Title in Portuguese
Infecção de linfócitos T CD8+ por vírus Influenza
Keywords in Portuguese
Infecção viral
Influenza A
Linfócitos T CD8+
Linfócitos T citotóxicos
Abstract in Portuguese
Os vírus Influenza são responsáveis por infecções agudas do trato respiratório superior e inferior, doença conhecida como gripe. Estimativas indicam que milhões de casos de doença respiratória aguda são causados por infecção pelo vírus Influenza, resultando em cerca de 200 mil óbitos anualmente. Os linfócitos T CD8+ desempenham um papel fundamental na imunidade adaptativa, atuando na eliminação de patógenos intracelulares através da indução de programas apoptóticos nas células infectadas, promovendo clearance viral. A infecção de linfócitos T CD8+ pelo vírus Influenza é um fenômeno surpreendente e levanta questionamentos sobre os possíveis efeitos dessa infecção na função efetora dos linfócitos. Dessa forma, por meio de um modelo de infecção in vitro, o presente estudo buscou compreender melhor as características e consequências dessa infecção em linfócitos T CD8+. Para isso, linfócitos T CD8+ foram isolados de amostras de tonsilas e sangue periférico pelo método de seleção negativa e em seguida foram infectados com o vírus Influenza. Os achados apresentados neste estudo revelam que os linfócitos T CD8+ tonsilares e derivados do sangue periférico são suscetíveis à infecção pelo vírus Influenza in vitro, porém com baixa permissividade. A suscetibilidade dos linfócitos T CD8+ à infecção varia entre os indivíduos. A infecção por IAV promove aumento significativo na expressão das citocinas IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-2, IL-6 e IL-10, que também varia em intensidade de acordo com o indivíduo. No entanto, não são observadas alterações na expressão do fator de transcrição T-bet e da proteína efetora granzima B, importantes moléculas efetoras de linfócitos T CD8+.

Infection of CD8+ T lymphocytes by Influenza virus

Viral Infection
Abstract in English
Influenza viruses are responsible for acute infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract, a disease known as the flu. Estimates indicate that millions of cases of acute respiratory disease are caused by Influenza virus infection, resulting in about 200,000 deaths annually. CD8+ T lymphocytes play a fundamental role in adaptive immunity, acting in the elimination of intracellular pathogens through the induction of apoptotic programs in infected cells, promoting viral clearance. The infection of CD8+ T lymphocytes by the Influenza virus is a surprising phenomenon and raises questions about the possible effects of this infection on the effector function of lymphocytes. Thus, through an in vitro infection model, the present study sought to better understand the characteristics and consequences of this infection in CD8+ T lymphocytes. For this, CD8+ T lymphocytes were isolated from samples of tonsils and peripheral blood by the negative selection method and then infected with the Influenza virus. The findings presented in this study reveal that tonsillar and peripheral blood-derived CD8+ T lymphocytes are susceptible to infection by the Influenza virus in vitro, but with low permissiveness. The susceptibility of CD8+ T lymphocytes to infection varies between individuals. IAV infection promotes a significant increase in the expression of cytokines IFN-α, IFN-β, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-10, which also varies in intensity according to the individual. However, changes in the expression of the T-bet transcription factor and granzyme B effector protein, important effector molecules of CD8+ T lymphocytes, are not observed.
