RESUMO
A enterite induzida pela radioterapia (RT) é uma desordem da função intestinal resultante do tratamento radioterápico de tumores pélvicos e abdominais. Tem sido demonstrado que a suplementação com glutamina durante o período pré e pós radioterapia abdominal, parece prevenir as complicações da enteropatia provocada pela radioterapia. A desnutrição é muito freqüente no paciente oncológico, tem sido considerada um fator de prognóstico ruim para a sobrevida e resposta ao tratamento. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos profiláticos e terapêuticos da suplementação oral da glutamina sobre o conteúdo protéico e estrutura da mucosa intestinal em ratos adultos desnutridos submetidos à radiação. Ratos Wistar foram divididos em 3 grupos C dieta controle (23% proteína); restrição protéica (RP - 8% proteína); restrição calórica (RC - dieta controle restrita à 60% da ingestão). Após 21 dias, os animais foram subdivididos CGlutA, RPGlutA ou RCGlutA com suplementação oral de Glutamina (125 mg/100g/p.c) por 5 dias antes da RT; e CGlic, RPGlic ou RCGlic com suplementação de Glicina. Os animais receberam dose única de 1000 cGy no abdômen. Após radioterapia os animais dos grupos GlutA foram subdivididos em CGlutA+GlicP, RPGlutA+GlicP e RCGlutA+GlicP, que corresponde aos animais que receberam glutamina antes da RT e glicina após a RT e CGlutAP, RPGlutAP e RCGlutAP que corresponde aos animais que receberam glutamina antes e após RT. Os animais foram monitorizados diariamente quanto à ingestão e peso corporal. No 6° dia pós RT foram sacrificados e o jejuno retirado para análise estereológica, histopatológica e dosagem de proteínas. A suplementação com glutamina antes da radioterapia nos animais controles (CGlutA+GlicP) resultou em maiores concentrações de proteína na mucosa intestinal, aumento no número de mitoses por cripta e ausência de inflamação, porém não foram observadas alterações na área de superfície das vilosidades intestinais...
ABSTRACT
The enteritis induced by radiation therapy (XRT) is an intestinal disorder that occur as consequence of cancer abdominal irradiation. It has been demonstrated the protective role of glutamine supplemented diet before abdominal irradiation. Malnutrition is prevalent in oncologic pacients and has been considered a bad prognostic factor for treatment response. However, there are scanty data about the effects of the glutamine when the malnutrition is associated with the radiation injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prophylactic and therapeutic effects of glutamine, administered orally before and after wholeabdominal radiation, on gut mucosal structure and nutritional status of adult rats. The animals four- month old were assigned to one of the following groups control (C), diet with 23% protein; protein-restricted (PR), diet with 8% protein; energy restriction (ER), control diet restricted to 60% of ingestion. After 21 days of diet treatment, the animals from C and PR groups were randomized to a glutamine or glicine treatment 5 days before XRT in CGlutB; PRGlutB, CGlicB; PRGlicB; CGlutB; RCGlutB, RCGlicB; RCGlicB. The glutamine or glicine were oral administered (125mg/100g body weight). All animals were subjected to a single dose of 1000 cGy x-radiation (227 cGy per minute). After radiation the groups GlutB were randomized in CGlutB+GlicA, PRGlutB+GlicA and ERGlutB+GlicA, that correspond to animals which received glutamine before XRT and glicine after XRT, and CGlutBA, PRGlutBA, ERGlutBA that correspond to animals which received glutamine before and after XRT. Body weight and food intake will be monitored daily, from beginning treatment diet. Six days after radiation the animals will be sacrificed with a lethal dose of pentobarbital and blood was obtained by cardiac puncture. The jejunum was removed and processed for histologic, stereologic evaluation and protein concentration. The control animals (CGlutB+GlicA) had higher protein concentrations in gut mucosal, higher number of mitoses per crypt and inflamation absence, but no changes in jejunal vilous area. The CGlutBA had a higher jejunal vilous area, higher number of mitoses per crypt and inflamation absence. The groups PRGlic and ERGlic, which no received glutamine, had higher protein concentrations in gut mucosal and no changes in jejunal vilous area compared to control animals, while ER group had a lower number of mitoses per crypt and higher level of inflamation...
