Avaliação do efeito das enterotoxinas estafilocócicas tipos A e B em células Th17, Th22 e CD38+ na dermatite atópica do adulto / Evaluation of the effect of staphylococcal enterotoxins A and B in Th17, Th22 and CD38+ cells in adult atopic dermatitis

INTRODUÇÃO: A dermatite atópica (DA) é uma doença cutânea inflamatória, acompanhada por prurido intenso e xerose cutânea. A etiopatogenia da DA é multifatorial, envolvendo fatores genéticos, ambientais e imunológicos, dentre outros. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a influência das enterotoxinas A e B do Staphylococcus aureus (SEA e SEB) na resposta mediada por células Th17 e Th22 nos indivíduos adultos com DA. MÉTODOS: Foram selecionados 38 pacientes adultos com DA e um grupo controle com 40 indivíduos adultos, pareados por idade e gênero Os métodos utilizados foram: 1) ELISA: dosagem dos níveis séricos de IL-6, IL-17, IL-22 e IL-12p40/IL-23 e em sobrenadantes de culturas de células mononucleares do sangue periférico (PBMC) estimuladas com SEA e SEB; 2) Imuno-histoquímica: análise da expressão de IL-17 em fragmentos de pele; 3) Citometria de fluxo: a) análise das citocinas circulantes em amostras de soro: IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, TNF, IL-17A e IFN-y b)avaliação das células T CD4+ mono e polifuncionais secretoras de IL-17, IL-22, TNF, IFN-y, MIP-1beta, e expressão do marcador de ativação celular CD38; c) células Th22 e Tc22 estimuladas com SEA e SEB. RESULTADOS: 1) Através do ELISA, a secreção de IL-22 sérica e em PBMC induzidas por SEA e SEB foi significativamente mais elevada, quando comparada ao grupo controle; 2) houve aumento na expressão de IL-17 em amostras de pele de doentes de DA através da imuno-histoquímica; 3) Através da citometria de fluxo, foram detectados: a) níveis séricos de IL-2, 5, 6, 10, 17A e IFN-y elevados no grupo com DA em relação aos controles; houve diferença significativa nos níveis circulantes de IL-17A nos pacientes com DA moderada e grave; b) na avaliação monofuncional das células T CD4+ sob estímulo de SEA/SEB, houve redução da expressão das citocinas IFN-y, IL-17A, IL-22 ou TNF na DA, quando comparadas ao grupo controle; na análise polifuncional das células T CD4+/CD8+, ocorreu redução da resposta na DA em relação aos controles; nos pacientes atópicos encontramos aumento da resposta em situação basal na dependência de CD38, e redução na resposta frente a SEA/SEB na ausência de CD38; c) encontramos resposta reduzida das células Th22, e elevada de células Tc22 frente aos estímulos SEA e SEB, nos pacientes com DA. CONCLUSÕES: O estudo corrobora o papel patogênico das enterotoxinas estafilocócicas na DA. A ativação crônica com superantígenos estafilocócicos pode contribuir com a alta frequência de células T CD4+ CD38+ polifuncionais, e com a resposta polifuncional anérgica, mediadas por células T CD38- / BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease with intense itching and xerosis. AD pathogenesis is multifactorial, involving genetic, environmental, and immunological factors, among others. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of enterotoxins A and B from Staphylococcus aureus (SEA and SEB) in Th17 and Th22 cell response in adults with AD. METHODS: We evaluated 38 adult patients with AD, and a control group of 40 adults, age and gender matched. Assays: 1) ELISA: evaluation of IL-6, IL-17, IL-12p40/IL-23 and IL-22 serum levels and in supernatants of mononuclear cell cultures from peripheral blood (PBMC), stimulated with SEA/SEB; 2) Immunohistochemistry: analysis of IL-17 expression in skin specimens; 3) Flow cytometry: a) analysis of circulating cytokines in serum samples: IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, TNF, IL-17A and IFN-y b) evaluation of mono and polyfunctional TCD4+ cells that secrete IL-17, IL-22, TNF, IFN-y, MIP-1beta, and expression of the activation marker CD38; c) analysis of Tc22 and Th22 cells stimulated with SEA and SEB. RESULTS: 1) Secretion of IL-22 in the serum and from supernatants of cell cultures from PBMC, stimulated with SEA and SEB were higher in AD patients, when compared to the control group by ELISA; 2) there was an increase of IL-17 expression in skin samples by immunohistochemistry; 3) Flow cytometry showed: a) elevated serum levels of IL-2, 5, 6, 10, 17A and IFN-y in AD, when compared to controls; there was a significant difference in circulating levels of IL-17A in patients with moderate and severe disease; b) monofunctional evaluation of T CD4+ cells under SEA/SEB stimuli showed reduced expression of IFN-y, IL-17A, IL-22 or TNF cytokines in AD, compared to controls; the same was observed for polyfunctional CD4+/CD8+ T cells analysis, exhibiting a diminished response in AD. In atopic patients under basal conditions, there was an augmented CD38- dependent response and reduced pattern to SEA/SEB in the absence of CD38; c) finally, we observed a reduced response of Th22 cells and enhanced Tc22 cells under SEA/SEB stimuli in patients with AD. CONCLUSIONS: This study corroborates the pathogenic role of staphylococcal enterotoxins in AD. Chronic activation with staphylococcal superantigens may contribute to the high frequency of polyfunctional CD4 +CD38+ T cells and with the anergic polyfunctional response mediated by T CD38- T cells

A resposta proliferativa das células mononucleares do sangue periférico dos adultos com dermatite atópica mostrou-se diminuída após estímulos com mitógenos (enterotoxinas estafilocócicas A e B, "pokeweed" e fitohemaglutinina) e antígenos (toxóide tetânico e Candida albicans). A correlação positiva dos níveis séricos de interleucina-18, IgE e escore de gravidade da doença sugerem que esta citocina seria um marcador de atividade da dermatite atópica do adulto / A reduced proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in adults with atopic dermatitis was detected when stimuli with mitogens (staphylococcal enterotoxins A and B, phytohemaglutinin, pokeweed), and with antigens (tetanus toxoid and Candida albicans) were performed. A positive correlation of interleukin-18, IgE levels and severity scores of the disease suggest that this cytokine could be a marker of disease activity in adult atopic dermatitis
