Title in Portuguese
Efeito do paricalcitol e do calcitriol sobre a doença cardiovascular em camundongos uninefrectomizados ApoE -/-
Keywords in Portuguese
Aterosclerose
Calcitriol
Esclerose calcificante da média
Vitamina D/análogos & derivados
Abstract in Portuguese
O estudo investigou a influência do tratamento de 10 semanas com paricalcitol (0,1µg/kg 5x/semana) e calcitriol (0,03µg/kg 5x/semana) em modelo de aterosclerose espontânea utilizando camundongos ApoE -/- sham e uninefrectomizados (UNX). Resultados: a densidade capilar por comprimento no tecido cardíaco foi significativamente mais baixa nos animais UNX Controle quando comparados aos shams, o que não ocorreu nos animais UNX tratados com paricalcitol e calcitriol. Nas aortas, a relação parede/lúmen foi significativamente menor no grupo Sham Controle quando comparada à dos grupos UNX Controle e UNX Calcitriol, sendo que nesses últimos, foram evidenciadas calcificações vasculares acompanhadas por células positivas para Runx-2 (cbfa-1). Além disso, foi evidenciada uma menor expressão de TGFß nas aortas dos animais do grupo UNX Paricalcitol em relação aos grupos UNX Controle e UNX Calcitriol. Conclusões: Ambos os tratamentos preveniram alterações na capilarização cardíaca induzidas pela UNX. O tratamento com calcitriol na dose empregada induziu significativas calcificações vasculares, o que não ocorreu com o paricalcitol.

Abstract in English
The study investigated the influence of a 10-week treatment with Paricalcitol (0.1µg/kg, 5x/week) or Calcitriol (0.03µg/kg, 5x/week) on cardiovascular disease in spontaneously atherosclerotic ApoE -/- mice submitted to uninephrectomy (UNX). Results: capillary length density of the heart was significantly lower in UNX Control, but not in UNX Paricalcitol and UNX Calcitriol animals, when compared to shams. In the aortas, a significantly lower wall/lumen ratio was observed in the Sham Control group when compared to UNX Control and UNX Calcitriol groups. In the latter, vascular calcifications accompanied by a significant presence of Runx-2 (cbfa-1) positive cells was observed. TGFß aorta expression was significantly higher in UNX Control and UNX Calciriol groups when compared to UNX Paricalcitol. Conclusions: Both treatments were able to prevent the reduction in heart capillarization induced by the UNX model. Treatment with Calcitriol at the employed dose and duration, though, induced significant vascular calcifications.
