RESUMO
A Artrite Encefalite Caprina (AEC) e a Linfadenite Caseosa (LC) possuem alta incidência e transmissibilidade em pequenos ruminantes. Como ambas possuem tropismo por monócitos-macrófagos e afetam mecanismos da resposta inata do hospedeiro, acredita-se que a AEC predispõe o animal a infecções por Corynebacteruim pseudotuberculosis, agente etiológico da LC. Para confirmar esta hipótese, avaliou-se a fagocitose de células da série monócito-macrófago de cabras naturalmente infectadas pelo vírus da AEC (VAEC). Para tanto, foram utilizadas 30 cabras da raça Saanen, alocadas em dois grupos distintos, com 15 animais cada, conforme a sororreatividade de anticorpos séricos antivírus da AEC. Células mononucleares de sangue periférico foram isoladas por gradiente de densidade e plaqueadas para isolamento de células da série monócito-macrófago. Posteriormente, o ensaio de fagocitose de C. pseudotuberculosis foi realizado, após incubação por duas horas a 37ºC a 5% de CO2, e a visualização da fagocitose foi identificada por microscopia óptica. O presente estudo não encontrou diferença na porcentagem de monócito-macrófagos que realizaram fagocitose entre os diferentes grupos (P = 0,41). Todavia, a análise quantitativa de bactérias fagocitadas, demonstrou maior capacidade fagocítica pelos macrófagos-monócitos do grupo sororreagente ao vírus da AEC. Correlação entre monócitos fagocitando e macrófagos que fagocitaram mais de 12 bactérias foi observado neste grupo (r = 0,488; P = 0,006), não sendo o mesmo encontrado no grupo de animais sorroreagentes negativos. Os dados demonstram aumento na intensidade da fagocitose de macrófagos de animais infectados com o vírus da AEC.
ABSTRACT
Caprine arthritis encephalitis (CAE) and caseous lymphadenitis (CL) have high incidence and transmissibility in small ruminants. Since both virus have tropism for macrophages and monocytes and affect the innate immune response, it is believed that CAE can predispose the animal to infection by Corynebacteruim pseudotuberculosis, the etiological agent of CL. To confirm this hypothesis, we evaluated phagocytosis from the monocyte-macrophage cells from 30 Saanen goats. Goats were uniformly divided in two groups according to results of agar gel immunodiffusion test for CAE virus (CAEV). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and the monocyte-macrophage cells were isolated from the mononuclear cells by their adhesion properties in plaques. Afterwards, phagocytosis of C. psudotuberculosis was performed for two hours at 37ºC, 5% of CO2, and assessed by microscopic visualization. There was no difference in the percentage of monocyte-macrophage cells that phagocytozed C. bovis between groups (P=0.41). However, when phagocytosis rates were classified according to the number of C. pseudotuberculosis phagocyted, the percentage of monocyte-macrophage cells that internalized more than 12 bacteria were higher in serologically CAEV positive animals compared to the serologically negative ones (P<0.001). Furthermore, a positive and significant correlation (r = 0.488; P = 0.006) between the percentage of monocyte-macrophage cells that internalized more than 12 bacteria and the percentage of monocyte that were carrying out phagocytosis was also encountered in serologically CAEV positive goats, however the same were not observed in serologically negative ones. These results demonstrated an alteration in the intensity of C. pseudotuberculosis phagocytosis by monocytes-macrophages from goats infected by CAEV. Thus, these results indicated that goats infected with CAEV may be more susceptible to CL.
