Resumo: | The paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an infectious disease caused by species of the genus Paracoccidioides, an intracellular pathogen that depends on an effective and protective specific-host cellular immune response. In this context, the peritoneal environment emerges as a possible site for immunotherapy, since phagocytes exhibit plastic biological functions related to induce/regulate inflammation, angiogenesis and tissue remodeling processes as well as to migrate to inflamed and infected tissue. Recently, it was reported that peritoneal cells stimulated with Concanavalin A (Con-A) show an increased cell activation characterized by high phagocytic activity, increased production of TNF-α and expression of mannose receptor. Thus, this study aimed to identify a possible action of Con-A in the peritoneal cavity, specifically the migration of peritoneal phagocytes and the profile of the response by peritoneal phagocytes in a murine model of pulmonary paracoccidioidomycosis. To this, BALB/c mice were used, infected intratracheally with the fungus or no. Assessment of migration of peritoneal phagocytes was by vital dye PKH26. The treatment with Con-A was by intraperitoneal route, the doses were given with an interval of four days (peak of macrophage activity) and the peritoneal phagocytes were analyzed in vitro for production of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, MCP-1, IFN-γ e IL -12p70 and reactive oxygen species by. Our findings showed that the treatment with three doses of Con-A in no-infected mice induces migration of peritoneal cells to the lung and also a pro-Th1 profile by peritoneal phagocytes. Furthermore, the treatment with three doses of Con-A lead a protective immune response in mice infected with P. brasiliensis, characterized by increased production of H2O2 in the presence or absence of P. brasiliensis antigens and in the production of IFN-γ and NO in the presence of fungal antigen. Despite of these findings, no changes were observed in the ... |
