Efeito da concentração citostática de 5-fluorouracil sobre a imunogenicidade de células de câncer colorretal murino MC-38

A quimioterapia é o tratamento padrão para pacientes com os mais variados tipos de câncer, (sendo o 5 Fluorouracil -5Fu- a droga de escolha no caso do câncer colorretal) mas ela está associada a efeitos colaterais que podem ser muito severos. A exposição de células tumorais a agentes antineoplásicos, em dose baixa e não citotóxica, pode torná-las mais imunogênicas, enquanto que a exposição de células dendríticas (DC) a esses agentes antineoplásicos pode aumentar sua capacidade de induzir resposta antitumoral in vitro. O objetivo deste estudo é verificar se o tratamento in vitro de células tumorais MC38 com 5-Fu (dose não citotóxica) pode induzir a expressão de moléculas que aumentem suas características imunogênicas, fazendo com que elas sejam mais facilmente identificadas pelo sistema imune. Para isso, camundongos da linhagem C57/Bl-6 foram inoculados subcutaneamente com células MC38 e sete dias depois foram vacinados com DC sensibilizadas com antígenos tumorais obtidos a partir da lise de células MC38 mantidas em cultura e previamente tratadas com 5-Fu, em dose não citotóxica (DC-5Fu), para que a performance das DC sensibilizadas pudesse ser comparada à performance das DC selvagens

Efeito citotóxico de agentes clareadores a base de peróxido de hidrogênio a 20% e 38% sobre células odontoblastóides

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the trans-enamel and transdentinal cytotoxic effects of two in-office tooth bleaching techniques that employ bleaching gels containing 20% and 38% of H2 O2 on cultured odontoblast-like cell line (MDPC-23). Sixty enamel/dentin discs were obtained from bovine central incisors and placed individually in artificial pulp chambers. Six groups were formed according to the following enamel treatments: G1- 20% H2 O2 (1 application); G2- 20% H2 O2 (2 applications); G3- 38% H2 O2 (1 application); G4- 38% H2 O2 (2 applications); G5- 38% H2 O2 (3 applications); and G6- control (no treatment). In G1 and G2, the bleaching gel was left in contact with the enamel surface for 45 min in each application. However, in G3, G4, and G5 the bleaching gel was applied for only 10 min per application. After the last application, the extracts were collected and applied on previously cultured cells (30.000 cells/cm2 ) for 24 h. Cell metabolism was evaluated by the MTT assay and cell morphology was analysed by scanning electron microscopy. Cell metabolism decreased by 96.29%; 96.11%; 96.42%; 95.62%; and 97.18% in G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5, respectively. All treated groups differed significantly from non-treated control group (G6) (p < 0.05). However, the difference in cell metabolism among treated groups was not significant statistically. In addition, significant morphological cell alterations were observed in all treated groups. Under the tested experimental conditions, the extracts collected after both tooth bleaching techniques evaluated in this study caused severe toxic effects on cultured odontoblast-like cell MDPC-23.
