Abstract: La neurocisticercosis (NCC) es una enfermedad causada por la presencia de cisticercos (larvas) de Taenia solium en el cerebro por la ingesta de huevos de este helminto parásito (García et al., 2020). La NCC provoca sintomatología neurológica como epilepsia, presión intracraneal e incluso la muerte (Son et al., 2019). Los cisticercos pueden mantenerse viables por varios meses o años sin producir inflamación ni síntomas (Gutierrez-Loli et al., 2017). No se ha logrado explicar qué le permite a la larva viable de T. solium evadir la respuesta inmune de su hospedero. T. solium libera productos-derivados-de-helmintos (HDP por sus siglas en inglés), entre ellos RNA y proteínas, a través de vesículas extracelulares (EVs) (Zakeri et al., 2018). Los HDP incluyen microRNAs (miRNAs), RNAs regulatorios muy cortos con una función conservada en la regulación postranscripcional en eucariotas (Paul et al., 2020). Su presencia en las EVs de T. solium sugiere un papel regulatorio sobre el hospedero. Un análisis de predicción de blancos de miR-10-5p y let-7-5p, los miRNAs más abundantes identificados en el cisticerco de T. solium, demostró que están asociados con rutas inmunorreguladoras de mamíferos (Landa et al., 2019). Este y otros estudios sobre miRNAs en helmintos parásitos respaldan la transferencia interespecífica de RNA como control de la respuesta inmune del hospedero. Por ello se plantea que los miRNAs secretados por el cisticerco viable de T. solium alojado en el cerebro podrían modular la respuesta inmune del hospedero. Este estudio propone (1) identificar miRNAs presentes en EVs derivadas de T. solium; (2) realizar ensayos in vitro para comprobar el efecto de las EVs sobre las microglías, 1 propias del sistema nervioso central, y otras células inmunes; (3) comparar las secuencias de miRNAs con datos transcriptómicos de líneas celulares de cerebro humano para encontrar posibles moléculas blanco y (4) evaluar in vivo la inmunoregulación de los miRNAs candidatos utilizando cerdos, el hospedero natural de T. solium.
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a disease caused by the presence of cysticerci (larvae) of Taenia solium in the brain due to the ingestion of eggs of this parasitic helminth (García et al., 2020). NCC causes neurological symptoms such as epilepsy and even death (Son et al., 2019). Cysticerci can remain viable for several months or years without producing inflammation or symptoms (Gutierrez-Loli et al., 2017). It has not been possible to explain what allows the viable larva of T. solium to evade the immune response of its host. T. solium releases helminth-derived-products (HDP), including RNA and protein, through extracellular vesicles (EVs) (Zakeri et al., 2018). HDPs include microRNAs (miRNAs), very short regulatory RNAs with a conserved role in post-transcriptional regulation of eukaryotes (Paul et al., 2020). Its presence in the EVs of T. solium suggests a regulatory role on the host. A target prediction analysis of miR-10-5p and let-7-5p, the most abundant miRNAs identified in the cysticerci of T. solium, showed that they are associated with mammalian immunoregulatory pathways (Landa et al., 2019). This and other studies on miRNAs in 2 parasitic helminths support interspecific RNA transfer as a control of the host immune response. For this reason, it is suggested that the miRNAs secreted by the viable cysticercus of T. solium housed in the brain could modulate the host's immune response. This study proposes (1) to identify miRNAs present in EVs derived from T. solium; (2) carry out in vitro tests to check the effect of EVs on microglia, typical of the central nervous system, and other immune cells; (3) compare miRNA sequences with transcriptomic data from human brain cell lines to find possible target molecules and (4) evaluate in vivo immunoregulation of candidate miRNAs using pigs, the natural host of T. solium.
