    StreptInCor, a Group A Streptococcal Adsorbed Vaccine: Evaluation of Repeated Intramuscular Dose Toxicity Testing in Rats
    (2021) SA-ROCHA, Luiz Carlos de; DEMARCHI, Lea Maria Macruz Ferreira; POSTOL, Edilberto; SAMPAIO, Roney Orismar; ALENCAR, Raquel Elaine de; KALIL, Jorge; GUILHERME, Luiza
    Streptococcus pyogenes infections continue to be a worldwide public health problem, causing various diseases in humans, with rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease being the most harmful manifestations. Impetigo and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis are also important sequelae of skin infections. We have developed a candidate vaccine epitope (StreptInCor) that presents promising results in diverse animal models. To assess whether the StreptInCor alum-adsorbed vaccine could induce undesirable effects, a certified independent company conducted a repeated intramuscular dose toxicity evaluation in Wistar rats, a choice model for toxicity studies. We did not observe significant alterations in clinical, hematological, biochemical, anatomical, or histopathological parameters due to vaccine administration, even when the animals received the highest dose. In conclusion, repeated intramuscular doses did not show signs of macroscopic or other significant changes in the clinical or histopathological parameters, indicating that StreptInCor can be considered a safe candidate vaccine.

    IgE and IgG4 Epitopes of Dermatophagoides and Blomia Allergens before and after Sublingual Immunotherapy
    (2023) FIGO, Daniele Danella; MACEDO, Priscilla Rios Cordeiro; GADERMAIER, Gabriele; REMUZGO, Cesar; CASTRO, Fabio Fernandes Morato; KALIL, Jorge; GALVAO, Clovis Eduardo Santos; SANTOS, Keity Souza
    Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is used worldwide to treat house dust mites (HDM) allergy. Epitope specific immunotherapy with peptide vaccines is used far less, but it is of great interest in the treatment of allergic reactions, as it precludes the drawbacks of allergen extracts. The ideal peptide candidates would bind to IgG, blocking IgE-binding. To better elucidate IgE and IgG4 epitope profiles during SLIT, sequences of main allergens, Der p 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 23 and Blo t 5, 6, 12, 13, were included in a 15-mer peptide microarray and tested against pooled sera from 10 patients pre- and post-1-year SLIT. All allergens were recognized to some extent by at least one antibody isotype and peptide diversity was higher post-1-year SLIT for both antibodies. IgE recognition diversity varied among allergens and timepoints without a clear tendency. Der p 10, a minor allergen in temperate regions, was the molecule with more IgE-peptides and might be a major allergen in populations highly exposed to helminths and cockroaches, such as Brazil. SLIT-induced IgG4 epitopes were directed against several, but not all, IgE-binding regions. We selected a set of peptides that recognized only IgG4 or were able to induce increased ratios of IgG4:IgE after one year of treatment and might be potential targets for vaccines.

    Rheumatic heart disease: molecules involved in valve tissue inflammation leading to the autoimmune process and anti-S. pyogenes vaccine
    (2013) GUILHERME, Luiza; KALIL, Jorge
    The major events leading to both rheumatic fever (RE) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) are reviewed. Several genes are involved in the development of RE and RHD. The inflammatory process that results from S. pyogenes infection involves the activation of several molecules such as VCAM and ICAM, which play a role in the migration of leukocytes to the heart, particularly to the valves. Specific chemokines, such as CXCL3/MIP1a as well as CCL1/I-309 and CXCL9/Mig, attractT cells to the myocardium and valves, respectively. The autoimmune reactions are mediated by both the B- and T-cell responses that begin at the periphery, followed by the migration of T cell clones to the heart and the infiltration of heart lesions in RHD patients. These cells recognize streptococcal antigens and humantissue proteins. Molecular mimicry between streptococcal M protein and human proteins has been proposed as the triggering factor leading to autoimmunity in RE and RHD. The production of cytokines from peripheral and heart-infiltrating mononuclear cells suggests that T helper 1 and Th17 cytokines are the mediators of RHD heart lesions. The low numbers of 1154 producing cells in the valvular tissue might contribute to the maintenance and progression of the valve lesions. The identification of a vaccine epitope opens a perspective of development of an effective and safe vaccine to prevent S. pyogenes infections, consequently RE and RHD.

    Thymopoiesis in Pre- and Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
    (2018) ROCHA, Luis Klaus A. da; BARROS, Samar Freschi de; BANDEIRA, Francine; BOLLINI, Alexia; TESTA, Lucia Helena de A.; SIMIONE, Anderson Joao; SOUZA, Marina de O. e; ZANETTI, Lilian P.; OLIVEIRA, Leila Cibele S. de; SANTOS, Ana Claudia F. dos; SOUZA, Mair Pedro de; COLTURADO, Vergilio Antonio R.; KALIL, Jorge; MACHADO, Clarisse M.; GUILHERME, Luiza
    Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an important therapeutic option for some hematological diseases. However, patients who undergo HSCT acquire a state of immunodeficiency that causes significant mortality. Reconstitution of thymic function is needed to support the immune system. One way to measure thymic function is through T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) quantification. TRECs are generated by T-cell receptor gene rearrangements during T-cell maturation in the thymus and represent a reliable marker for thymic output. In this study, we aimed to assess aging and malignant hematological diseases as two important factors that may influence thymic output before HSCT. We observed that patients before HSCT presented signal joint TREC (sjTREC) numbers lower than 606.55 copies/mu g DNA (low values) compared with healthy individuals, with an odds ratio (OR) of 12.88 [95% confidence interval (CI): 5.26-31.53; p < 0.001]. Our results showed that a group of older individuals (>= 50 years old), comprising both healthy individuals and patients, had an OR of 10.07 (95% CI: 2.80-36.20) for low sjTREC values compared with younger individuals (<= 24 years old; p < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis confirmed that both older age (>= 50 years old) and malignant hematological diseases and their treatments were important and independent risk factors related to thymic function impairment (p < 0.001). The median sjTREC value for patients of all ages was significantly lower than the sjTREC median for the subgroup of older healthy individuals (>= 50 years old; p < 0.001). These data suggested that patients before HSCT and healthy individuals exhibited age-dependent thymic impairment, and that prior treatment for hematological diseases may exacerbate aging-related deterioration of natural thymic function. Furthermore, we analyzed these patients 9 months post-HSCT and compared patients who underwent autologous HSCT with those who underwent allogeneic HSCT. Both groups of patients achieved sjTREC copy numbers similar to those of healthy individuals. We did not find a close relationship between impaired thymic function prior to HSCT and worse thymic recovery after HSCT.

    Systemic amyloidosis journey from diagnosis to outcomes: a twelve-year real-world experience of a single center in a middle-income country
    (2022) SZOR, Roberta Shcolnik; FERNANDES, Fabio; LINO, Angelina Maria Martins; MENDONCA, Leonardo Oliveira; SEGURO, Fernanda Salles; FEITOSA, Valkercyo Araujo; CASTELLI, Jussara Bianchi; JORGE, Lecticia Barbosa; ALVES, Lucas Bassolli de Oliveira; NEVES, Precil Diego Miranda de Menezes; SOUZA, Evandro de Oliveira; CAVALCANTE, Livia Barreira; MALHEIROS, Denise; KALIL, Jorge; MARTINEZ, Gracia Aparecida; ROCHA, Vanderson
    Background: Systemic amyloidosis is caused by the deposition of misfolded protein aggregates in tissues, leading to progressive organ dysfunction and death. Epidemiological studies originate predominantly from high-income countries, with few data from Latin America. Due to the non-specific clinical manifestations, diagnosing amyloidosis is often challenging and patients experience a long journey and delay in diagnosis. This study aimed to assess clinical and laboratory characteristics, the diagnostic journey, and outcomes of patients with biopsy-proven systemic amyloidosis diagnosed between 2009 and 2020 at a university referral center in a middle-income Latin American country. Patients' medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Results: One hundred and forty-three patients were included. The median age at diagnosis was 60 years and 54% were male. Until the diagnosis, most of the patients (52%) were seen by at least 3 specialists, the main ones being: general practitioners (57%), nephrologists (45%), and cardiologists (38%). The most common manifestations were renal (54%) and cardiac (41%) disorders, and cachexia was seen in 36% of patients. In 72% of the cases, & GE; 2 biopsies were required until the final diagnosis. The median time from symptoms onset to diagnosis was 10.9 months, and most patients (75%) had & GE; 2 organs involved. The following subtypes were identified: AL (68%), ATTR (13%), AA (8%), AFib (4%), and inconclusive (7%). Median OS was 74.3 months in the non-AL subgroup and 18.5 months in AL. Among AL patients, those with advanced cardiac stage had the worst outcome [median OS 8.6 months versus 52.3 for stage III versus I-II, respectively (p < 0.001)]. AL subtype, cardiac involvement, and ECOG & GE; 2 were identified as independent risk factors for reduced survival. Conclusions: Systemic amyloidosis is still an underdiagnosed condition and the delay in its recognition leads to poor outcomes. Medical education, better diagnostic tools, improvement in access to therapies, and establishment of referral centers may improve patient outcomes in middle-income countries.

    A brazilian nationwide multicenter study on deficiency of deaminase-2 (DADA2)
    (2023) MELO, Adriana; CARVALHO, Luciana Martins de; FERRIANI, Virginia Paes Leme; CAVALCANTI, Andre; APPENZELLER, Simone; OLIVEIRA, Valeria Rossato; NETO, Herberto Chong; ROSARIO, Nelson Augusto; POSWAR, Fabiano de Oliveira; GUIMARAES, Matheus Xavier; KOKRON, Cristina Maria; MAIA, Rayana Elias; SILVA, Guilherme Diogo; KELLER, Gabriel; FERREIRA, Mauricio Domingues; VASCONCELOS, Dewton Moraes; TOLEDO-BARROS, Myrthes Anna Maragna; BARROS, Samar Freschi; NETO, Nilton Salles Rosa; KRIEGER, Marta Helena; KALIL, Jorge; MENDONCA, Leonardo Oliveira
    IntroductionThe deficiency of ADA2 (DADA2) is a rare autoinflammatory disease provoked by mutations in the ADA2 gene inherited in a recessive fashion. Up to this moment there is no consensus for the treatment of DADA2 and anti-TNF is the therapy of choice for chronic management whereas bone marrow transplantation is considered for refractory or severe phenotypes. Data from Brazil is scarce and this multicentric study reports 18 patients with DADA2 from Brazil.Patients and methodsThis is a multicentric study proposed by the Center for Rare and Immunological Disorders of the Hospital 9 de Julho - DASA, Sao Paulo - Brazil. Patients of any age with a confirmed diagnosis of DADA2 were eligible for this project and data on clinical, laboratory, genetics and treatment were collected.ResultsEighteen patients from 10 different centers are reported here. All patients had disease onset at the pediatric age (median of 5 years) and most of them from the state of Sao Paulo. Vasculopathy with recurrent stroke was the most common phenotype but atypical phenotypes compatible with ALPS-like and Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) was also found. All patients carried pathogenic mutations in the ADA2 gene. Acute management of vasculitis was not satisfactory with steroids in many patients and all those who used anti-TNF had favorable responses.ConclusionThe low number of patients diagnosed with DADA2 in Brazil reinforces the need for disease awareness for this condition. Moreover, the absence of guidelines for diagnosis and management is also necessary (t).
