Resumo
Esta investigação teve como objetivo avaliar: 1. a viabilidade de utilização da curcumina como agente fotossensibilizador (PS) em Terapia Fotodinâmica (PDT) para inativação de uma cepa padrão de Candida albicans e seu efeito tóxico sobre culturas celulares de macrófagos; 2. a efetividade da PDT mediada pela curcumina para inativação de suspensões planctônicas e biofilmes formados por diferentes isolados clínicos de C. albicans, Candida tropicalis e Candida glabrata; 3. a fotoinativação de C. albicans, presente em candidose induzida em camundongos, por meio da utilização de diferentes concentrações de curcumina. No primeiro estudo, suspensões planctônicas de C. albicans (ATCC 90028) foram expostas a nove concentrações de curcumina (0,005; 0,01; 0,05; 0,1; 0,5; 1, 5, 10 e 20μM) e oito doses de luz (1,32; 2,64; 3,96; 5,28; 6,60; 13,20 e 26,4J/cm2). O efeito de diferentes tempos de pré-irradiação (PIT), a possível captação de curcumina pelas células fúngicas e participação do oxigênio singlete na fotoinativação também foram avaliados. Adicionalmente, a PDT mediada pela curcumina foi avaliada em biofilmes formados pela cepa de referência de C. albicans e sobre culturas celulares de macrófagos. Além disso, as características ópticas da solução de curcumina foram investigadas em função da dose de luz utilizada. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise descritiva, Análise de Variância (ANOVA) e Kruskal-Wallis (α= 5%). As suspensões planctônicas de C. albicans foram completamente inativadas com a utilização de 20μM de curcumina e 5,28J/cm2. Além disso, foi observada redução significativa na viabilidade celular dos biofilmes de C. albicans. O efeito fotodinâmico foi acentuado pela presença da curcumina durante a iluminação...
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate: 1. the Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) mediated by curcumin for in vitro inactivation of a reference strain of Candida albicans and its citotoxic effects against a macrofage cell line; 2. the effectiveness of PDT mediated by curcumin to inactivate clinical isolates of C. albicans, Candida tropicalis and Candida glabrata, both in planktonic and biofilm phases; 3. the photoinactivation of C. albicans in a murine model of oral candidiasis using different curcumin concentrations. In the first study, suspensions of C. albicans were treated with nine curcumin concentrations (0.005; 0.01; 0.05; 0.1; 0.5; 1, 5, 10 and 20μM) and exposed to LED light at different fluences (1.32; 2.64; 3.96; 5.28; 6.60; 13.20 and 26.4J/cm2). The effect of the pre-irradiation time (PIT) on PDT effectiveness, the uptake of curcumin by C. albicans cells and the possible involvement of singlet oxygen in the photodynamic action was also evaluated. In addition, curcumin-mediated PDT was assessed against biofilms. Similar protocols were tested on a macrophage cell line and the effect was evaluated by MTT and SEM analysis. The optical properties of curcumin were investigated as a function of illumination fluence. Data were analyzed with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Kruskal-Wallis test (α= 5%). The results showed a statistically significant reduction in C. albicans viability after PDT (p<0.05), for both planktonic and biofilm cultures. Photodynamic effect was greatly increased with the presence of curcumin in the surrounding media and the PIT of 20 minutes improved PDT effectiveness. Although PDT was phototoxic to macrophages, the therapy was more effective in inactivating the yeast cell than the defense cell. The spectral changes showed a high photobleaching rate of curcumin. In the second study, planktonic... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
