Resumo
A infecção produzida pelo HIV leva à debilidade do sistema imune e confere ao indivíduo infectado maior vulnerabilidade às infecções oportunistas. Neste aspecto a tuberculose e o HIV estão intimamente relacionados, uma vez que a infecção pelo vírus contribui significativamente para o aumento na incidência da tuberculose. Por outro lado, a co-infecção do HIV com outros patógenos é um importante fator exógeno que influencia a gravidade e a taxa de progressão da doença em indivíduos soro-positivos. O sistema imune pode reconhecer padrões moleculares associados à patógenos (PAMPs) através dos receptores toll-like, sendo que esta sinalização resulta na ativação de fatores de transcrição fundamentais para as respostas imune e inflamatória. A indução do HIV como conseqüência da ativação imunológica produzida por ligantes microbianos tem sido implicada como o mecanismo responsável pela elevada expressão viral observada em indivíduos co-infectados. Polimorfismos nos genes tlr, bem como nos vários componentes de seus caminhos de sinalização, têm grande importância na resposta imunológica do hospedeiro frente a vários patógenos. Neste estudo foi avaliado se a do hospedeiro infecção pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis tem influência na replicação do HIV e na imunidade celular relacionada aos polimorfismos nos genes tlr2 e 4. Foram analisados 37 pacientes de ambos os sexos com média de idade de 41 anos. Os pacientes foram divididos em 2 grupos: grupo A (17 indivíduos portadores de HIV) e grupo B ( 20 indivíduos portadores de HIV co-infectados com M. tuberculosis); o grupo B foi subdividido em pacientes com histórico de infecção pregressa pelo M. tuberculosis (12 indivíduos designados por B’) e aqueles que apresentavam manifestações clínicas da tuberculose durante as coletas (8 indivíduos designados por B’’)...
The infection caused by the HIV virus lead to debility of the immune system and confers to the infected individual a greater vulnerability to opportunist infections. In this aspect the tuberculosis and the HIV are closely related, once that the infection by the virus significantly contribute for the increase of tuberculosis incidence. The co-infection with others pathogens is an important exogenous factor that influence the severity and the rate of progression of the disease at serum-positive patients. The Immune System can recognize pathogens associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) through the toll-like receptors, this signalization results in the activation of fundamental transcriptional factors to the immune and anti-inflammatory responses. The induction of HIV like a consequence of immunological activation produced by microbial ligands has been implicated as the responsible mechanism of the elevated viral expression observed at co-infected individuals. Polymorphisms at the tlr genes, as well as at various components of its signaling pathways, has a great importance on the immunological response of the host front various pathogens. In this study was evaluated the influence of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the replication of HIV and at cellular immunity related to polymorphisms at the genes tlr2 and 4. Thirty seven patients, from both sex and with age ratio of 41 years old, were analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: group A (17 individuals HIV positive) and group B (20 coinfected HIV – M. tuberculosis individuals); the group B was divided into patients with historic of infection by M. tuberculosis (12 individuals designated by B’) and those that was manifesting the symptoms of tuberculosis during the reaps (8 individuals designated by B’’). The immunological profile was evaluated by the quantitative determination of phenotypes CD3+/CD4+ and CD3+/CD8+ of lymphocytes ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)
