Resumo
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis é um fungo dimórfico, agente de doença granulomatosa crônica denominada de paracoccidioidomicose (PCM), com grande variedade de manifestações clínicas, desde formas localizadas até disseminadas evoluindo para letalidade. O fungo tem capacidade de aderir, extravasar e invadir barreiras impostas pelos tecidos do hospedeiro. Em ensaios in vitro verificou-se que P. brasiliensis pode aderir e invadir células epiteliais, aparecendo algumas vezes internalizado dentro de um vacúolo. A identificação do mecanismo pelo qual este fungo adere, invade e sobrevive no interior da célula hospedeira é campo fértil para a descoberta de sua patogênese. Para tanto, a análise de proteínas presentes no microrganismo e nas células do hospedeiro e também os marcadores da via endocítica para co-localizar os microrganismos no interior das mesmas é o objetivo deste estudo. Assim, foi realizada a infecção de células epiteliais A549 e macrófagos AMJ2-C11com P. brasiliensis (Pb18) nos períodos de 3, 5, 8, 24 e 3, 5, 10 e 24h, respectivamente e feitas análises por técnicas de imunofluorescência para as proteínas de junções compactas, junções aderentes, junções tipo fenda e proteínas de ancoramento intracelular, bem como as proteínas da via endocítica. Entres estas, foram ensaiadas a expressão de clatrina, Rab7 e LAMP-1 por imunofluorescência e EEA1, Rab7 e LAMP-1 por imunoblot. As proteínas de junções foram expressas nas células, bem como na parede do fungo. A clatrina foi evidente na célula e aparentemente mais expressa na parede do fungo. Nas células A549 não houve alteração na expressão de Rab7 e LAMP-1, tanto na imunofluorescência quanto no imunoblot, sendo que para EEA1 e Rab5 não foi evidenciada alteração na expressão pela técnica de imunoblot. Rab7 foi expressa nos macrófagos, localizada na periferia das células e também no...
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus, the etiologic agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). PCM is a polymorphic disease manifested by an array of diverse clinical manifestations and varying organ involvement. P. brasiliensis may actively penetrate the mucocutaneous surface and parasitize epithelial cells, thus evading the host defenses and reaching deeper tissues. The ability of this fungus to adhere to and invade non-professional phagocyte cells has been observed. In vitro assays verify that P. brasiliensis can adhere and could appear internalized within vacuole. The identification of the mechanism by which this fungus adheres, invades and survivor inside the host cell is a fertile area for discover their pathogenesis. The aim of this study was analyzed the junctions proteins in the fungus and the host cells, as well as the endocytic markers to colocate the microorganisms inside the cells. Thus, the infection was performed in A549 epithelial cells and macrophages AMJ2-C11 with P. brasiliensis (PB18) for periods of 3, 5, 8, 24 and 3, 5, 10 and 24 h, respectively, and the immunofluorescence analysis was developed for the proteins claudin-1, claudin-4, E-cadherin, conexin 43, talin e vinculin, and the endocytic proteins. The macrophages and the cells A549 have been blemish along anti-clatrin, anti-Rab7 and anti-LAMP-1. The junctions’ proteins have been expressed at the cells, as well as on the wall from the fungus. The clathrin was present at the cells and apparently more expressed on the fungus wall. Rab7 and LAMP-1 were not expressed in the cells A549 as demonstrated by the imunofluorescence and the imunoblot. On the contrary Rab7 was expressed in macrophages located at the periphery of the cells and also in the own fungus. The expression of LAMP-1 apparently not presented alteration both at the imunofluorescence and at the imunoblot. The expression of EEA1 was... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
