A Biologia molecular das doenças inflamatórias intestinais

Abstract: RESUMO: Com elevada prevalência, a Doença de Crohn e a retocolite ulcerativa apresentam mecanismos fisiopatológicos os quais permanecem como um grande desafio apesar de muitas décadas de pesados investimentos em pesquisa. Entretanto, o desenvolvimento de técnicas de análise da biologia molecular tem proporcionado a identificação de um grande número de moléculas relacionadas a estas doenças as quais poderão representar um importante auxílio na compreensão de seus complexos aspectos. Existem fortes evidências ho… Show more

“…The major technological breakthrough occurred over the past few years, especially in the last decade, has enabled the development of analytical techniques of molecular biology of tissues and also brought a renewal of hope on the possibility of answers in the field of IBD (13) . Although groups of family members have been described in CD, genes considered as susceptibility factors were not pointed until 2001, when NOD2/CARD15 (11) was identified.…”

“…From extensive studies of the human genome (Genome-wide Association Studies; GWAS), a gene of apparent relevance to CD was identified. Named as ATG16L1 (autophagy-related 16-like 1), its product plays an important role in the innate immune response and in the resistance to intracellular pathogens (9,13,14) . Several polymorphisms have been identified in the gene ATG16L1, highlighting the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) T300A (rs2241880), which appears to confer an increased risk of developing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) (3,5,8,17,19) .…”

“…Experimental studies demonstrate the impossibility of developing this inflammation in the absence of bacteria and researches have tried for many years trying to identify a possible causative agent of inflammatory bowel diseases. Studies suggest that chronic inflammatory intestinal activity seems, paradoxically to be triggered by bacteria belonging to the normal commensal which take on microbiota in situations as yet unknown, a pathological role that can activate the local immune apparatus [24].…”

“…A presença de secreções no estômago e no intestino delgado proximal, associadas a presença de um trânsito mais acelerado, contribuem para uma redução das bactérias nestes órgãos. Já quando há uma ausência das secreções estomacais e intestinais e pelo retardo do trânsito intestinal, a colonização bacteriana aumenta exponencialmente no intestino delgado distal, causando assim um aumento acentuado da flora bacteriana no cólon, na qual coabitam cerca de 400-500 espécies em um volume considerado entre 1010 e 1012 bactérias/g de conteúdo fecal ou 60% do total de fezes presente no intestino grosso (PINHO, 2008).…”
