ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to evaluate an adapter-modified Ussing chamber for assessment of transport physiology in endoscopically obtained duodenal biopsies from healthy cats and dogs, as well as dogs with chronic enteropathies. 17 duodenal biopsies from five cats and 51 duodenal biopsies from 13 dogs were obtained. Samples were transferred into an adapter-modified Ussing chamber and sequentially exposed to various absorbagogues and secretagogues. Overall, 78.6% of duodenal samples obtained from cats responded to at least one compound. In duodenal biopsies obtained from dogs, the rate of overall response ranged from 87.5% (healthy individuals; n = 8), to 63.6% (animals exhibiting clinical signs of gastrointestinal disease and histopathological unremarkable duodenum; n = 15), and 32.1% (animals exhibiting clinical signs of gastrointestinal diseases and moderate to severe histopathological lesions; n = 28). Detailed information regarding the magnitude and duration of the response are provided. The adapter-modified Ussing chamber enables investigation of the absorptive and secretory capacity of endoscopically obtained duodenal biopsies from cats and dogs and has the potential to become a valuable research tool. The response of samples was correlated with histopathological findings.

ABSTRACT

As mutaçoes no receptor de TSH condicionam dois tipos de resposta fenótípica com quadro de hipotireoidismo/eutireoidismo (resistência da célula folicular ao TSH) ou hipertireoidismo (adenoma tóxico, tireotoxicose familiar ou congênita). Na ausência de resposta da célula tireóidea ao TSH nao há elevaçao de AMP cíclico após TSH "in vitro" e verificou-se, a nível molecular, mutaçoes de ponto no gene do receptor de TSH, afetando a cadeia extracelular (posiçoes 583 e 599). Nas três irmas com este defeito, os alelos mutantes foram herdados, respectivamente, da mae (posiçao 583) e do pai (posiçao 599). Anímais com o mesmo tipo de defeito (camundongos hyt/hyt e gatos dfc/dfc) apresentam mutaçao de ponto no IV anel intramembranal (nucleotídeo 1666). Em adenomas tóxicos foram descritas mutaçoes que afetam, com grande freqüência, a VI alça intramembranal do gene do rTSH. Tais mutaçoes podem ser evidenciadas "in vivo" pelo estudo de células tireóideas do nódulo, obtidas por punçao biópsia, onde polimorfismos seriam detectados por enzimas restritivas específicas. Em tireotoxicose nao-autoimune familiar, com transmissao autossômica dominante, também se encontram mutaçoes de ponto em alças intramembranais. Um único caso de hipertireoidismo congênito nao autoimune foi recentemente descrito com substituiçao de prolina por leucina no VI anel intramembranal do receptor de TSH. Conclui-se que mutaçoes no receptor do TSH produzem grande variedade de expressao fenotípica e podem ser responsáveis por outras alteraçoes da fisiopatologia tireóidea.
