Title in Portuguese
Estudo das bases celulares e moleculares do controle da resposta imune mediada por linfócitos T CD8+ específicos durante a infecção experimental por Trypanosoma cruzi e vacinação com vetor adenoviral recombinante.
Keywords in Portuguese
Trypanosoma cruzi
Adenovírus
Foxp3
Imunoproteassomo
Linfócitos T CD8+
Vacina
Abstract in Portuguese
O controle da infecção por Trypanosoma cruzi dependente da resposta de linfócitos T CD8+. Porém, o parasito faz a indução subótima destes linfócitos, que pode ser corrigida pela vacinação genética. Não se sabe como T. cruzi induz uma resposta ruim dos linfócitos T CD8+, nem como a vacinação reverte esta resposta. Estas questões foram objeto de estudo da presente tese. O envolvimento do imunoproteassomo foi investigado na indução de imunidade in vivo em animais triplamente deficientes das subunidades 1i, 2i e 5i (TKO), indicando que o imunoproteassomo é essencial para o processamento dos epítopos de T. cruzi relacionados à imunidade protetora de linfócitos T CD8+ gerados durante a infecção e na vacinação. Também foi observado que T. cruzi, mas não adenovírus, é capaz de tornar uma resposta ótima de linfócitos transgênicos induzidos in vivo em subótima. A interferência do parasito envolveu a supressão ativa do priming dos linfócitos T CD8+ mediada por linfócitos T CD4+ CD25- Foxp3+ de modo independente de IL-10, mas parcialmente dependente de TGF- e CTLA-4.

Abstract in English
The control of infection by Trypanosoma cruzi relies on the response of CD8+ T cells. However, the parasite suboptimally induces these lymphocytes, which can be corrected by genetic vaccination. It is unknown how T. cruzi induces a poor response of CD8+ T cells and how vaccination reverts this. These questions were subject of study in this thesis. The involvement of the immunoproteasome was investigated in the in vivo induction of immunity in mice triply deficient of the subunits β1i, β2i e β5i (TKO), indicating that the immunoproteasome is essential for the processing of T. cruzi epitopes related to the protective immunity of CD8+ T cells generated upon infection and vaccination. Also, it was observed that T. cruzi, and not adenovirus, is capable of turning an optimal response of in vivo-induced transgenic CD8+ T cells into suboptimal. The parasite interference involved the active suppression of CD8+ T cell priming mediated by CD4+ CD25- Foxp3+ lymphocytes, in an IL-10-independent, but TGF-β and CTLA-4 partially dependent manner.
