Resumo
As consequências do envenenamento por chumbo são diversas e importantes na saúde
humana uma vez que este metal pesado pode interagir com muitos sistemas orgânicos,
afetando principalmente o sistema nervoso, com implicações graves e irreversı́veis do
neurodesenvolvimento, consolidação de memória e processos de aprendizagem em crianças.
Sua interação com componentes celulares dá-se de muitas formas, afetando proteı́nas de
ligação a ı́ons, proteı́nas de sinalização de transdução, canais iônicos transmembrana e
fatores de transcrição. Apesar da sintomatologia da intoxicação por chumbo já ser bastante
conhecida, pouco ainda se sabe sobre seus efeitos sistêmicos e sobre o seu impacto global
na modulação da transcrição de células neuronais. A fim de investigar tais efeitos sob uma
ótica de biologia de sistemas, aplicamos o pipeline do pacote transcriptogramer R/Biocon-
ductor com a finalidade de avaliar o perfil transcricional de células progenitoras neurais
humanas (NPCs) tratadas com acetato de chumbo 30µM por 26 dias. Dotado de um
método não supervisionado, o algoritmo do transcriptogramer é projetado para identificar,
em experimentos do tipo caso-controle, grupos de genes funcionalmente associados e difer-
encialmente expressos. Tal pipeline foi capaz de identificar onze clusteres diferencialmente
expressos entre os dias 3 e 11 do tratamento com chumbo. Destes, sete apresentaram
uma regulação negativa de diversos sistemas celulares envolvidos na diferenciação celular,
como organização do citoesqueleto, RNA e biossı́ntese de proteı́nas, caracterizados por
redes grandes e fortemente conectadas. Os quatro clusteres positivamente regulados
apresentaram nós esparsos e pouco conectados, principalmente relacionados a transcrição,
transporte transmembrana e transdução de sinal. Já no perı́odo subsequente, envolvendo
os dias 12 a 26 de tratamento, foi possı́vel observar uma alteração maciça do perfil de
transcrição celular com interferência em todas as camadas da regulação da expressão gênica.
Desta forma, nossos resultados sugerem que o chumbo induz modificações transcricionais
significativas nas NPCs que podem ser correlacionadas a danos e/ou adaptações de diversos
sistemas, todos decorrentes da intoxicação por este metal pesado, influenciando, assim, o
resultado final da diferenciação das células ES-NP.

Abstract
The consequences of lead poisoning are diverse and relevant to human health. Reaching all
organ systems, it mainly affects the nervous system, with severe and irreversible implications
of neurodevelopment, memory consolidation, and learning processes in children. They
interact with cellular components in many ways, affecting ion-binding proteins, transduction
signaling proteins, transmembrane ion channels, and transcription factors. If in one hand,
the symptoms of lead poisoning are well known, on the other hand, we have a lack of the
systemic effects and its impact on neuronal cell transcription modulation. In order to
investigate such effects from a systems biology perspective, we applied the transcriptogramer
R/Bioconductor package pipeline to evaluate the transcriptional profile of lead acetate-
treated human neural progenitor cells (NPCs) 30µM for 26 days. The transcriptogramer
algorithm is designed to identify functionally associated and differentially expressed gene
groups in case-control experiments in an unsupervised way. It was able to identify eleven
differentially expressed clusters between days 3 and 11 of the lead treatment. Of these,
seven presented negative regulation of several cellular systems involved in cell differentiation,
such as cytoskeleton organization, RNA and protein biosynthesis, characterized by large
and tightly connected networks. The four clusters that were positively regulated presented
sparse and poorly connected nodes, mainly related to transcription, transmembrane
transport, and signal transduction. In the subsequent period, involving days 12 to 26 of
treatment, it was possible to observe a massive alteration of the cellular transcription
profile with interference in all layers of gene expression regulation. Thus, our results
suggest that lead induces significant transcriptional modifications in NPCs which can be
correlated to damage and/or adaptations of various systems, all resulting from intoxication
by this heavy metal, thus influencing the result of ES-NP cell differentiation.

Introdução

O chumbo é, provavelmente, um dos primeiros minerais que o homem veio a utilizar em
metalurgia, sendo o artefato mais antigo feito com este material datado em 4300–4000 A.C.
[1]. De sı́mbolo quı́mico P b, número atômico 82 e massa atômica igual a 207,2 daltons é
classificado como metal pesado. É o metal estável de maior número atômico e o sétimo metal
mais denso, com densidade de 11, 34g/cm3 , atrás da platina, tungstênio, ouro, urânio, mercúrio
e paládio, sendo entre estes o mais abundante. Apresenta valência variável, podendo assumir
as valências 2 e 4 (P b2+ e P b4+ , respectivamente).
Possui as seguintes caracterı́sticas fı́sico-quı́micas:
Tais caracterı́sticas o tornam um material muito versátil e de fácil manipulação, fato este
que, aliado ao seu baixo custo de produção e abundância, o tornam um insumo importante
em diversas áreas econômicas, sendo o quinto metal mais consumido pela indústria, superado
apenas pelo ferro, cobre, alumı́nio e o zinco [2]. Devido às suas caracterı́sticas isolantes e
de resistência à oxidação, é largamente empregado na indústria elétrica, em acumuladores de
energia (baterias) e em forros para cabos elétricos. Possuindo elevada densidade, se presta
muito bem ao revestimento de ambientes como isolante acústico e eletromagnético, assim
como blindagem contra radiações de alta energia. Seu baixo ponto de fusão e capacidade
de associação com outros metais, permite o seu uso em soldas, fusı́veis, ligas metálicas e na
tipografia tradicional. É utilizado na indústria de tintas, vidros e cerâmicas na composição de
diversos pigmentos, sendo os mais comuns os brancos, na forma de carbonatos e sulfatos de
chumbo, e o amarelo, na forma de cromato de chumbo. Além disso, por ser um metal tóxico,
também é muito empregado como moluscicida na pintura de cascos de navios, como bactericida,
em especial para bactérias gram-positivas, e como fungicida. Desta forma, percebe-se que o
chumbo é um metal muito presente em nosso dia-a-dia, apesar de sua severa toxicidade[2, 3].
e substâncias tóxicas, não existindo nem mesmo um nı́vel máximo de contaminação por chumbo
que seja oficialmente aceito [9, 10, 11]. Também não há dados oficiais sobre intoxicação
por chumbo. As ações de combate à contaminação são tomadas sob demanda e os casos
reportados em estudos são, em sua maioria, decorrentes de acidentes ambientais ou da iniciativa
de instituições de pesquisa [12, 13, 14].
dos primeiros sintomas a aparecer em pessoas envenenadas por chumbo são as cólicas, náuseas
e vômitos. No sistema renal, pode causar nefrite tubulointersticial. No sistema cardiovascular,
tem sido associado a lesões cardı́acas, anormalidades eletrocardiográficas e aumento na pressão
sanguı́nea. No sistema musculoesquelético prejudica o desenvolvimento de ossos e dentes.
Estudos associam a esterilidade masculina a desordens no eixo HPT (Hipotálamo, Pituitária,
Testı́culos) causando, de forma ainda pouco conhecida, a redução da espermiogênese [21].
Também atribui-se como provável causa da esterilidade feminina a natural afinidade que o
chumbo possui com a gonadotrofina coriônica (hCG ), ligando-se diretamente a ela, quando irá
causar sua alteração conformacional e consequente inativação [22]. Outro mecanismo bastante
conhecido dá-se pela substituição do ı́on Zn2+ por P b2+ na proteı́na ALAD, impossibilitando
a sı́ntese Heme e, consequentemente, da hemoglobina (Hb), causando anemia no paciente
intoxicado [23].
Os efeitos da intoxicação por P b2+ são particularmente danosos quando tal exposição
ocorre durante o desenvolvimento do CNS, já que nestas condições tal sistema apresenta
uma maior capacidade de absorção de nutrientes e micronutrientes. Associado a desordens
cognitivas graves em crianças, são comuns os casos de pacientes intoxicados que apresentam
dificuldade de aprendizado e de consolidação da memória [23, 24, 25]. Mesmo quando em
baixas concentrações, problemas como alterações comportamentais, diminuição da capacidade
intelectual e de concentração foram reportados[26].
O papel do Zn2+
O zinco atua de forma direta ou indireta em inúmeros sistemas celulares, que envolvem
desde divisão celular, sı́ntese de DNA e sı́ntese proteica até a regulação do sistema imunológico.
É associado a muitas patogêneses neuronais, tais como a doença de Alzheimer, doença de
Parkinson, esclerose lateral amiotrófica, depressão e esquizofrenia, dentre outras [27, 28, 29].
Possui papel importante na sinalização de Ca2+ , uma vez que atua como bloqueador dos canais
de cálcio dependentes de voltagem [30]. Encontrado de forma abundante em tecido nervoso,
pode ser vinculado a terminais pré-sinápticos, em especial em neurônios glutamatérgicos, onde
regula a excitabilidade neuronal e a plasticidade sináptica. Também é associado a processos de
diferenciação neuronal e diferenciação morfológica de neurônios [27, 28, 29, 31].
Considerações sobre o chumbo 17
O papel do Ca2+
Assim como o zinco, o cálcio participa direta ou indiretamente de quase todos os processos
metabólicos humanos, atuando como fator de regulação na atuação de diversas enzimas e
proteı́nas.
Uma das principais proteı́nas afetadas pelo cálcio é a calmodulina (CaM), responsável pela
modulação de mais de 40 outras proteı́nas. Possuindo quatro sı́tios de ligação ao Ca2+ , tem
sua conformação alterada em função da abundância momentânea daquele ı́on, permitindo
sua interação com grupos diferentes de proteı́nas[32]. Abundante no CNS de mamı́feros, é
geralmente encontrada em locais envolvidos com a neurotransmissão, como nas membranas
pós-sinápticas, próximo à proteı́nas de densidade pós-sináptica (do inglês postsynaptic density
– PSD) e a vesı́culas sinápticas [33]. Dentre suas diferentes funções, pode-se destacar sua
participação no metabolismo de nucleotı́deos cı́clicos, na regulação de bombas Ca2+ , transporte
de ı́ons, fosforilação e desfosforilação de proteı́nas, montagem e desmontagem de microtúbulos,
sı́ntese de neurotransmissores, em especial a noradrenalina e serotonina, além da liberação de
neurotransmissores.
Além da CaM, outras proteı́nas dependentes de cálcio podem ser listadas como importantes
para o perfeito funcionamento do CNS. A proteı́na Quinase C (PKC) pode ser associada a
funções de controle do citoesqueleto de actina, de dinâmica de crescimento de microtúbulos, no
controle da plasticidade sináptica, onde regula os nı́veis de receptores NMDAR pós-sinápticos,
podendo ser assim correlacionada de forma direta ou indireta a diversas funções de aprendizado
e cognitivas [34]. As CaM-kinases (CaMK) têm papel fundamental no desenvolvimento e
funcionamento do neurônio, seja pela sua função na modulação de microtúbulos, seja na sua
atuação como fator ativo na potencialização sináptica durante o aprendizado [35]. Por fim,
o AMP cı́clico (do inglês Cyclic AMP – cAMP) pode também ser citado, já que participa
ativamente das cascatas de sinalização que implicarão nos processos de crescimento axonal,
interação entre astrócitos e neurônios, e na liberação de neurotransmissores [33, 23]. Um
resumo das principais vias metabólicas envolvidas e suas respectivas funções relacionadas ao
CNS podem ser vistas na Figura 2.

nos processos celulares por eles regulados;
Considerações sobre o chumbo 19
Como consequência, uma diversa gama de sistemas metabólicos acabam por ser compro-
metidos, afetando processos neuronais que envolvem desde a expressão gênica até a liberação
de neurotransmissores, com consequências diretas sobre a capacidade de atenção, memória e
aprendizado.
Desta forma, o chumbo acaba por interferir, direta ou indiretamente, em inúmeros processos
celulares e afeta de forma sistêmica e global processos fundamentais ao bom funcionamento
das células. Um modelo esquemático das possı́veis interações do chumbo com os diversos
sistemas celulares pode ser visto na Figura 3.

2 Diferenciação celular
O MSI1 é um gene cujos valores de expressão se apresentam enriquecidos nas fases iniciais
do desenvolvimento do CNS. Sua elevada taxa de transcrição ocorre durante o desenvolvimento
cerebral, principalmente em NPCs, células da camada granular externa cerebelar, ependimócitos
Diferenciação celular 22
Nestina (NES)
NOTCH1
Notch1 é um gene que pode ser correlacionado à diferenciação celular em diversos tecidos
cerebrais. Sua deficiência durante os estágios iniciais de desenvolvimento do CNS pode levar à
falha de diferenciação e à apoptose celular, especialmente em células da glia. Existem indı́cios
que sugerem que muitos mecanismos de diferenciação de células tronco neurais, incluindo-se aı́
as NPCs, são controlados pelas rotas de sinalização do Notch1 [41].
SOX1
NEUROD6
Doublecortina (DCX)
RBFOX3
Codificada pelo gene RBFOX3, a Proteina Neuronal Nuclear (NeuN) é comumente encon-
trada nos núcleos e citoplasma perinuclear da maioria dos neurônios do CNS de mamı́feros.
É frequentemente utilizada como um marcador neuronal devido a esta sua propriedade lo-
calizacional. Anticorpos monoclonais à proteı́na NeuN têm sido utilizados ativamente na
determinação da existência de diferenciação neuronal e na avaliação do estado funcional de
neurônios [47].
GAD1 e GAD2
Estes genes são responsáveis pela codificação das formas 1 e 2 da descarboxilase do ácido
glutâmico. Estas enzimas catalizam a produção de ácido gama-aminobutı́rico a partir do ácido L-
glutâmico. Também conhecidos como GAD67 e GAD65, respectivamente, estes genes, além de
desempenhar funções no pâncreas, relacionando-os ao diabetes do tipo 1 (insulinodependente),
são considerado marcadores de diferenciação celular de neurônios GABAérgicos, estando sua
expressão intimamente correlacionada com os nı́veis de expressão da TH neste tipo de neurônio
[48].

3.1.4 Clusterização
De forma semelhante ao processo utilizado na obtenção dos valores médios de DE por janela
deslizante, os clusteres funcionais considerados significativos são obtidos pela utilização de uma
janela de mesmo raio que irá deslizar por sobre os p-valores obtidos do pacote limma. Um
cluster irá crescer sempre que dentro da janela houver pelo menos dois p-valores menores que
um limiar predeterminado, sendo os limites de tal cluster estendido até a posição do segundo
p-valor considerado significativo. A Figura 9 ilustra o processo onde uma janela deslizante de
raio 2 encontra dois p-valores menores que 0,01 nas posições 5 e 7 do ordenamento, estendendo
o cluster 1 até aquela última posição. A Figura 10 ilustra a representação gráfica dos clusteres
por sobre o gráfico de médias de DE.

Discussão
O chumbo é classificado como uma toxina potente, cujo envenenamento causa efeitos
amplos e diversos. Além de afetar uma variada gama de tecidos, o chumbo age em diferentes
nı́veis do metabolismo celular, afetando muitos sistemas moleculares. Seus efeitos mais
significativos ocorrem no CNS, onde interfere em áreas cerebrais bastante especı́ficas e em
vias neuronais importantes. Os riscos do envenenamento por chumbo causam preocupação
especial quando ocorrem em crianças e mulheres grávidas, já que nestas populações a taxa de
absorção deste metal é maior e seus efeitos são particularmente perturbadores sobre um sistema
nervoso em desenvolvimento [53, 54, 5]. Apesar de ser mundialmente aceito como padrão para
inı́cio de ações de combate à intoxicação, nem mesmo o valor de 5µg/dL de sangue adotado
pelo Center of Disease Control americano (CDC) [55] pode ser considerado seguro, uma vez
que a exposição precoce e crônica ao chumbo, mesmo que a nı́veis bastante reduzidos, já foi
associada a danos cerebrais, neurodesenvolvimento anormal, comprometimento dos nı́veis de QI,
disfunção neuropsicológica e transtornos comportamentais [56, 57, 58]. Além disso, os efeitos
do P b2+ sobre a cognição e padrões comportamentais em crianças podem ser considerados
permanentes. Apesar das terapias quelantes à base de EDTA conseguirem reduzir a carga
corporal do metal, elas não corrigem os distúrbios já causados ao cérebro durante perı́odos
considerados crı́ticos do seu desenvolvimento, cujas consequências podem estar correlacionadas
a comportamentos anti-sociais, violência e redução no volume cerebral em adultos [59]. Os
efeitos sistêmicos do envenenamento por chumbo refletem sua competência na interação com
muitos componentes capazes de causar distúrbios na função celular [23].
Estudos anteriores envolvendo diferenciação de células-tronco embrionárias demonstraram a
influência deste metal sobre o metabolismo, alterando as caracterı́sticas celulares em diferentes
nı́veis. Foram reportadas alterações fenotı́picas na morfologia, onde os neurônios resultantes
de NPCs tratadas com concentrações maiores que 1, 9µM de acetato de chumbo por um
perı́odo de 11 a 19 dias exibiram um menor desenvolvimento neurı́tico, geralmente adotando
uma forma unipolar com pequena ramificação dendrı́tica e um longo axônio. Alterações
epigenéticas significativas também foram registradas, sugerindo a vulnerabilidade de células
neuronais em diferenciação à ação do chumbo. Genes essenciais à neurogênese tiveram seus
padrões de metilação alterados, como no caso do PLXNA4 e do NEUROG1, que apresentaram
hipermetilação e hipometilação, respectivamente. Em tais estudos foram, ainda, observadas
expressivas reduções nas taxas de proliferação de células tronco neurais quando tratadas com
P b2+ [60, 61].
No presente trabalho, observou-se que os efeitos sistêmicos do chumbo afetaram tanto o
processo de diferenciação celular quanto outros processos celulares diversos, diferindo de forma
significativa com o decorrer do tempo de tratamento. Houve como efeito precoce (perı́odo
entre os dias 3 e 11 do tratamento, Time-Interval 1 ou T 1) uma grande redução nos valores

[78]. Outros estudos ainda correlacionam o fator BDNF, responsável pela ativação das cascatas
de sinalização do gene mTOR, ao desenvolvimento neuronal, aprendizado e memória [79, 80],
onde foi demonstrado que o chumbo reduz as quantidades de BDNF disponı́vel em neurônios,
com impactos nos nı́veis de proteı́nas pré-sinápticas e liberação de neurotransmissores [81, 82]
este padrão esteja relacionado a uma resposta autoimune, já que estudos em camundongos
mostraram que a exposição ao chumbo pode levar a este tipo de disfunção, com a produção
de anticorpos contra proteı́nas neurais, incluindo-se aı́ a proteı́na básica de mielina MBP e a
proteı́na glial GFAP, o que conduziria a quadros de doenças degenerativas do CNS induzidas
por chumbo [91]. Pode, também, ser a caracterização dos processos inflamatórios no tecido
cerebral descritos em [72] e não observados no T 1, manifestando-se aqui de forma tardia.
Outros distúrbios relacionados ao sistema imune, como imunossupressão e hipersensibilidade a
antı́genos, também foram relatados como estando associados à intoxicação pelo metal pesado
[92].
Esta alteração massiva observada tardiamente em todo o interatoma reforça a ideia na qual
o chumbo possui vocação para corromper de forma significativa o funcionamento de inúmeros
sistemas biológicos a ele expostos, substituindo ı́ons essenciais e alterando toda a homeostase
da transcrição. É assim, razoável supor que o desenvolvimento normal das células neuronais e
consequente funcionamento do CNS fique severamente comprometido como resultado de uma
exposição precoce e prolongada ao chumbo.

Figure S6: Connectivity and GO terms of clusters 5, 6, and 11. Transcriptogram, cluster’s names, and
colors correspond to the time-interval 1. Top graph of each cluster represents the connectivity of PPI
networks. Nodes are the cluster’s relevant proteins but are not explicitly represented. The confluence of
edges identifies them. Botton graph of each cluster is a dendrogram and refers to the cluster’s enriched GOs
hierarchy. Circles represent each enriched GO term. Node sizes are proportional to the numbers of terms
held by each GO term. Dendrogram colors represent the normalized terms occupation rate, where dark
colors indicate a larger number of genes detected over all genes belonging to the GO. Distance between
two nodes is proportional to the number of genes they have in common.

Figures S6 to S15 are dendrograms of clusters 1 to 11 of time-interval 1, respectively, and refers to the
cluster’s enriched GOs hierarchy. Circles represent each enriched GO term and are labeled by it respective
description. Node sizes are proportional to the numbers of terms held by each GO term. Dendrogram
colors represent the normalized terms occupation rate, where dark colors indicate a larger number of genes
detected over all genes belonging to the GO. Distance between two nodes is proportional to the number of
genes they have in common. Cluster 2 do not have a dendrogram because it had no GO terms enriched.
