However, a few is known about the Central Nervous System (CNS) response against amazonic rhabdovirus. The virus Itacaiunas e Curionopolis were classified preliminary as members of the Rhabdoviridae family. It was suggested for these virus to be included in a new genus, Bracorhabdovirus. They are neurotropic virus and little is known about the inflammatory response of the CNS against these virus. This study examined aspects of the immune response of newborn mice CNS resident cell after experimental infection by Itacaiunas and Curionopolis virus, in vivo and in vitro. To achieve these goals, histochemical and immunohistochemical techniques were used to detect activated microglia and astrocytes, respectively, in sections of the brains of infected mice. The quantification of these cells were performed in hippocampal regions using stereological techniques. Furthermore, was investigated the expression of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines produced by CNS cells in primary cultures infected with virus Itacaiunas and Curionopolis by using enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) from supernatants co-cultures enriched of microglia/neurons and astrocytes/neurons. The expression of nitric oxide was also analyzed by using cytochemical reagent DAF-FM diacetate (4-amino-5-methylamine-2,7-difluorofluorescein-diacetate). As a result, age matched control animals of each group did not present activated microglia or astrocytosis, as well as, both Curionopolis and Itacaiunas infected subjects early after the inoculation (2d.a.i. and 4d.a.i respectively). However at 5th d.a.i., Curionopolis infections significant increase in the number of activated microglias and reactive astrocytes were detected whereas at the 7th d.a.i. after Itacaiunas infection only minimal activation of microglia and reactive astrocytosis was detected. The results from immunoassays showed great production of IL-12p40 in cultures of CNS cells infected with both virus, 48 and 96 hours after infection (h.a.i.). Low levels of TGF-β and IL-10 were detected after 48 hours of infection with both virus, however, was observed increased expression of this cytokines after 96 hours. CNS cell cultures infected with Curionopolis virus 48h.p.i. and Itacaiunas virus 48 and 96h.a.i. showed a slight production of nitric oxide, but it was increased in cultures infected with Curionopolis virus 96h.a.i. These results suggest that the proinflammatory response is dominant in both virus, however, it seems that the anti-inflammatory cytokines try to modulate the inflammatory response of the late days pos-inoculation.Acesso AbertoSistema nervoso centralVírus da hidrofobiaVírus ItacaiunasVírus CurionopolisImunidadeDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::MICROBIOLOGIA::BIOLOGIA E FISIOLOGIA DOS MICROORGANISMOS::VIROLOGIACNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::MORFOLOGIA::CITOLOGIA E BIOLOGIA CELULAR
