Abstract in Portuguese
Pacientes com doença reumática cardíaca (DRC) desenvolvem lesões valvares mediadas por linfócitos T CD4+, capazes de reconhecer cruzadamente proteínas cardíacas e estreptocócicas pelo mecanismo de mimetismo molecular. Neste trabalho empregamos uma biblioteca peptídica de Phage Display para identificar auto-antígenos cardíacos capazes de serem reconhecidos por duas linhagens intralesionais de linfócitos T e um clone derivado de uma das linhagens isolados de pacientes com DRC. A análise dos peptídeos dos fagos em banco de dados de proteínas revelou novos epitopos da miosina cardíaca, laminina, vimentina e outras proteínas coiled-coil, provavelmente involvidos no processo auto-imune da DRC. Outras moléculas inflamatórias como citocinas, integrinas e fatores de crescimento também foram identificadas

Abstract in English
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients develop valvar lesions with CD4+ T lymphocytes infiltrating the heart. Molecular mimicry between streptococcal and cardiac proteins recognized by these T cells may explain these auto-aggressive lesions. In the present work we used a Phage Display peptide library to identify cardiac antigens which could be recognized by two heart infiltrate T cell lines and by a T cell clone derived from one of the lines which were isolated from RHD patients. Using the protein data bank to analyse the phage peptides, we observed that many sequences showed homology with cardiac myosin, laminin, vimentin and other coiled-coil proteins, suggesting the involvement of these proteins in the autoimmune process of RHD. Other inflammatory molecules such as cytokines and integrins were also identified
