Vírus linfotrópicos de células T humanas dos tipos 1 e 2 (HTLV-1 e HTLV-2). Estudo de segmentos do genoma proviral obtidos de pacientes com HIV/Aids de São Paulo e de Londrina e região / Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 and 2 (HTLV-1 and HTLV-2). Study on proviral genome segments obtained from patients with HIV/Aids from Sao Paulo and Londrina and vicinities.

O Brasil é considerado o país com o maior número absoluto de indivíduos infectados pelos vírus linfotrópicos de células T humanas dos tipos 1 e 2 (HTLV-1 e HTLV2), perto de 2,5 milhões; além disso, é também considerado epidêmico para o HIV e, portanto, casos de coinfecção HIV/HTLV são frequentes no país. O presente trabalho efetuou o seqüenciamento das regiões LTR, env e tax do genoma proviral do HTLV-1 e do HTLV-2 isolados das amostras de sangue de pacientes coinfectados pelo HIV-1 de Londrina e região (n=34) e de São Paulo (n=20), para realizar a caracterização molecular e determinar subtipos virais. Foram utilizadas na análise das sequências as ferramentas Sequencher 4.7, BLAST, Genotyping-NCBI, Subtyping-REGA, BioEdit 7.0.5.3, ClustalW, GenBank, PAUP 4.0.b10, Modeltest 3.7, TreeView 1.6.6 e MEGA4. As diversas análises confirmaram como subtipos prevalentes o HTLV-1a, subgrupo Transcontinental A, e o HTLV-2a (variante -2c). Foram detectadas assinaturas moleculares nos isolados do Brasil. Detectou-se o genótipo brasileiro taxA para o HTLV-1 e para o HTLV-2 a Tax longa, a qual é característica da variante HTLV-2c. Houve também a confirmação da troca de aminoácido S1909P no env dos HTLV-2. Especulou-se sobre duas entradas do HTLV-1 no Brasil e sobre a disseminação do HTLV-2c em grupos distintos quanto ao comportamento de risco e região geográfica. O estabelecimento de métodos laboratoriais otimizados para isolados brasileiros de HTLV-1 e HTLV-2 possibilitou melhor compreensão da diversidade genômica e da origem e disseminação dos HTLVs em populações coinfectadas pelo HIV no Brasil. / Brazil is considered the country with the major absolute number of individuals infected with human T-lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV-1 and HTLV-2), close to 2,500,000; moreover, it is also considered epidemic for HIV/Aids =and therefore HIV/HTLV coinfection is frequent in the country. This study aimed at sequencing the LTR, env and tax regions of the proviral genome of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 isolated from blood samples obtained from patients coinfected with HIV-1 from Londrina and vicinities (n=34) and São Paulo (n=20), in order to perform the molecular characterization and viral subtyping. For sequences analysis, several bioinformatics tools were employed: Sequencher 4.7, BLAST, Genotyping-NCBI, Subtyping-REGA, BioEdit 7.0.5.3, ClustalW, GenBank, PAUP 4.0.b10, Modeltest 3.7, TreeView 1.6.6 and MEGA4. The results confirmed as prevalent the HTLV-1a subtype, the Transcontinental subgroup A, and the HTLV-2a (variant-2c). Molecular signatures characteristic of Brazilian isolates were detected: taxA Brazilian genotype in HTLV-1, and the long Tax which is characteristic of the HTLV-2c in HTLV-2. Also, it was confirmed the S1909P amino acid change in the env region of HTLV-2c. It was speculated on two entrances of HTLV-1 in Brazil, and on the spread of HTLV-2c in distinct groups related to risk factors and geographic region. The establishment and optimization of laboratory methods performed in this study allowed to get a better understanding on HTLVs genomic diversity, and to give insights on the origin and spread of HTLVs in populations coinfected with HIV in Brazil.
