Abstract in Portuguese
As células dendríticas (DCs) são as principais células apresentadoras de antígenos (APCs). Foi proposto que as DCs selecionam os Ags que serão apresentados em MHC-II baseado na presença de ligantes para TLR na partícula fagocitada. Contudo, esse fenômeno não foi estudado em classe I. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar se o acoplamento de Ags particulados a um agonista de TLR melhoraria a apresentação cruzada (AC) dos mesmos por DCs humanas tratadas com as moléculas acopladas. Nós vimos que a presença de um ligante de TLR no material fagocitado não contribuiu nem para a maturação do fagossomo, nem para a via endossômica de AC. A AC não envolve acidificação endossômica e depende de moléculas de MHC recém-sintetizadas do retículo endoplasmático. Nossos dados confirmam também a importância do estado de maturação das DCs para a indução de proliferação de LT CD8+, embora este não tenha sido associado com o nível de apresentação do complexo MHC-I/peptídeo, ou com as moléculas normalmente utilizadas para indicar a maturação das DCs.

Abstract in English
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the main antigen presenting cells (APCs). It was proposed that DCs select the Ags that will be presented at their surfaces on class II based on the presence of a TLR-ligand on the cargo. However, the relevance of the coupling of the Ag to a TLR-ligand on class I was not yet addressed. Thus, the goal of this study was to investigate whether the coupling of particulate Ags to a TLR-agonist improve the cross-presentation (CP). We saw that the CP does not involve endosomal acidification and it relies on newly synthesized MHC-I molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum. Also, the presence of a TLR-ligand on the cargo neither contributed to the phagosome maturation nor to the endosomic route of CP. Furthermore, the maturation status of DCs was crucial for the induction of CD8+ T cells proliferation. Although the coupling of the Ag to the adjuvant has neither changed the expression of the markers related to maturation nor the presentation of the complex MHC-I/peptide at the DC surface, it affected its capacity of stimulating CD8+ T cells.
