Imunidade inata na tuberculose

Imunidade inata na tuberculose

Abstract

A tuberculose é uma doença infecciosa que afecta cerca de um terço da população mundial, sendo considerada uma crise mundial de saúde. Após contacto do hospedeiro com o MTB, a resposta imune inata protege alguns indivíduos, mas noutros não é suficiente e gera-se uma resposta adaptativa. Os macrófagos e as DC desempenham diversas funções e participam em vários mecanismos antimicrobianos que limitam o crescimento e eliminam o MTB. A activação dos receptores TLR representa um elo de ligação entre a imunidade inata e a imunidade adquirida contra patogénicos microbianos. A vitamina D pode, também, induzir a libertação de péptidos antimicrobianos, assim como regular a função dos macrófagos para melhorar a atividade anti-micobacteriana e modular as respostas do hospedeiro. O facto de os macrófagos infectados com estirpes virulentas de MTB sofrerem necrose, enquanto as estirpes mutantes atenuadas e avirulentas provocam apoptose, permite sugerir que as estirpes selvagens têm a capacidade de inibir ativamente a apoptose e atrasar o início da resposta imunitária. Ao longo dos últimos anos foi-se adquirindo uma melhor percepção sobre a resposta imune inata ao MTB, embora ainda seja necessário aprender muito acerca da natureza desta de modo a prevenir/limitar o estabelecimento da infecção pelo bacilo.
