Title in Portuguese
Prospecção de novos fármacos para melanoma em equivalente dérmico
Keywords in Portuguese
Citotoxicidade

Equivalente dérmico
Melanoma
Patologia celular
Abstract in Portuguese
Os modelos de reconstrução do microambiente são úteis para investigar as propriedades biológicas dos melanócitos humanos com a matriz e como plataforma para testes de novos fármacos. Existe uma demanda crescente para a utilização de pele e derme reconstruídas em laboratório, em ensaios in vitro de citotoxicidade, viabilidade celular, crescimento celular, irritabilidade e avaliação dos constituintes da matriz extracelular. Caracterizamos, em equivalente dérmico, alguns mecanismos de viabilidade e invasão de melanoma metastático humano quando na presença da matriz, a fim de ampliar o conhecimento a respeito de novas terapias contra o melanoma e entender os mecanismos que favorecem seu potencial invasivo, mimetizando com mais fidelidade o que ocorre in vivo. Através da validação deste modelo, constatamos que ele é essencial para resgatar a fisiopatologia do tumor, pois o melanoma, na presença de equivalente dérmico, torna-se capaz de evadir mecanismos de morte e aumentar a secreção de metaproteinases e citocinas que favorecerão a evolução tumoral. Avaliamos também as propriedades antineoplásicas do ácido clorogênico, que já foram relatadas em um grande número de tumores, porém os mecanismos que levam à sua ação antitumoral ainda não foram bem elucidados. Diante dos trabalhos enfatizando o efeito quimioprotetor dos polifenóis, referentes à sua ação antioxidante em células neoplásicas e com potencial metastático, não há na literatura estudos que comprovem a eficácia do ácido clorogênico sobre células de melanoma metastático humano. Portanto, este estudo visou recriar a estrutura dérmica in vitro e, a partir disso, comparar a resposta de fármacos em células de melanoma cultivada em equivalente dérmico, a fim de avaliar se há modulação diferencial nesse substrato, sugerindo, portanto, um protocolo mais eficaz para a prospecção de fármacos antimelanoma.

Abstract in English
The microenvironment reconstruction models are useful for investigating the biological properties of human melanocytes onto the matrix and as platform for testing new drugs. There is a growing demand for the use of reconstructed skin and dermis in the laboratory for in vitro assays of cytotoxicity, viability, cell growth, irritability, and evaluation of the extracellular matrix. We characterize in dermal equivalent some mechanisms for cell viability and invasion of human metastatic melanoma in the presence of matrix, the order to increase knowledge about new therapies against melanoma and to understand the mechanisms that favor its invasive potential, to more closely mimic what occurs in vivo. By means of this model, we find that it is essential to rescue the tumor physiopathology as melanoma, in the presence of dermal equivalent, it is able to evade death mechanisms and increase the expression of metalloproteinases and cytokines which favor the tumor evolution. We also evaluated the antineoplastic properties of chlorogenic acid, that have been reported in a large number of tumors, but the mechanisms that lead to its antitumor action has not been well elucidated. Before the work emphasizing the chemoprotective effect of polyphenols related to its antioxidant action in neoplastic cells and with metastatic potential, there is no literature studies confirming the effectiveness of chlorogenic acid on human metastatic melanoma cells. Therefore, this study aims to rebuild the dermal structure in vitro, and from this, to compare the response to drugs in melanoma cells dermal equivalent cultured in order to evaluate whether modulation differential on the substrate, thus suggesting a protocol more effective for prospecting antimelanoma drugs.
