RESUMO

The aplication of nanotechnology emerges with potential for application in the biomedical area, pathological diagnosis and treatment, drug transport and intracellular transport of molecules. Among the nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (NT) belong to a new class of material for application in the biomedical area. Due to its small size, the NT can be internalized by various cells such as phagocytes and tumor cells. Although several mechanisms of internalization of nanoparticles have been described, the mechanism by which this occurs is not well understood. The MARCO receptor, which is a cell membrane receptor expressed on macrophages, dendritic cells and some endothelial cells and is linked to the removal of inert particles appears to be related to the internalization of NT. Thus, the aim was to study the internalization of NT by macrophages (MO), dendritic cells (DC) cells and Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) and its relationship with the expression of receptor MARCO. As well as studying the production of cytokines by DC and MO were incubated with NT. The MO were obtained from the spleen and the DC obtained from bone marrow of C57BL / 6 and 3LL cell lines were cultured in our laboratory. The cells were incubated with NT (multi wall) , labeled with PKH26 dye at different times. DC, MO and 3LL internalize the NT, but only the DC and MO express MARCO. 3LL cells internalize despite large amount of NT at 12 and 24 hours, but not express MARCO. By blocking the receptor with anti-MARCO in MO and DC, were decreased the internalization of NT. The results demonstrate that DC internalize more NT than other cells and have the highest expression of MARCO. Studies on structural changes in the cell were observed by Raman spectroscopy. The analysis of gene expression for cytokines showed increased expression of mRNA for proinflammatory cytokine TNF in MO and MO incubated with NT.
