Metabolismo del hemo: las dos caras de los efectos de la acumulación de precursores y porfirinas ABCL
Rossetti,María Victoria; Buzaleh,Ana María; Parera,Victoria Estela; Fukuda,Haydée; Lombardo,María Elisa; Lavandera,Jimena; Gerez,Esther Noemí; Melito,Viviana Alicia; Zuccoli,Johanna Romina; Ruspini,Silvina Fernanda; Puente,Vanesa Rocío; Diez,Berenice Andrea; Teijo,María Julieta; Cerbino,Gabriela Nora; Varela,Laura Sabina; Néstor Guolo,Marcelo; Batlle,Alcira María del Carmen.
Las porfirias son enfermedades metabólicas consecuencia de fallas en la biosíntesis del hemo, caracterizadas por un patrón específico de acumulación y excreción de intermediarios, responsables de su patofisiología. En las porfirias agudas el exceso de ácido d-aminolevúlico (ALA) produce una sintomatología neuroabdominal asociada al daño oxidativo por formación de especies reactivas de oxígeno (ROS), originadas por autooxidaxión del ALA. En las cutáneas, la sintomatología es producto de la acumulación de porfirinas, que como el ALA, inducen la formación de ROS. Su desencadenamiento se precipita por factores endógenos (ayuno, estrés, hormonas) y/o exógenos (fármacos), en particular algunos anestésicos. Se presenta una revisión de los estudios bioquímicos y...

Detección de Trypanosoma cruzi en tejido y sangre murina por PCR convencional y en tiempo real ABCL
Davies,Carolina; Poma,Ramiro Hugo; Marino Cardozo,Rubén; Mora,María Celia; Ramos,Federico; Rajal,Verónica Beatriz; Basombrío,Miguel Ángel.
El objetivo del presente trabajo fue comparar la detección de ADN de Trypanosoma cruzi mediante PCR en tiempo real (qPCR) y PCR convencional en sangre periférica (n=25) y músculo esquelético (n=20) de ratones tratados con drogas tripanomicidas luego de 6 meses post-tratamiento. En las muestras de sangre se detectaron un total de 7 positivas por qPCR, mientras que por PCR convencional sólo se detectaron 2. En músculo esquelético, 15 muestras fueron positivas por qPCR y 3 por PCR convencional. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que la fuerza de concordancia es débil entre las técnicas de PCR utilizadas para la detección de ADN de T. cruzi (k=0,37; 49% positivas por qPCR vs. 11% por PCR convencional, p=0,0001). En las muestras de sangre, los valores...

As doenças parasitárias, também chamadas de “doenças negligenciadas”, continuam sendo uma grande dificuldade para o desenvolvimento social e econômico dos países mais pobres. Podemos citar como exemplo dessas doenças, a leishmaniose e a doença de Chagas. A leishmaniose é causada por parasitas do gênero Leishmania e afeta cerca de 12 milhões de pessoas. A doença de Chagas, causada pelo protozoário Trypanosoma cruzi, causa aproximadamente 50.000 mortes por ano. Os fármacos disponíveis para o tratamento dessas doenças são altamente tóxicos, sendo este um dos motivos que leva à busca por drogas eficazes e seguras para seus tratamentos. As folhas da Annona squamosa, espécie da família Annonaceae, já foram descritas na literatura por suas...

The pathogenesis of Chagas' disease: when autoimmune and parasite-specific immune responses meet Anais da ABC (AABC)
SOARES,MILENA B. P.; PONTES-DE-CARVALHO,LAIN; RIBEIRO-DOS-SANTOS,RICARDO.
Chagas' disease is a major health problem in Latin America, where it constitutes one of the leading causes of heart failure. About one fourth of Trypanosoma cruzi-infected individuals develop chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy (CChC), the most severe form of the disease. CChC is histologically characterized by the presence of multifocal inflammatory infiltrates in the heart, composed mainly by mononuclear cells, usually adhered to myocytes and leading to myocytolysis, and frequently by interstitial fibrosis. The pathogenesis of CChC is still unclear, despite intense investigations both in human beings and in animal models of the disease. Although tissue parasitism is rare in the chronic phase of infection, an immune response targeted to persistent parasites...

In vitro antiparasitic activity and chemical composition of the essential oil from Protium ovatum leaves (Burceraceae) Anais da ABC (AABC)
ESTEVAM,ELISÂNGELA B.B.; DEUS,ISABELLA P.B. DE; SILVA,VANESSA P. DA; SILVA,ELIZABETH A.J. DA; ALVES,CASSIA C.F.; ALVES,JOSÉ MILTON; CAZAL,CRISTIANE M.; MAGALHÃES,LIZANDRA G.; PAGOTTI,MARIANA C.; ESPERANDIM,VIVIANE R.; SOUZA,ALEX F.; MIRANDA,MAYKER L.D..
ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis are globally widespread parasitic diseases which have been responsible for high mortality rates. Since drugs available for their treatment are highly hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic and cardiotoxic, adherence to therapy has been affected. Thus, the search for new, more effective and safer drugs for the treatment of these diseases is necessary. Natural products have stood out as an alternative to searching for new bioactive molecules with therapeutic potential. In this study, the chemical composition and antiparasitic activity of the essential oil from Protium ovatum leaves against trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi and the promastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis were evaluated. The essential oil was promising...

Susceptible hosts: a resort for parasites right in the eye of the immune response Anais da ABC (AABC)
DOSREIS,GEORGE A..
Trypanosomatid protozoan parasites express an aggressive strategy of parasitism by infecting host macrophages and inducing extensive T-lymphocyte activation. One goal of such strategy is to drive the immune response of genetically susceptible hosts to a state of unresponsiveness regarding parasite killing. Unresponsiveness is achieved through different mechanisms, depending on the parasite species. In this brief review, recent findings on the molecular and cellular bases of the parasites' exploitation of host immune responses are discussed.

Mammalian cell invasion and intracellular trafficking by Trypanosoma cruzi infective forms Anais da ABC (AABC)
Mortara,Renato A.; Andreoli,Walter K.; Taniwaki,Noemi N.; Fernandes,Adriana B.; Silva,Claudio V. da; Fernandes,Maria Cecília D.C.; L'abbate,Carolina; Silva,Solange da.
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas’ disease, occurs as different strains or isolates that may be grouped in two major phylogenetic lineages: T. cruzi I, associated with the sylvatic cycle and T. cruzi II, linked to the human disease. In the mammalian host the parasite has to invade cells and many studies implicated the flagellated trypomastigotes in this process. Several parasite surface components and some of host cell receptors with which they interact have been identified. Our work focused on how amastigotes, usually found growing in the cytoplasm, can invade mammalian cells with infectivities comparable to that of trypomastigotes. We found differences in cellular responses induced by amastigotes and trypomastigotes regarding...

Correlation between infection rate of triatominies and Chagas Disease in Southwest of Bahia, Brazil: a warning sign? Anais da ABC (AABC)
SILVEIRA,ELIEZER A. DA; RIBEIRO,ISRAEL S.; AMORIM,MIGUEL S.; ROCHA,DALVA V.; COUTINHO,HELDER S.; FREITAS,LEANDRO M. DE; TOMAZI,LAIZE; SILVA,ROBSON A.A. DA.
ABSTRACT Chagas disease, caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi, has a wide distribution in South America, and its main method of control is the elimination of triatomines. It is presented here the geographic distribution and the rate of natural infection by T. cruzi of triatomines collected and evaluated from 2008 to 2013 in southwest of Bahia. Triatomines were captured in the intradomiciliary and peridomiciliary areas of five cities located in the southwest of Bahia state, identified, and analyzed for the presence of trypanosomatids in their feces. During the study period the number of patients suspected for acute Chagas disease was recovered from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). 8966 triatomines were captured and identified as belonging to...

Balanced cytokine-producing pattern in mice immunized with an avirulent Trypanosoma cruzi Anais da ABC (AABC)
Soares,Milena B. P.; Gonçalves,Renata; Pyrrho,Alexandre S.; Costa,Deise A.; Paiva,Claudia N.; Gattass,Cerli R..
We have previously demonstrated that inoculation of BALB/c mice with trypomastigotes of CL-14, an avirulent Trypanosoma cruzi clone, prevents the development of parasitemia and mortality after challenge with virulent CL strain. In this report, we investigated the cytokine and antibody profiles induced by inoculation with CL-14 clone. Groups of mice were inoculated with trypomastigotes of CL-14 clone and challenged with infective CL strain. Challenged CL-14-inoculated mice had lower levels of IFN-<FONT FACE=Symbol>g</font> and higher production of IgG1 antibodies as compared to CL strain-infected mice. Previous inoculation with CL-14 clone partially prevented the suppression of IL-2 production caused by CL strain infection. No significant...

The present investigation was to evaluate the potential trypanocidal activity of crude ethanolic extract of the fruits of Solanum palinacanthum, Solanum lycocarpum and the glycoalcaloid, solamargine. S. palinacanthum and S. lycocarpum fruit powders were submitted to exhaustively extraction with 96% ethanol and solamargine were isolated from the extract of S. palinacanthum. Both extracts and solamargine were analysed for trypanocidal activity by using MTT colorimetric assay. Extracts of S. palinacanthum showed to be more active (IC50 = 175.9 µg.ml–1) than S. lycocarpum (IC50 = 194.7 µg.ml–1). Solamargine presented a strong activity (IC50 = 15.3 µg.ml–1), which can explain the better activity of the both extracts. Benznidazol (IC50 = 9.0 µg.ml–1) is the only...

Inositol metabolism in Trypanosoma cruzi: potential target for chemotherapy against Chagas' disease Anais da ABC (AABC)
OLIVEIRA,MECIA M.; EINICKER-LAMAS,MARCELO.
Chagas' disease is a debilitating and often fatal disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The great majority of surface molecules in trypanosomes are either inositol-containing phospholipids or glycoproteins that are anchored into the plasma membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors. The polyalcohol myo-inositol is the precursor for the biosynthesis of these molecules. In this brief review, recent findings on some aspects of the molecular and cellular fate of inositol in T. cruzi life cycle are discussed and identified some points that could be targets for the development of parasite-specific therapeutic agents.

Two special organelles found in Trypanosoma cruzi Anais da ABC (AABC)
SOUZA,WANDERLEY DE; CARREIRO,ISABEL PORTO; MIRANDA,KILDARE; SILVA,NARCISA L. CUNHA E.
We review here two unique organelles from Trypanosoma cruzi. One of them is the acidocalcisome, cytoplasmic vacuoles containing a very high Ca2+ concentration and a Ca2+ - H+ translocating ATPase activity, present in all trypanosomatids. The other organelle is the reservosome, site of accumulation of endocytosed macromolecules, very rich in cysteine proteinase, that is present only in epimastigote forms of trypanosomes belonging to the Schyzotrypanum sub-genus.

Effect of acetylsalicylic acid on total myenteric neurons in mice experimentally infected with Trypanosoma cruzi Anais da ABC (AABC)
SOUZA,NOEMI D. DE; BELIN,BRUNA S.; MASSOCATTO,CRISTINA L.; ARAÚJO,SILVANA M. DE; SANT’ANA,DÉBORA M.G.; ARAÚJO,EDUARDO J.A.; P. FILHO,PHILENO; NIHEI,OSCAR K.; MOREIRA,NEIDE M..
Abstract: We investigated the effects of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on the total myenteric neuronal population in the descending colon in Trypanosoma cruzi-infected mice. Thirty-five male Swiss mice, 60 days old, were divided into a control group (C group), control group treated with ASA (CA group), infected group (I group), and infected group treated with ASA (IA group). A total of 1300 trypomastigotes of the Y strain of T. cruzi were intraperitoneally inoculated in the IA and I groups. The CA and IA groups were treated with ASA intraperitoneally. At 75 days post-infection (dpi), all of the animals were sacrificed. Neurons in the colon were stained with Giemsa, quantified, and measured. No difference in the course of infection was observed between the IA...

Chagas disease in prehistory Anais da ABC (AABC)
Ferreira,Luiz F.; Jansen,Ana M.; Araújo,Adauto.
The classical hypothesis proposes that Chagas disease has been originated in the Andean region among prehistoric people when they started domesticating animals, changing to sedentary habits, and adopting agriculture. These changes in their way of life happened nearly 6,000 years ago. However, paleoparasitological data based on molecular tools showed that Trypanosoma cruzi infection and Chagas disease were commonly found both in South and North American prehistoric populations long before that time, suggesting that Chagas disease may be as old as the human presence in the American continent. The study of the origin and dispersion of Trypanosoma cruzi infection among prehistoric human populations may help in the comprehension of the clinical and...

The pentose phosphate pathway in Trypanosoma cruzi: a potential target for the chemotherapy of Chagas disease Anais da ABC (AABC)
Igoillo-Esteve,Mariana; Maugeri,Dante; Stern,Ana L.; Beluardi,Paula; Cazzulo,Juan J..
Trypanosoma cruzi is highly sensitive to oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species. Trypanothione, the parasite's major protection against oxidative stress, is kept reduced by trypanothione reductase, using NADPH; the major source of the reduced coenzyme seems to be the pentose phosphate pathway. Its seven enzymes are present in the four major stages in the parasite's biological cycle; we have cloned and expressed them in Escherichia coli as active proteins. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which controls glucose flux through the pathway by its response to the NADP/NADPH ratio, is encoded by a number of genes per haploid genome, and is induced up to 46-fold by hydrogen peroxide in metacyclic trypomastigotes. The genes encoding...
