Full textInvasive breast cancer cells express NaV1.5 sodium channels which activity seems to be associated with metastatic progression. The activity of the channel in MDA-MB-231 cells leads to a pericellular acidification favourable for the activity of extracellular cysteine cathepsins B and S and for extracellular matrix degradation. During this thesis, we have shown that NHE1 exchanger is the main pH regulator in MDA-MB-231 cells and that the activity of NaV1.5 channels increases protons efflux activity of NHE1 possibly through allosteric modulation. NaV1.5 and NHE1 are co-localised in lipid rafts and in invadopodia of MDA-MB-231 cells. The activity of NHE1 and NaV1.5 promotes the proteolytic activity of invadopodia. Finally, the activity of NaV1.5 channels seems to modulate cytoskeleton and morphology of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells to promote the acquisition of a proinvasive phenotype. In conclusion NaV1.5 increases NHE1 activity in invadopodia to stimulate breast cancer cells invasiveness

Full textThis work treats interrelationships between Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and free living amoebae in water. These protozoa could be true bacterial vectors or even amplifiers. There is an added medical problem since Legionella may cause outbreaks whose starting point is a contaminated hydrous environment. Moreover, certain free amoebas and P. Aeruginosa also have a pathogenic capacity. Different hydrous environments were tested for the presence of these organisms. Free amoebae were found in many environments and Legionella were only found in their presence. This assumption was then studied in vitro in sterilized thermal spring water. It confirms that certain amoebic genera allow the multiplication of Legionella contrary to Willaertia genera. P. Aeruginosa, on the other hand involve amoebic lysis by synthesis of factors of virulence

Full textBlood transfusion is a common medical practice used in several clinical applications, aimed at restoring the level of hemoglobin of anemic patients, or reconstituting their full blood volume. Diverse public collection agencies have been set up across the world in the past decades in order to get a safer and more widespread product. Nevertheless, emerging countries are still facing massive quantitative deficits, while the ones with best collection capacities remain exposed to local qualitative insufficiencies in some specific applications. For ail these reasons, the academic world has been looking for alternatives to blood donation for decades. Amongst them, a very promising route is the ex vivo production of red blood cells, which consists in making human red blood cells artificially, from stem cells of various origins. This concept requires both a biological expertise in order to control the growth and the differentiation of the cells, and a robust industrial process allowing the economical production of red blood cells on an industrial scale. Academic research has mainly focused on the biological aspect up to now. Published protocols theoretically allow production of several dozens of red blood cells units from hematopoietic stem cells isolated from one cord blood. The functionality of produced red blood cells has proved similar to native ones, and their survival compares favorably when injected in a human. On the other hand, how to scale up the production process and reduce costs has not been the subject of many articles. This is the main topic of this thesis. In a proof of concept approach, we have (i) set a dynamic culture process in a bioreactor conserving the same output of the static plastic flasks, and (ii) conceived an innovative perfusion process allowing the concentration of cells in culture as well as the conservation and reuse of the most expensive constituants of our culture medium. We have reached a maximal cell concentration of 108 cells/mL, which is more than 20 times higher than the cell concentration obtained in static conditions. This accomplishment allows us to consider production of a red blood cells unit in a 30 liters bioreactor. Meanwhile, the economical perfusion process allowed us to reach a more than 4-fold reduction of the process costs, before optimizations. This work has paved the way for a credible process to produce red blood cells at a large scale. Some aspects of the process remain elusive and have to be adressed, but most theoretical barriers have been lifted, and they could be developed through an ambitious research and development program. Cost remains the major issue, despite the progress that has already been made in this thesis. Ideas for possible cost-cutting measure; are considered, but the efficient conversion of this research into a clinical product would require the convergence of several scientific and industrial complementary competencies, together with substantial investments

Full textWe developed techniques of real time PCR which make it possible to quantify the plasmatic RNA and the DNA HIV of the variants HIV-1 group O anf HIV-2. We applied these techniques to the study of viral multiplication. To compare the early stages of the multiplication cycle of HIV-1 group M and HIV-2, we made the techniques of PCR comparable by synthesizing plasmids containing the fragments amplified during both PCR HIV-1 and PCR HIV-2. We quantified total HIV DNA and DNA circular forms with 2-LTR during kinetics of infection. The kinetics show that HIV-2 produces less DNA than HIV-1, which shows that HIV-2 is less effective during the entry and/or reserve transcription. We also note that the 2-LTR forms are more frequent in the case of HIV-2 infection. The quantification of total HIV DNA on samples coming from untreated patients infected by HIV-1 or HIV-2 confirms the in vitro results : there is a significant difference between DNA viral loads among patients having more than 300 CD4/µl

Full textBioprocesses of mammalian cell culture have become essential for the production of therapeutic recombinant proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAb). However, the physiological state of the cells and the quality of the mAb produced, in particular their glycosylation, may vary during the process, and may lead to the alteration of the safety and efficacy of the final product. Consequently, the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative has encouraged the development of online monitoring techniques, with the aim to better control the process and ensure the quality of the final product. In this context, this thesis proposes innovative approaches for online monitoring of CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cells bioreactor cultures, by using three types of in situ spectroscopic measurements (dielectric, Raman, near infrared (NIR)). The first chapter presents a novel approach to predict in real-time one of the major cell physiological state parameters, the specific growth rate (µ). Based on online permittivity measured by in situ dielectric spectroscopy, the cell concentration was estimated and µ was calculated in real-time, making possible to detect the critical moment when µ begins to decrease significantly. Compared to an offline approach, this online approach allowed to maintain the cells in a stable physiological state, ensuring the glycosylation of the mAb produced in feed-harvest cultures. The second chapter shows the use of in situ NIR and Raman spectroscopies combined with chemometric methods. For the first time, the performances of these two spectroscopies were compared in parallel in the same cultures. Online models were developed to predict in real-time the concentration of different parameters (viable cells, glucose, lactate, glutamine, ammonium ions and antibodies). The evaluation of these models by the multivariate Figures of Merit (FOM) revealed some of the advantages of Raman spectroscopy. The combination of the two spectroscopies by various data fusion strategies has also been evaluated. In the third chapter, the interest of Raman spectroscopy for the online monitoring of both the quantity and the glycosylation of the mAb was demonstrated. Models were developed for online prediction of both macroheterogeneity (glycosylation site occupancy) and microheterogeneity (glycan structures) of mAb glycosylation in batch and feed-harvest cultures. The last chapter used models previously developed for NIR and dielectric spectroscopies, to integrate into a “soft sensor” by combining with cell metabolic and mass balance equations. This “soft sensor”, implemented in a fed-batch cell culture for the automatic control of the feed rate, leads to an increased mAb productivity and better mAb glycosylation

Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCB113.
Full textThe craniofacial area is particularly vulnerable to structural loss. Its location and visibility make a loss causes disorders, both physical (food, phonation...) than psychological (integrity of the person...). Current treatments (autografts, allografts or synthetic bone grafts) are particularly invasive and have a high failure rate. All this strongly affects the quality of life of the patient. In addition, the cost of these treatments is significant for the health systems and the patient. Therefore, there is a real need to develop innovative treatments based on biomimetic tissue approaches for bone repair. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a tissue engineering approach for the repair/regeneration of injured cranial-facial bone tissue. It is based on the use of cellularized scaffolds with mesenchymal stem cells derived from the dental pulp: Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs). Many studies have demonstrated the high plasticity of these cells, which initially derive from the neural crest, but also their trophic ability in the repair of damaged tissues by their osteogenic and chondrocyte differentiation capacity. Moreover, these cells have better's pro-angiogenic properties than mesenchymal cells of the bone marrow (MSCs) and access to this reserve is easy since they can be obtained from extracted teeth. In this context, we have used dense collagen scaffolds seeded with DPSCs to regenerate cranial bone tissue on critical defects model. The objective is to induce a very early neo-angiogenesis for improved short-term survival of implanted cells, then stimulate the long-term maintenance of cells in the implanted neo-tissue, finally to cause osteoformation. We were able to study and validate various aspects of this theme: 1- The positive impact of the use of dense collagen scaffold as osteoconductive support, 2- Long-term follow-up of the cells after implantation in vivo (thanks to the use of a cell line constitutively expressing an intracellular fluorescence protein), 3- The positive impact of a pre-treatment with hypoxia on i/ the survival of the cells after implantation in vivo ii/ their contribution to bone regeneration / repair by orienting their differentiation towards an osteoblastic pathway, 4- The significant contribution of imaging techniques for the monitoring of animals (less sacrifice and longitudinal follow-up...) thanks to positron emission tomography (use of specific tracers of the mineralization within the scaffolds and neo-angiogenesis) and X-ray microscanner (kinetic monitoring of the quality and quantity of regenerated bone matrix) 5- Validation and confirmation of all these results by histology. Thus, these different results allowed us to respond to the working hypothesis and optimize some aspects of the cellular component. However, it remains necessary to optimize the biomaterial itself. It is indeed possible to improve the compressed collagen scaffolds that we currently use, for example by incorporating bioactive ceramics such as bioglasses or hydroxyapatite. In recent years, the study of stem cells has progressed from in vitro to in vivo. The in vivo models established to study these cells in the craniofacial area have already provided valuable information and this work is a continuation of these previous studies by seeking to build on better strategies (right characterization, environment oriented...) for the future use of DPSCs for tissue engineering purposes. In view of this work, potentiating the biomaterials of the scaffolds and combining the DPSCs with a support more adapted to their survival and their growth would considerably improve bone healing, as well as bone regeneration / repair

Full textThe objective of this work was to develop a 3D compartmented cell culture set-up that allow the differentiation of nerve cells and the growth of neurites in the matrix depth. Biomimetic materials enable the formation of controlled microenvironments that orient cell behavior. They are particularly interesting for fundamental studies that aim to study signaling pathways involved in physiologic or pathologic processes. We focused on Alzheimer's disease, in which dystrophic neurites are associated to amyloid plaques. No direct relationship has yet been established between Aβ aggregates-neurite interaction, neurite dystrophy and cell death. First, we described and characterized the structure and properties of fibrillar collagen matrices with adapted thickness. Then, we adjusted functionalization of these matrices with neurotrophic growth factors (NGF and BDNF). Two methods were studied: impregnation/release and covalent coupling. Cell morphology studies confirmed that these functionalized matrices were efficient supports for nerve cells differentiation (PC-12 and SH-SY5Y). Finally, we have characterized Aβ aggregates that were formed inside collagen matrices by coprecipitation of amyloid peptide and collagen and we studied their toxicity on neural cells

Full textIn this thesis, I provide models and numerical tools to better understand and predict the behavior and development of neuronal cultures and devices.Neuronal cultures have proven invaluable in improving our understanding of how the brain processes information, by enabling researchers to investigate neuronal and network response functions to various perturbations and stimuli.Furthermore, recent progress in microfluidics have opened the gate towards more elaborated neuronal devices, bringing us one step closer to complex signal processing with living in vitro neurons.In a first part, I propose a mechanism to explain the epileptiform bursts of activity present in cultures, mechanism which I formulate as a concise theoretical model. I subsequently test the predictions of this model on cultures and show that they are indeed compatible with the behavior observed in vitro.I further develop this description in the second part of the thesis, where I analyze its spatiotemporal dynamics and the fact that burst nucleate in specific areas in the network.Since predictions and analysis of these nucleation centers strongly depends on the network structure, I develop a simulation platform to enable efficient modeling of the network development. This software takes into account the interactions between the neurons and their environment and is the first platform to provide versatile and complete models to simulate the entire growth process of neurons. I demonstrate that this simulator is able to generate valid neuronal morphologies, then use it to propose new network topologies to describe neuronal cultures, as well as to reproduce existing neuronal devices. I then show that the activities sustained by these structures are compatible with the experimental recordings.Eventually, I discuss several future directions for which the use of neuronal devices would enable to circumvent current limitations of neuronal cultures, thus providing new information on the processes which underlie brain development and plasticity

Full textOur aim in this study was to evaluate the role of reactive oxygen species in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We showed that compared to normal endometrial cells from control patients, endometrial and endometriotic cells of patients with endometriosis have an increased proliferation rate, an increased oxidative stress, and a ROS metabolism similar to these observed in tumoral cells. Cellular proliferation was associated with the ERK pathway activation. Cellular proliferation was decreased, in vitro and in vivo in a murin model of endometriosis, by an antioxidant (N-acetylcystein), by protein kinase inhibitors (leflunomide, A771726, PD98059 and UP 126) and by 5-fluorouracil. These results allow clinical trials evaluating the use of ERK pathway inhibitors in the treatment off endometriosis

Full textThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the central nervous system (CNS) from plasma fluctuations of endogenous, but also exogenous molecules, including therapeutic molecules. The BBB’s restrictive properties are compensated by the presence of different mechanisms that provide transport of nutrients across the BBB, including transcytosis of endogenous ligands mediated by receptors. Our objective is to improve drug delivery across the BBB and we developed “vectors” that target different recpetors. During our thesis we developed and optimized cellular tools and approaches, in particular syngeneic in vitro models of the BBB and blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) from both rat and mouse, based on the co-culture of brain (BMECs) or spinal cord (SCMECs) microvascular endothelial cells (MECs) and astrocytes. Among the receptors we studied, we show that the LDL receptor (LDLR) is expressed at the apical plasma membrane of BMECs and confirmed that it is involved in transcytosis of LDL through the vesicular compartment, while avoiding the lysosomal compartment, further establishing its interest as a target receptor. We show that our vectors conjugated to an organic molecule or to a protein cargo are endocytosed by BMECs in a LDLR-dependent manner, avoid the lysosomal compartment and cross the BMEC monolayers. Finally, we developed BBB and BSCB in vitro models in inflammatory conditions, considering that MECs inflammation is associated with many CNS lesions and pathologies. These models will be useful to better understand the inflammatory processes of CNS endothelial cells and to evaluate vectorization strategies preferentially targeting CNS structures in pathological condition
