Study of a chemotherapy delivery system, called LDE, with lipid composition similar to the natural low density lipoproteins of the body, denominated by the acronym LDL. LDEs have advantages over commercial chemical forms, since it is able to concentrate in the neoplastic tissues after injection into the circulatory chain, thus being able to target the tumors. LDE can be used as a "carrier" of paclitaxel (PTX) for possible reduction of toxicity and increase of its therapeutic action. The use of non-human primates as in vivo experimental models are of great importance in human health applications due to their anatomical, biochemical and phylogenetic similarities with human primates, generating results that can be interpreted more closely and safely to The phenomena in humans. The aim of the project was to evaluate the chronic toxicity of nanoparticles associated with to chemotherapy Paclitaxel (LDE-PTX) in individuals of the Sapajus apella species, based on the determination of hematological and biochemical parameters and their possible alterations. During the research 15 animals were used, divided into groups: Negative control (CN); Experimental (EXP1 and EXP2) where the animals received LDE-PTX intravenously two different doses of 175 mg / m2 and 250 mg / m2 respectively; and positive control (CP1 and CP2) where the animals intravenously received the drug in commercial form at the same doses used in the experimental group, respectively. Primates were accompanied for 6 cycles of chemotherapy, with interval of 3 weeks. Hematological and biochemical analysis was performed at each cycle through erythrogram and leukogram, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin and globulin, total bilirubin and fractions, glycemia, amylase and serum lipase. E of the sodium and potassium eletrolytes were carried out in the serum of the animals during the collection days. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and submitted to analysis of variance ANOVA, with Bonferroni post-test with significance for p <0.05, through BioEstat®5.3. The obtained results demonstrated advantages of the use of LDE-PTX, since the hematological tests demonstrate that there was a lower toxicity in all the chemotherapeutic cycles and the non-alteration of the majority of the biochemical parameters, demonstrate that the toxicity of the tested drug associated to LDE present smaller Effect toxic than its commercial version. It was concluded from the analysis of the results that hematological and biochemical toxicity was lower in treatment with PTX associated with LDE than treatment of PTX in its commercial form.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-02-24) LEÃO, Danuza Leite; DOMINGUES, Sheyla Farhayldes Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2794753357251149
The main objective of the present study was to establish an efficient semen cryopreservation protocol in Sapajus apella for maintaining sperm viability. For this, we compared the performance of TES-TRIS, CWS and ACP-118® extenders during the seminal coagulum dissolution and cooling. Then, in order to improve the sperm parameters, we also determined the glycerol concentration (3; 5 and 7%) as well as to evaluate the effect of catalase antioxidant (10 µg and 50 µg). Therefore, six adult males of S. apella from the National Primate Center were used. Semen was collected by electro-ejaculation with rectal probe after chemical restraint of animals with ketamine and xylazine hydrochloride. In the first phase of the project, the semen obtained was diluted in TES- TRIS, CWS and ACP®-118 extenders, kept in a water bath at 37 °C. After coagulum dissolution, the semen was cooled in the refrigerator at 4 °C for 90 minutes and evaluated after 28h for motility, vigor and plasma membrane integrity percentage before and after the cooling. ACP®-118 was the best extender to preserve the motility sperm and plasma membrane integrity after 28 hours of incubation. Based on these results, cryopreservation was performed by evaluation of different concentrations of glycerol (3, 5, and 7%). The cryopreserved sperm to 3% glycerol had better results. In the second project phase was performed S. apella semen cryopreservation in ACP®-118 extender supplemented or not with catalase antioxidant (10 µg/mL and 50 µg /mL). All treatments were effective in maintaining sperm parameters and was possible to recovery the post-thaw motility. The catalase 50 treatment was the best for maintenance of the vigor after cooling and plasma membrane integrity in post-thaw sperm. So, we concluded that ACP-118® extender can be efficiently used for S. apella semen cryopreservation added 3% glycerol, moreover, the addition of the catalase antioxidant showed beneficial effect during this process.

Expressão gênica e viabilidade de folículos ovarianos pré-antrais de Sapajus apella congelados e cultivados in vitro
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-03-05) BRITO, Danielle Cristina Calado de; DOMINGUES, Sheyla Farhayldes Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2794753357251149; SANTOS, Regiane Rodrigues dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0500967766886604
The aim of the present study was to develop a freezing protocol for the preservation of preantral follicles from Sapajus apella (capuchin monkeys). To this end, ovarian fragments were exposed to different cryoprotectant solutions, added or not by antioxidants (selenium or trolox), frozen and in vitro cultived by 24 hours. Morphology, ultrastructure, viability, oxidative stress and mocelular analyses were performed. The collection site was in the Primates Nacional Center (CENP) and nine healthy mature female capuchin monkeys were used. Ovarian biopsies of 1 mm3 were collected by laparoscopy. The follicles were classified accordingly to their developmental phase in primordial, primary or secondary. Follicular viability scored using fluorescent markers (propidium iodide and Hoechst). qRT-PCR was used to evaluate the expression of hormones and growth factors. TEAC was used to measure oxidative stress in the tissue. In cryoprotectant solution containing trolox did not affected follicular morphology and gene expression. Cryopreservation resulted in higher rates of follicular viability when trolox was present in the solution, but expression of genes encoding BMP4 and KL was negatively affected. Our findings show a favorable effect of adding trolox to a cryopreservation solution. However, follicular viability and gene expression was affected after in vitro culture.

Expressão gênica e viabilidade de folículos pré-antrais inclusos em fragmentos de córtex ovarianos cultivados in vitro de macaco-prego (Sapajus apella)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) BRITO, Adriel Behn de; SANTOS, Regiane Rodrigues dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0500967766886604; DOMINGUES, Sheyla Farhayldes Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2794753357251149
The aim of the present study was to investigate the stability of three reference genes in the ovarian tissue of capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella) and to develop a short-term in vitro culture system for the activation and growth of preantral follicles from capuchin monkeys. To this end two experiment were conducted as follow. Experiment I: Fresh and cryoprotectant exposed ovarian biopsies were used. Both fresh and exposed ovarian tissues were subjected to total RNA extraction and synthesis of cDNA. After amplification of cDNA by real-time PCR, the GeNorm, Bestkeeper and Normfinder software were used to evaluate the stability of glyceraldehyde-2-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) and TATA-binding protein (TBP). Experiment II: Ovarian tissue from four healthy mature females were collected and divided into nine ovarian cortical pieces of 1 mm³. One ovarian fragment (control) was immediately divided in two pieces, which were subjected to viability analysis or qRT-PCR. The remaining 8 fragments were individually cultured in vitro in a medium consisting of TCM supplemented with 100 ng/mL EGF (T1), either or not added with 10 μM BME (T2), 100 ng/mL BMP4 (T3), 25 IU PMSG (T4), 10 μM BME and 100 ng/mL BMP4 (T5), 10 μM BME, 25 IU PMSG (T6), 100 ng/mL BMP4, 25 IU PMSG (T7) or 10 μM BME, 100 ng/mL BMP4, 25 IU PMSG (T8). Results demonstrated that, in the ovarian tissue from capuchin monkeys, HPRT1 and TBP were the most suitable reference genes and thus could be used as parameters to normalize data in future studies. In contrast, GAPDH appeared as the least stable gene among the tested reference genes. After in vitro culture, all treatments resulted in similar percentages of viable preantral follicles. Ovarian tissue cultured in the presence of EGF + BME/BMP4/PMSG resulted in an increased rate of follicular activation and growth, as well as in the up regulation of AMH, BMP15 and GDF9, specific markers of follicular development. In conclusion, HPRT1 and TBP are the most stable reference genes in fresh and cryoprotectant exposed ovarian tissue from capuchin monkeys. Preantral follicles are able to develop in vitro when cultured in a medium supplemented with PMSG, BME and BMP4. Follicular viability, however, was maintained independently on the culture medium. The use of growth factors as markers of follicular development was crucial to identify the best culture medium.

Expressão gênica e viabilidade de folículos pré-antrais submetidos à vitrificação do córtex ovariano de Sapajus apella (macacas-prego)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-05-25) SANTANA, Luana de Nazaré da Silva; DOMINGUES, Sheyla Farhayldes Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2794753357251149; SANTOS, Regiane Rodrigues dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0500967766886604
Vitrification is a biotech that has been increasingly showing promise in several species, among them domestic ruminants (such as sheep, goats and cows) and in nonhuman primates (NHP) (as cynomologus and rhesus), and consists in reducing ultra-rapid temperature by the presence of high concentrations of cryoprotective agents (PCA's) in liquid nitrogen. Thus the aim of this study was to develop a methodology for cryopreservation by vitrification of preantral follicles (PF's) in Sapajus apella. For this purpose, we used females (n = 9) adult Sapajus apella squad belonging to the National Primate Center (CENP). Samples were taken from the ovarian cortex by laparotomy so as not to destabilize the animals reproducibly. The fragments exposed to 8 different treatments: Ethylene glycol (EG) + 40% Sucrose (Sac) dissolved in 0.5 M TCM-199, added to Selenium (2,5, 5 or 10 ng / ml) or Trolox (25, 50 or 100 mM). Following exposure to cryoprotective agents was analyzed follicular viability before and after vitrification, from the follicular morphology, expression of Hsp70 genes, Erp29, Erp60 SOD1 and through the analysis by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), in addition to performing measurement of oxidative stress thru the TEAC (English Total Equivalent Antioxidant Activity). The analyzes showed that vitrification allowed the maintenance of follicular viability by previous exposure to concentrations of ACP's alevadas, especially when supplemented with 50 mM trolox (which resulted in high follicular survival rates) and increased expression of the antioxidant enzyme SOD1. While in the absence of it was observed an increase in rates of follicles degenerate and vacuolated, and reduced expression of the antioxidant enzyme SOD1 and increased expression of chaperone Erp29.

Modelo de hemiparkinsonismo por 6-hidroxidopamina em primatas Sapajus apella: características comportamentais e histológicas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-10) PEDROSA, Laís Resque Russo; KREJCOVÁ, Lane Viana; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2604693973864638; GOMES, Bruno Duarte; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4932238030330851
Despite considerable side effects and decreasing effectiveness over time, the treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) has remained largely unchanged for over 50 years. However, several aspects of the disease's pathophysiology remain poorly understood. The development of new therapies and the elucidation of mechanisms related to the disease are among the biggest current challenges in neuroscience research. In this context, non-human primate (NHP) experimental models are particularly relevant due to their high phylogenetic proximity, encephalization rate, and complex motor and behavioral repertoire, confer high predictive power for clinical outcomes. The 6-hydroxydopamine inoculation model of parkinsonism mimics relevant features of PD and may represent an important experimental refinement in primates. The present study aimed to develop a model of hemiparkinsonism induction in Sapajus apella primates, characterizing the behavioral and histological aspects. For this purpose, adult male Sapajus apella monkeys were subjected to motor tests to observe motor performance before and after unilateral injection of 6-OHDA in the nigrostriatal pathways at concentrations of 4 (N=1), 10 (N=1) and 40 (N=1) mg/μl in the dominant hemisphere. As a surgical control (N=1), one animal underwent surgery containing only solvent. Stereotaxic coordinates for the 12 6-OHDA inoculation sites were calculated based on individual Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. Immunohistochemistry for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) was performed on 50 μm coronal sections of the midbrain. As a statistical analysis, two-way ANOVA was used to verify possible differences in behavioral parameters and neuronal exclusion between groups, considering the dominant (therefore affected) and non-dominant hemispheres. There were significant changes in motor patterns of dominance and manual preference after surgical intervention. 6-OHDA induction in the nigrostriatal pathways appears to be a good method of inducing parkinsonism with the induction of detectable symptoms in primates.

(2014-08) FERNANDES, Luanna de Melo Pereira; NASCIMENTO, Elder Monteiro do; NUNES, Camila Santa Rosa; VIEIRA, Elma Pinto; LINS, Paula Dias; TEIXEIRA, Francisco Bruno; COUTO, Roberta Souza D'Almeida; LIMA, Rafael Rodrigues
This paper aimed the anatomical study including morphometric, ultrastructural and physical properties of permanent teeth of Sapajus apella primate. Ten adult male monkeys were studied. The teeth were evaluated for their length, root anatomy (external and internal considering the number of roots and canals), direction and shape of the root canal, density and diameter of the tubular root canal, dentin microhardness, and composition. The root anatomy showed specificity regarding the number of roots of the second premolar and the presence of the third premolar. We observed a decrease in the number and diameter of dentinal tubules along the root canal, a statistically significant difference when compared with the apical and cervical regions. Similarities with human teeth were found in regard to microhardness values and proportion of chemical elements in the root dentin.
