Abstract | The antiinflammatory cytokine transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) plays an important role in Chagas disease, a parasitic infection caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. In the present study, we show that SB-431542, an inhibitor of the TGF-beta type I receptor (ALK5), inhibits T. cruzi-induced activation of the TGF-beta pathway in epithelial cells and in cardiomyocytes. Further, we demonstrate that addition of SB-431542 greatly reduces cardiomyocyte invasion by T. cruzi. Finally, SB-431542 treatment significantly reduces the number of parasites per infected cell and trypomastigote differentiation and release. Taken together, these data further confirm the major role of the TGF-beta signaling pathway in both T. cruzi infection and T. cruzi cell cycle completion. Our present data demonstrate that small inhibitors of the TGF-beta signaling pathway might be potential pharmacological tools for the treatment of Chagas disease. | pt_BR |
