O papel dos cílios e da sinalização Hedgehog (Hh) na regeneração da barbatana caudal de larvas de peixe-zebra

Abstract

Os cílios são estruturas formadas por microtúbulos, que emergem da superfície das células. Existem vários tipos de cílios, como os cílios primários, sem a capacidade de se moverem, que estão presentes em células mono-ciliadas, e os cílios móveis que estão presentes em células multi-ciliadas. Os cílios primários, presentes em quase todo o tipo de células dos vertebrados são necessários para a transdução de sinal da via Hh (Hedgehog). Vários componentes desta via, como a proteína transmembranar Smo (Smoothened) e os factores de transcrição Gli (Glioma) localizam-se nos cílios primários. Os cílios são organelos necessários à manutenção da homeostase e reparação de diversos tecidos. Assim sendo, é importante averiguar se os cílios desempenham uma função durante a regeneração epimórfica. Este tipo de regeneração, consiste no processo através do qual uma estrutura amputada ou danificada regenera a partir de um blastema, ou seja, de um grupo de células com grande potencial proliferativo e com capacidade de dar origem a diferentes tipos celulares. Durante a regeneração da barbatana caudal de peixe-zebra, as vias FGF (Fibroblast Growth factor), Hh e Wnt (Wingless-Int) actuam de forma interligada para conduzir o processo regenerativo. No presente estudo foram usadas as fin fold caudais de larvas de peixe-zebra como modelo de estudo de regeneração. Neste trabalho demonstramos a existência de um evento de ciliogénese caracterizado pelo aumento do tamanho e número de cílios durante o processo regenerativo. Verificámos ainda que a via de sinalização Hh é fundamental para a regeneração da fin fold das larvas e sugerimos que este processo possa ocorrer independentemente da presença de cílios.

Cilia are microtubule based organelles that protrude from the cell surface. There are two types of cilia: primary cilia, which are imotile and are solitary structures in the cells; and motile cilia, that occur in multi-ciliated cells. Primary cilia are present in most of the vertebrate cell types and are required for Hh (Hedgehog) signaling transduction. Some proteins of the Hh pathway localize at the cilia, like the transmembranar protein Smo (Smoothened) and the transcription factors Gli (Glioma). Because cilia are required for the homeostasis and repair of several tissues, it is important to understand if these organelles also play a role during epimorphic regeneration. In this process the amputated or injured structure regenerates from a pool of cells, called the blastema that has the capacity to differentiate into different cell types. During regeneration, signaling pathways like FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor), Hh and Wnt (Wingless-Int) operate to guide the regenerative process. In the present study, we have used zebrafish larvae caudal fin fold as a model to study regeneration. We demonstrate that during regeneration a ciliogenic event occurs, which is characterized by an increase in the number and size of cilia. In addiction, we show that Hh signaling is required for larvae fin fold regeneration and we suggest that this process can occur independently of cilia.
