Modificações nucleares em células parasitadas pelo Trypanosoma cruzi em chagásicos crônicos

Abstract: Através do estudo da musculatura-lisa da parede da veia central das supra-renais de chagásicos crônicos foram identificados núcleos em 18 dentre 40 células parasitadaspelo Trypanosoma cruzi. Com o auxílio de uma ocular micrométrica foram tomados dois diâmetros de cada ninho e núcleo, obtendo-se suas médias e desvios padrões (25,7 jum ± 17,2 e 12 p-m ± 5,3 e 7,5 fim ± 2,82 para diâmetros dos ninhos e dos núcleos para célu las mononucleadas e binucleadas respectivamente). A relação diâmetro do núcleo/diâ metro d… Show more

“…The presence of chronic inflammation could be the explanation for this response, particularly in the myocardium, or possibly the persistence of T. cruzi or its antigens in the spleen, as has already been proven in other organs. [16][17][18][19] This phenomenon would presumably imply the formation and recirculation of leukocytes, which would contribute to the increase in area of the lymphoid follicles.…”

“…The mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of Chagas disease are complex and multifactorial, 3,4 with immune responses to parasite antigens, 5,6 autoimmune processes, 7-9 and the inflammatory response accompanying these reactions being likely to be involved. [10][11][12][13][14][15] A humoral autoimmune response due to the molecular mimicry displayed by some parasite proteins is one of the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of Chagas disease.…”

“…Uma maior porcentagem de fibras colágenas foi verificada no parênquima esplênico dos idosos acometidos por doenças cardiovasculares. Nas alterações morfológicas da cardiopatia hipertensiva e chagásica, por exemplo, destaca-se o acúmulo progressivo de tecido conjuntivo e deposição excessiva de colágeno no miocárdio 25,26 . Os achados do presente trabalho levantam a hipótese de que pacientes com lesões cardíacas apresentam maior depósito de fibras colágenas no parênquima de outros órgãos, como o baço.…”
