Resumo
A quebra da tolerância imunológica a antígenos próprios é um mecanismo gerador comum às respostas imunes deletérias. Várias estratégias têm sido propostas para modular respostas autoimunes, entre as quais se destacam a administração oral de antígenos relacionados à doença, a transferência adotiva de células tolerogênicas e/ou o tratamento com citocinas reguladoras. Nesse contexto, tem sido mostrado que a ingestão de antígenos proteicos presentes na dieta pode gerar efeitos indiretos sobre o sistema imune do hospedeiro, caracterizados pela supressão da resposta imune a proteínas antigenicamente não relacionadas, conhecidos como supressão bystander. O presente projeto teve por objetivo analisar os efeitos indiretos da tolerância oral induzida pela ingestão de ovalbumina (OVA) e a transferência adotiva de células dendríticas isoladas de animais tolerantes a OVA (tDC) na colite induzida por TNBS em camundongos. Os resultados mostraram que o tratamento de camundongos com OVA por via oral, antes ou após a indução da colite e a transferência adotiva de tDC, foram capazes de reduzir sinais da doença, tais como a perda de peso, bem como preservar parcialmente a integridade do tecido colônico, quando comparados aos animais colíticos não tratados com OVA (controles). A supressão bystander relacionada ao consumo de OVA foi associada à expansão da frequência de células T reguladoras (regs) e de células T secretoras de interleucina (IL) -10, possíveis mecanismos de regulação das manifestações clínicas da colite induzida por TNBS. As DC obtidas de animais tolerantes a OVA apresentaram expressão aumentada de CD80, compatível com perfil tolerogênico. A transferência dessa população de células para animais colíticos foi capaz de reduzir os sinais clínicos e histológicos da colite, mimetizando os efeitos da tolerância oral. A transferência adotiva de tDC levou a redução da frequência de células Th17, redução de secreção de IL-17 e IL-9 e aumento de secreção de IL-10 e IL-4 in vitro. Até onde é de nosso conhecimento, não existem dados na literatura mostrando o efeito da tolerância oral e a transferência adotiva de tDC no tratamento de colite.
The breakdown of immune tolerance to self antigens is a common mechanism for deleterious immune responses. Several interventions have been proposed to modulate autoimmune responses, such as oral administration of disease-related antigens, adoptive transfer of tolerogenic cells and/or treatment with regulatory cytokines. In this context, it has been demonstrated that the ingestion of protein antigens can generate indirect effects on the immune system of the host, characterized by suppression of the immune response to antigenically unrelated proteins, known as bystander suppression. The present project aims to analyze the indirect effects of oral tolerance induced by ovalbumin (OVA) and by adoptive transfer of tolerant dendritic cells (tDC) in TNBS induced colitis in mice. Our results showed that the treatment of oral OVA mice before or after induction of colitis and the adductive transfer of tDC were able to reduce the signs of the disease, such as weight loss, as well as partially preserve the integrity of the Compared to non-OVA treated animals (controls). The bystander suppression related to OVA consumption appears to favor the expansion of regulatory (regs) T and interleukin (IL)-10 secreting T cells responsible for reducing the clinical manifestations of TNBS-induced colitis. On the other hand, DC obtained from OVA-tolerant animals showed increased expression of CD80. Administration of this cells population to colitic animals was able to reduce the clinical and histological signs of colitis, possibly by reducing Th17 cells, reduction of secretion of Il-17 and IL-9 and augment of IL-10 and IL-4. To the best of our knowledge, there are no data in the literature showing the effect of oral tolerance and the adoptive transfer of tDC in the treatment of colitis.
