چکیده
Justificativa e Objetivos Vários trabalhos têm abordado as citocinas que podem ser estimuladas e liberadas por lesão cirúrgica, trauma, infecção, inflamação e câncer. Níveis elevados circulantes das citocinas parece ter implicações no aparecimento de complicações e retardo da recuperação pós-operatória de pacientes. O objetivo da presente revisão é resumir as informações hoje disponíveis sobre citocinas. Conteúdo As citocinas são moléculas polipeptídicas produzidas por uma grande variedade de células e parecem não ter função na homeostase, sob condições normais. Esses mediadores são responsáveis por respostas locais ou sistêmicas, gerando alterações imunológicas, metabólicas, hemodinâmicas, endócrinas e neurais. Podem ativar respostas b io lóg icas benéf icas , como est imu lação da função antimicrobiana, cicatrização de feridas, mieloestimulação e mobilização de substratos. No entanto, a secreção abundante de citocinas está associada a efeitos deletérios como hipotensão arterial, falência de órgãos e morte. Conclusões Ao concluir esta revisão, fica evidente que as citocinas desempenham um papel de fundamental importância como mediadores de respostas metabólicas, hormonais, imunológicas e hematológicas, que há potencial terapêutico com o bloqueio de sua expressão e que a anestesia pode interferir de alguma forma na sua ativação. No entanto, muitas perguntas não estão ainda respondidas e estudos devem ser realizados nos próximos anos buscando esclarecer as ações das citocinas não só para a experimentação mas também para a prática clínica.

Expression of genes for proinflammatory cytokines in alveolar macrophages during propofol and isoflurane anesthesia.
UNLABELLED Anesthesia and surgery induce macrophage aggregation and neutrophil influx, responses that characterize an inflammatory reaction in the distal airway. We thus evaluated the time-dependent expression of genes for proinflammatory cytokines during propofol and isoflurane anesthesia. We studied patients anesthetized with propofol (n = 20) or isoflurane (n = 20). Alveolar macrophages were...
متن کاملP34: Berberin Exerts Neuroprotective Effects by Modulating Pro and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines in Rat Model of MCAO
Many complicated mechanisms are involved in brain ischemia and the role of inflammatory factors in the progression of post-ischemic injury is inevitable. In present study, anti-inflammatory effect of berberine has been investigated in reperfusion injury after acute ischemic stroke. Male Wistar rats weighing 250-270 gr were randomly divided into four cohorts: healthy rats (control, n=20), sham-o...
متن کاملAnesthesia, cytokines and cancer recurrence
Cytokines are essential mediators for the regulation of both innate and acquired immunity and hematopoiesis. They modulate immune cell signaling, activation, adhesion and functioning. They regulate the individual response to several insults such as infection, inflammation, trauma, and pain. Moreover, the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines is critical for the evolut...
متن کاملEffect of intraocular surgery and ketamine on aqueous and serum cytokines
PURPOSE To determine the effect of intraocular surgery and anesthesia on aqueous and serum cytokines. METHODS Patients undergoing routine cataract surgery under general and local (peribulbar) anesthesia were randomized to those given general anesthetic with and without the use of ketamine and those having local anesthesia. Aqueous and serum levels of cytokines were collected at commencement o...
متن کاملImpact of heparin and short term anesthesia on the quantification of cytokines in laboratory mouse plasma
BACKGROUND Studies have reported that heparin may be unsuitable as an anticoagulant in human plasma samples when quantifying cytokines using multiplex bead array assays. For mouse samples, multiplex assays have been validated for serum and EDTA-plasma, but it remains to be elucidated whether heparin influences the quantification of cytokines, and if so - to what extent. Furthermore, laboratory ...
متن کاملThe Stress Response and Its Functional Implications in the Immune Response After Surgery in Patients with Chronic Inflammation Undergoing Arthroplasty
Surgical injury evokes an injury response involving immunologic mechanisms. Alterations in the immune response after surgery are recognized as physiological reactions of the organism to restore its homeostasis. The immune responses are characterized by the release of cytokines, inflammatory mediators and acute-phase proteins. The activation of immune cells is followed by the release of various ...
