Abstract in Portuguese
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a) é associado a periodontite agressiva. Na infecção, pode ocorrer ativação de vias de sinalização do hospedeiro e bacterianas. Objetivos: determinar a transcrição de genes relacionados à virulência bacteriana e das vias de transdução de sinais da célula epitelial após interação bactéria-célula epitelial. Métodos: cepas de A.a foram co-cultivadas com células epiteliais OBA-9. A transcrição dos genes bacterianos e das células epiteliais foi determinada por RT-qPCR e a concentração de citocinas determinada por ELISA. Resultados: A regulação da transcrição de certos genes de virulência de A.a é cepa e tempo específica. Quinze genes foram regulados positivamente nas células OBA-9 infectadas. Altos níveis de GM-CSF, TNF-α e ICAM-1 foram detectados em células OBA-9 infectadas e tecidos gengivais de pacientes com periodontite. Conclusão: a interação entre A. a e célula epitelial pode modular a resposta do hospedeiro com a indução da expressão de fatores que exacerbam o processo inflamatório.

Abstract in English
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a) is associated with the etiology of aggressive periodontitis. The activation of signaling pathways by the host and bacterial cells occurs during infection. Objectives: to determine the transcription of genes related to bacterial virulence and epithelial cell after bacterial-epithelial cell interaction. Methods: A.a strains were co-cultured with epithelial cells OBA-9. The transcription of A.a virulence genes and genes belonging to signaling transduction pathway were determined by RT-qPCR and the concentration of cytokines was determined by ELISA. Results: the transcription of some virulence genes is strain and time specific. Fifteen genes were up-regulated in OBA-9 cells. High levels of GM-CSF, TNF-α and ICAM-1 were detected in infected OBA-9 cells and tissues of patients with periodontitis. Conclusion: the interaction between A.a and epithelial cell can modulate the host response with induction of factors which exacerbate inflammatory process.
