Abstract in Portuguese
O Acidente vascular cerebral é uma doença aguda neuroinflamatória cuja prevalência aumentou nos últimos anos. Seus sintomas são decorrente da morte neuronal provocada pela privação de glicose e oxigênio. Após a morte neuronal, há liberação de citocinas, radicais livres e neurotransmissores, dentre eles o glutamato. Nosso objetivo é averiguar como o glutamato através do seu receptor NMDA modula a resposta inflamatória tanto de células residentes do SNC, quanto de células imunes infiltrantes. Para a realização desse estudos, realizamos experimentos in vitro e in vivo com o bloqueador do NMDAr, sob o processo de hipóxia. Nossos resultados demonstraram que a sinalização por NMDAr modula a expressão de moléculas envolvidas na apresentação de antígeno em células da microglia e macrófagos, bem como na produção de óxido nítrico por neutrófilos. O seu bloqueio diminui morte celular e lesão cerebral. Por fim, nossa pesquisa mostra que a sinalização NMDAr está envolvido não só com excitotoxicidade, mas também com a modulação da resposta da células inata.

Abstract in English
Stroke is an acute neuroinflammatory disease whose prevalence has increased in recent years. Its symptoms are due to the neuronal death caused by the deprivation of glucose and oxygen. After neuronal death, there is release of cytokines, free radicals and neurotransmitters, among them glutamate. Our goal is to investigate how glutamate through its NMDA receptor modulates the inflammatory response of both resident CNS cells and infiltrating immune cells. For the accomplishment of these studies, we performed experiments in vitro and in vivo with the NMDAr blocker under the hypoxia process. Our results demonstrated that NMDAr signaling modulates the expression of molecules involved in the presentation of antigen in microglia and macrophages cells, as well as in the production of nitric oxide by neutrophils. Its blockage decreases cell death and brain damage. Finally, our research shows that NMDAr signaling is involved not only with excitotoxicity, but also with the modulation of the innate cell response.
