- W4285036019 abstract "Paracoccidioides spp. are the etiological agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, a disease that causes skin lesions and affect the lungs and other organs. The current management of the disease is long and has several side effects that often lead the patient to give up the treatment, sequelae and even death. The search for new forms of treatment that minimize these drawbacks is very important. Thus, natural compounds are targets of great interest. Curcumin is one of the main components of the tubers of Curcuma longa, presenting medicinal effects well described in the literature, including the antifungal effect on Paracocidioides brasiliensis. Nevertheless, the mechanisms related to the antifungal effect of such compound are still unknown, so the objective of the present research is to understand what changes occur in the metabolism of P. brasiliensis after exposure to curcumin and to identify the main targets of the compound. Proteomic analysis as based on nanoUPLC-MS analysis and the functional classification of the identified proteins. The main metabolic processes that were being regulated were biologically validated through assays such as fluorescence microscopy, EPR and phagocytosis. Proteomic analysis revealed that curcumin regulates several metabolic processes of the fungus, including important pathways for energy production, such as the glycolytic pathway, beta oxidation and the glyoxylate cycle. Protein synthesis was down-regulated in fungi exposed to curcumin. The electron transport chain and the tricarboxylic acid cycle were also down-regulated, indicating that both the mitochondrial membrane and the mitochondrial activity were compromised. Plasma membrane and cell wall structure were altered following exposure to the compound. The fungus' ability to survive the phagocytosis process by alveolar macrophages was reduced. Thus, curcumin interferes with several metabolic pathways in the fungus that causes paracoccidioidomycosis. The challenges presented by the current treatment of paracoccidioidomycosis often contributing to patients' withdrawal from treatment, leading to sequelae or even death. Thus, the search for new treatment options against this disease is growing. The discovery that curcumin is active against Paracoccidioides was previously reported by our study group. Here, we clarify how the compound acts on the fungus causing its growth inhibition and decreased viability. Understanding the mechanisms of action of curcumin on P. brasiliensis elucidates how we can seek new alternatives and which metabolic pathways and molecular targets we should focus on in this incessant search to bring the patient a treatment with fewer adverse effects." @default.
