A major problem after transplantation seems to be related to deficient bronchial scarring, leading to stenosis and dehiscence (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib2">2</a>). Studies have reported that, after transplantation, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">in situ</span> mucociliary transport velocity (MCTV) and ciliary beat frequency (CBF) are reduced and that there is an increase in mucus stiffness (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib3">3–5</a>0. This reduction leads to mucus retention, causing pulmonary infection. This condition, associated with immunosuppression protocols and with the lung being a transplanted organ exposed to environmental air, explains why infection is frequent in these patients.</p><p id="para30" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another extremely relevant factor associated with the increase in infections in such patients is related to immunosuppression. A few years ago, immunosuppression protocols after organ transplantation were restricted and quite often limited to the empirical and unmonitored administration of azathioprine and prednisone. The introduction of multiple drugs in the 1990s increased the success rates of most solid organ transplantations with more specific and better controlled results, as is the case with prednisone (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib6">6</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib7">7</a>).</p><p id="para40" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Studies have demonstrated that both bronchial injury and immunosuppressive agents, such as cyclosporine, mycophenolate sodium and azathioprine, impair MCTV (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib8">8–12</a>). Initially, mucociliary clearance was observed in bronchi undergoing bronchial section and unilateral bronchial anastomosis (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib8">8</a>). This impairment was attributed to alterations in mucus viscoelastic properties in the affected bronchial region. Another study demonstrated that azathioprine reduces the mucociliary transport velocity in animals evaluated 7 days after the surgical procedure (bronchial section and unilateral bronchial anastomosis), with animal recovery evaluated 30 days after surgery (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib11">11</a>). Despite MCTV impairment, this study showed the improvement of mucus viscoelastic properties in animals undergoing bronchial section and bronchial anastomosis treated with azathioprine. Three studies evaluated the effects of cyclosporine on mucociliary clearance (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib5">5</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib9">9</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib10">10</a>). Using the bronchial section and bronchial anastomosis model, it was demonstrated that cyclosporine decreases MCTV as a result of impaired CBF and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">in vitro</span> mucus transportability (MT), and it also decreases mucus secretion (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib5">5</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib10">10</a>). It was observed that cyclosporine exerts a synergistic effect when associated with bronchial section injury and mucociliary clearance.</p><p id="para50" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There are no studies in the literature reporting the effect of systemic corticosteroids on the mucociliary tract. <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">In vitro</span> studies evaluating the effect of steroids on MCTV demonstrated that prednisolone increases mucus production, and topical steroids, such as budesonide, decrease CBF in the respiratory mucosa (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib13">13–15</a>). Furthermore, postoperative death may be related to complications, such as low scarring and steroid-induced infections (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib16">16</a>).</p><p id="para60" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of prednisone on mucociliary clearance in rats undergoing bronchial section and bronchial anastomosis.</p></span><span id="cesec20" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cestitle70">MATERIALS AND METHODS</span><span id="cesec30" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cestitle80">Study Design</span><p id="para70" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A total of 120 male Wistar rats were distributed into four groups: prednisone therapy (Pd); prednisone therapy + surgical procedure (PdSc); saline solution (Sal); and saline solution + surgical procedure (SalSc).

In this study, we observed that prednisone interferes with mucus quality by reducing its transportability. However, when prednisone therapy was associated with bronchial section and anastomosis, there was an improvement in mucus transportability, possibly because this drug modulates local inflammatory conditions. Studies have reported a reduction in mucin production and improvement in mucociliary transportability in asthmatic patients after treatment with corticosteroids. Such results are justified because inflammation in animal models causes mucus hypersecretion and therefore reduces mucus transportability (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib20">20</a>). Although the mechanisms are not completely understood, IgG increases mucus viscoelasticity. Therefore, the control of inflammatory processes reduces viscoelasticity in response to a decrease in mucosal IgG (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib19">19</a>). In these cases, improvement in this variable is easily understood because prednisone improves the general inflammatory conditions of patients. Our study used animals free of diseases whose only condition was daily treatment with steroids, and in this case, the drug impaired mucus transportability.</p><p id="para210" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Mucus transportability reduction was observed at 7, 15, and 30 days after bronchial section and bronchial anastomosis. Rivero et al. (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib8">8</a>) evaluated the effects of bronchial section and unilateral anastomosis on mucus transportability and did not observe changes in this parameter. However, this study used the contralateral bronchus as a control, i.e., surgery was carried out on the left bronchus, and the right bronchus was used as a control. In the present study, one animal without surgical intervention was used as the control because we considered that, although the injury was induced in the left bronchus, a diffuse inflammatory process may affect the production and consequently contralateral mucus transportability. We believe a methodological difference could justify the difference in the final results.</p><p id="para220" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Prednisone therapy after bronchial section and bronchial anastomosis improved mucus transportability when we compared these animals to those submitted to surgery alone. This result reinforces the idea that, under conditions in which inflammation is activated, prednisone alters mucus quality, improving its transportability. In addition, prednisone improves bronchial circulation after transplantation. Inui et al. (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib21">21</a>) studied the bronchial circulation of transplanted animals undergoing an immunosuppression protocol (azathioprine and cyclosporine) with or without the addition of prednisolone and observed an improvement in blood flow and a reduction of bronchial ischemia in the group receiving corticosteroids.</p><p id="para230" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding the frequency of ciliary beats, we did not observe differences among the groups treated with prednisone during the study time points, suggesting that prednisone does not change the ciliary beat. We did not find studies in the literature evaluating the systemic use of prednisone on ciliary beat frequency.</p><p id="para240" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleItalic">In vitro</span> investigations evaluating the effect of topical corticosteroids, such as budesonide, showed a reduction of ciliary beat frequency in the respiratory mucosa of treated animals (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib14">14</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib15">15</a>). However, these studies suggest that the damage caused to the mucociliary system is more closely associated with medication preservation solutions, such as benzalconium chloride, than to the corticosteroids themselves (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib22">22</a>,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib23">23</a>).</p><p id="para250" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding bronchial section and anastomosis, ciliary beat frequency reduction was observed in animals evaluated 7 and 15 days after the surgical procedure. Such complications are due to autonomic denervation and blood supply discontinuation after bronchial section without reestablishing bronchial circulation after surgery. Moreover, the inflammatory stimulus in this region after surgery may lead to mucus hypersecretion, as previously discussed. According to Allegra et al. (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib24">24</a>), mucus hypersecretion may decrease the ciliary beat frequency during bronchial inflammation and cause functional and structural damage to the mucociliary apparatus.</p><p id="para260" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Pazetti et al. (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib5">5</a>) observed an impairment of the ciliary beat frequency 30 days after animals underwent bronchial section and anastomosis surgery. The same result was found by Veale et al. [30] while studying the anastomosed bronchial region of lung transplant patients compared to their non-transplanted (native) contralateral bronchi.</p><p id="para270" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We observed that the group of animals sacrificed after 30 days presented improvement in the parameters evaluated 7 and 15 days after surgery, suggesting that the bronchial ciliated epithelium and the function of the ciliated cells in these animals had regenerated. Although this parameter was recovered 30 days after surgery, there is controversy in the literature regarding the period over which the regenerative process should be evaluated. A study of lung transplantation in dogs observed the recovery of mucociliary transport within the first weeks after surgery (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib25">25</a>). Pazetti et al. (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib5">5</a>) observed a decrease in ciliary beat frequency 30 days after the procedure, with a trend toward recovery observed in animals evaluated later, which in this case was 90 days after surgery.</p><p id="para280" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The interaction between the prednisone and surgery had no effect on ciliary beat frequency. Auteri et al. (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib26">26</a>) did not observe bronchial scarring impairment in animals treated with prednisone within 28 days after surgery. Nevertheless, other studies have shown scarring process impairment when animals are treated with corticosteroids (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib16">16</a>).</p><p id="para290" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The efficiency of mucociliary clearance depends on three factors: the density of the cilia and their beat frequency, the amount of mucus, and the viscoelastic properties of the mucus. In this study, we observed that prednisone improves mucus transportability after surgery; therefore, we believe that the mucus composition was altered. However, this improvement was not enough to impact the ciliary beat frequency or mucociliary transport velocity.
