BACKGROUND: Paracoccidioidomycosis, a chronic granulomatous fungal disease caused
by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast cells affects mainly rural workers, albeit
recently cases in immunosuppressed individuals has been reported. Protective
immune response against P. brasiliensis is dependent on the activity of helper T
cells especially IFN-?-producing Th1 cells. It has been proposed that
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is able to modulate the immune response towards a
permissive state and that the thymus plays a major role in it. METHODS: In this
paper, we show that acute infection of BALB/c mice with P. brasiliensis virulent
isolate (Pb18) might cause alterations in the thymic environment as well as the
prohibitive TCR-expressing T cells in the spleens. RESULTS: After seven days of
infection, we found yeast cells on the thymic stroma, the thymic epithelial cells
(TEC) were altered regarding their spatial-orientation and inflammatory mediators
gene expression was increased. Likewise, thymocytes (differentiating T cells)
presented higher migratory ability in ex vivo experiments. Notwithstanding, P.
brasiliensis-infected mice showed an increased frequency of prohibitive
TCR-expressing T cells in the spleens, suggesting that the selection processes
that occur in the thymus may be compromised during the acute infection.
CONCLUSION: In this paper, for the first time, we show that acute infection with
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast cells promotes thymic alterations leading to
a defective repertoire of peripheral T cells. The data presented here may
represent new mechanisms by which P. brasiliensis subverts the immune response
towards the chronic infection observed in humans.
