Isolamento e caracterização parcial de adesina de Paracoccidioides brasiliensis ligante de fibronectina

Abstract

The capacity of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, the etiological agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), to provoke illnesses with great variety of clinical manifestations depends on its virulence factors, particularly on those involved in the cellular interaction. The present study was designed to isolate and characterize the adhesin fibronectin-binding related to the capacity of this fungus to adhere to the host by comparing P. brasiliensis samples, taken before (18a) and after (18b) animal inoculation and cultured on Fava Netto s medium and on blood base agar solid medium and liquid (BHI) medium with 5% sheep blood. The 18a and 18b extracts, independent of the medium, presented proteins with the molecular weights of 106 and 12 kDa. Extracts from Pb18a and 18b cultured in blood agar solid and liquid (BHI) medium showed higher levels of protein expression than that from samples cultured on Fava Netto. Apparently, the use of the sheep blood in the medium is similar to the animal passage. Ligand affinity binding assays showed that proteins of 54 kDa, pI 5.6; 58 kDa and pI of 5.9 and 60 kDa and pI de 6.3 were evident in all P. brasiliensis cell-free extracts, and all had properties of adhesin fibronectin-binding. A fibronectin-binding protein of 54 kDa was purified by affinity chromatography and by electro elution. The protein purified was evaluated by isoelectric focusing, confirming the presence of protein of 54 kDa and pI of 5.6 and its role as an adhesin. The cell-free extracts from 113, 339, 2663-R3, 2681, PB01, 1934 P. brasiliensis isolates, also showed the expression of 54 kDa protein, and it was more evident in 113 and 339 isolates.

A capacidade de Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, agente etiológico da paracoccidioidomicose (PCM), de causar doença com manifestações clínicas variadas, depende de seus fatores de virulência, em particular daqueles envolvidos na interação celular. Neste estudo pretendeu-se isolar e caracterizar adesina(s) de P. brasiliensis ligante(s) de fibronectina relacionadas à interação do fungo com células epiteliais de origem pulmonar, comparando amostras de P. brasiliensis, antes (18a) e depois (18b) da passagem em animal, posteriormente cultivadas em meio de Fava Netto e em meio sólido (ágar base) e líquido (BHI) contendo 5% de sangue de carneiro. Os extratos 18a e 18b obtidos dos diferentes meios apresentaram proteínas variando de 106 a 12 kDa. Os extratos da amostra 18a e 18b cultivados em meios sólido e líquido acrescidos de sangue demonstraram maior expressão de algumas proteínas, quando comparado às amostras 18a e 18b cultivadas apenas em meio de Fava Netto. Aparentemente, o uso de meios de cultura acrescidos de sangue é semelhante ao verificado após a passagem em animal. As proteínas com massas moleculares de 54 kDa e pI de 5,6; 58 kDa e pI de 5,9 e 60 kDa com pI de 6,3 foram caracterizadas como adesinas ligantes de fibronectina. Uma delas, a proteína de 54 kDa foi purificada por cromatografia de afinidade e eluída por eletroeluição. O sobrenadante contendo a proteína purificada foi avaliado por eletroforese bidimensional, confirmando a presença da proteína de 54 kDa e pI de 5,6 e seu papel como adesina. Os extratos cell-free dos isolados 113, 339, 2663-R3, 2681, PB01, 1934 de P. brasiliensis...
