Full textHigh performance insulation is a type of material that is available but has not been used at the Swedish market as it should have. In this rapport the high performance insulation material PIR will be the major subject. This material will be compared to the traditional insulation material cellular plastic; parallels will also be drawn to the mineral fiber. PIR- insulation has 40 % better thermal conductivity than the cellular plastic and means that the material has a better insulation ability, which leads to a thinner construction. This insulation is therefore ideal for use in passive-, low-energy- and zero-energy houses. Another property that makes PIR- insulation stand out is its fire resistant capacity which fulfill a higher fire class than the cellular plastic, despite that it also is a plastic material. PIR-insulation is a more expensive material; however, money can be saved during production when moisture and wind protection can be excluded. If a building has a higher energy requirement money can be saved over time trough lower energy costs.

Full textDespite the recognized importance of non-photosynthetic plastids in a wide array of plant processes, root plastids involvement in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS) remains to be explored. Using electronic microscopy, we have clearly identified in cortical cells of M. Truncatula roots four main types of plastids with a predominance of amyloplasts. Whereas AM-colonized cortical cells had a proliferation of plastids without internal membrane and plastids with internal tubular membrane at the expense of amyloplasts. The metabolism of these plastids is involved in the synthesis of mycorradicin that we measure accumulation by HPLC in mycorrhizal roots. The latter accumulation is concomitant with the increase of arbuscules. The study of the root plastid proteome then proved fundamental allowing us using GeLC-MS/MS, to establish the first repertory of a root plastidome. These new candidates might play a role in the sentinel function that plastids may use in plants versus biotic and abiotic stress. The qualitative comparison of non-/mycorrhizal root plastidomes highlighted 29 plastid proteins identified as induced or up-regulated in response to the AMS. These proteins are involved for their great majority in fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. The stimulation of lipid metabolism in mycorrhizal roots confirms the results of our ultrastructural observations for existence of a shift of the metabolism of carbohydrates to a more pronounced lipid metabolism. Plastids are key organelles for maintaining functional AMS

Full textDen här rapporten är en livscykelanalys av ett relativt nybyggt passivhus/lågenergihus som också är ett parhus (ett hus delat i två separata lägenheter) beläget i Östersund/Jämtland. Analysen koncentrerar sig på byggnadsmaterialen i konstruktionsfasen och energin i användningsfasen under 50 år. Konstruktionsfasen inkluderar stomme, grund, inner- och ytterväggar, inner- och yttertak, mellanbjälklag, golvbeklädnader, inner- och ytterdörrar, fönster, invändig trappa med trappräcke, kamin och FTX-ventilationssystem. Inventeringen för att få fram volymen på varje material har gjorts med hjälp av ritningar och intervjuer. Inventeringen av användningsfasen har gjorts med hjälp av mätvärden från en parallell studie av Itai Danielski på energianvändningen i huset (Danielski, Svensson & Fröling, 2013). Databasen Ecoinvent har sedan använts för att få fram ett resultat för volym- och energivärdena. Inventeringsdatan är allokerad och karaktäriseringsmetoderna GWP (globalt uppvärmingspotential), CED (kumulativt energibehov) och USEtox (toxicitet) har använts. Målet med studien är att jämföra konstruktionsfasen med användningsfasen för att kunna se vilken fas som har högst energivärden och miljöpåverkan. Målet är också att undersöka vilka material i konstruktionsfasen som har högst förkroppsligad energi och miljöpåverkan, i syftet att eventuellt kunna byta ut vissa material till miljövänligare alternativ, för att få ett miljövänligare hus i framtida liknande byggnationer. Resultaten visar att i en jämförelse mellan konstruktionsfasen och användningsfasen, och med hänsyn till de parametrar som ingår i studien, att användningsfasen har de högsta värdena för globalt uppvämingspotential (runt 54 %), kumulativt energibehov (runt 80 %), ekotoxicitet (runt 56 %), human icke-cancerogen toxicitet (runt 77 %) och total human toxicitet (runt 75 %). Konstruktionsfasen har högst värden för human cancerogen toxicitet (runt 57 %). Även om användningsfasen har högst värden i de flesta kategorierna så har även konstruktionsfasen höga värden. Ju mer energieffektiva husen blir och med en ökad användning av energi från förnyelsebara källor, desto viktigare blir konstruktionsfasen ur ett miljöperspektiv. Det betyder att materialvalen som görs i huset blir väldigt viktiga om passivhus ska fortsätta anses som miljövänliga även i framtiden. Denna studie visar också att FTX-ventilationssystemet, några av isoleringsmaterialen (med cellplasten och stenullen i topp), metallerna (med plåttaket av stål i topp), limträbalkar och träfiberskivor har några av de högsta värdena av miljöpåverkan och den högsta förkroppsligade energin. Dessa material borde i framtida byggnationer övervägas att om möjligt ersättas med andra material med mindre miljöpåverkan.

Full textA methodology based on micromechanics has been developed to determine the effective behavior of network materials endowed with a discrete architecture at the microscopic level. It relies on the discrete homogenization method, which has been applied to textile monolayers and trabecular bones. The initially discrete topology of the considered network materials results after homogenization at the mesoscopic level in anisotropic micropolar effective continuum, which proves able to capture the observed internal scale effects. Such micromechanical methods are useful to remedy the difficulty to measure the effective mechanical properties at the intermediate mesoscopic level scale. The bending and torsion responses of vertebral trabecular bone beam specimens are formulated in both static and dynamic situations, based on the Cosserat theory. 3D models have been developed for describing the multiaxial yield and brittle fracture behavior of trabecular bone, including the analysis of size-dependent non-classical plastic yield. We have constructed by FE analyses a homogeneous, orthotropic couple-stress continuum model as a substitute of the 3D periodic heterogeneous cellular solid model of vertebral trabecular bone, based on the equivalent strain energy approach. Bone tissues are able to adapt their local density and load bearing capacities as well as their size and shape to mechanical stimuli. We have developed models for combined internal and external bone remodeling in the framework of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes, at both the cellular and macroscopic levels. We lastly combined anisotropic internal remodeling with fatigue continuum damage

Full textPlastids are indispensable to plant cell survival because a large number of metabolic pathways take place in them. These organelles originated from an endosymbiosis between a host cell and a cyanobacteria. Therefore, plants do not synthetise plastids de novo : they proliferate by binary fission. The mechanism of plastid division is closely related to that of bacterial cell division but its regulation is poorly understood. Mitosis results in a two-fold decrease in plastid number. Moreover, plastid number in mesophyll cells correlates with cell size and cell ploidy. Plastid division and cell cycle are thus likely to be coordinated. To investigate this, and to analyse the underlying molecular mechanism, we caracterised the function of three Arabidopsis genes. The first was chosen on the basis of its sequence similarity with a bacterial cell division inhibitor. The others were analysed because they are known to play a role in cell cycle regulation, and harbour plastid targeting sequences. The first approach allowed us to identify a new plastid division protein. The second led us to the conclusion that cell cycle and plastid division are indeed coordinated, and that the link between the two processes could occur at the G1/S transition. This hypothesis accounts both for the maintain of plastid number in proliferating cells, and for the increase in plastid number in endoreduplicating cells

Full textThe aim of this work was to improve the knowledge on adipose tissue, organ that is at the heart of the practice of plastic surgeons. Indeed, this tissue can be transplanted autologously in order to fill a defect (volumizing role of the adipocytes) but also to be used for tissue regeneration in connection with the cells of the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and especially the mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). These cells are obtained after liposuction of the tissue by enzymatic digestion of the extracellular matrix. It turns out that the knowledge available on these CSM is essentially derived from in vitro studies after a cell culture phase and thus the in vivo properties are poorly known. This work consisted in characterizing the heterogeneity of the native stromal compartment of adipose tissue obtained after enzymatic digestion. We isolated two distinct native stromal populations: the ASC (CD34 +), for the most part, and the pericyte cells (CD146 +). These 2 cell types differed in their phenotypes, their clonogenecity potentials and their immunomodulatory properties in vitro and in vivo. We then compared the enzymatic digestion of the tissue with the techniques of mechanical digestion usable within our operating room. We have demonstrated that these new techniques made it possible to produce the cells of the FVS including MSC, cells particularly interesting for regenerative surgery. In addition, all the laboratory techniques acquired during this work allowed us to investigate the role of liposuction techniques used in plastic surgery on adipose tissue. We have demonstrated by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, that part of the microvasculature framework is conserved after liposuction. All of these results are in addition to clinical data demonstrating that liposuction of the tissue is a gesture to be more conservative for the tissue and could explain lower rates of complications after contour surgery

Full textThe emergence of bacterial and fungal strains more and more resistant to disinfection is a threat to the development of nations and human health around the world. Amongst the mechanism of action, we will focus on the interaction between the molecule and the plasmic membrane for the lysis of the microorganism. The first goal of this work is to synthetize amphiphilic molecules to interact with bacterial membrane Azobenzene are interesting because their two phenyl group give them an apolar moiety, the next step is a grafting of a polar head to make them become an amphiphile molecule. Three types of azobenzene were synthetized to evaluate their antibacterial properties and their antifungal properties. The second goal of this work is tounderstand how they interact with the plasmic membranes. To perform this, we tested the azobenzenes on biomimetic models of plasmic membranes. The first group of compounds (AzoOH) with an alcohol group as polar head showed good biological properties but have a poor potential to interact with plasmic membrane. The second group of compounds (AzoPEG) with a triethylene-glycol type polar head have mediocre biological activities, and their ability to interact with the membrane were not enhanced. The third group of compounds (AzoTAI) with a trimethylammonium type polar head showed very good biological activities, and strong interaction with bacterial membrane lipid. These antibacterial activities are correlated to their interaction with bacterial lipids. It also has good abilities to adsorb themselves to hydrophilic/hydrophobic interfaces. However, their cytotoxic activity on human cells can be a severe drawback with their use

Full textTo produce the energy needed for cell metabolism, eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms rely on two organelles: the chloroplast and the mitochondrion. The former converting light energy into chemical energy, the latter performing cell respiration. Since both organelles have overlapping function, their activities need to be regulated. While in plants and green algae they seem to work overall independently according to environmental conditions, like light and sugar availability, in Diatoms the direct exchange of ATP and NADPH between these two organelles are essential for the cell’s survival. Although the physiology of this energetic crosstalk is well established, the molecular actors of this process are still unknown. During this PhD project, I have selected four candidate proteins, which turned out to play a role the organelles’ cross talk mechanisms. These are transporters predicted to be located within the chloroplast envelope and the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. To understand their physiological role, we compared the photosynthetic performances of the wildtype and the mutant strains with spectroscopic and fluorescence approaches, while the respiration was quantified measuring the oxygen evolution rates.The observed differences suggest that the selected transporters play a role the chloroplast-mitochondrion crosstalk and that other proteins might be involved in this regulative process.The further characterization of these transporters might also validate them as possible targets to improve algal biomass productivity for biotech, promoting the simultaneous use of respiration and photosynthesis (mixotrophy)

Full textThis research aims to elucidate the use of supramolecular interaction to guide the formation of well-defined nanoscale self-assembled architecture in photovoltaic solar cells as a means to improve device efficiency. Complementary molecular recognition sites based on melamine and barbituric acid were used to obtain functionalized fullerene and oligothiophene materials with superior processibility thanks to the presence of specific solubilizing groups. The efficiency of solid-state devices fabricated using the bulk heterojunction design was studied with respect to device morphology and composition. Experiments on recombination mechanism and field effect mobilities suggest that the balance between hydrogen-bonding interactions induce self-assembly and p-p interactions to promote phase segregation is crucial to the micro-structure of the active layer. The investigated of the relationship between the oligothiophene chain size and various complementary hydrogen-bonding motifs is envisaged

Full textRationale: The pro-angiogenic capacities of endothelial progenitor cells are now well established, and their involvement in neovascularization events in adults has stimulated the research in the field of angiogenic therapy based on transplant of these cells. Current data converge towards the notion of two cell types with endothelial phenotype, defined at least by their kinetics of appearance in culture: early endothelial progenitor cells (CFU-EC or CAC) and late (ECFC). Our team has shown that the therapeutic injection of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) led to neovascularization of the ischemic site in patients with critical limb ischemia, and that the new vessels formed bore the phenotype of ECFC. We initially measured the concentrations of different proteins modulating angiogenesis in patients with ischemic and cardiovascular diseases, or involving vascular abnormalities associated with fibrosis. Thus, the transforming growth factor - ß1 (TGF-ß1) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) in peripheral artery disease, and the placental growth factor (PlGF) in patients with cardiovascular diseases [acute coronary syndrome (ACS), patients undergoing valve surgery or coronary artery bypass surgery], emerged as potential plasmatic biomarkers in these pathological settings, and have been studied in the biology of human ECFC.Results: TGF-ß1 plasma level is increased in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) compared to the control population; it exerts a pro-angiogenic effect in vivo (vascularization of Matrigel ®-plugs) and in vitro (proliferation and migration of ECFC) via ALK-1, ALK-5 and TGF-ßRII receptors. TSP-1 plasma level is increased in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) compared to the control population. In addition, the new vessels formed in PAD patients treated by local injection of BM-MNC express TSP-1. In murine models of Matrigel ®-plugs and hindlimb ischemia, TSP-1 induces a decrease in plugs vascularization and impaired revascularization of ischemic limb. In vitro, TSP-1 increases ECFC adhesion via an N-terminal dependent mechanism and reduces their angiogenic potential (proliferation and migration) via its binding to CD47 receptor, which activates the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway. PlGF plasma level is increased in ACS patients compared with the control population and stable angina patients and is also increased in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. PlGF-1 and -2 potentiate ECFC tubulogenesis in vitro via phosphorylation of the VEGFR1 receptor. This effect was abolished when the ECFC VEGFR1 is inhibited by RNA interference or by the chemical compound "4321". In addition this compound "4321" inhibits the vascularization of Matrigel ®-plugs, and revascularization of the ischemic limb in the hindlimb ischemia model.Conclusions: TGF-ß1 is involved in the IPF vascular remodeling through ECFC; TSP-1 is a potential biomarker of angiogenesis induced by ECFC in PAD; the inhibition of the PlGF/VEGFR1 pathway modulates ECFC tubulogenesis, cells involved in the formation of new vessels. We thus identified three proteins that modulate angiogenesis in three different pathological settings characterized by a vascular remodeling and where ECFC are involved in their pathophysiology. These three proteins therefore state as potential plasmatic biomarkers, modulating ECFC angiogenic properties and are able to influence their efficacy as a cell therapy product. These plasmatic biomarkers likely play a role in the homeostasis of those pathologies progress

Full textGrowing attention is paid to multienzymatic cascades to develop more efficient synthetic processes. However, in in cellulo process, the control of the simultaneous heterologous expression of several genes in the same host is often difficult and can lead to imbalances in the reaction flow. To exploit the benefits of cascades, activities of each step have to be adjusted and thus, cellular biocatalysts capable of programming enzymes stoichiometry have to be constructed. In this work, to modulate the stoichiometry of two enzymes in vivo, we developed an original approach based on the copy number per cell of plasmids (PCN) used as vectors. The PCN is regulated in bacteria by three main mechanisms leading, according to the replicon, to low, medium or high PCN. As proof of concept, we chose a self-sufficient system combining an Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) and a Baeyer-Villiger MonoOxygenase (BVMO), both NADP(H)-dependent. Several recombinant plasmids harboring both genes were designed and combined in E. coli. Coexpression strains constructed were compared in terms of PCN, enzyme production and activity. We showed the importance of a judicious choice of plasmids combination and the existence of a correlation between enzymes ratios and activity. Our biocatalysts ranged from an inactive system to a system with a TTN of about 6000. This system allowed the synthesis of lactones of industrial interest, dihydrocoumarin and caprolactone, via double oxidation of indanol and cyclohexanol. Finally, based on this plasmids combination model, three new cellular biocatalysts combining ADH with various BVMOs were designed to broaden the range of esters and lactones synthesizable from alcohols

Full textBone healing leads in only a few cases to an ad integrum regeneration, but most often to an incomplete tissue repair. Thus, the development of new biomaterials from tissue engineering in order to promote bone regeneration is a major goal. The purpose of our study was to evaluate if GXXPG peptides, derived from elastin, are able to favor human bone marrow mesenchymal cells (HBMC) to mature osteoblasts and bone matrix formation and mineralization.To this end, we used type I collagen (COL1) lattices. Floating lattice (LF) contraction stimulates osteoblasts markers expression (Runx-2, BSP…) by HMBC and bone matrix mineralization. Osteoblast differentiation is also associated to MT1-MMP/MMP-2/MMP-13 proteolytic cascade activation. We then showed that GXXPG peptides stimulate osteoblast markers like Runx-2 in a dose-dependent manner, an effect which involves S-Gal receptor. On a type I collagen coating model, these peptides also promote CMMO differentiation into osteoblast, bone matrix formation and mineralization. Finally, under “inflammatory” conditions, which can be catalyzed by plasminogen (Plg) supplementation, these peptides keep their ability to induce osteogenic responses in HBMC, even under mechanical stress. Plg alone is also able to promote osteoblast differentiation. Although GXXPG peptides stimulate collagenolytic enzymes (MT1-MMP, MMP-1) production, collagen degradation in LF is not significant. To conclude, GXXPG peptides appear as promising pharmacological biomolecules in bone regeneration

Full textPCNA is an essential protein that is involved in many cellular mechanisms and has many post-translational modifications (PTMs). The functions of some PTMs, still remain unknown. In order to study the function of these PTMs, we have developed a new genetic tool allowing, in cellulo, the substitution of endogenous PCNA protein with a mutated version of the protein named complementation version. The technique involves cotransfection of the cells in culture with two types of plasmids. A first plasmid allows invalidation of the endogenous PCNA gene in transfected cells by the CRISPR-Cas9 system. The second plasmid, named complementation plasmid allows the expression of a mutated form of PCNA. In the whole bank of tested mutants, two PCNA mutants were found to be lethal (D122A and E124A). We have demonstrated that these two sites are involved in the initiation of an ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation CRL4Cdt2 pathway essential for the proteolysis of a protein cocktail (cdt1, p21, set8) during the S phase. We demonstrated that PCNA mutant cells (D122A and E124A) accumulate p21 protein. This lack of degradation of p21 then causes re-replication events leading ultimately to the mutant cells death

Full textThis thesis describes the state of the art in nanomaterials-based targeted bioimaging and introduces molecularly imprinted polymers, also termed ‘plastic antibodies’ as novel biorecognition agents for labeling and imaging of cells and tissues. In fundamental biology and medical diagnostics, there is a constant need to localize and quantify specific molecular targets. Abnormal glycosylation levels or distributions of hyaluronan or sialic acids on cells are indicators of infection or malignancy. In general, bioimaging with fluorescent probes enables the localization and qualitative or quantitative determination of these pathological biomarkers. However, no reliable tools for the recognition of glycosylation sites on proteins exist, because the commercially available antibodies or lectins have poor affinity and selectivity for these targets. In this context, tailor-made molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are promising synthetic receptor materials since they present a series of advantages over their natural counterparts such as the ease and low cost of preparation and their physical and chemical stability. Thus, MIPs could provide a robust and specific imaging tool for revealing the location/distribution, time of appearance and structure of glycosylation sites on/in cells, which would lead to a better insight of the tremendously diverse biological processes in which these molecules are involved. Herein, we describe the synthesis of water-compatible MIPs for the molecular imaging of hyaluronan and sialylation sites on cells and tissues. Since molecular imprinting of entire biomacromolecules like oligosaccharides is challenging, we opted for what is commonly called the ‘epitope approach’, which was inspired by nature. The monosaccharides, glucuronic acid and N-acetylneuraminic acid were imprinted, and the resulting MIPs were able to bind these molecules when present and accessible on the terminal unit of hyaluronan and sialylation sites. Fluorescent MIPs were synthesized as rhodamine-labeled nanoparticles and as MIP-coated InP/ZnS core-shell quantum dot (QD) particles. For the coating of the QDs, a novel versatile solubilization and functionalization strategy was proposed, which consists of creating polymer shells directly on QDs by photopolymerization using the particles as individual internal light sources. A standard immunostaining protocol was then successfully adapted for the application of the fluorescently labeled MIPs to image fixed and living human keratinocytes and skin tissues, by epifluorescence and confocal fluorescence microscopy. The results were comparable to those obtained with a reference method where staining was done with a biotinylated hyaluronic acid binding protein. Multiplexed and cancer cell imaging were also performed, demonstrating the potential of molecularly imprinted polymers as a versatile biolabeling and bioimaging tool. Although the MIPs were not cytotoxic at the concentrations used for bioimaging, in order to render them generally applicable in biomedicine, where toxicity of the polymerization precursors is a matter of concern, we suppressed the initiator, a toxic chemical. Initiator-free MIPs were thus synthesized by using monomers that can self-initiate under UV irradiation or heat. The specificity and selectivity of the obtained MIPs were as good as the ones prepared with initiators. In conclusion, we have demonstrated for the first time the great potential of MIPs as synthetic antibody mimics for bioimaging. The possibility to associate other functionalities such as QDs and additionally attach drugs to the same material appears rather straightforward due to the synthetic polymeric nature of MIPs, which paves the way to new potential applications in theranostics

In this research the skimmed milk isolated from colostrums collected on the 2nd day postpartum were hydrolyzed by Flavourzyme. The skimmed milk hydrolysates were subjected into a plastein reaction with Flavourzyme under pH 5 and 9 for 4, 8 and 12 hours, respectively. This research investigates the effects of different plastin products on human mononuclear cell (MNC) growth, on the secretion of cytokines (IL-1β, IFN-γ and TNF-α) as well as nitric oxide, and on the growth inhibition of human leukemic U937 cells. The results showed that the products of plastein reaction with Flavourzyme under pH 9 for 8 hours (Pp-9-8) (at 800 μg/mL) had significant effects on the inhibition of U937 cell growth and cytokine secretion. Additionally, Tp-9-8, Lp-9-8 and Gp-9-8 from the plastein reactions with three amino acids (Tyrosine, Leucine and Glycine) under pH 9 for 8 hours were compared with Pp-9-8. It was found that both Pp-9-8 and Lp-9-8 had significant effects on the inhibition of U937 cell growth, and could considerably stimulate the secretion of cytokines. This research also investigated the simulated digestion in the gastrointestinal tract for Pp-9-8 and Lp-9-8 and the effects of the enzymes in the gastrointestinal tracts on the growth inhibition and immunoregulation of U937 cells. Results showed that the plastein products after the simulated digestion in the gastrointestinal tracts had a tendency to decrease both the inhibition of U937 cell growth and the amount of cytokine secreted.
