Resumo
O objetivo foi avaliar as interações entre Candida albicans (ATCC 18804) com Streptococcus mitis (49456) e Streptococcus sanguinis (10556) in vitro e in vivo avaliando-se a possível influência destas associações, na expressão de genes, na filamentação e formação de biofilme de Candida albicans. A formação de biofilme, foi realizado mono e multiespécie em placa de 96 poços por 48 h à 37 ºC com 5% CO2. Os biofilmes foram desagregados e diluídos para semeadura em ágar e após incubação as UFC/mL foram contadas. A filamentação de C. albicans, in vitro foi realizada em placas de 24 poços e in vivo em Galleria mellonella, com análise histológica e contagem de UFC/mL. A avaliação da expressão gênica de ALS1, ALS3, BRC1, CPH1, EFG1 e HWP1, foi realizada por PCR em tempo real utilizando o gene normalizador ACT1. Os resultados da UFC/mL (p < 0.05), demonstrou que o biofilme de C. albicans monoespécie apresentou maior crescimento, quando comparado com o biofilme associado com S. mitis (p = 0,001) ou com S. sanguinis (p = 0,001). A filamentação in vitro demonstrou que a interação com S. mitis inibiu a filamentação de C. albicans (p = 0,0006), entretanto, a interação com S. sanguinis não inibiu (p = 0,1554). Os genes ALS1, ALS3 e HWP1 foram super expressos na interação com S. mitis. A interação com S. sanguinis, promoveu super expressão dos genes ALS3 e HWP1. Os genes BRC1, CPH1 e EFG1 foram super expressos na interação com S. mitis e sub expressos, na interação com S. sanguinis. Não houve diferença estatística nos estudos in vivo de filamentação e UFC/mL. Conclui-se que in vitro, S. mitis e S. sanguinis foram capazes de inibir a formação de biofilme de C. albicans. Assim como a interação com S. mitis inibiu a sua filamentação. A interação com S. mitis parece aumentar o fator de virulência de C. albicans, quanto a expressão dos genes de aderência ALS1, ALS3 e HWP1, bem como na associação com S. sanguinis (ALS3 e HWP1). Os genes de formação de biofilme, BRC1, CPH1 e EFG1, na interação com S. mitis promoveu aumento do fator de virulência.
The objective was to evaluate the interactions between Candida albicans (ATCC 18804) with Streptococcus mitis (49456) and Streptococcus sanguinis (10556) in vitro and in vivo evaluating the possible influence of these associations, in the expression of genes, in the filamentation and biofilm formation of Candida albicans. Biofilm formation was performed mono- and multispecies in 96-well plate for 48 h at 37 ºC with 5% CO2. Biofilms sonicated and diluted for sowing on agar and after incubation the colonies counted to obtain the colony forming units (CFU/mL). The filamentation in vitro was performed in 24-well plate and in vivo Galleria mellonella, with histological and CFU/mL. The evaluation of gene expression ALS1, ALS3, BRC1, CPH1, EFG1 and HWP1 was performed by real-time PCR using the normalizing gene ACT1. The results of CFU/ml (p<0.05), found that C. albicans biofilm monoespécie showed increased growth, as compared to the biofilm associated with S. mitis (p = 0.001) and S. sanguinis (p = 0.001). The filamentation in vitro demonstrated that the interaction with S. mitis inhibited C. albicans filamentation (p = 0.0006), interaction with S. sanguinis could not (p = 0.1554). The ALS1, ALS3, HWP1 gene, were superexpressed in S. mitis interaction. Interaction with S. sanguinis, promoted overexpression of ALS3 and HWP1 genes. The BRC1 genes, CPH1 and EFG1 were super expressed in interaction with S. mitis and sub expressed when there was interaction with S. sanguinis. There was no statistical difference in the in vivo studies of filamentation and CFU/mL. It follows that in vitro, S. mitis and S. sanguinis were able to inhibit the formation of C. albicans biofilms. Like the interaction with S. mitis inhibited its filamentation. The interaction with S. mitis appears to increase the virulence factors of C. albicans. ALS1, ALS3, HWP1 as the expression of adhesion genes, and as well as in association with S. sanguinis (ALS3 and HWP1). Biofilm formation genes, BRC1, CPH1 and EFG1 in interaction with S. mitis promoted increased virulence factor.
