Title in Portuguese
Papel de BIM na geração de linfócitos T CD8+ antígeno-específicos, em resposta à vacinação com adenovírus recombinante.

Abstract in Portuguese
BIM é uma proteína pro-apoptótica membro da família Bcl-2. No sistema imunológico, BIM foi descrita como reguladora da homeostase de linfócitos. Porém, ainda não foi estudado o papel do BIM no estabelecimento da resposta imune de linfócitos T CD8+. Sendo que os vetores adenovirais fortes ativadores da resposta, neste trabalho investigamos o papel de BIM na qualidade e frequência de linfócitos T CD8+ estimulados com Ad.cOVA. Camundongos C57Bl/6 selvagens, bim+/- e bim-/- foram imunizados com 2x106 PFU/100μl. Assim, observou-se uma redução da lise especifica e menor freqüência de linfócitos CD8+ produtores de IFNγ em camundongos bim-/-. Em paralelo, foi avaliada a resposta imune anti-tumoral destes camundongos sem encontrar diferencias significativas. A cinética da resposta efetora de linfócitos T CD8+ de camundongos bim-/- mostrou escassa perda das capacidades efetoras destes linfócitos, sendo o possível mecanismo para controlar a progressão tumoral. Em conclusão camundongos bim-/- apresentam uma menor freqüência de células efetoras, sugerindo um importante papel de BIM na produção de linfócitos T CD8+ antígeno-específicos trás a vacinação com Ad.cOVA.

Abstract in English
BIM is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 protein family. In the immune system, BIM has been described as lymphocyte homeostasis regulator. However, the role of BIM in the establishment of the immune response of CD8+ T lymphocytes has not yet been studied. As the strong adenoviral vectors activating the response, we investigated the role of BIM in the quality and frequency of Ad.cOVA-stimulated CD8+ T lymphocytes. Wild C57Bl/6 mice, bim+/- and bim-/- were immunized with 2x106 PFU/100μl. Thus, a reduction of the specific lysis and decreased frequency of IFNγ producing CD8+ lymphocytes in bim-/- mice was observed. In parallel, the anti-tumor immune response of these mice was evaluated without finding significant differences. The kinetics of the effector response of CD8+ T lymphocytes from bim-/- mice showed little loss of the effector capacities of these lymphocytes, being the possible mechanism to control tumor progression. In conclusion, bim-/- mice show a lower frequency of effector cells, suggesting an important role of BIM in the production of antigen-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes after vaccination with Ad.cOVA.
