- W1721330486 abstract "Event Abstract Back to Event Role of arachidonic acid metabolites in Trypanosoma cruzi infection Néstor A. Guerrero1, Manuel Fresno1 and Núria Gironès1* 1 Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa, CSIC-UAM, Spain Cardiac inflammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. Lipid mediators derived from arachidonic acid (AA), like prostaglandins and leukotrienes, are considered regulators of homeostasis and inflammation. These molecules are produced by a biosynthetic pathway controlled by enzymes as cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases. The role of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in immunosuppression during the acute phase of T. cruzi infection has been described using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are inhibitors of this enzyme. In this study, we first investigated the expression of enzymes involved in AA metabolism during T. cruzi infection. Susceptible and non-susceptible mouse models of infection were used to further analyze the role of lipid mediators in T. cruzi infection. Our results confirm the expression of several of these enzymes in T. cruzi-infected heart, in particular COX-2. CD68+ heart-infiltrating macrophages were the major cell type expressing COX-2. CD11b+ heart-infiltrating myeloid cells were purified and they were able to produce prostaglandins PGE2 and PGF2α. Studies using gene-deficient mouse models indicated that regulation of COX-2 and PGE2, through PGE2 receptor 2 signaling, was in part responsible of cardiac inflammation in T. cruzi infection. The key role of lipid mediators in Chagas disease inflammation and the availability of drugs that inhibit their synthesis and their receptors could be useful for the treatment of this neglected disease.
