entendimento sobre como moléculas com ação antineoplásica atuam sobre a regulação de microRNAs pode contribuir para a compreensão de resultados terapêuticos. Neste estudo avaliamos o efeito dos triterpenos quinonametídeos maitenina e 22-β-hidroximaitenina sobre a viabilidade celular e sobre a regulação de microRNAs associados com proliferação e apoptose. O efeito destas moléculas foi avaliado frente a linhagens tumorais e em queratinócitos orais livres de tumor. Os resultados indicam que os dois triterpenos avaliados reduzem eficazmente a viabilidade das células cancerígenas e a regulação de microRNAs faz parte dos mecanismos envolvidos neste efeito.

Abstract in English
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most frequent cancer types in the world. The difficulty of effective response to treatment is related to the molecular complexity of this tumor. MicroRNAs, small non-coding RNA molecules, regulate a significant proportion of human genes, among which genes involved in cell growth, apoptosis and response to chemotherapy. The comprehension on how anticancer molecules interfere with microRNA expression should contribute to the understanding of treatment outcome. This study evaluated the effect of two quinonamethide triterpenoids, maytenin and 22-β-hidroxymaytenin, on cell viability and on the regulation of microRNAs associated with proliferation and apoptosis. The effect of these molecules was evaluated in tumor cells and oral keratinocytes. The results show that the two triterpenoids effectively reduced cell viability of cancer-derived cell lines and that microRNA regulation is one of the mechanisms involved in this effect.
