Aspectos da resistência à infecção experimental com Trypanosoma cruzi
Keywords in Portuguese

Trypanosoma cruzi
Abstract in Portuguese
A doença de Chagas, zoonose causada pelo protozoário Trypanosoma cruzi, apresenta uma ampla distribuição na América Latina estendendo-se do Sul dos Estados Unidos até a Argentina. Estima-se existirem 10 milhões de pessoas infectadas e outras 25 milhões expostas ao risco. Apesar de descoberta há mais de um século, o mal de Chagas ainda é uma infecção grave que provoca grande impacto sócio-econômico, sem tratamento efetivo na fase crônica e que carece de conhecimentos científicos. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a obtenção e o uso de linhagens consômicas de camundongos, na investigação da resistência. As linhagens consômicas foram produzidas por meio de acasalamentos programados e monitoração com marcadores polimórficos de DNA, onde um de seus cromossomos foi substituído pelo seu homólogo da outra linhagem. Como parentais foram utilizadas as linhagens isogênicas C57BL/6/J Unib, de fenótipo resistente (doadora) e A/JUnib, susceptível (receptora) empregadas na produção de cinco linhagens consômicas para os cromossomos 7 (CSs7), 11 (CSs11),14 (CSs14),17 (CSs17) e 19 (CSs19); descritos por Passos et al. (2003), como importantes no controle da infecção causada pela cepa Y do T.cruzi. Nos ensaios experimentais, os consômicos foram inoculados pela via i.p., com as doses de 101, 102, 103 e 104 empregando-se como controles animais de ambas as linhagens parentais. Em todos os consômicos, a resistência foi superior àquela observada no parental susceptível. Em um segundo protocolo, os consômicos foram acasalados com associações programadas e as progênies foram desafiadas empregando-se inóculos com doses crescentes de tripomastigotas. A resistência observada neste grupo foi também superior àquela observada no parental de fenótipo susceptível. Os resultados observados demonstram que o emprego das linhagens consômicas produzidas possibilitam avaliar a participação de cada cromossomo na resistência, bem como os efeitos da associação entre os cromossomos, que são uma estratégia eficiente no estudo de doenças multifatoriais de trato complexo, como a doença de Chagas.

Abstract in English
Chagas disease, a zoonosis caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, has a wide distribution in Latin America and extends from the southern part of the United States to Argentina. A number of 10 million of infected people is estimated and another 25 million exposed to the risk. Although discovered over a century, Chagas disease is still a serious infection that causes great socioeconomic impact, with no effective treatment at the chronic phase and in which, a lack of scientific knowledge can be observed. The main goal of this work was that obtaining and using consomic strain of mice, the resistance could be investigated. Consomic strains were produced by programmed mating, in which the animals were monitored with DNA polymorphic markers, and one of his chromosomes was replaced by his homologue from another strain. As parental, were used, the inbred strains C57BL/6/J Unib with resistant phenotype (donor) and as receiver, the A/JUnib strain, that has a susceptible phenotype. These models were used to produce five consomic strains: for the chromosomes 7 (CSs7), 11 (CSs11), 14 (CSs14), 17 (CSs17) and 19 (CSs19), described by Passos et al. (2003) as important in controlling infection caused by the Y strain of T. cruzi. In experimental testing, the consomics were inoculated intraperitoneally at doses of 101, 102, 103 and 104 using as control, animals from both parental lines. In all consomics, resistance was higher than that observed in the susceptible parental. In a second protocol, the consomics were mated with scheduled associations and the progenies were challenged with inocula employing increasing doses of trypomastigotes. The resistance observed in this group was also higher than that observed in the parental with susceptible phenotype. The observed results demonstrate that the use of the consomic strains that were produced order to assess the contribution of each chromosome in the resistance, as well as the effects of association between chromosomes are an effective strategy in the study of complex multifactorial diseases tract, such as Chagas disease.
