Texto completoMRI markers of cerebral atrophy and cerebrovascular disease, such as white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and dilated Virchow‐Robin spaces (dVRS), are frequently observed in the elderly, and their severity is associated with an increased risk of dementia and many other neurological complications. Inflammation is a risk factor that has been frequently studied in relation to diverse vascular pathologies. We aimed then to study the question as to whether inflammation is associated with brain MRI findings in the general elderly population. Our analyses were based on a sample of 1841 participants aged 65 to 80 years from the 3C‐dijon Study. Our cross‐sectional analyses have shown that increasing levels of IL‐6 are associated with (1) a decrease in gray matter and hippocampal volume; (2) a higher load of total and periventricular WMH; and (3) a higher severity of dVRS in basal ganglia. A similar pattern was observed for CRP levels, although the progression seemed irregular and confined to the highest levels, contrary to the dose‐response relationship pattern exhibited by IL‐6. These associations were independent of potential risk factors. Our results suggest that a peripheral inflammatory response may participate in the changes accompanying neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases during aging. These findings could open new perspectives for the elucidation of their pathophysiology, as well as specific mechanisms linked to the development of dementia

Texto completoC-reactive protein is now considered as an essential biomarker for predicting the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and their acute complications through mechanisms that are not fully elucidated. We investigated CRP effects on several aspects of the biology of ex vivo human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and monocytes. In fact, these cells can be involved in the pathophysiology of these diseases. Also, we used the promonocytic line THP-1. These three cellular types were incubated with purified or recombinant CRP and gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and (pro)MMP-9 was analysed by real time semi-quantitative PCR and protein expression by immunometric or ELISA tests. CRP doesn’t seem to act upon neither the tested cytokines synthesis nor the (pro)MMP-9 expression. A global approach by protein array with the cultured monocytes supernatants showed that CRP induced VEGF-A protein synthesis. This result was confirmed at transcriptional level by RT-PCR and at protein level by ELISA. A complementary study with the monocytic cell line THP-1 demonstrated the activation of PI3-Kinase and MEK pathways but not of p38MAPKinase pathway in this regulation. These results provide insight into several mechanisms that could transform the statistical association between CRP and cardiovascular diseases into a cause-to-effect relationship. Some of these mechanisms could represent therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases

Texto completoSchizophrenia is an illness characterized by positive symptoms (delusions and hallucinations), negative symptoms (reduced emotional expression, alogia, apragmatism, reduced social engagement) and disorganized symptoms (cognitive and affective). This pathology is also associated to cognitive and perceptual alterations and to quality of life alterations. The physiopathology of schizophrenia is still unclear. Recently, papers put forward the central role of chronic inflammatory process in pathophysiology of this psychiatric disorder. In particular, CRP (C-Reactive Protein), a nonspecific marker of chronic inflammation and easy to measure with blood sample, was shown to be increased in schizophrenia. CRP is connected to clinical symptomatology and to cognitive alterations in patients with schizophrenia. However the connection between alterations of perception, quality of life and CRP remains to be explored

Texto completoObject : Inflammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Non specific inflammation biomarkers, such as C-Reactive Protein (CRP), are associated with a higher risk of developing atherosclerosis or other acute complications. By its capacity to differentiate into macrophages and to interact with other cells monocytes play a key role in atherogenesis. In order to better understand the causal link between CRP and atherosclerosis, we studied the effects of CRP on several aspects of human monocyte biology. Material and methods : Monocytes isolated from peripheral blood of healthy men (n=9) and healthy premenopausal women (n=9), were purified by Ficoll and CD14 positive selection, cultured over night then exposed to purified CRP (25 µg/ml) for 12 or 24h. A custom-made oligonucleotide array of 250 genes was used to analyse gene expression profiles of monocytes exposed or not to CRP. Changes in gene expression were confirmed by quantitative PCR and western blot. Results and Discussion : Our results show CRP increased pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1 and IL-6) and chemokine (IL-8 and Gro-beta) expression. In contrast, CRP decreased MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta and alpha-2 macro-globuline expression. Furthermore, we were able to report, for the first time, that CRP increased gene expression of Liver X receptor (LXR) alpha, a transcription factor whose role in atherosclerosis has only recently been shown. Using western blot, we showed that the increased LXR alpha gene expression was followed by its nuclear translocation. In conclusion, this thesis suggests that CRP may have both pro and anti-inflammatory effects on the human monocyte ex-vivo. Our results argue in favor of an anti-atherogenic role of CRP, at least in part by its new effect on LXR alpha

Texto completoMetabolic fatty liver diseases are common and associated with insulin resistance and visceral obesity. Chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with obesity and its metabolic complications. A cohort of morbidly obese patients (body mass index up to 40kg/m²) treated by bariatric surgery has been characterized. Liver, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies have been collected. C reactive protein (CRP) and hepcidin, two acute phase proteins have been studied. Adipose tissue is a new source of production of CRP and hepcidin. IL6 is implicated in both productions. High hepcidin production in morbidly obese patients could be implicated in the increased prevalence of iron depletion observed in 53% patients. Systemic inflammation and iron depletion are both improved 6 months after bariatric surgery

Texto completoRuxolitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) 1/2 inhibitor currently used for the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms. It shows anti-inflammatory properties, but the involved molecular and cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood. The regulatory effects of ruxolitinib on the expression of inflammatory markers and drug-detoxifying proteins were investigated in different cellular models through these studies. In human macrophages, ruxolitinib represses the expression of inflammatory cytokines secondarily induced by the IFNβ signalling pathway, in response to LPS. Similarly, ruxolitinib inhibits the expression of acute phase proteins induced in human hepatocytes and in the HepaRG cell line. It also notably represses the expression of CRP secondarily induced by the IL6 signalling pathway, in response to LPS. Moreover, ruxolitinib restores the expression and activity of hepatic drug-detoxifying proteins inhibited in inflammatory conditions. In these studies, ruxolitinib is shown to be efficient at concentrations which can be reached in patients. Altogether, these results show that, firstly, as its anti-inflammatory properties are shown throughout different cellular models, ruxolitinib could be interesting for the treatment of various inflammatory pathologies. Also, clinical use could restore hepatic detoxification capacity for patients suffering from inflammatory diseases and therefor require dose adjustments for associated drugs which metabolism could be regulated by inflammation

Texto completoAbstract: The binding of retinol to native β-Lactoglobulin (β-Lg) or phosphocasein (PC) micelles at pH close to neutral was studied at atmospheric pressure or under isostatic high-pressure. The dissociation constants and number of binding sites were calculated indicating that difference in retinol affinity depended on protein structure. At 25°C, pressure level < 150 MPa promoted β-Lgretinol association (β-Lg/retinol molar ratio: 1/1). At ≥ 150 MPa, the complex dissociated. At 350 MPa, β-Lg was denatured and the complex irreversibly dissociated. PC and retinol (PC/retinol molar ratio: 1/1) remained associated after pressurisation at 400 MPa and 25°C, while pressure induced dissociation/reassociation phenomena of micelle assemblies. The binding of retinol to PC stabilised micelles towards pressure, as well as moderate temperature of pressurisation (35°C) compared to lower temperature (15°C).A whey protein isolate (WPI) dispersed in water at 10% (w/w) proteins (pH 6.5) in the presence of retinyl acetate (RetAc) (β-Lg/RetAc molar ratio: 10/1) was processed by (i) isostatic high-pressure (HP) (350 MPa, 25°C, 15 min), (ii) short-time thermal treatment (STTT) (75°C, 4 s) or (iii) ultra-high pressure homogenisation (UHPH) (300 MPa, Tin = 24°C). All processing produced β-Lg aggregates able to retain RetAc, but with different efficiency depending on aggregation mechanisms induced by heating (STTT), isostatic high-pressure (HP) or dynamic high-pressure (UHPH). Phosphocaseins dispersed at 2.38% (w/w) proteins (pH 6.6) in the presence of RetAc (PC/RetAc molar ratio: 5/1) were processed by (i) HP (300 MPa, 14°C or 34°C, 15 min), or (ii) UHPH (300 MPa, Tin = 14°C). Both treatments promoted RetAc retention by phosphocasein micelles that can be used as cargoes to transport bioactive molecules.Keywords: isostatic high-pressure, dynamic high-pressure, ultra-high pressure homogenisation, fluorescence, β-Lactoglobulin, phosphocasein micelles, retinol, retinyl acetate, protein aggregates, protein-ligand binding.Discipline: Biochimie, Chimie et Technologie des Aliments.Thèse préparée à : Université Montpellier 2 – Equipe de Biochimie et Technologie Alimentaire – UMR IATE 1208 – Pôle EVAP – Place E.

Texto completoHistone H2AX is a H2A variant histone that is ubiquitously expressed throughout the genome and important to preserve genomic stability. Its phosphorylation (-H2AX) is a key event in the DNA damage response and repair. Here, we unravel a new regulation of H2AX by oxidative stress. Indeed, we observe that persistent accumulation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) reduces H2AX protein levels in various physiological situations of chronic oxidative stress including cells and organs from mouse models deficient for key redox factors such as junD and Nrf2 as well as normal aging. Long-term anti-oxidant treatment prevents H2AX down-regulation in this model System, confirming ROS are central in that process. Persistent accumulation of ROS targets the nucleoplasmic form of H2AX for degradation and significantly reduces the total levels of H2AX associated with the chromatin. Down-regulation of H2AX by ROS accounts for the reduced levels of phosphorylated H2AX detected following genotoxic stresses and further promotes genetic instability. Furthermore, we found that total H2AX protein level is significantly higher in the stroma and epithelium of human breast cancer subtypes with a good prognosis, as compared with aggressive subtypes, characterized -among others- by oxidative stress signatures. Finally, chemo- and radiotherapy, well known to act through increases in ROS levels, also markedly reduce total H2AX protein levels in human breast tumours. Interestingly, the more H2AX levels are reduced, the better is the response of the patient to treatment. Thus, the extent of H2AX down-regulation in response to treatment appears to be a predictive biomarker for therapeutic outcome. Taken together, our data uncover a new mechanism for H2AX regulation by ROS, which provides new insights into the origin of genetic instability in cells and tissues suffering from chronic oxidative stress

Texto completoMicrotubule-Targeting Agents (MTA) are a broad group of anticancer drugs that are currently administered in a lot of cancers. Nevertheless, they can cause undesired side effects and can lose their effectiveness as a result of resistance development. The main objective of my PhD work was to characterize the MTA’s mechanism of action in order to optimize their administration in the future. In the first part, we demonstrated the important role of the kinase Akt in MTA effects. In the second part, we evaluated the interest to combine MTA with anti-Akt drugs. We observed that MTA efficacy is highly important with Akt targeting drugs, particularly in lung adenocarcinoma. These promising results will need further explorations in order to develop more convenient cancer therapy strategies

Texto completoAtherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in western countries and the major complication of metabolic syndrome. It is now widely accepted that atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and that inflammation plays a major pathogenic role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic disease. It has been demonstrated that increased serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a protein of the acute phase and a major constituent of the innate immune response, is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and that, in both healthy subjects and diabetic patients, high CRP enhances the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Several evidences suggest that CRP may not only be a cardiovascular risk marker but may also represent a direct pro-atherogenic factor. Endothelial dysfunction is a characteristic feature of early-state atherosclerosis and a role of CRP in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction has been proposed. In addition to its systemic origin, CRP is produced in atherosclerotic lesions and by various vascular cells, including endothelial cells. To elucidate the role of CRP in endothelial dysfunction associated with the metabolic syndrome, we studied the regulation of endothelial CRP expression by free fatty acids (FFA) and the role of endothelial CRP as mediator of the inhibitory effect of FFA on nitric oxide (NO) production. Our results demonstrated that: 1) Palmitic acid (PA) induced CRP gene expression in cultured human arterial endothelial cells (HAECs) and increased CRP protein expression in a dose-dependent manner; 2) Pretreatment of HAECs with antioxidants and inhibitors of i) protein kinase C (PKC), ii) nuclear factor-kappa B, iii) Janus kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription and iv) mitogen-activated protein kinases prevented the stimulatory effect of PA on CRP protein and gene expression; 3) Treatment of HAECs by PA led to an increased production of reactive oxygen species, an effect prevented by PKC inhibitors and by AICAR (5-amino-4-imidazole carboxamide 1-β-D-ribofuranoside), an AMP- activated protein kinase activator; 4) Decreased production of NO was finally observed in PA-treated HAECs, an effect prevented by preincubating endothelial cells with an anti-CRP. Overall, these data indicate a stimulatory effect of PA on endothelial CRP expression through the activation of oxidative stress-sensitive kinases and transcription factors. They further suggest a role of CRP in FFA-induced endothelial dysfunction.

Texto completoNumerous studies have contributed to reveal the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. This disease is mediated by an important homeostatic imbalance, which causes vascular inflammation contributing to its progression. Several research groups have focused their studies on inflammatory biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP). Considered as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, it also participates in various stages of atherosclerosis development. Our study shows for the first time a process of self-induction of the CRP expression regulated by vascular EC. This mechanism represents a new potential therapeutic target for the prevention of atherosclerosis formation. Estrogen (E2) is a female hormone which has an atheroprotective role through various vascular regulation mechanisms including modulation of the inflammatory response. Thus, we sought to determine whether it had a beneficial effect on atherogenic profile of CRP expressed by endothelial cells (EC). Indeed, our work has demonstrated for the first time that E2 has the ability to modulate the CRP expression positive feedback identified in our study, which also helps to reduce the inflammatory profile of the latter. In addition, we determined that E2 restores an important proangiogenic response involving migration of vascular EC to VEGF, by countering the inhibition effect of CRP. This new discovery has enabled us to clarify an important vascular healing mechanism of this hormone in an inflammatory context. Thus, these data provide further advances that contribute to a better understanding of the endogenous CRP production by vascular EC and the cardioprotective activity of E2.

Texto completoBackground : Recent studies suggest that colchicine reduces cardiovascular risk. The COLPET Study evaluated the impact of colchicine on vascular inflammation, as measured by PET/CT, in patients with stable CAD. Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II clinical trial, patients were treated for 24 weeks with a daily tablet of colchicine 0.6 mg or placebo. Vascular inflammation was assessed by uptake of 18F-FDG in the ascending aorta and carotid arteries on PET/CT at baseline and at the end of study drug therapy. The primary outcome was the change in the mean of maximal target-to-background ratio of the image slices of the ascending aorta (Mean MAX TBR). Secondary outcomes included various PET/CT parameters, as well as serial measures of inflammatory biomarkers, such as hs-CRP. Results: A total of 111 patients were randomized, with 56 in the placebo group and 55 in the colchicine group. Colchicine had no significant impact on the primary outcome (change in mean: 0.051; IC95% : -0.016 à 0.117; p=0.1346) or any of the PET/CT secondary outcomes. In contrast, patients treated with colchicine presented a decrease of 28% in hs-CRP levels (p=0.0026). Conclusion: Colchicine therapy for 24 weeks had no significant impact on vascular uptake of 18F-FDG in the ascending aorta or carotid arteries. However, a reduction of 28% in hs-CRP was observed in the colchicine group. The Colchicine Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial (COLCOT) is a multicenter randomized phase III trial, currently under way, evaluating the long-term cardiovascular benefits of therapy with colchicine (0.5 mg daily) when begun less than thirty days following acute myocardial infarction.
