Resumo: | Trypanosoma cruzi, the ethiologic agent of Chagas disease, is transmitted through triatomine vectors during their blood-meal on vertebrate host. These hematophagous insects ingest blood about 6 to 12 times its original weight, reaching in a single meal about 10 mM heme bound to hemoglobin. Heme (iron protoporphyrin IX) is an important molecule in metabolism of all living organisms. One important intracellular mechanism to control heme homeostasis is its enzymatic degradation by heme oxygenase (HO). HO catalyzes the degradation of heme to biliverdin (Bv), carbon monoxide and iron. HO is absent in T. cruzi genome, thus we have been investigating the presence of a functional HO in this parasite, since our previous results showed a presence of biliverdin in heme-treated epimastigotes. In the present work, we evaluated the effect of SnPPIX, a HO-1 inhibitor, CoPPIX, a HO inducer, and Bv upon T. cruzi epimastigotes proliferation. The addition of SnPPIX decreased the parasite proliferation in the absence or in the presence of heme. When Bv was added to the culture this effect was reversed; Bv increases the parasite proliferation in the presence of heme. On the other hand, CoPPIX did not interfered on proliferation. Furthermore, we showed through immunoblotting, using an anti-HO-1 monoclonal antibody, an increase in the protein expression in heme-treated epimastigotes. Differently of described HO-1 that has a mass molecular of a 32 kDa, we showed a 45 kDa protein, the only band recognize by the HO-1 antibody. HO-1 expression analysis in the presence of CoPPIX, SnPPIX and biliverdin, showed that only CoPPIX was able to modulate its expression level. Ultrastructural immunocytochemistry analysis suggests a higher expression of the enzyme in heme-treated epimastigotes, and that T. cruzi HO-1 might have a dual distribution, since the anti-HO-1 antibody labeled both cytosol and glycosomes. In order to investigate the T. cruzi HO-1 gene sequence, we isolated genomic DNA from T. cruzi for PCR amplification using primers designed as from the parasite genome. Unfortunately, the two pairs of the designed oligonucleotides tested were unable to amplify a sequence equivalent to a HO-1. In order to isolate the target protein, immunoprecipitation was performed and subsequently immunoblotted with anti-HO-1 antibody. The immunocomplex level was two-fold higher in heme-treated cells. Following the attempt to identify a HO-1 in T. cruzi, we used mass spectrometry from unidimensional electrophoresis. We showed a significant protein profile modification in heme-treated epimastigotes, but further experiments will be necessary, such as mass spectrometry from bidimensional electrophoresis, for identification of the target protein |

Os triatomíneos ingerem numa única alimentação cerca de 10 mM de heme ligado à hemoglobina. O heme é uma importante molécula no metabolismo dos organismos. Um mecanismo intracelular importante no controle de sua homeostase é a degradação enzimática pela Heme Oxigenase (HO) formando biliverdina (Bv), monóxido de carbono e ferro. Como esta enzima não está presente no genoma de T. cruzi, esse trabalho tem por objetivo identificar uma atividade funcional de HO neste parasito, uma vez que dados do nosso laboratório mostram a presença de biliverdina nas incubações dessas células com heme. No presente trabalho testamos o efeito do SnPPIX (inibidor da HO-1), CoPPIX (indutor da HO-1) e Bv sobre a proliferação da forma epimastigota do parasito. A adição de SnPPIX diminuiu a proliferação do parasito na tanto na ausência quanto na presença de heme. Quando a Bv foi adicionada à cultura esse efeito foi revertido; a Bv aumenta a proliferação celular na presença de heme. Por outro lado, a adição de CoPPIX não interferiu na proliferação. Posteriormente, mostramos através da técnica de immunoblotting, utilizando anticorpo monoclonal contra a HO-1, um aumento da expressão de uma proteína em resposta ao heme. Diferentemente das HO-1 já descritas que possuem massa molecular de 32 kDa, a única banda reconhecida pelo anticorpo apresenta 45 kDa. Analisamos também a expressão da HO-1 na presença de CoPPIX, SnPPIX e biliverdina, e somente o CoPPIX foi capaz de modular os níveis de expressão da HO-1. A análise estrutural através da técnica de imunocitoquímica mostrou uma maior expressão da enzima na presença de heme, e que a HO-1 de T. cruzi pode ter mais de uma localização, apresentando marcação citoplasmática e glicossomal. A fim de investigar a sequência da HO-1 de T. cruzi, o DNA genômico foi extraído para amplificação por PCR do gene da HO-1 utilizando oligonucleotídeos desenhados no genoma de T. cruzi. Os dois pares de oligonucleotídeos utilizados nao foram capazes de amplificar uma sequência equivalente a uma HO. Em seguida, utilizamos a técnica de imunoprecipitação, seguida de immunoblotting, com anticorpo anti-HO-1, com objetivo de concentrar a proteína alvo, e observamos um aumento significativo do imunocomplexo nas células tratadas com heme 300 mM, cerca de 2 vezes em relação ao controle. Dando seguimento à tentativa de identificação da HO-1 de T. cruzi, utilizamos a técnica de espectrometria de massa a partir de eletroforese unidimensional, que mostrou uma grande alteração do perfil protéico na presença de heme, mas futuros experimentos são necessários, como eletroforese 2D, para a identificação da proteína alvoSubmitted by Boris INFORMAT (boris@uerj.br) on 2021-04-26T01:10:42Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Cintia.pdf: 9065013 bytes, checksum: d53d70aa42a5ddd6afed10ec21bcd275 (MD5)Made available in DSpace on 2021-04-26T01:10:42Z (GMT).
