RESUMO

The NADPH phagocytic oxidase system plays a crucial role in host defense against intracellular microorganisms, including mycobacteria. Mutations affecting subunits of this system result in Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD). The CYEE gene, located in the X chromosome, encodes gp91 phox, and mutations on this gene account for more than 60% of CGD cases. Almost 40 years after, the first of 13 different genetic disorders associated with Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Diseases (MSMD), was identified. The genes responsible for MSMD are part of the IL12/23-IFN-? axis. Based on the fact that both the diseases predispose to mycobacterial infections and that IFN-? is an important activator of CYBB gene, the authors aimed to describe clinical aspects of Latin American CGD patients and investigate ifthe NADPH oxidase system function and gp91phox expression would be affected in patients with defects in the IL-12/23-IFN-? axis. Regarding clinical features familial history of recurrent and sever infections, as well as adverse reactions to BCG vaccine, lymphadenopathy, skin and profound abscess were associated to DGC when compared to clinical features of non-CGD evaluated in the laboratory. Defects of IFNGR1 and IFNGR2 and IL12RB1 may present diminish.ed or abolished gene expression of CYBB and activity of NADPH oxidase system ate levels of a CGD patient. Based on that, we can conclude that IFN- ? and its receptor are essential for development and activation 9f NADPH oxidase system. In addition, patients who present an impaired superoxide release and/or failure on expressing gp91phox should also be evaluated for IL12/23-IFN-? axis affecting secondarily the NADPH oxidase system.
