Atividade imunomoduladora do óxido nítrico na resposta in vitro de células mononucleares de recém-natos e adultos.

Abstract in Portuguese
O período neonatal é marcado por uma maior susceptibilidade a diversas infecções, devido a uma dificuldade de gerar respostas pró-inflamatórias e de perfil Th1. As atividades imunorreguladoras do NO vem chamando a atenção nos últimos anos. Assim, decidiu-se avaliar se o NO era capaz de modular a resposta de neonatos, revertendo esse perfil anti-inflamatório e Th2 característico deste período. Células mononucleares de adultos e neonatos foram isoladas e estimuladas com agonistas de TLR, ou PHA na presença do inibidor de NOS, L-NAME, ou do doador de NO, NOC-18. A nível inato, o uso de L-NAME causou uma menor secreção de citocinas inflamatórias, em ambos os grupos, enquanto que o de NOC-18 não modulou essa secreção. O estímulo com PHA, em conjunto com NOC-18, causou um aumento na secreção de IL-4, IL-2, IL-10 e TNF-α pelas células de adultos. Nos neonatos não houve alteração no perfil de citocinas secretadas, mas houve uma maior ativação dos linfócitos T CD4+. Os dados indicam que o NO pode modular de formas diferentes a resposta imune de adultos e neonatos.

Abstract in English
Newborns are more susceptible to infections because their difficulties to develop pro-inflammatory, and Th1 bias responses. NO-immunomodulatory properties have been drawing attention in the last few years. Then, we decided to evaluate whether NO is able to modulate newborn immune responses, reversing this anti-inflammatory and Th2 profile, characteristic of this period. Adult and newborn mononuclear cells were isolated and stimulated with TLR agonists, or PHA in the presence of L-NAME, an NOS inhibitor, or NOC-18, an NO donor. In innate responses, L-NAME decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines release in both groups, however, NOC-18 did not modulate this secretion. PHA stimulus with NOC-18 increased IL-4, IL-2, IL-10 and TNF-α release by adult cells. In neonates there were no change in cytokine release, but there were an increase in T CD4+ lymphocyte activation. Data indicates NO is able to modulate adult and newborn immune responses in different ways.
