O BCG possui características que o tornam um promissor vetor para a produção de vacinas recombinantes multivalentes. Modificações genéticas podem aprimorar as propriedades imunogênicas e adjuvantes do BCG. Uma dessas modificações permite que o BCG escape do endossoma de células apresentadoras de antígenos. Desta maneira, os imunógenos de BCG acessam vias de apresentação cruzada de antígenos, ampliando a sua imunogenicidade. Este trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver uma cepa de BCG ΔleuD expressando listeriolisina (Hly) de Listeria monocytogenes e avaliar seu potencial citotóxico na linhagem celular 5637 de câncer de bexiga. Para isso, o BCG ΔleuD foi transformado com o plasmídeo recombinante pUP410 contendo o gene hly. A cepa obtida demonstrou um nível de citotoxicidade similar à cepa BCG Pasteur parental, quando avaliada na linhagem celular de câncer de bexiga. Esta cepa necessita ser avaliada em outras linhagens de câncer para comprovar seu possível efeito citotóxico potencializado. / Mycobacterium bovis BCG has been used worldwide as a vaccine against tuberculosis for over fifty years with an outstanding safety record. BCG has features that make it a promising vector for production of recombinant multivalent vaccines. Genetic modification can enhance the adjuvant and immunogenic properties of BCG. One of these modifications would allow BCG to escape the endosome of antigen presenting cells. Therefore, theimmunogens of BCG can access antigens cross priming routes, increasing their immunogenicity. The aim of this work was to develop a strain of BCG ΔleuD expressing listeriolysin (Hly) of Listeria monocytogenes and evaluate its cytotoxic potential on cell line 5637 of bladder cancer. Thus, BCG ΔleuD was transformed with recombinant plasmid pUP410 containing the hly coding sequence. The recombinant BCG strain expressing listeriolysin showed a similar level of cytotoxicity when compared to the parental BCG Pasteur. This strain needs to be evaluated in other cancer lines in order to confirm its possible potentiated cytotoxic effect.
