Imunidade inata na tuberculose

Abstract

O presente trabalho aborda aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, celulares e moleculares sobre a patogénese da tuberculose com ênfase na imunidade inata. A tuberculose (TB) é um problema de saúde pública mundial, com quase dois milhões de mortes anualmente, o que torna essencial a busca de conhecimentos sobre os aspectos imunológicos para o tratamento e prevenção adequada. Apenas 5 a 10% dos indivíduos infectados evoluem para TB e mais de 85% destes desenvolvem lesões nos pulmões. Nos indivíduos imunocomprometidos, estes podem desenvolver TB sistémica, que rapidamente se torna letal. A resposta inflamatória TH1 é a principal responsável pela protecção contra o Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), sendo o IFN-gama a citosina mais importante no mecanismo de protecção. O equilíbrio entre a resposta das TH1/TH2 e o papel das células TCD8 + e TCD4 + é essencial para o conhecimento da resposta imune contra a tuberculose e a reflexão sobre a inquisição de novas formas de tratamento e prevenção da tuberculose. Com o presente trabalho pretende-se abordar como se dá a interacção entre a M. tuberculosis e os receptores das células da imunidade inata e a sua entrada em macrófagos assim como a bactéria subverte os efeitos bactericidas dos macrófagos e os processos necessários para a imunidade protectora, incluindo a produção de citosinas e de quimiocinas.
