Abstract	BASTOS, G. M. The role of HspX protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis in regulation of genes involved with morphological adaptation to mycobacterial dormancy, with Mycobacterium smegmatis as model organism. 2013. The maintenance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection latent (TBIL) may be attributed to its ability to persist for years in the host in a non-replicative state (dormant). The HspX protein from M. tuberculosis, induced under hypoxic, is strongly associated with maintaining the bacillus viability in TBIL. This study aims to determine if HspX overexpression chances the expression of genes involved in the synthesis of cell wall components, DNA replication and cell division of bacilli, as well as, the expression of genes involved in innate immune response of macrophages infected. The gene hspX was amplified by PCR from DNA of M. tuberculosis H37Rv, and cloned into the expression vector pFPCA1GFP. The HspX was expressed in M. smegmatis mc2155 and the recombinant protein was confirmed by Western blot. The bacterias expressing HspX were used for gene expression analysis both in bacteria and in infected macrophages by RT-PCRq. In bacterias expressing HspX, it was observed a reduction in expression of genes involved in DNA replication and cell division, and with cells more filamentous and smaller colonies, compared with controls. In addition, in macrophages infected with bacillus expressing HspX, there was an increase in both mRNA expression and secretion of IL-1b, an important cytokine for granuloma stability, and a reduction in expression of IRGM, an autophagic gene, important for host defense mechanism against intracellular bacteria. Together, these results suggest a direct or indirect contribution of HspX protein for metabolic and morphological adaptation of dormant bacteria in TBIL, and for the innate immune response in infected macrophages, improving the bacteria intracellular viability.
