Identificação e caracterização de microRNAs e lncRNAs que regulam e/ou são regulados durante a infecção por patógenos bacterianos

Estudo das interações hospedeiro-patógeno bacteriano usando tecnologias de high-throughput screening e RNA-seq

Visão Geral

Embora a grande maioria das bactérias sejam inócua ou mesmo benéficas para os hospedeiros, as infecções por bactérias patogénicas são responsáveis ​​por uma variedade de doenças que, apesar dos antibióticos existentes, continuam a ameaçar a saúde pública global.

As infecções bacterianas são caracterizadas por uma interacção complexa entre patógenos e células hospedeiras, levando a alterações de múltiplas funções das células hospedeiras. No entanto, o impacto da infecções bacterianas no metabolismo do RNA do hospedeiro, incluindo a expressão e função de RNAs não codificantes (ncRNA), bem como o impacto recíproco do metabolismo do RNA do hospedeiro no ciclo de vida dos patógenos bacterianos, permanecem em grande parte inexplorados. Um metabolismo de RNA adequado é essencial para várias funções da célula hospedeira e, consequentemente, não é surpreendente que contribua para uma defesa adequada contra a infecção e que, por outro lado, os patógenos tenham desenvolvido mecanismos sofisticados para subverter essas vias para seu próprio benefício.

O objetivo principal do laboratório é identificar ncRNAs do hospedeiro (especificamente, microRNAs e ncRNAs longos) que regulam e/ou são regulados durante a infecção por patógenos bacterianos humanos (por exemplo, Salmonella Typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, Campylobacter jejuni e Staphylococcus aureus) e caracterizar os mecanismos moleculares subjacentes à sua função. 

Para alcançar este objetivo, são aplicadas abordagens sistemáticas, incluindo screenings de ganho e perda de função usando bibliotecas de microRNAs genome-wide e profiling de RNAs não codificantes por RNA-seq.

A identificação de ncRNAs será instrumental para o desenvolvimento de novas abordagens terapêuticas contra bactérias patogénicas, quer através da modulação de ncRNAs, quer dos seus alvos.
