Introduction: Human infection with T. cruzi leads to Chagas disease (CD), which presents as several different clinical phenotypes ranging from an asymptomatic form to a severe dilated cardiomyopathy. Host‟s immune system plays a critical role in parasitemia control; however, exacerbated cellular response can cause tissue damage. Interactions between the immune, nervous and endocrine systems play an important role in modulating host susceptibility and resistance to inflammatory and infectious diseases through the homeostasis maintenance of cellular response. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide with a broad distribution in the body and exerts a role as a modulator of the homeostasis of the immune system through its receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2. Data concerning to VIP or its receptors function in the scenario of CD are lacking in literature. Considering this, and the variation in clinical forms of CD, we hypothesized that an aberrant response to VIP could be related to development of different clinical outcomes and associated to VPAC polymorphisms. Thus, the present study aims to analyze if gene polymorphisms of VIP receptors, may be associated with different clinical forms of CD. Methods and Results: To assess possible associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms of genes encoding VPAC1 and VPAC2 and the development of CD, DNA was obtained from oral swabs of a cohort of 144 individuals (57 patients with dilated cardiomiopathy, 51 patients with indeterminate form and 51 non infected individuals) and the evaluation of polymorphisms are being performed using Real Time PCR. Statistical analysis of data was performed using the chi(2) likelihood ratio test. The study groups were tested for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium comparing the expected with the observed genotypes frequencies for VPAC1 SNP rs342511 (2234 C/T) (X 2 =0,0079; p=0,9292). Our data showed that patients carrying the T variant for VPAC1 have four times more chance of developing the indeterminate form as compared to the cardiac form (X 2 = 5, 179; OR= 4,267; p=0,023; IC=0,336- 2,976).
Conclusions: We observed a significant association with VPAC1 and the indeterminate form of CD. The polymorphism observed is localized at the 3´- UTR that may contain regulatory sequences related to the stability of the mRNA, leading to alteration of VPAC1 expression in indeterminate individuals. Studies regarding cellular VPAC1 expression must be performed. Financial support: CAPES, INCT-DT, CNPQ, FAPEMIG.
