L lisina na carcinogênese de epitélios intestinal e urotelial nas ampliações vesicais e ureterosigmoidostomias em ratas

Abstract

The present study evaluated the effects of L lysine in intestinal and urothelial epithelia in augmentation of bladder and ureterosigmoidostomy in rats.A total of 66 female rats 9 weeks old were split divided in to 9 experimental groups. The animals from groups: I , II and III were subjected to bladder augmentation with colon segment (AV) and treated with L lysine, celecoxib and H2O, respectively. The groups: IV, V and VI were subjected to ureterosigmoidostomy (US) treated with L lysine, celecoxib and H2O in that order. Groups: VII, VIII and IX (non- operated controls) received L lysine, celecoxib and H2O respectively. The dosage of L lysine was 150mg/ kg/ body weight and the celecoxib was 20mg/kg/ body weight. The effects of L lysine on the colon epithelium of rats subjected to US was initially evaluated by analysis Aberrant Cripts Foci (ACF) at stereostopic microscopy, after fixation with formaldehyde and staining with methylene blue. Followed by histopathological study of ureteral epithelium, colonic and bladder in all groups, stained with hematoxylin and eosin and PAS Alcian Blue. Rare ACF were found in all mice with US and compared between groups. There was no statistically significant difference between groupsOn histopathology with hematoxylin and eosin, mild to moderate hyperplasia was observed in intestinal and urothelial epithelia at the site of anastomosis in all animals submitted to cystoplasty (Groups I and III), but transitional metaplasia of the intestinal glandular epithelium was more accentuated in Group I (p=0.045). There were no inflammatory cells, dysplasia or atypia. In epithelia of the left ureter and colon of mice with US a mild inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes, moderate to severe intensity, had urothelial hyperplasia of moderate to severe intensity in all the ureters, three polyps in different ureters and inflammatory polyps in colon . There were no dysplasia or atypia. The staining with Alcian Blue, noticed an important decrease of goblet cells and mucin in colon in all operated rats. In the histopathology there is similarity in the quality and quantity of injuries. Thus, we conclude that L-Lysine did not influence the carcinogenesis of intestinal epithelia, and urothelial of rats submitted to US and AV with colon segment, at times, doses and methods evaluated.However, the L-lysine stressed the "urothelial metaplasia" in intestinal segment bladder and ureter transitional hyperplasia in rats subjected to ureterosigmoidostomies.
