Bases moleculares da resistência a ivermectina em Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

Resistência a pesticidas
Abstract in Portuguese
O carrapato do boi Rhipicephalus microplus é um ectoparasita de bovinos de grande importância sanitária e econômica, que produz grandes prejuízos na bovinocultura do Brasil. O uso de ivermectina como meio de controle químico, ao longo dos anos, levou à seleção de linhagens de R. microplus resistentes a ivermectina. A consequência desse processo é a perda da eficácia do acaricida. Este trabalho teve por objetivo determinar as bases moleculares da resistência a ivermectina. Para o estudo dos mecanismos envolvidos na resistência a ivermectina de R. microplus foram utilizadas duas cepas de referência: a cepa Mozo, suscetível a ivermectina, e a cepa Juarez, resistente, e duas abordagens experimentais complementares: ensaios enzimáticos com sinergistas e estudos de expressão gênica por meio de sequenciamento massivo em paralelo do RNA ou RNA-Seq. Os resultados deste trabalho permitem afirmar que o mecanismo de desintoxicação metabólica de maior importância é mediado por transportadores ABC, seguido de esterases, glutation-S-transferases e citocromo-oxidases. As diferenças de expressão gênica observadas entre as cepas, e dentro das cepas a diferentes concentrações de ivermectina, confirmam os resultados e permitem concluir que R. microplus apresenta uma resposta poligênica à ivermectina

Abstract in English
The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is one of the most important ectoparasites with great sanitary and economic importance for cattle rearing in Brazil. Ivermectin is a drug used in the chemical control of R. microplus. The utilization of ivermectin in the last 30 years has led to the selction of resistant populations of R. microplus, and thus, the loss of efficacy in the cattle tick control. To study the molecular basis of ivermectin resistance in R. microplus, two strains of ticks were used: the susceptible strain Mozo, and the resistant strain Juarez. Two complementary approaches were carried out: enzimatic assays using sinergists and gene expression studies using massive parallel sequencing of RNA or RNA-Seq. The results of this work indicate the involvement of various mechanisms of metabolic resistance. Detoxification mechanisms mediated by ABC transporters are probably the most important. Esterases, gluthathion-S-transferases and citochrome-oxidases play a less important role in detoxification. Differences in gene expression were observed between strains and among samples of the same strain exposed to different concentrations of ivermectin, confirming the result with the assays. Hence, the response of R. microplus to ivermectin is, probably, complex and poligenic
