Abstract in Portuguese
Durante o desenvolvimento de holometálobos alguns tecidos são eliminados/remodelados durante a metamorfose. A autofagia age nesse processo degradando componentes citoplasmáticos, inicialmente isolando-os em dupla membrana, estrutura chamada autofagossomo e esses conteúdos são degradados por hidrolases lisossomais. Porém, aspectos apoptóticos podem estar presentes nesse processo, como o envolvimento de caspases e a fragmentação nuclear. Alterações morfológicas na glândula salivar e no corpo gorduroso, que são bons exemplos de órgãos que sofrem morte celular programada (MCP) no desenvolvimento de R. americana, foram analisados por microscopia de luz e eletrônica. Durante a remoção desses órgãos, núcleos apresentam morfologia condensada e com fragmentação confirmada por TUNEL. Ambos tecidos mostraram formação de autofagossomos, mas a glândula salivar completa o processo de MCP durante a metamorfose. Genes antiapoptóticos e autofágicos que têm importante papel na MCP foram caracterizados. MCP em R. americana apresenta cooperação de aspetos da autofagia e da apoptose.

Abstract in English
In the development of holometabolous insects, some tissues are eliminated/remodelated during metamorphosis. Autophagy acts in this process by degrading cytoplasm contents, initially by surrounding them within a double membrane, a structure called autophagosome and its contents are degraded by lysosomal hydrolases. However, some features of apoptotic cell death may be present in this process, such as the involvement of caspases and nuclear fragmentation. Morphological changes of salivary gland and fat body, good examples of organs that suffer programmed cell death (PCD) during R. americana development, were analyzed by light and electron microscopy. During the removal of these organs, nuclei present fragmented and condensed morphology, confirmed by TUNEL assay. Both tissues show the formation of autophagosomes, but the salivary gland completes the process of PCD during metamorphosis. Antiapoptotic and autophagic genes that play important function in the PCD, were characterized. R. americana PCD occurs with the cooperation of autophagy and apoptosis features.
