Introdução: O exercício intervalado de alta intensidade é uma opção viável para a obtenção de bons resultados físicos, otimizando tempo. Intervenções dietéticas podem ser um complemento para potencializar ganhos. A creatina é uma das suplementações mais utilizadas e está relacionada com potencial aumento de força e de massa magra. Objetivo: analisar o impacto da suplementação de creatina junto ao treinamento intervalado de alta intensidade sobre a expressão proteica do receptor do IGF-1 no tecido muscular, concentrações sanguíneas de lactato e glicemia. Materiais e métodos: Trinta e sete ratos Wistar machos com 75 dias de vida no começo do experimento foram randomizados e separados em três grupos: A (treinado sem suplementação, n= 13 animais), B (treinado suplementado com creatina + carboidrato, n= 12 animais) e C (treinado suplementado com creatina, n= 12 animais). O protocolo de treinamento consistiu em 1 minuto de exercício a 110% da velocidade de fadiga do teste máximo em esteira, seguidos por 30 segundos a 40%, totalizando 30 minutos, cinco vezes por semana, durante 32 dias corridos. A suplementação de creatina e creatina + carboidrato ocorreu durante todo o período de treinamento, duas horas antes do exercício. Resultados: Foi verificada uma melhoria no desempenho físico dos ratos em todos os grupos. Bem como uma maior expressão proteica do IGF-1R nos grupos treinados suplementados (B e C) quando comparados ao grupo treinado sem suplementação (A). Glicemia e lactato não apresentaram diferenças entre os grupos. Conclusão: a suplementação de creatina está envolvida no aumento da expressão proteica do IGF-1R. ABSTRACT Creatine supplementation increases expression of IGF-1 receptor in muscle tissue of wistar after High-intensity interval training High Intensity Interval Training is a good option for obtaining physical results optimizing time. Dietary interventions can be a complement to potentiate gains. Creatine is one of the most commonly supplements used and is associated with potential increase in strength. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of creatine supplementation on high-intensity interval training in the protein expression of the IGF-1 receptor in muscle tissue and in the blood lactate and glycemia concentrations. Thirty-seven male Wistar rats with 75 days at the beginning of the experiment were randomized and separated into three groups: A (Training without supplementation, 13 animals), B (Training supplemented with Creatine plus Carbohydrate, 12 animals) and C (Training supplemented with Creatine, 12 animals). The training protocol consisted of 1 minute of exercise at 110% of the fatigue velocity of the maximum treadmill test, followed by 30 seconds to 40%, totaling 30 minutes, five times a week, for thirty-two consecutive days. Supplementation of creatine and creatine + carbohydrate occurred throughout the training period, two hours before exercise. There was an improvement in the physical performance of the rats in all groups. As well as increased protein expression of IGF-1R in the supplemented trained groups (B and C) when compared to the trained group without supplementation (A). Glycemia and lactate did not present differences between groups. It is concluded that creatine supplementation is involved in the increase of the protein expression of IGF-1R.

Introdução: Crianças nascidas pequenas para a idade gestacional (PIG) apresentam maior risco de permanecerem com baixa estatura na vida adulta. Os fatores de crescimento insulino-símile tipo 1 e 2 (IGF-1 e IGF-2) são os principais fatores endócrinos determinantes do crescimento fetal. A maioria das ações conhecidas do IGF-1 e 2 é mediada via um receptor tirosina quinase, conhecido como IGF-1R. Recentemente, a insensibilidade ao IGF-1 foi identificada como uma das causas de retardo de crescimento em crianças nascidas PIG que não apresentaram recuperação espontânea do crescimento na vida pós-natal. Crianças afetadas apresentavam níveis elevados de IGF-1, IGFBP-3 além de microcefalia. O papel de defeitos pósreceptor na sinalização do IGF-1 como causa de retardo de crescimento pré e pós-natal ainda não foi investigado. Objetivo: Analisar in vitro a ação do IGF-1 em fibroblastos de crianças nascidas PIG. Material e métodos: Desenvolvemos cultura de fibroblastos de 2 controles (C1 e C2) e de 4 pacientes nascidos PIG (SGA1, SGA2, SGA3 e SGA4) com suspeita de insensibilidade ao IGF-1 por ausência de recuperação do crescimento na vida pós natal, resposta insatisfatória ao tratamento com hGH apesar de níveis normais/elevados de IGF-1. Foi confirmado do ponto de vista molecular que um dos pacientes (SGA1) apresenta Síndrome de Sílver- Russell com perda da metilação do alelo paterno da região ICR1 (imprinting center region 1) importante para a expressão do IGF-2. Defeitos no gene do IGF1 e IGF1R foram afastados por sequenciamento direto. As ações do IGF- 1 foram determinadas por ensaios de proliferação, análise da produção de IGFPB-3 em meio de cultura e estudos de fosforilação de proteínas da via de sinalização do IGF-1 em fibroblastos (AKT e ERK). Resultados: As linhagens SGA1, SGA2 e SGA3 proliferaram respectivamente 31%, 60% e 78% a menos sob estímulo de IGF-1 em relação ás linhagens controles. Já a linhagem SGA4 apresentou comportamento semelhante ás linhagens controles. N., Introduction: Children born small for gestational age (SGA) have a higher risk of staying with short stature in adulthood. The insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2) are the main endocrine factor determining fetal growth. Most of the known actions of IGFs are mediated by IGF-1R, a tyrosine kinase receptor. Recently, the IGF-1 insensitivity was identified causing growth retardation in children born SGA who who did not present spontaneous catch-up growth in postnatal life. Affected children had elevated IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels in addition to microcephaly. The role of post receptor defects in IGF-1 signaling on the deficit of growth is still unclear. Objective: To assess IGF-1 action and signaling in vitro in fibroblasts from SGA children. Methods: Fibroblasts cell cultures were developed from 2 controls (C1 and C2) and 4 patients with pre- and post-natal growth retardation (SGA1, SGA2, SGA3 and SGA4). IGF-1 insensitivity was demonstrated by severe pre and postnatal growth impairment without any evident cause, IGF1 SDS> 0 and poor growth response during high doses of hGH treatment. Three SGA patients presented microcephaly. Defects in the gene of the IGF1 and IGF1R were excluded by direct sequencing. One patient (SGA1) presents the Silver- Russell syndrome (SRS) with loss of methylation of the paternal allele in the ICR1 (imprinting center region 1) chromosome 11p15, important for IGF-2 expression. IGF-1 action was assessed by cell proliferation by colorimetric assay. IGF-1 signaling was assessed by AKT and ERK phosphorylation after IGF-1 stimulation through SDS-PAGE of intracellular extract followed by immunoblotting with specific antibodies. The expression of IGF1R and IGFBP3 gene was determined by Real-time quantitative PCR and the levels of the IGF-1R and IGBP-3 protein by direct immunoblotting. Results: The SGA1, SGA2 and SGA3 cell lines proliferated 31%, 60% and 78% less under IGF-1 stimulation in comparison of controls fibroblasts, respectively. The exp.

The present study addresses the effect of targeting type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) with antisense strategies in in vivo growth of breast cancer cells. Our research was carried out on C4HD tumors from an experimental model of hormonal carcinogenesis in which the synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) induced mammary adenocarcinomas in Balb/c mice. We employed two different experimental strategies. With the first one we demonstrated that direct intratumor injection of phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS[S]ODNs) to IGF-IR mRNA resulted in a significant inhibition of C4HD tumor growth. In the second experimental strategy, we assessed the effect of intravenous (i.v.) injection of AS [S]ODN on C4HD tumor growth. This systemic treatment also resulted in significant reduction in tumor growth. The antitumor effect of IGF-IR AS[S]ODNs in both experimental protocols was due to a specific antisense mechanism, since growth inhibition was dose-dependent and no abrogation of tumor proliferation was observed in mice treated with phosphorothioate sense ODNs (S[S]ODNs). In addition, IGF-IR expression was inhibited in tumors from mice receiving AS[S]ODNs, as compared to tumors from control groups. We then investigated signal transduction pathways modulated in vivo by AS[S]ODNs treatment. Tumors from AS[S]ODN-treated mice of both intratumoral and intravenous protocols showed a significant decrease in the degree of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) tyrosine phosphorylation. Activation of two of the main IGF-IR signaling pathways, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K)/Akt and p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) was abolished in tumors growing in AS[S]ODN-treated animals. Moreover, ErbB-2 tyrosine phosphorylation was blocked by in vivo administration of AS[S]ODNs. On the other hand, we found no regulation of either progesterone receptor expression or activity by in vivo AS[S]ODNs administration. Our results for the first time demonstrated that breast cancer growth can be inhibited by direct in vivo administration of IGF-IR AS[S]ODNs. Fil: Salatino, Mariana.
