ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the effect of pharmacological modulation of HIF-1 on the expression of IL-33 and IL-17 in a murine model of allergic pulmonary inflam- mation (API) with different degrees of severity. Methods: 5 mice/group received ovalbumin (OVA) 1(mild), 2(moderate) or 3(severe) challenges via i.t. prior to allergen sensitization, in addition to the HIF-1 induction or inhibition groups, received EDHB (OVA+EDHB) i.p. or 2ME (OVA+2ME) i.t. respectively. Control groups received saline solution (SS) in the same way. HE (inflammatory infiltrate), PAS (mucus production) and immunohistochemical staining for HIF-1a, IL-33, IL-17 were performed, quantitatively analyzing by digital pathology. Results: We obtained different degrees of severity with a greater number of challenges, increasing the expression of HIF-1, correlating with the expression of IL-33/IL-17. Increasing or decreasing, respectively by pharmacological modulation. Conclusions: The above suggests that the high expression of HIF-1 favors the production of IL-33 and IL-17 contributing to the damage in lung tissue and the severity of the disease and these can be regulated through the modulation of HIF- 1.
Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de la modulación farmacológica de HIF-1 en la expresión de IL-33 e IL-17 en un modelo murino de inflamación alérgica pulmonar (IAP) con diferentes grados de severidad. Métodos: 5 ratones/grupo recibieron ovoalbúmina (OVA) 1(leve), 2(moderada) o 3(severa) retos vía i.t. previa sensibilización como alergeno, además los grupos de inducción o inhibición de HIF-1a, recibieron EDHB (OVA+EDHB) i.p. o 2ME (OVA+2ME) i.t. respectivamente. Los grupos controles recibieron solución salina (SS) de igual forma. Se realizaron tinciones de HE (infiltrado inflamatorio), PAS (producción de moco) e inmunohistoquímicas de HIF-1a, IL-33, IL-17, analizando cuantitativamente por patología digital. Resultados: Obtuvimos diferentes grados de severidad a mayor número de retos, incrementando la expresión de HIF-1, correlacionando con la expresión de IL- 33/IL-17. Aumentando o disminuyendo, respectivamente por la modulación farmacológica. Conclusiones: Lo anterior sugiere que la alta expresión de HIF-1 favorece la producción de IL-33 e IL-17 contribuyendo al daño en el tejido pulmonar y la severi- dad de la enfermedad y estas pueden ser reguladas a través de la modulación de HIF-1.

Baculoviridae is a large family of arthropod-infective viruses. Recombinant baculoviruses have many applications, the best known is as a system for large scale protein production in combination with insect cell cultures. More recently recombinant baculoviruses have been utilized for the display of proteins of interest with applications in medicine. In the present review we analyze the different strategies for the display of proteins and peptides on the surface of recombinant baculoviruses and provide some examples of the different proteins displayed. We analyze briefly the commercially available systems for recombinant baculovirus production and display and discuss the future of this emerging and powerful technology.
