Resumo
O aumento da atividade dos radicais livres e da produção de citocinas pró-inflamatórias por monócitos pode estar envolvido na patogênese da pré-eclâmpsia. A silibinina é o componente mais ativo da silimarina (Silybum marianum), um flavonóide polifenólico que possui efeitos anti-oxidante e anti-inflamatório. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito da silibinina sobre a produção de citocinas pró e anti-inflamatórias, bem como sobre a liberação de ânion superóxido (O2 -) por monócitos de gestantes com pré-eclâmpsia.Foram selecionadas 30 gestantes com préeclâmpsia (PE), 30 gestantes normais (GN) e 30 mulheres normais nãográvidas (NG). Monócitos de sangue periférico foram incubados na presença ou ausência de silibinina nas concentrações de 5 e 50 g/mL por 60min e, estimulados ou não com ester de forbol (PMA) para determinação de O2 -. Estes monócitos também foram estimulados ou não com lipopolissacáride (LPS) por 18h e, no sobrenadante das culturas foram determinadas, pela técnica de ELISA, as seguintes citocinas: fator de necrose tumoral-alfa (TNF- ), Interleucinas (IL-) IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, fator estimulador de colônias de granulócitos e monócitos (GM-CSF) e fator de crescimento e transformação (TGF- . A atividade da enzima superóxido dismutase (SOD) foi avaliada em hemolisado de eritrócitos dos três grupos estudados.Níveis significativamente maiores de O2 - foram liberados por monócitos de gestantes com PE quando comparados com GN e NG, confirmando o estado ativado dessas células. A atividade da SOD foi significativamente maior no grupo de gestantes com PE. Os níveis endógenos de TNFforam significativamente mais elevados nas pacientes com PE, quando comparados com os grupos GN e NG, enquanto os níveis de IL-10 foram significativamente menores nas gestantes com PE. A capacidade de produção de citocinas pelos...
Increased free radical activity and high proinflammatory cytokine production by monocytes may be implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Silibinin is a major active component of silymarin (Silybum marianum), a polyphenolic plant flavonoid that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study investigated the in vitro effect of silibinin on monocyte production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, as well as on superoxide anion (O2-) release in pregnant women with preeclampsia.Thirty preeclamptic (PE), 30 healthy pregnant (HP) and 30 healthy non-pregnant (NP) women were included. Peripheral blood monocytes were incubated with or without silibinin at 5 and 50ug/mL for 60 min, and stimulated with or without phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) for the assessment of O2-. These cells were also cultured with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 18h and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-15, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF- 1) in monocyte culture supernatants were determined by ELISA. The activity of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) was evaluated in erythrocyte lisates of the three groups studied.Monocytes of preeclamptic patients release significantly higher levels of O2 - in comparison to HP and NP women confirming the activation state of these cells. SOD activity in erythrocytes was significantly higher in preeclamptic patients. The endogenous levels of TNFwere significantly higher in PE patients than in HP and NP groups, while IL-10 production was significantly lower in PE women. The levels of IL-6, IL-12 and GM-CSF spontaneously produced by monocytes were higher in HP and PE groups than in NP women. The capacity of cytokine production by LPS-stimulated monocytes was preserved in all the three groups studied... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
