Abstract in Portuguese
Para serem apresentados pelo MHC I em células dendríticas, os antígenos são processados pelo imunoproteassomo. O objetivo do trabalho foi examinar o efeito de pró-oxidantes em DC para avaliação da proliferação de linfócitos T CD8+, com foco no sistema ubiquitina-proteassomo. Os resultados mostram que o sistema Xantina/Xantina Oxidase aumentou a proliferação de T CD8+ isolados de camundongos imunizados com DNA-HSP65 após a co-cultura destas células com DC tratadas com XaXO. O XaXO promoveu maior maturação de DC em relação ao LPS, assim como uma queda da atividade catalítica do IP, sugerindo que o aumento da proliferação de T CD8+ não está diretamente relacionado à atividade do IP. A incubação de DC com XaXO não alterou a expressão da unidade catalítica 20S, da unidade regulatória 19S ou da subunidade β5i. Observou-se aumento da expressão da unidade regulatória 11S e do conteúdo de proteínas ubiquitinadas. Sugere-se que 11S se acoplaria a 20S deslocando 19S, promovendo o acúmulo de proteínas ubiquitinadas e direcionando mais fragmentos para a apresentação antigênica.

Abstract in English
To be presented in dendritic cells MHC I, antigens are processed by immunoproteasome. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of pro-oxidants in dendritic cell-induced T CD8+ lymphocyte proliferation with focus on ubiquitin-proteasome system. The co-culture of DC incubated with Xanthine/Xanthine Oxidase system and T CD8+ isolated from mice immunized with DNA-HSP65 promoted T CD8+ proliferation. XaXO incubation was more efficient in promoting DC maturation compared to LPS. In addition, XaXO incubation decreased IP catalytic activity in relation to LPS, suggesting that increased T CD8+ proliferation is not directly related to IP activity. XaXO incubation did not alter the expression of 20S catalytic subunit, 19S regulatory unit or β5i subunit. XaXO incubation increased 11S regulatory unit content as well as that of ubiquitinated proteins. We suggest that the DC incubation with XaXO increased 11S content favoring its coupling to 20S in detriment of 19S. This would increase ubiquitinated protein levels and direct more peptide fragments for antigen presentation.
