Title:A new model for studyng the effects of Mycobacterium leprae on Schwann cell and neuron interactions ..-
Source:s.l; s.n; 2002. 14 p. ilus, tab.
Abstract:Millions of patients with leprosy suffer from nerve damage resulting in disabilities as a consequence of Mycobacterium leprae infection. However, mechanisms of nerve damage have not been elucidated because of the lack of a model that maintains M. leprae viability and mimics disease conditions. A model was developed using viable M. leprae, rat Schwann cells, and Schwann cell-neuron cocultures incubated at 33 degrees C. M. leprae retained 56 per cente viability in Schwann cells for 3 weeks after infection at 33 degrees C, compared with 3.6 per cente viability at 37 degrees C. Infected Schwann cells had altered morphology and expression of genes encoding cellular adhesion molecules at 33 degrees C but were capable of interacting with and myelinating neurons. Cocultures, infected after myelination occurred, showed no morphological changes in myelin architecture after 1 month of incubation at 33 degrees C, and M. leprae retained 53 per cente viability. This article describes a new model for studying the effects of M. leprae on Schwann cells. (AU).

Title:Expression of toll-like receptor 2 on human Schwann cells: a mechanism of nerve damage in leprosy ..-
Source:s.l; s.n; 2003. 7 p. ilus, graf.
Abstract:Nerve damage is a clinical hallmark of leprosy and a major source of patient morbidity. We investigated the possibility that human Schwann cells are susceptible to cell death through the activation of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), a pattern recognition receptor of the innate immune system. TLR2 was detected on the surface of human Schwann cell line ST88-14 and on cultured primary human Schwann cells. Activation of the human Schwann cell line and primary human Schwann cell cultures with a TLR2 agonist, a synthetic lipopeptide comprising the N-terminal portion of the putative Mycobacterium leprae 19-kDa lipoprotein, triggered an increase in the number of apoptotic cells. The lipopeptide-induced apoptosis of Schwann cells could be blocked by an anti-TLR2 monoclonal antibody. Schwann cells in skin lesions from leprosy patients were found to express TLR2. It was possible to identify in the lesions Schwann cells that had undergone apoptosis in vivo. The ability of M. leprae ligands to induce the apoptosis of Schwann cells through TLR2 provides a mechanism by which activation of the innate immune response contributes to nerve injury in leprosy.
