Abstract in Portuguese
Os venenos de serpentes contêm concentrações elevadas de fosfolipases A2 secretadas (sFLA2), que apresentam homologia com as FLA2s de mamíferos, cujos níveis estão aumentados em doenças inflamatórias. Neste estudo, investigou-se a ativação e a expressão de fatores envolvidos na formação de corpúsculos lipídicos (CLs) em células fagociticas e o papel desses fatores na resposta imune inata, induzida pela MT-III, uma sFLA2s de veneno. A MT-III induziu aumento dos níveis de triacilglicerol, colesterol e lisofosfolipideos e a ativação e expressão dos fatores PPAR-g, PPAR-d/b, SREBP2 e do CD36. Sob estimulo da MT-III, o receptor PPAR-b/d, as enzimas DGAT, ACAT e FAS foram relevantes para a formação de CLs e para a expressão da PLIN2. O CD36 participa da expressão da COX-2, sem modificar a liberação de PGE2. O TLR2 e a MyD88 foram essenciais para a formação de CLs e síntese da IL-1b e IL-10. Ainda, o TLR2 foi relevante para a liberação de PGE2, PGD2 e LTB4, enquanto MyD88 foi fundamental somente para a liberação de PGE2 e expressão da PLIN2, induzidas pela MT-III.

Abstract in English
Snake venoms contain high concentrations of secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) with homology to mammalian PLA2s, whose levels are elevated in inflammatory diseases. In this study, we investigated activation and expression of factors involved in lipid droplets formation (LDs) and participation that factors in the innate immune response induced by MT-III, sPLA2s from snake venom, in phagocytic cells. MT-III induced increase of triacylglycerol, cholesterol and lysophospholipids levels and activation and expression of factors PPAR-g, PPAR-d/b, SREBP2 and CD36. PPAR-b/d receptor, DGAT, ACAT and FAS enzymes were relevant to LDs formation and critical to PLIN2 expression induced by MT-III. CD36 participates in COX-2 expression without modifying PGE2 release stimulated by MT-III. TLR2 and MyD88 were essential to LDs formation and IL-1b and IL-10 synthesis stimulated by MT-III. Moreover, TLR2 was relevant to PGE2, PGD2 and LTB4 biosynthesis, while MyD88 is essential only for PGE2 release and PLIN2 expression induced by MT-III.
