Resumo
O fungo Paracoccidioides brasiliensis é o agente etiológico da Paracoccidioidomicose, uma micose sistêmica, endêmica na América Latina. As células dendríticas (DCs) desempenham papel crucial na detecção de patógenos, desencadeamento de uma resposta inicial do hospedeiro, assim como na instrução da resposta imune adaptativa. Mediadores liberados pelas DCs, de uma forma autócrina, modulam as suas funções. Entre esses, destacamos as prostaglandinas e leucotrienos. Assim, avaliamos se DCs humanas produzem PGE2 e LTB4 em resposta ao fungo, a participação de receptores de reconhecimento de padrões moleculares (PRRS) nessa produção, assim como o papel modulador desses eicosanóides sobre a maturação fenotipica dessas células e a produção das citocinas IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-23 e TNF-α. DCs humanas imaturas (CD14- / CD1ahigh / CD83 low) obtidas a partir da diferenciação de monócitos cultivados com GM-CSF e IL-4 (7 dias) liberaram substanciais concentrações de PGE2 e LTB4 que aumentaram significativamente, no caso da PGE2, com incubação com LPS durante 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 18h, 24h ou 48h. No entanto, os níveis de PGE2 e LTB4 foram significativamente inibidos após o desafio com as duas cepas do fungo. Ensaios de bloqueio dos PRRS mostraram que o processo de inibição de PGE2 envolveu o receptor de manose. Adicionalmente, ensaios de fenotipagem mostraram que após o desafio com o fungo, as DCs não alteraram o seu fenótipo de imaturas para o de células maduras. Assim, detectamos uma clara associação entre inibição da produção de PGE2 e LTB4 e a incapacidade do fungo em induzir a maturação de DCs. Ensaios utilizando PGE2 ou LTB4 exógenos confirmaram essa associação. Estas células ainda produzem altos níveis de IL-6...
The fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the etiological agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, a systemic mycosis, endemic in Latin America. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in the detection of pathogens, triggering an initial response from the host as well as the instruction of the adaptive immune response. Mediators released by DCs, by an autocrine way, modulate their functions. Among these, we highlight the prostaglandins and leukotrienes. We therefore assessed whether human DCs produce PGE2 and LTB4 in response to fungus, the participation of recognition receptors of molecular patterns (PRRS) in this production, as well as the modulating role of these eicosanoids on phenotypic maturation of these cells and the production of the cytokines IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-23 e TNF-α. Human immature DCs (CD14-/ CD1ahigh/CD83low) derived from the differentiation of monocytes cultured with GMCSF and IL-4 (7 days) released substantial concentrations of PGE2 and LTB4 which increased significantly in the case of PGE2, with incubation with LPS for 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 18h, 24h or 48h. However, the levels of PGE2 and LTB4 were significantly inhibited after challenge with two different strains of the fungus. Trials have shown that blockade of PRRS process involved the inhibition of PGE2 mannose receptor. Additionally, phenotyping assays showed that after challenge with the fungus, DCs did not change their phenotype of immature cells to mature ones. Accordingly, we detected a clear association between inhibition of the production of PGE2 and LTB4 fungus and inability to induce maturation of DCs. Assays using exogenous PGE2 and LTB4 confirmed this association. These cells also produce high levels of IL-6 in response to fungus, which, however, were not associated with inhibition of the production of eisosanóides. Rather than that, these DCs do not produce... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
