  • Descrição: Objetivo: Despite the well-established anti-intiflamatory and immunosuppressive actions of glucocorticoids (GCs), these hormones, released in stressful situations, can increase inflammatory process and compromise the ability of neurons to survive when associated with neurotoxic insults. The transcription factor NF-_B regulates numerous genes that play important roles in inflammation, cellular signaling and cellular stress response and can be directly or indirectly modulated by GCs. In this study, we have investigated the role of GCs in LPS-induced activation of NF-_B in the frontal cortex (FCx), using chronic unpredictable stress (USt) as experimental model. Métodos e Resultados: Non-stressed and USt male Wistar rats were treated, twenty-four hours after USt, with saline or LPS (1 mg/kg, i.v.) and were decapitated two hour later. Gel shift assays showed that USt induced a further increase in LPS-induced activation of NF-_B in FCx. Treatment with RU-486, a GCs receptor antagonist, 30 minutes before LPS was able to block this potentiation in FCx. Indeed, western blot assay has showed that USt potentiated the translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-_B to the nucleus induced by LPS and the RU treatment blunted this effect, suggesting that the potentiation induced by GCs in the LPS-induced NF-_B binding activity could be, in part, mediated by the increased p65 translocation to the nucleus. Conclusões: These results indicate that high levels of GCs induced by
    stress do not have the expected anti-inflammatory effects and suggest a possible mechanism by which this could be occurring. To further understand the generality of these effects in the FCx, we are examining the effects of GCs on LPSinduced expression of pro-inflamatory genes (iNOS, TNF-_ and IL-1_) in this region.
