Title in Portuguese
Interação da população de células dendríticas CD103+ com células epiteliais alveolares do tipo II infectadas por Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract in Portuguese
A tuberculose, doença causada pelo bacilo Mycobacterium tuberculosis, provoca diversas respostas imunológicas complexas que podem levar à resolução da doença ou seu pior desfecho, a morte do seu hospedeiro. O início da infecção ocorre no microambiente alveolar, no qual a interação de células epiteliais com células dendríticas residentes poderiam contribuir para eliminar ou não os bacilos. Apesar de vários estudos analisarem o papel isolado de células dendríticas ou de macrófagos na infecção por M. tuberculosis, poucos estudos levam em consideração a interface das células epiteliais com essas leucócitos. Em nosso estudo, cultivamos uma linhagem (MLE-15) de células epiteliais alveolares do tipo II (AEC-II), que foram infectadas com M. tuberculosis (MOI 10), e investigamos se os sobrenadantes dessa cultura, denominado meio condicionado, ativaria a população de células dendríticas (DC) CD103+. Como controles experimentais, usamos meio condicionado de AEC-II não infectadas, LPS ou infecção por M. tuberculosis. O meio condicionado de AEC-II infectadas promoveu maturação parcial de DC CD103+, caraterizada pela regulação positiva na expressão CD86 e de CD80, mas não de MHC-II. O estado de maturação parcial foi mantido independente da infecção das DC CD103+ ocorrer antes ou depois do tratamento com o meio condicionado. A maturação parcial das DC CD103+ foi ineficaz em induzir a proliferação e a diferenciação de células T CD4+ produtoras de IFN-y. Nossos resultados sobre a investigação da interface de AEC-II com DC adicionam conteúdo original sobre as formas de evasão de M. tuberculosis da resposta inata. Ainda, nossos resultados mostram que a identificação de moléculas contidas no meio condicionado de AEC-II infectadas por M. tuberculosis podem revelar novos alvos para terapias imunológicas contra a tuberculose.

Abstract in English
Tuberculosis, a disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis, causes several complex immune responses that can lead to the resolution of the disease or its worst outcome, the death of its host. The beginning of the infection occurs in the alveolar microenvironment, in which the interaction of epithelial cells with resident dendritic cells could contribute to eliminate or not the bacilli. Although several studies have analyzed the isolated role of dendritic cells or macrophages in M. tuberculosis infection, few studies consider the interface of epithelial cells with these leukocytes. In our study, we cultured a strain (MLE-15) of type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC-II), which were infected with M. tuberculosis (MOI 10), and investigated whether supernatants from this culture, called conditioned medium, would activate the population of CD103+ dendritic cells (DC). As experimental controls, we used conditioned medium from uninfected AEC-II, LPS or M. tuberculosis infection. Conditioned medium from infected AEC-II promoted partial maturation of CD103+ DC, characterized by upregulation in CD86 and CD80 expression, but not MHC-II. The partial maturation state was maintained regardless of whether CD103+ DC infection occurred before or after treatment with the conditioned medium. Partial maturation of CD103+ DC was ineffective in inducing proliferation and differentiation of IFN-y producing CD4+ T cells. Our results on the investigation of the AEC-II interface with DC add original content on the ways in which M. tuberculosis evades the innate response. Furthermore, our results show that the identification of molecules contained in the conditioned medium of AEC-II infected by M. tuberculosis may reveal new targets for immunological therapies against tuberculosis.
