13. CaracterizaÃÃo BioquÃmica Parcial do LÃtex de Cryptostegia grandiflora R. Br. e AÃÃo Contra o Vetor da Dengue. / Biochemical characterization of latex of Cryptostegia grandiflora and larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti
Cryptostegia grandiflora R. Br. is a shurb belonging to Apocynaceae family popularly known as âunha de bruxaâ. There are few studies available about the latex from this species and preliminary assays had shown its action against Dengue vector. Thus, this study aimed to characterize the biochemical properties of Cr. grandiflora latex and to evaluate the act

14. Estudo das consequências do bloqueio da produção endógena de ácidos graxos sobre a expressão das integrinas e mmps em modelo murino de melanoma / Effects of the fatty synthesis blockage on the integrin and matrix metalloproteases expression in mouse melanoma
O melanoma é, dentre as neoplasias malignas de pele, a de pior prognóstico devido ao seu alto potencial metastático e resistência aos agentes quimioterápicos existentes. A enzima metabólica ácido graxo sintase (FASN, EC2.3.1.85) é a responsável por catalisar a síntese de ácidos graxos saturados de cadeia longa. FASN é um homodímero com massa mol

15. Análise do transcriptoma da glândula produtora de veneno de Loxosceles intermedia (aranhamarrom): perfil de expressão e identificação de novas toxinas. / Effects of metalloproteinas from Brotrops leucurus venon and brown spiders venoms on endothelial cell and components of extracellular matrix.
Loxosceles genus spiders are responsible for accidents all over the world and have clinical importance in the South of Brazil. The venom of these spiders is made up of several toxins, including proteins, which are responsible for the clinical pattern called loxoscelism. To describe the transcriptional profile of the L. intermedia venom gland, we generated a

16. Efeito da solução hipertônica (NaCI 7,5%) no estresse oxidativo e nos processos de morte celular e remodelamento tecidual hepático em pancreatite aguda experimental / Effect of hypertonic saline solution (NaCl 7.5%) on oxidative stress, apoptosis and hepatic tissue remodeling during acute pancreatitis
It has been shown an hepatic injury following pancreatitis and a positive correlation with severity of the disease. Hypertonic Solution (HS) reduced morbidity and mortality in experimental pancreatitis. We hypothesize that hypertonic solution resuscitation of acute pancreatitis (AP) may exert antiinflammatory effects by modulating hepatic oxidative stress, a

17. Collagen XVIII/endostatin expression in experimental endotoxemic acute renal failure
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a frequent complication of Gram-negative sepsis, with a high risk of mortality. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARF is associated with hemodynamic changes that are strongly influenced by the overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) through the cytokine-mediated up-regulation of inducible NO synthase. LPS-induced reductions in systemi

18. Componentes da matriz extracelular e seus reguladores no músculo liso brônquico na asma / Extracellular matrix components and regulators in the airway smooth muscle in asthma
There is an intimate relationship between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and smooth muscle cells within the airways. Few studies have comprehensively assessed the composition of different ECM components and its regulators within the airway smooth muscle (ASM) in asthma. With the aid of image analysis, the fractional area of total collagen and elastic fibres

19. Avaliação de metaloproteinases e de marcadores inflamatorios em pacientes com sindrome metabolica / Assesment of metaloproteinases and pro-inflammatory markers in patients with metabolic syndrome
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) denotes a clustering of cardiovascular and diabetes risk factors. The metalloproteinase (MMPs) are enzymes involved in maintaining the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix and an imbalance between their concentrations and their endogenous inhibitors (TIMPs) may play important role in the cardiovascular modifications associate

20. rACLF, a recombinant snake venom metalloprotease, activates endothelial cells in vitro
Snake venom metalloproteases (SVMPs) comprise a family of snake venom toxins responsible for most of local and systemic effects observed during envenomation by snakes from the Viperidae family. The vascular system and more specifically the endothelium seem to be the preferential targets of these proteins. This work describes the effects of rACLF, a recombina

21. Functionally genetic thrombogenic variants related to P2Y12 platelet receptor and metaloprotease ADAMTS13 in coronary disease patients / Avaliação das variantes genéticas funcionais trombogênicas relacionadas ao receptor plaquetário P2Y12 e à metaloprotease ADAMTS13 em pacientes apresentando doença arterial coronariana
Variantes genéticas trombogênicas podem aumentar o risco de eventos adversos em pacientes com coronariopatia crônica. Estudos prévios demonstraram que o Haplótipo H2 do gene do receptor P2Y12 apresenta uma maior agregação plaquetária e está associado com a presença de isquemia arterial periférica. A metaloprotease ADAMTS13 é responsável pela cli

22. MMP-2 e MMP-9 na patogênese da lesão neural da hanseníase. / MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the patogenesis of neural injury in leprosy.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) form a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that collectively can degrade all components of the extracellular matrix, influencing process such as migration and cellcell interaction. These enzymes play a crucial role in pathological conditions and tecidual injury including diseases of peripheral nervous system and infectiou

23. Análise da expressão gênica no dermatófito Trichophyton rubrum mimetizando a infecção in vitro: pH e diferentes fontes de carbono regulando genes / Analysis of gene expression in the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum during the mimetic infection in vitro: pH and carboun sources are regulating genes
Dermatophytes are a group of fungi filamentous that have the ability to invade keratinized substrates, causing dermatophytosis in humans and animals and only penetrate deeper if the host is immunocompromised. Trichophyton rubrum is an anthropophilic and cosmopolitan fungi, the most common agent of superficial mycoses, which uses cell components such as prote

24. Efeito da solução hipertônica sobre a expressão de proteínas ativadas por choque térmico (HSPs) e atividade de metaloproteinases (MMPs) teciduais na resposta inflamatória em pancreatite aguda experimental / Effect of the hypertonic solution (HS) in the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and metalloproteinases activity (MMPs) in the lung in experimental pancreatitis
Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory process of the pancreas with variable involvement of other organs and systems. The lungs are the most common distant organs affected by severe acute pancreatitis. The immunomodulatory effects of hypertonic solution (HS) provide potential strategies to attenuate inappropriate inflammatory reactions. This study tested
