Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho, investigamos os mecanismos da resposta imune estimulados por PAS-1 para o desencadeamento do seu efeito modulatório na inflamação alérgica pulmonar. Para tanto, camundongos C57BL/6 selvagens, IL-12-/-, IFN-g-/- e IL-10-/- foram imunizados e desafiados com OVA ou PAS-1 ou OVA + PAS-1. Ainda, camundongos C57BL/6 imunizados e desafiados com OVA receberam transferência adotiva de células CD19+, B220+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+CD25-, CD4+CD25+ PAS-1-primadas. Nossos resultados demonstraram que o efeito imunomodulatório de PAS-1 é mediado por IFN-g e IL-10, mas não por IL-12, e que somente camundongos que receberam células CD8+ ou CD4+CD25+ não desenvolveram inflamação pulmonar e produziram, respectivamente, IFN-g e IL-10/TGF-ß. Em conjunto, estes resultados demonstraram que o efeito imunomodulatório de PAS-1 é devido à estimulação de células T CD8+ produtoras de IFN-g e por CD4+CD25+ secretoras de IL-10 e TGF-ß.

Abstract in English
In this work, we investigate the immune response mechanisms triggered by PAS-1 to promote its immunomodulatory effect in the lung allergic inflammation. For that, wild type, IL-12-/-, IFN-g-/- and IL-10-/- C57BL/6 mice were immunized and challenged with OVA or PAS-1 or OVA + PAS-1. Moreover, wild type C57BL/6 mice were adoptively transferred with PAS-1-primed CD19+, B220+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+CD25-, and CD4+CD25+ lymphocytes. Our results demonstrated that the immunomodulatory effect induced by PAS-1 is mediated by IFN-g and IL-10, but not by IL-12, and only mice which received CD8+ or CD4+CD25+ T cells did not present lung allergic inflammation and produced IFN-g and IL-10/TGF-ß, respectively. Taken together, these results demonstrated that the imunomodulatory effect induced by PAS-1 is due to stimulating CD8+ T cells, which secrete IFN-g, and CD4+CD25+ T cells, which secrete IL-10 and TGF-ß.
