Abstract in Portuguese
A dengue é uma doença infecciosa com grandes taxas de morbimortalidade, causada pelo vírus da dengue (DENV). Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde, cerca de 50 a 100 milhões de pessoas são infectadas anualmente em mais de 100 países tropicais e subtropicais de todos os continentes. O espectro clínico da infecção pelo DENV pode incluir formas assintomáticas ou sintomaticas que variam desde uma febre indeterminada e autolimitada, passando pela febre clássica da dengue (FD) até quadros graves denominados febre hemorrágica da dengue/síndrome do choque da dengue (FHD/SCD). Recentemente, ocorreu um dramático aumento do número de casos de FHD/SCD nas Américas, e este aumento coincidiu com a introdução do dengue sorotipo 3, genótipo III. No presente trabalho, objetivou-se a clonagem e a expressão das proteínas NS1 e NS3 do vírus da dengue tipo 3. As proteínas NS1 e NS3 do DENV-3 foram clonadas e expressas com sucesso em sistema procarioto. A amplificação dos genes das proteínas NS1 e NS3 foi realizada por RT-PCR, o qual gerou amplicons de cerca de 1050 e 1850 pb, respectivamente. Em seguida, os genes foram clonados por inserção dos amplicons no vetor plasmidial pCR-XL. Os genes de NS1 e NS3 foram subclonados no vetor de expressão pQE-30 através de sítios de restrição para as enzimas BamHI e HindIII. A expressão proteica foi obtida em sistema procarioto utilizando a cepa BL21(DE3) de E. coli, resultando em proteínas de 45 e 70 kDa as quais foram confirmadas por análises em Western blot utilizando como anticorpo primário fluido ascítico imune de camundongos e soro de pacientes com dengue. Estas proteínas virais podem ser utilizadas para estudos relacionados à patogênese, replicação e mecanismos de escape do sistema imune do DENV, além disso, podem ser potencias antígenos em métodos de diagnóstico.

Abstract in English
Dengue is an infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality rates caused by dengue virus (DENV). According to the World Health Organization, about 50 to 100 million people are infected annually in more than 100 tropical and subtropical countries from all continents. The clinical spectrum of DENV infection can includes asymptomatic or symptomatic forms ranging from undetermined and self-limited fever, through dengue fever (DF) to severe disease called dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS). Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of cases of DHF/DSS in the Americas, and this increase coincided with the introduction of dengue virus type 3 (DENV-3), genotype III. The present study aimed to clone and express NS1 and NS3 proteins of DENV-3. The NS1 and NS3 proteins of DENV-3 was successfully cloned and expressed in a prokaryotic system. Amplification of NS1 and NS3 genes was carried out by RT-PCR, which yielded amplicons of approximately 1050 and 1850 bp, respectively. Then, the genes were cloned by inserting the amplicons into the plasmid vector pCR-XL. NS1 and NS3 genes were subcloned into the expression vector pQE-30 through the restriction sites for BamHI and HindIII enzymes. The protein expression was obtained in a prokaryotic system using the strain BL21 (DE3) of E. coli, resulting in 45 and 70 kDa proteins, which were confirmed by Western blot analysis using immune mouse ascitic fluid and serum of patients with dengue as primary antibody. These viral proteins can be used to study the pathogenesis, mechanisms of replication and immune escape of DENV, moreover, can be potential antigens in diagnostic methods.
