Anemia falciforme
Anemia Falciforme
• Uma das doenças genéticas com maior freqüência.
• Incidência no Brasil: cerca de 3.500 crianças/ano com a doença ou 1/1.000 nascidos/vivos (PNTN).
• Afeta principalmente os descendentes de africanos.

Hydroxycarbamide in very young children with sickle-cell anaemia: a multicentre, randomised, controlled trial (BABY HUG).
Wang WC et al BABY HUG investigators.
HbSS or Sβ(0)thalassaemia, aged 9-18 months liquid hydroxycarbamide, 20 mg/kg per day, or placebo for 2 years.
96 hydroxycarbamide – 83 completed the study 97 placebo- 84 completed the study. Significant differences were not seen between groups for the primary endpoints (19 of 70 patients with decreased spleen function at exit in the hydroxycarbamide group vs 28 of 74 patients in the placebo group, p=0·21; and a difference in the mean increase in DTPA glomerular filtration rate in the hydroxycarbamide group versus the placebo group of 2 mL/min per 1·73 m(2), p=0·84). Significantly decreased pain (177 events in 62 patients vs 375 events in 75 patients in the placebo group, p=0·002) and dactylitis (24 events in 14 patients vs 123 events in 42 patients in the placebo group, p<0·0001), with some evidence for decreased acute chest syndrome, hospitalisation rates, and transfusion. Hydroxyurea increased haemoglobin and fetal haemoglobin, and decreased white blood-cell count. Toxicity was limited to mild-to-moderate neutropenia.
Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2011 Jul 8. doi: 10.1002/pbc.23244. [Epub ahead of print] Massive accidental overdose of hydroxyurea in a young child with sickle cell
anemia. Miller ST, Rey K, He J, Flanagan J, Fish BJ, Rogers ZR, Wang WC, Ware RE; for the
BABY HUG Investigators.
Abstract 2-year-old boy ingested at one time an entire 35-day supply of hydroxyurea (612 mg/kg body weight). Despite a serum level of 7,756 µM 4 hours post-ingestion, the only toxicity
was transient mild myelosuppression.

Benefits and Risks of Hydroxyurea
• Reduced pain and ACS
• Mortality reduced 40% • Reduced hemolysis • Reduced
hospitalization • Reduced medical
costs • Improved physical
capacity
• Teratogenicity; neoplasia?
• Use in neonates and young children; how early can HU be used, mortality?
• Is organ damage reversible or preventable?
• Useful in HbSC disease? • Is response predictable? • Why are most adults not
treated?

• Plaquetas ativadas podem aderir às células endoteliais e aos leucócitos de indivíduos normais.
• Níveis aumentados da integrina GPIIb/IIIa e da P-selectina nas plaquetas de indivíduos falciformes têm sido relatados.
• Relatos de uma adesão aumentada de plaquetas em vênulas cerebrais de camundongos transgênicos falciformes.

Hemoglobinopatia SC
• Hemoglobina C ativa cotransporte de K-Cl – ( possivelmente pela carga positiva da
Hemoglobina C) – Células são mais desidratadas – Inibidores de canal de Gardos ou de co-
transporte K/Cl • Hemoconcentração
– Sangrias
Perspectivas
Inflamação contribue para vaso-oclusão ativando células endotelias e células do sangue
• Reduzir a inflamação vascular deve ser alvo terapêutico;
•Inibição da adesão dos leucócitos à parede do vaso é importante para prevenção de vaso-oclusão
• Drogas sinérgicas a HU na via cGMP-dependente podem ser úteis no tratamento
• Inibição da PDE9 tem potencial de aumentar a produção de HbF, diminuir a adesão de leucócitos e é relativamente tecido-específica
Tratamento
• Transplante de medula óssea
Bone Marrow Transplantation , (18 April 2011) Allogeneic cellular gene therapy in hemoglobinopathies—evaluation of hematopoietic SCT in sickle cell anemia G Lucarelli, J Gaziev, A Isgrò, P Sodani, K Paciaroni, C Alfieri, G De Angelis, M Marziali, M D Simone, C Gallucci, A Roveda, F Saltarelli, F Torelli and M Andreani 11 SCA median age of 12 years (range, 2–16) Hematopoietic SCT from HLA-identical, related donors following a myeloablative-conditioning regimen. Indications for transplantation:vaso-occlusive crisis, acute chest syndrome, avascular bone necrosis, chronic RBC transfusions, or hemorrhagic stroke. All patients had sustained engraftment. One patient - stable mixed chimera with 25% of donor cells at 4 years after transplantation. One patient died at 1 year after transplantation. The probability of survival, SCA-free survival and TRM at 5 years after transplant were 90, 90 and 10%, respectively. All 10 surviving patients remained free of any SCA-related events after transplantation.
