Resumo
Rutina e Quercetina são flavonoides encontrados em diversos alimentos, incluindo aqueles indicados como complemento no tratamento de doenças inflamatórias. Durante o processo inflamatório, neutrófilos são as primeiras células a serem recrutadas por estarem diretamente relacionadas à ativação e resolução destes processos. Assim, frequentemente estas células são alvos para novos compostos anti-inflamatórios. A descrição da atividade anti-inflamatória de rutina e quercetina se estende para vários ativadores das vias clássicas dos neutrófilos. O estudo quanto aos compostos forbol ésteres, como PMA (phorbol myristate acetate), que ativam de maneira específica a sinalização da proteína quinase C, ainda são escassos.O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a atividade anti-inflamatória de rutina e quercetina sobre neutrófilos ativados por PMA. Para tanto, foram analisadas etapas importantes do processo inflamatório mediadas pelos neutrófilos: adesão, desgranulação, e liberação das NETs (Neutrophil Extracelular Traps). Nossos resultados demonstraram que, ativação de neutrófilos por PMA: (i) rutina e quercetina não inibem a adesão dos neutrófilos, (ii) quercetina inibe a desgranulção, (iii) ambos inibem a atividade da mieloperoxidase (MPO), assim como (iv) inibem a liberação das NETs na ausência de morte celular. Análises de docking molecular sugerem que tais eventos podem estar relacionados à geração de complexos quercetina/MPO e rutina/elastase.
Rutin and Quercetin are flavonoids found in several foods, including those indicated as a supplement in the inflammatory treatment diseases. During the inflammatory process, neutrophils are the first cells to be recruited. They are directly related to the activation and resolution of these processes. Thus, these cells often target new anti-inflammatory compounds. The description of the anti-inflammatory activity of rutin and quercetin extends to several activators of classical neutrophil pathways. Studies involving forbol esters compounds, as PMA ((phorbol myristate acetate), which activate in a specific manner the protein kinase signalling, it is still poor. The aim of this study was to analyze the anti-inflammatory activity of rutin and quercetin on PMA-activated neutrophils. For this, important steps of the inflammatory process mediated by neutrophils were analyzed: adhesion, degranulation, and release of NETs (Neutrophil Extracelular Traps). Our results demonstrated that neutrophil activation by PMA: (i) rutin and quercetin did not inhibit neutrophil adhesion, (ii) quercetin inhibited degranulation, (iii) both inhibited myeloperoxidase activity (MPO), as well as (iv) both Inhibit the release of NETs in the absence of cell death. Molecular docking analyzes suggest that such events may be related to the generation of quercetin/MPO and rutin/elastase complexes.
