Résumé : International audience
This study aimed to identify factors associated with virological response (VR) to raltegravir (RAL)-containing regimens in 468 treatment-experienced but integrase inhibitor-naive HIV-1 patients receiving a RAL-containing regimen. VR was defined at Month 6 (M6) as HIV-1 RNA viral load (VL) <50 copies/mL. The impacts on VR of baseline integrase mutations, VL, CD4 count, genotypic sensitivity score for nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors, and the number of new antiretrovirals used for the first time associated with RAL were investigated. For patients with VL >50 copies/mL at M6, integrase mutations selected were characterised. Median baseline VL was 4.2 log(10)copies/mL (IQR 3.3-4.9 log(10) copies/mL) and CD4 count was 219 cells/mm(3) (IQR 96-368 cells/mm(3)). At M6, 71% of patients were responders. In multivariate analysis, baseline VL and CD4 count and ≥ 2 new antiretrovirals among darunavir, etravirine, maraviroc and enfuvirtide were associated with VR to RAL. Neither HIV-1 subtype nor baseline integrase polymorphisms were associated with VR to RAL. Among 63 failing patients at M6, selection of ≥ 1 change in the integrase gene was observed in 49 (77.8%), and 27/63 (42.9%) were considered as RAL-associated resistance mutations. Factors independently associated with the occurrence of ≥ 1 RAL-associated resistance mutation were VL at failure >3 log(10) and having no new drugs associated with RAL. RAL showed great potency in treatment-experienced patients. The number of new drugs associated with RAL was an important factor associated with VR. HIV-1 subtype and baseline integrase polymorphisms do not influence the RAL VR.

Résumé : International audience
The present study reports data on CO2-rich geothermal waters and their associated carbonate deposits from the SW part of the Permian Lodève Basin (South of France). Both waters and carbonates are enriched in 226Ra, with activities up to 2.2 Bq/L and 3.5 Bq/g respectively. A series of carbonate samples precipitated around the studied wells since 1990 were dated through the 226Ra-210Pb and 228Ra-228Th methods, and the results are discussed in a new Concordia diagram. While both methods give comparable dates for many samples, Ra-Pb ages are sometimes much older than Ra-Th ages. We propose that these discrepancies result from the adsorption of 222Rn daughter nuclides in such a Rn-rich environment. The (228Ra/226Ra)0 activity ratios calculated at the time of deposition are remarkably constant for about 12 years, suggesting the presence of a steady-state aquifer. The low (228Ra/226Ra)0 ratios (0.348 ± 0.008) are best explained if most of the Ra derives from the Cambrian carbonate series (mainly dolostone) underlying the Permian Basin, which have low Th/U and similar (228Ra/226Ra) ratios. This study suggests that Ra and other alkaline-earth elements do not necessarily originate from the rocks surrounding the deep geothermal reservoir, but rather may be introduced into the CO2-rich water during its transfer towards the surface and interaction with carbonate rocks.

Résumé : International audience
TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) is a well-known apoptosis inducer, which activates the extrinsic death pathway. TRAIL is pro-apoptotic on colon cancer cells, while not cytotoxic towards normal healthy cells. However, its clinical use is limited by cell resistance to cell death which occurs in approximately 50% of cancer cells. Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) are also known to specifically induce apoptosis of cancer cells. In accordance, we have shown that food grade dairy propionibacteria induce intrinsic apoptosis of colon cancer cells, via the production and release of SCFA (propionate and acetate) acting on mitochondria. Here, we investigated possible synergistic effect between Propionibacterium freudenreichii and TRAIL. Indeed, we hypothesized that acting on both extrinsic and intrinsic death pathways may exert a synergistic pro-apoptotic effect. Whole transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that propionibacterial supernatant or propionibacterial metabolites (propionate and acetate), in combination with TRAIL, increased pro-apoptotic gene expression (TRAIL-R2/DR5) and decreased anti-apoptotic gene expression (FLIP, XIAP) in HT29 human colon cancer cells. The revealed synergistic pro-apoptotic effect, depending on both death receptors (TRAIL-R1/DR4, TRAIL-R2/DR5) and caspases (caspase-8, -9 and -3) activation, was lethal on cancer cells but not on normal human intestinal epithelial cells (HIEC), and was inhibited by Bcl-2 expression. Finally, milk fermented by P. freudenreichii induced HT29 cells apoptosis and enhanced TRAIL cytotoxic activity, as did P. freudenreichii DMEM culture supernatants or its SCFA metabolites. These results open new perspectives for food grade P. freudenreichii-containing products in order to potentiate TRAIL-based cancer therapy in colorectal cancer

Résumé : International audience
We report the characterization of a DNA primase/ polymerase protein (PolpTN2) encoded by the pTN2 plasmid from Thermococcus nautilus. Sequence analysis revealed that this protein corresponds to a fusion between an N-terminal domain homologous to the small catalytic subunit PriS of heterodimeric archaeal and eukaryotic primases (AEP) and a C-terminal domain related to their large regulatory subunit PriL. This unique domain configuration is not found in other virus-and plasmid-encoded primases in which PriS-like domains are typically fused to different types of helicases. PolpTN2 exhibited primase, polymerase and nucleotidyl transferase activities and specifically incorporates dNTPs, to the exclusion of rNTPs. PolpTN2 could efficiently prime DNA synthesis by the T. nautilus PolB DNA polymerase, suggesting that it is used in vivo as a primase for pTN2 plasmid replication. The N-terminal PriS-like domain of PolpTN2 exhibited all activities of the full-length enzyme but was much less efficient in priming cellular DNA polymerases. Surprisingly, the N-terminal domain possesses reverse transcriptase activity. We speculate that this activity could reflect an ancestral function of AEP proteins in the transition from the RNA to the DNA world.

Résumé : New Caledonian shrimp farming feasibility studies started in the mid-seventies. Today ca. 2000 tons of Litopenaeus stylirostris, introduced in 1978, are semi-intensively produced each year. Since fifteen years, production has been impacted by two seasonal vibriosis, the “Summer” syndrome caused by Vibrio nigripulchritudo in relation to pond bottom and water column quality, and the “Winter Syndrome” caused by Vibrio penaeicida in relation to drastic temperature drops . With the ambition of elucidating processes possibly leading to mortality outbreaks in ponds, Ifremer has been conducting a research program since 2003 under the DESANS project (2003-2006) and the present DEDUCTION project, equally funded by the South and North Provinces and by the Government of New Caledonia. This program has been designed in a multidisciplinary approach integrating the suspected multifactorial origin of shrimp mortalities. Environment quality in ponds (either sediment or water column) plays a major role in the shrimp ecophysiological status, influencing sensitivity to pathogens . DEDUCTION focuses on a better knowledge of phytoplankton composition and biogeochemical fluxes at the sediment-water interface in ponds. Impact of farm discharges is also investigated. In addition, a more fundamental work is conducted to understand the pathogenicity mechanisms of these two Vibrio species but also to prevent the occurrence of viral infections through a RNA interference approach. Markers of the ecophysiological status of broodstock, larvae, post-larvae and reared animals, such as enzymes testifying from an oxidative stress, are developed. Gain of performance (resistance to pathogens and growth) were obtained on hybrids of the New Caledonian and introduced Hawaiian strains. Finally the database Stylog is exploited in view of discriminating “good” from “bad” rearings on the basis of relevant indicators.
Les études de faisabilité de l'aquaculture de crevettes ont débuté en Nouvelle-Calédonie dans les années soixante dix. Aujourd'hui environ 2000 tonnes de Litopenaeus stylirostris, introduite en 1978, sont produites chaque année de façon semi-intensive. Depuis quinze ans la production a été impactée par deux vibrioses : le syndrome d'été provoqué par Vibrio nigripulchritudo en relation avec la qualité de la tranche d'eau et des fonds de bassins et le syndrome d'hiver provoqué par Vibrio penaeicida en relation avec des chutes rapides de température. Dans le but d'élucider les processus entrainant des mortalités dans les élevages, Ifremer a conduit un programme de recherche depuis 2003 dans le cadre du projet DESANS (2003-2006) puis du présent projet DEDUCTION co-financé par les provinces Nord et Sud et le Gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ce programme se construit dans une démarche multidisciplinaire intégrant les origines supposées multifactorielles des mortalités de crevettes. La qualité environnementale dans les bassins (les fonds et la colonne d'eau) joue un rôle majeur dans l'état physiologique des animaux, influençant leur sensibilité aux pathogènes. DEDUCTION se focalise sur une meilleure compréhension de la composition phytoplanctonique et des flux bio-géochimiques à l'interface eau/sédiment dans les bassins.L'impact des rejets des fermes est également étudié. En outre, un travail plus fondamental est conduit pour connaître les mécanismes de pathogénicité de ces deux espèces de Vibrio mais aussi pour prévenir les occurences d'infections virales par des approches ARN Interférence. Des marqueurs de l'état physiologique des oeufs, larves, post-larves et animaux en élevage, tels que les enzymes du stress oxydant sont utilisés.Les gains de performance (résistance aux pathogènes et croissance) sont obtenus sur des hybrides issus du croisement de la souche locale avec une souche hawaienne. Finalement la base de données STYLOG est exploitée dans le but de distinguer les bonnes des mauvaises pratiques sur la base d'indicateurs fiables.

Résumé : International audience
Spermatogenesis is a complex and tightly regulated process leading to the continuous production of male gametes, the spermatozoa. This developmental process requires the sequential and coordinated expression of thousands of genes, including many that are testis-specific. The molecular networks underlying normal and pathological spermatogenesis have been widely investigated in recent decades, and many high-throughput expression studies have studied genes and proteins involved in male fertility. In this review, we focus on studies that have attempted to correlate transcription and translation during spermatogenesis by comparing the testicular transcriptome and proteome. We also discuss the recent development and use of new transcriptomic approaches that provide a better proxy for the proteome, from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives. Finally, we provide illustrations of how testis-derived transcriptomic and proteomic data can be integrated to address new questions and how the 'proteomics informed by transcriptomics' technique, by combining RNA-seq and MS-based proteomics, can contribute significantly to the discovery of new protein-coding genes or new protein isoforms expressed during spermatogenesis.

Résumé : International audience
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that mediates immunosuppression caused by a variety of environmental contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or dioxins. Recent evidence suggests that AhR plays an important role in T-cell-mediated immune responses by affecting the polarization and differentiation of activated T cells. However, the regulation of AhR expression in activated T cells remains poorly characterized. In the present study, we used purified human T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 Abs to investigate the effect of T-cell activation on AhR mRNA and protein expression. The expression of AhR mRNA increased significantly and rapidly after T-cell activation, identifying AhR as an immediate-early activation gene. AhR upregulation occurred in all of the T-cell subtypes, and is associated with its nuclear translocation and induction of the cytochromes P-450 1A1 and 1B1 mRNA expression in the absence of exogenous signals. In addition, the use of an AhR antagonist or siRNA-mediated AhR knockdown significantly inhibited IL-22 expression, suggesting that expression and functional activation of AhR is necessary for the secretion of IL-22 by activated T cells. In conclusion, our data support the idea that AhR is a major player in T-cell physiology.

Résumé : The interrogation of genetic markers in environmental meta-barcoding studies is currently seriously hindered by the lack of taxonomically curated reference data sets for the targeted genes. The Protist Ribosomal Reference database (PR2, http://ssurrna. org/) provides a unique access to eukaryotic small sub-unit (SSU) ribosomal RNA and DNA sequences, with curated taxonomy. The database mainly consists of nuclear-encoded protistan sequences. However, metazoans, land plants, macrosporic fungi and eukaryotic organelles (mitochondrion, plastid and others) are also included because they are useful for the analysis of hightroughput sequencing data sets. Introns and putative chimeric sequences have been also carefully checked. Taxonomic assignation of sequences consists of eight unique taxonomic fields. In total, 136 866 sequences are nuclear encoded, 45 708 (36 501 mitochondrial and 9657 chloroplastic) are from organelles, the remaining being putative chimeric sequences. The website allows the users to download sequences from the entire and partial databases (including representative sequences after clustering at a given level of similarity). Different web tools also allow searches by sequence similarity. The presence of both rRNA and rDNA sequences, taking into account introns (crucial for eukaryotic sequences), a normalized eight terms ranked-taxonomy and updates of new GenBank releases were made possible by a long-term collaboration between experts in taxonomy and computer scientists.

Résumé : L’Ifremer opère de façon coordonnée à l’échelle de l’ensemble du littoral métropolitain plusieurs réseaux de surveillance : le réseau de contrôle microbiologique (REMI), le réseau de surveillance du phytoplancton et des phycotoxines (REPHY), le réseau d’observation de la contamination chimique (ROCCH, ex-RNO) et le réseau de surveillance benthique (REBENT). Ils sont mis en oeuvre pour répondre aux objectifs environnementaux de la Directive Cadre sur l’Eau (DCE), aux obligations des Conventions régionales marines (OSPAR et Barcelone) et aux objectifs sanitaires réglementaires concernant le suivi de la salubrité des coquillages des zones de pêche et de production conchylicoles. La surveillance de la survie et de la croissance des mollusques est assurée par le Réseau Mollusques des Ressources Aquacoles (REMORA) qui est mis en place sur les 3 façades maritimes. Les réseaux de surveillance sont mis en oeuvre par les Laboratoires Environnement Ressources (LER) de l’Ifremer. Ils mettent également en oeuvre des réseaux de surveillance régionaux sur la côte d’Opale (SRN), le littoral normand (RHLN), le bassin d’Arcachon (ARCHYD) et les lagunes méditerranéennes (RSL-RLC), pour approfondir le diagnostic local. Ainsi, le dispositif de surveillance s’enrichit sur certains secteurs littoraux de résultats sur l’hydrologie soutenant l’évaluation de la qualité du milieu.

Résumé : International audience
Archaea may be involved in global energy cycles, and are known for their ability to interact with eukaryotic species (sponges, corals and ascidians) or as archaeal-bacterial consortia. The recently proposed phylum Thaumarchaeota may represent the deepest branching lineage in the archaeal phylogeny emerging before the divergence between Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota. Here we report the first characterization of two marine thaumarchaeal species from shallow waters that consist of multiple giant cells. One species is coated with sulfur-oxidizing g-Proteobacteria. These new uncultured thaumarchaeal species are able to live in the sulfide-rich environments of a tropical mangrove swamp, either on living tissues such as roots or on various kinds of materials such as stones, sunken woods, etc. These archaea and archaea/bacteria associations have been studied using light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Species identification of archaeons and the putative bacterial symbiont have been assessed by 16S small subunit ribosomal RNA analysis. The sulfur-oxidizing ability of the bacteria has been assessed by genetic investigation on alpha-subunit of the adenosine-5_- phosphosulfate reductase/oxidase's (AprA). Species identifications have been confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization using specific probes designed in this study. In this article, we describe two new giant archaeal species that form the biggest archaeal filaments ever observed. One of these species is covered by a specific biofilm of sulfur-oxidizing g-Proteobacteria. This study highlights an unexpected morphological and genetic diversity of the phylum Thaumarchaeota.

Résumé : International audience
Many studies have reported proliferative, differentiating or protective effects of estradiol, notably through estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). On the contrary, the ligand-independent action of ERα is currently poorly documented notably in cell protection. The stable transfection of wild type, substituted or truncated form of ERα in PC12 cells (ERα negative cell line) lead the specific study of its ligand-independent action. Hence, we demonstrate here that, in the absence of E2, the expression of ERα prevents cells from apoptosis induced by serum deprivation. This protection is not due to an ERE-mediated transcription and does not require either AF-1 or AF-2 transactivation functions. It is afforded to the Y537 residue of ERα and activation of c-Src/Stat3 signaling pathway.

Résumé : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the leading causes of hepatocellular carcinoma. Therapeutic treatment against the virus has been recently improved by a tritherapy including pegylated interferon, ribavirin and antiviral protease. Nevertheless, the importance of side effects and the emergence of resistant mutants require the development of new antivirals. In this context, our team has recently discovered that Type III phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4KIIIα and PI4KIIIβ) are essential for the propagation of the virus in a human hepatic cell line at the entry and replication steps. To further characterize these potential therapeutic targets, we investigate the implication of these kinases during the HCV entry, using primary human hepatocytes, a model closer to the in vivo conditions. Two lines of research were developed: Verification of the importance of the kinase activity of PI4KIIIs during HCV entry in primary human hepatocytes, through a chemical approach; Validation of the involvement of these kinases and their enzymatic activity during viral entry through a genetic approach based on RNA interference and phenotype rescue. In parallel, we studied the expression of PI4KIIIα in liver diseases. Our results suggest the involvement of PI4KIIIα in HCV entry; the involvement of PI4KIIIIβ needs to be confirmed. The analysis of PI4KIIIα expression in hepatocellular carcinoma led us to propose this kinase as a new molecular marker, which could improve the already established prognosis models and could lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches.
Le virus de l’hépatite C (VHC) est l’un des principaux facteurs étiologiques du carcinome hépatocellulaire. Le traitement des hépatites virales C a été récemment amélioré grâce à une trithérapie (interféron, ribavirine et anti-protéase virale). Néanmoins l’importance des effets secondaires et l’émergence de mutants résistants nécessitent de découvrir de nouveaux antiviraux. Dans ce contexte, notre équipe a récemment découvert que les phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases de type III (PI4KIIIα et PI4KIIIβ) étaient indispensables à la propagation du virus dans une lignée hépatique humaine, et ce, à 2 étapes de son cycle biologique : l’entrée et la réplication. L’objectif du présent travail était de poursuivre la validation de ces nouvelles cibles thérapeutiques potentielles, en approfondissant nos connaissances sur la dépendance du virus à l’égard de ces kinases au cours de son entrée. Pour cela, nous avons utilisé le modèle des hépatocytes humains primaires, système in vitro plus proche du contexte physiologique que les modèles utilisés jusqu’à présent et qui étaient basés sur l’exploitation de lignées. Deux axes ont été développés : Vérification de l’importance de l’activité kinase des PI4KIIIs au cours de l’entrée du VHC dans les hépatocytes humains primaires, à travers une approche chimique ; Validation de l’implication de ces kinases et de leur activité enzymatique au cours de l’entrée virale grâce à une approche génétique basée sur l’ARN interférence et la restauration de phénotype. En parallèle, nous avons étudié l’expression de PI4KIIIα au cours de pathologies hépatiques. Nos résultats suggèrent une implication de PI4KIIIα au cours de l’entrée du VHC dans les hépatocytes humains primaires, mais restent à confirmer quant à l’implication de PI4KIIIβ. Par ailleurs, l’analyse de l’expression de PI4KIIIα dans le carcinome hépatocellulaire (CHC) conduit à proposer cette kinase comme un nouveau marqueur moléculaire, qui pourrait améliorer les modèles de pronostic déjà établis et pourrait conduire au développement de nouvelles approches thérapeutiques pour les patients atteints d’un CHC, quelque soit l’étiologie.
