Resumo

Os anfíbios estão a ser severamente afetados pela poluição ambiental. Sendo espécies sensíveis às alterações no ecossistema, fornecem informações vitais sobre as condições ambientais em que se encontram. Contudo, o uso de animais em toxicologia e ecotoxicologia é algo controverso, e tem suscitado um maior esforço no sentido de se cumprir o princípio dos 3 Rs (Redução, Refinamento e Substituição), e assim avaliar o uso de várias técnicas alternativas para reduzir a experimentação animal, nomeadamente o uso de linhas celulares. Este trabalho surge com o objetivo de analisar os estudos científicos no que respeita ao uso de linhas celulares de anfíbios na avaliação da toxicidade de contaminantes ambientais, bem como discutir as lacunas que persistem nesta área de investigação. Foram selecionados 38 estudos científicos que analisam a toxicidade de vários compostos químicos, em 12 linhas celulares ou células de diferentes tecidos de 9 espécies de anfíbios. Verificou-se que os metais constituem o grupo de compostos mais estudados no que diz respeito a ensaios in vitro com anfíbios, especialmente o cádmio. São aplicadas diferentes metodologias de acordo com o tipo de linha celular testada, avaliando, assim, diferentes parâmetros toxicológicos. A maioria das linhas celulares mostra um aumento de stress oxidativo, alterações nos processos celulares e no seu desenvolvimento.
