Description : Dans cet article, l'intervenant a l'intention de soutenir la performativité d'une fugacité en restant à l'écart des routes de la quintessence. Ce sera une manière de dégonfler certains clichés qui ont encore un avantage critique dans le discours académique. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il s'intéressera à la temporalité de l'hybridité et mettra l'accent sur des périodes ou des « moments » particuliers qui peuvent avoir un effet déclencheur sur la mutation de l'identité. On pourrait définir le « moment esthétique caribéen hybride » comme étant celui qui qualifie le sujet d'une véritable expérience d'aliénation. En tant que tel, il devient d'autant plus sensé d'accepter, comme on est prêt à subir l'expérience. Partant de ces prémisses, on peut se demander qu'est-ce que l'hybridité ? L'hybride est-il la synthèse d'essences différentes ou simplement le mélange de divers éléments biologiques, culturels et politiques ? Le métissage peut-il brouiller les différences troublantes ou rappeler la perte irréversible de l'origine, tout en appelant à l'avènement des chronotopes mutants polymorphes ?

Résumé : International audience
Two genome-wide association studies (GWASs) recently highlighted the HLA-DRA and HLA-DRB5 genes as associated with Parkinson disease (PD). However, because HLA-DRA displays a low level of polymorphisms and HLA-DRB5 is only present in approximately 20% of the population, these findings are difficult to interpret. Our aims were: (1) to replicate and investigate in greater detail the association between PD and the HLA-DR region; (2) to identify PD-associated HLA alleles; and (3) to perform a meta-analysis of our top finding. As part of 2 French population-based case-control studies of PD including highly ethnically homogeneous participants, we investigated the association between PD and 51 Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HLA-DR region. HLA-DRB1 alleles were imputed using the HLA(*) IMP software. HLA typing was performed in a subsample of the participants. We performed a meta-analysis of our top finding based on 4 GWAS data sets. Among 499 cases and 1123 controls, after correction for multiple testing, we found an association with rs660895 (OR/minor allele, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.57-0.87) within the HLA-DRB1 gene, which encodes the most polymorphic HLA-DR chain (DRβ). A meta-analysis (7996 cases, 36455 controls) confirmed this association (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.82-0.91; P < .0001). SNP-based imputation of HLA alleles showed an inverse association between PD and the HLA-DRB1(*) 04 allele. We replicated an association between PD and the HLA-DR region and provided further insight into the loci and alleles involved. The highly polymorphic HLA-DRB1 locus contains rs660895, which represents a more legitimate candidate than previous ones. Our finding is in agreement with the hypothesis of an immune component in PD pathophysiology. © 2012 Movement Disorder Society.

Résumé : Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are widely used tools for inferences about genetic diversity, phylogeography and spatial genetic structure. Their applications assume that variation among alleles is essentially caused by an expansion or contraction of the number of repeats and that, accessorily, mutations in the target sequences follow the stepwise mutation model (SMM). Generally speaking, PCR amplicon sizes are used as direct indicators of the number of SSR repeats composing an allele with the data analysis either ignoring the extent of allele size differences or assuming that there is a direct correlation between differences in amplicon size and evolutionary distance. However, without precisely knowing the kind and distribution of polymorphism within an allele (SSR and the associated flanking region (FR) sequences), it is hard to say what kind of evolutionary message is conveyed by such a synthetic descriptor of polymorphism as DNA amplicon size. In this study, we sequenced several SSR alleles in multiple populations of three divergent tree genera and disentangled the types of polymorphisms contained in each portion of the DNA amplicon containing an SSR. The patterns of diversity provided by amplicon size variation, SSR variation itself, insertions/deletions (indels), and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) observed in the FRs were compared. Amplicon size variation largely reflected SSR repeat number. The amount of variation was as large in FRs as in the SSR itself. The former contributed significantly to the phylogenetic information and sometimes was the main source of differentiation among individuals and populations contained by FR and SSR regions of SSR markers. The presence of mutations occurring at different rates within a marker's sequence offers the opportunity to analyse evolutionary events occurring on various timescales, but at the same time calls for caution in the interpretation of SSR marker data when the distribution of within-locus polymorphism is not known.

Résumé : We report a preliminary analysis on the relationships between drainage basin structure and genetic structure of populations of the European vector of fasciolosis, Galba truncatula. In the study area, 251 snails belonging to 12 populations were collected along different ditches of a same river network. Each snail was genotyped at six variable microsatellite loci. Our results show that all sample sites are characterized by a low level of polymorphism and a very high and significant heterozygote deficiency. Our data reveal a significant genetic differentiation, even at a small scale, and failed to delimit clear patterns of isolation by euclidian distance. Our study shows that genetic differentiation significantly increases with hydrographic distance along the streams (p < 0.002), in consistence with the hypothesis that dispersion along the stream is dependent on the direction of water flow. This study shows that relationships can exist between the organization of the hydrological network and population biology of a disease vector, which has strong potential applications to drainage network management issues.

Résumé : International audience
Schistosome infection is a major public health concern affecting millions of people living in tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and South America. Schistosomes cause mild clinical symptoms in most subjects, whereas a small proportion of individuals presents severe clinical disease (as periportal fibrosis (PPF)) that may lead to death. Severe PPF results from an abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix proteins in the periportal spaces due to a chronic inflammation triggered by eggs and schistosome Ags. Extracellular matrix protein production is regulated by a number of cytokines, including IFN-gamma. We have now screened putative polymorphic sites within this gene in a population living in an endemic area for Schistosoma mansoni. Two polymorphisms located in the third intron of the IFN-gamma gene are associated with PPF. The IFN-gamma +2109 A/G polymorphism is associated with a higher risk for developing PPF, whereas the IFN-gamma +3810 G/A polymorphism is associated with less PPF. The polymorphisms result in changes in nuclear protein interactions with the intronic regions of the gene, suggesting that they may modify IFN-gamma mRNA expression. These results are consistent with the results of previous studies. Indeed, PPF is controlled by a major locus located on chromosome 6q22-q23, closely linked to the gene encoding the alpha-chain of the IFN-gamma receptor, and low IFN-gamma producers have been shown to have an increased risk of severe PPF. Together, these observations support the view that IFN-gamma expression and subsequent signal transduction play a critical role in the control of PPF in human hepatic schistosome infection (S. mansoni).

Résumé : International audience
A hybrid linear ion-trap Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer was used for top-down characterization of the abundant human salivary Cystatins, including S, S1, S2, SA, SN, C, and D, using collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) after chromatographic purification of the native, disulfide intact proteins from saliva. Post-translational modifications and protein sequence polymorphisms arising from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were assigned from precursor and product ion masses at a tolerance of 10 ppm allowing confident identification of individual intact mass tags. Cystatins S, S1, S2, SA and SN were cleaved of a N-terminal 20 amino-acid signal peptide, and Cystatin C a 26-residue peptide, to yield a generally conserved N-terminus. In contrast, Cystatin D isoforms with 24 and 28 amino-acid residue N-terminal truncations were found such that their N-termini were not conserved. Cystatin S1 was phosphorylated at Ser3, while S2 was phosphorylated at Ser1 and Ser3 of the mature protein, in agreement with previous work. Both Cystatin D isoforms carried the polymorphism C46R (SNP: rs1799841). The 14328 Da isoform of Cystatin SN previously assigned with polymorphism P31L due to a SNP (rs2070856) was found only in whole saliva. Parotid secretions contained no detectable Cystatins while whole saliva largely mirrored the contents of submandibular/sublingual (SMSL) secretions. Top-down high-resolution mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for the identification and characterization of potential protein biomarkers in saliva.

Résumé : Previous studies have shown heritable variation in larval developmental traits in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. In order to study the genetic consequences of production of oyster larvae in hatcheries, two factors, specific to hatcheries, were examined: the effect of discarding the smallest larvae (i.e. culling) and the effect of temperature (20°C versus 26°C). A mixed-family approach was used in order to infer the genetic composition of larval populations and family assignment, limiting possible environmental bias and allowing the study of a relatively large number of families using a limited number of larval tanks. Our results show that three multiplexed highly polymorphic microsatellite markers are a powerful tool for family assignment and, consequently, for the study of bivalve larvae genetics. Culling, by selective sieving of the smallest larvae is an advantageous practice at a phenotypic scale as it reduced variance in larval size, variance of developmental rate and time to settlement. Culling of 50% of the larval population only led to 15% less spat, showing a positive phenotypic correlation between larval growth and settlement success. However, culling represents a substantial risk for diversity loss, because it increases the variance of reproductive success among parental oysters. The effective population sizes of early settling cohorts of settlement were lower than those of later ones. Our results show that the settlement of slow growing larvae significantly contributes to minimizing the variability of reproductive success and therefore to maximizing genetic diversity. These results corroborate the low estimations of variability of broodstocks sampled in several French commercial hatcheries, relative to natural populations. The genetic composition of the larval population and the resulting spat was significantly different between the two tested temperatures, revealing genotype x environment interaction for survival. Similarly, genotype x environment interaction was also observed for larval growth as a higher temperature exerted a positive influence on the expression of genetic variability for this trait. Consequently, we can conclude that a temperature of 26°C coupled with culling, to common practice in oyster hatcheries, is likely to amplify the selection pressure for fast growing larvae. To test for this hypothesis, we compared larval developmental traits in the progeny of a hatchery broodstock closed for 7 generations, with the progeny of wild oysters and the two possible hybrids. Our results show that selection of fast growing larvae can counteract presumed inbreeding depression, due to higher mean relatedness among hatchery broodstock than in the wild. Genetic effects of intensive rearing conditions at larval stage are significant and should be taken into account in hatchery practices, especially in terms of genetic diversity management.
Afin d'étudier les conséquences génétiques des pratiques de production en écloserie d'huître creuse, deux facteurs ont été examinés : l'élimination des petites larves et la température. Nos résultats montrent que l'assignation de parenté par marqueurs microsatellites est un outil performant pour les études génétiques en phase larvaire de familles élevées en mélange. Bien qu'avantageux d'un point de vue phénotypique, le tamisage sélectif représente un risque de perte de diversité. La fixation des larves à croissance lente permet en effet de minimiser la variabilité du succès reproducteur et de fait, de maximiser la variabilité génétique. Ces résultats corroborent les estimations de variabilité sur les stocks d'écloseries françaises où l'on constate une diversité allélique inférieure à celle de populations issues du milieu naturel. La température exerce également une influence sur la précocité de l'expression de la variabilité génétique pour la croissance larvaire. Ainsi une température élevée associée à une procédure de tamisage peut amplifier l'effet sélectif. Enfin, la sélection de larves à croissance rapide semble démontrée, s'opposant à la dépression de consanguinité présumée. Les conditions d'élevage peuvent donc avoir un effet génétique significatif qui devrait être pris en considération dans les pratiques d'écloserie, notamment dans la gestion de la diversité génétique.

Résumé : International audience
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether the glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms GSTM1 and/or GSTT1 contribute to prostate cancer risk in a Caribbean population of African descent in Guadeloupe. METHODS: We performed a hospital-based case-control study with 134 prostate cancer patients and 134 cancer-free, age-matched control subjects. Epidemiologic data were collected using a standard questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and compute confidence intervals (CIs). Genotypes were determined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The frequency of the GSTM1-positive genotype was 81% in patients and 73% in control subjects, with an adjusted OR of 1.4 (95% CI 0.7 to 2.5). The frequency of the GSTT1-positive genotype was 78% in patients and 63% in control subjects, with an adjusted OR of 2.6 (95% CI 1.4 to 4.9). CONCLUSIONS: A functional GSTT1 polymorphism may be associated with prostate cancer susceptibility in a Caribbean population of African descent.

Résumé : International audience
Exposure to solvents during pregnancy has long been suspected to increase the risk of congenital malformations. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are enzymes essential for the detoxification of various chemicals. Our objective here was to assess whether GST polymorphisms might modify the association between maternal solvent exposure and the risk of birth defects. A prospective cohort included 3421 pregnant women in Brittany, France (2002-2006). Occupational exposure to solvents was assessed from a job-exposure matrix. Congenital malformations were diagnosed among livebirths, stillbirths, and medical pregnancy terminations. Using a nested case-control design, 32 babies with major birth defects were compared to 348 normal births for babies' cord blood genotypes (at GSTT1 and GSTM1) and maternal occupational solvent exposure. Logistic models were used to adjust for potential confounders. The risk of major defects increased significantly in women with solvent exposure (20% of controls and 34% of cases). Frequencies of the null genotype of both the GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes were similar among controls and cases. There was a significantly increased risk of birth defects in GSTM1 not-null cord-blood genotype in pregnancies exposed to solvents (odds ratio [OR], 1.0 for not-null, not-exposed; OR, 4.0 for not-null, exposed; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-11.2; OR, 1.6 for null, not-exposed; 95% CI, 0.6-3.9; OR, 1.0 for null, exposed; 95% CI, 0.2-4.7; p = 0.05). This nested case-control study suggests that the child's GSTM1 genotype modifies the risk of major birth defects among offspring of solvent-exposed women. Replication and additional investigations are necessary to confirm and elucidate these findings.

Résumé : International audience
In the literature, the enamelin gene ENAM has been repeatedly designated as a possible candidate for caries susceptibility. Here, we checked whether ENAM variants could increase caries susceptibility. To this aim, we sequenced coding exons and exon-intron boundaries of ENAM in 250 children with a severe caries phenotype and in 149 caries-free patients from 9 French hospital groups. In total, 23 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found, but none appeared to be responsible for a direct change of ENAM function. Six SNPs had a high minor allele frequency (MAF) and 6 others were identified for the first time. Statistical and evolutionary analyses showed that none of these SNPs was associated with caries susceptibility or caries protection when studied separately and challenged with environmental factors. However, haplotype interaction analysis showed that the presence, in a same variant, of 2 exonic SNPs (rs7671281 and rs3796704; MAF 0.12 and 0.10, respectively), both changing an amino acid in the protein region encoded by exon 10 (p.I648T and p.R763Q, respectively), increased caries susceptibility 2.66-fold independent of the environmental risk factors. These findings support ENAM as a gene candidate for caries susceptibility in the studied population.

Résumé : [b]Background[/b][br/] [br/] The Amazonian rainforest is predicted to suffer from ongoing environmental changes. Despite the need to evaluate the impact of such changes on tree genetic diversity, we almost entirely lack genomic resources.[br/] [br/] [b]Results[/b][br/] [br/] In this study, we analysed the transcriptome of four tropical tree species (Carapa guianensis, Eperua falcata, Symphonia globulifera and Virola michelii) with contrasting ecological features, belonging to four widespread botanical families (respectively Meliaceae, Fabaceae, Clusiaceae and Myristicaceae). We sequenced cDNA libraries from three organs (leaves, stems, and roots) using 454 pyrosequencing. We have developed an R and bioperl-based bioinformatic procedure for de novo assembly, gene functional annotation and marker discovery. Mismatch identification takes into account single-base quality values as well as the likelihood of false variants as a function of contig depth and number of sequenced chromosomes. Between 17103 (for Symphonia globulifera) and 23390 (for Eperua falcata) contigs were assembled. Organs varied in the numbers of unigenes they apparently express, with higher number in roots. Patterns of gene expression were similar across species, with metabolism of aromatic compounds standing out as an overrepresented gene function. Transcripts corresponding to several gene functions were found to be over- or underrepresented in each organ. We identified between 4434 (for Symphonia globulifera) and 9076 (for Virola surinamensis) well-supported mismatches. The resulting overall mismatch density was comprised between 0.89 (S. globulifera) and 1.05 (V. surinamensis) mismatches/100 bp in variation-containing contigs.[br/] [br/] [b]Conclusion[/b][br/] [br/] The relative representation of gene functions in the four transcriptomes suggests that secondary metabolism may be particularly important in tropical trees. The differential representation of transcripts among tissues suggests differential gene expression, which opens the way to functional studies in these non-model, ecologically important species. We found substantial amounts of mismatches in the four species. These newly identified putative variants are a first step towards acquiring much needed genomic resources for tropical tree species.

Résumé : In a context of decline of European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) and search for biological markers of habitat use and quality, a multidisciplinary approach was engaged on the Adour estuary and its associated wetlands. Two axes were developed. The first axe aimed at highlighting the successive presence of the species in different ecosystems based on the otolith elemental composition. The second aimed at the evaluation of the chemical pressure underwent by eels based on the contaminant bioconcentration in soft tissues and the early molecular response to the chemical stress. With a view to the analyses of otolith elemental composition taking into account the 3D structure, the low elemental concentration in the matrix and keeping the finest spatial resolution, four micro sampling strategies and multi elemental analyses using femtosecond laser ablation ICP-MS were tested (crater, 1D scan, 2D scan, flash ablation). The strategy showing the best compromise according to the objectives (continuous recording, multi elemental approach) was applied on otolith of yellow eels from the Adour. The simultaneous use of Sr and Ba profiles, after validation, represents a new tool, easy, fast and reliable for the reconstruction of freshwater and brackish ecosystems use by eel avoiding misinterpretation due to vaterite inclusions. Three major behaviors were highlighted on the Adour: a residency in brackish water, a residency in freshwater and nomad behavior. The last one is illustrated by a shift to brackish water after three to four years spent in freshwater. Simultaneously, the study of inorganic and organic contamination of eel soft tissues showed that sampled wetlands are moderately contaminated. These results were confirmed by the first estimation, in wild conditions, of the early response to the chemical stress using the hepatic expression of CYP1A1 gene measured by real time RT-PCR. Conversely, in the downstream part of the Adour estuary, Hg loads in eels, especially methyl mercury, and PCBs analyses indicate values that need further investigations considering the European norms of consumption. The comparison of the different markers used (heavy metal and organochlorinated compounds contamination of soft tissues, condition index) support a lower quality of the estuary despite higher eel growth rate on this site. This study supports the use of numerous markers in integrated studies in order to understand and specify the relationships between eels and their continental growth zones.
Dans un contexte de déclin de l'anguille européenne (Anguilla anguilla L.) et de recherche de marqueurs biologiques retraçant la fréquentation des divers habitats et renseignant sur la qualité de ceux-ci, une approche pluridisciplinaire a été mise en place sur l'estuaire de l'Adour et ses zones humides. Deux axes ont été privilégiés. Le premier cherchait à visualiser la présence successive de l'espèce dans différents écosystèmes en se basant sur la composition élémentaire des otolithes. Le deuxième avait pour but d'évaluer la pression chimique inorganique et organique subie par l'anguille dans les zones d'études en s'appuyant sur la bioconcentration des contaminants dans les tissus mous et la réponse moléculaire précoce au stress chimique. En vue des analyses de la composition élémentaire des otolithes et pour répondre au mieux à la structure en trois dimensions, à la faible concentration des éléments dans la matrice tout en conservant une résolution spatiale la plus fine possible, quatre stratégies de micro-échantillonnage et d'analyses multiélémentaires par ablation laser femtoseconde ICP-MS ont été testées (cratère, scan 1D, scan 2D, ablation flash). La méthodologie présentant le meilleur compromis par rapport aux objectifs fixés (enregistrement continu, approche multiélémentaire) a ensuite été appliquée sur les otolithes d'anguilles jaunes du Bas-Adour. L'utilisation simultanée des profils continus de Sr et de Ba, après validation, constitue un outil facile d'utilisation, rapide et fiable pour reconstruire les historiques de fréquentation des différents écosystèmes estuariens et dulçaquicoles par l'anguille tout en s'affranchissant des problèmes potentiels liés aux inclusions de vatérite, un polymorphe du carbonate de calcium. Trois grands types de comportement ont pu être mis en évidence sur l'Adour : résidence en eau saumâtre, résidence en eau douce et nomadisme. Ce dernier est plus particulièrement illustré par un mouvement marqué vers l'eau saumâtre pour des individus ayant passé de trois à quatre ans dans l'eau douce. Parallèlement, l'étude de la contamination organique et inorganique des tissus mous de l'anguille a permis de déduire à la faible contamination des zones humides échantillonnées. La première estimation en condition naturelle de la réponse précoce au stress chimique par évaluation de l'expression hépatique du gène CYP1A1 par RT-PCR en temps réel confirme ces résultats. En revanche, dans la partie estuarienne aval de l'Adour, les niveaux en Hg, présent en majorité sous sa forme méthylée dans les anguilles, et l'analyse des PCBs indiquent des valeurs qui suscitent un examen plus approfondi au regard des normes européennes en vigueur. La confrontation des différents descripteurs (contamination des tissus mous par les métaux lourds et organochlorés, indice de condition) utilisés conforte la qualité moindre de la zone estuarienne malgré des performances de croissance de l'anguille favorisées sur ces sites. Ainsi, cette étude supporte l'intérêt de la mise en oeuvre de descripteurs multiples utilisés (niveaux de métaux lourds et organochlorés dans les tissus mous, réponse moléculaire au stress chimique, microchimie de l'otolithe, indice de condition, taux de croissance) dans des approches intégrées pour comprendre et préciser les relations existantes entre l'anguille et ses zones de croissance continentales.

Résumé : Seagrasses structure some of the world's key coastal ecosystems presently in decline due to human activities and global change. The ability to cope with environmental changes and the possibilities for shifts in distribution range depend largely on their evolvability and dispersal potential. As large-scale data usually show strong genetic structure for seagrasses, finer-grained work is needed to understand the local processes of dispersal, recruitment and colonization that could explain the apparent lack of exchange across large distances. We aimed to assess the fine-grained genetic structure of one of the most important and widely distributed seagrasses, Zostera marina, from seven meadows in Brittany, France. Both classic population genetics and network analysis confirmed a pattern of spatial segregation of polymorphism at both regional and local scales. One location exhibiting exclusively the variety 'angustifolia' did not appear more differentiated than the others, but instead showed a central position in the network analysis, confirming the status of this variety as an ecotype. This phenotypic diversity and the high allelic richness at nine microsatellites (2.33-9.67 alleles/locus) compared to levels previously reported across the distribution range, points to Brittany as a centre of diversity for Z. marina at both genetic and phenotypic levels. Despite dispersal potential of several 100 m, a significant pattern of genetic differentiation, even at fine-grained scale, revealed 'genetic patchiness'. Meadows seem to be composed of a mosaic of clones with distinct origins in space and time, a result that calls into question the accuracy of the concept of populations for such partially clonal species.

Résumé :  
The chloroplast genome has been widely used to describe genetic diversity in plant species. Its maternal inheritance in numerous angiosperm species and low mutation rate are suitable characters when inferring historical events such as possible recolonization routes. Here we have studied chloroplast DNA variation using PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) with seven pairs of primers and four restriction enzymes in 14 populations of Vouacapoua americana (Caesalpiniaceae) a neotropical tree sampled throughout French Guiana. Population diversity (Hs), total gene diversity (Ht) and differentiation among populations (GST) were estimated using Nei's method as 0.09, 0.87 and 0.89, respectively. This is consistent with the limited gene flow associated with synzoochory in this species. The genetic structure observed in the north of French Guiana suggests that historical events such as contractions and recent recolonizations have had a large impact on the distribution of genetic diversity in this species.

Résumé : Aux Antilles, la faible fréquence des coronaropathies pourrait être liée à des facteurs génétiques, ethniques et/ou une distribution spécifique des facteurs de risque cardio-vasculaire (FDRCV). Les propriétés l'ANP (Atrial Natriuretic Peptide) et l'influence de certains polymorphismes de son gène, fréquents dans les populations d'ascendance Africaine pourraient également être en cause. L'analyse des dossiers de 638 patients coronariens consécutifs a mis en évidence une forte prévalence de l'hypertension artérielle et du diabète dans cette population et révélé des différences significatives dans la prévalence des FDRCV entre Afro-Caribéens (AC), Caucasiens et descendants de migrants Indiens. L'analyse angiographique de 420 patients AC a révélé que le diabète était le FDRCV le plus fortement lié à la sévérité des lésions coronaires alors l'obésité apparaissait comme un facteur protecteur. La transfection in vitro, de cellules musculaires lisses artérielles par une construction adénovirale porteuse du gène de l'ANP a entrainé une inhibition de la prolifération et de la migration cellulaire de 31 % et 25% respectivement. In vivo, cet effet s'est traduit par une réduction de 25% de la formation néotimale et de 28% du rapport intima/média dans un modèle d'hyperplasie de carotide de rat. Dans étude transversale incluant 210 sujets diabétiques AC nous avons mis en évidence une association entre le polymorphisme rs5065 (22381>C) du gène de l'ANP et l'existence d'une coronaropatbie. Dans cette étude, l'odds ratio de la présence d'une coronaropathie chez les porteurs de l'allèle mineur de cette mutation (TC/CC) était de 0,50 (0,26- 0,96; P = 0,038).
In Guadeloupe and Martinique, the low frequency ofcoronary artery disease (CAD) could be related to genetic or ethniefactors and/or specifie distribution ofcardiovascular risk factors (CRFs). Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) properties and influence of sorne of ANP gene polymorphism that are frequent in populations of African descent could also be involved in CAD occurrence. We retrospectively studied 638 consecutive patients with documented CAO and found a high prevalence of hypertension and diabetes in this population. This study also demonstrated significant differences in the prevalence of CRFs between Afro-Caribbean (AC), Caucasians and Indians migrants. The angiographie analysis of420 patients revealed that in AC, diabetes emerged as the strongest CFR related to the severity ofcoronary lesions while obesity appeared as a protective factor. After transfection by an adenoviral construct carrying the ANP gene, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation stimulated by 10% fetal calf serum was reduced by 31% and migration by 25%. In vivo, in rat carotid artery model ofvascular injury, neointima formation and intima/media ratio was reduced by 25% and 28% respectively. In a cross-sectional study inc1uding 210 AC diabetics we found an association between rs5065 (22381> C) polymorpbism and the presence of coronary artery disease suggesting that the minor allele could have a protective effect against CAD. The odds ratio for the presence ofCAD in carriers ofthe minor allele ofthis mutation (TC / CC) was 0.50 (0.26-0.96, P = 0.038).

Résumé : Le maintien de ressources génétiques suffisamment larges est nécessaire pour assurer la viabilité et le potentiel évolutif des populations naturelles. Cette thèse a le principal objectif de caractériser la diversité et la variabilité génétique chez le genre Virola (Myristicaceae) pour décrire les processus évolutifs qui en sont à l'origine. Premièrement,une étude de la régénération d'un échantillonnage exhaustif de V. michelii a été menée dans une parcelle du dispositif expérimental de Paracou ayant subi une exploitation forestière de faible intensité et comparée à une parcelle témoin. La diversité génétique mesurée à partir de marqueurs AFLP (Amplified Fragment-Length Polymorphism, N=229) en zones perturbées s'est révélée être plis grande qu'en zone non-perturbées. Puis, l'adaptation locale a été étudiée à travers ces mêmes individus et certains loci (AFLP) montrent une sélection divergente pour des environnements contrastés, indiquant un signe d'adaptation. Enfin, l'étude des niveaux de divergence génétique chez trois espèces de Virola du bouclier guyanais (V. michelii, V. surinamensis et V. kwatae) montrent que deux d'entre elles (V. surinamensis et V. kwatae) montrent de fortes similarités génétiques malgré leur distribution sur des environnements contrastés. des Flux de gènes intersécifiques ont été mis en évidence chez ces deux espèces-soeurs et l'hypothèse d'une spéciation écologique est avancée. Ce travail a permis d'aborder différents processus évolutifs à l'origine de la diversité génétique actuelle chez ces espèces forestières tropicales et peut fournir une contribution pour appréhender le devenir des populations.
Genetic diversity is an essential component of biodiversity. The maintenance of sufficient genetic resources is needed to ensure the adaptive potential and the viability of natural populations. In the current context of global changes, the study of adaptation in living organisms is a key task, particularly for tropical forest trees that are dominant components (in terms of biomass and as ecological drivers) of some of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. The main objective of this thesis is to characterize genetic diversity and genetic variability to understand the evolutionary processes that act on them. This ecological-genetic study was carried out at the interspecific and intraspecific level in the Virola genus.If overall high levels of genetic diversity are a guarantee of prosperity for the future of the species, it seems essential to perform studies on the impact of environmental disturbance on genetic diversity. In the first section, the genetic consequences of regeneration dynamics were studied in an exhaustive sample of V. michelii in a low-intensity logging plot and in a control plot at the Paracou experimental site. A greater genetic diversity, measured from AFLP markers (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism, N = 229), was found in perturbed areas. Because studying genetic diversity within species may be useful for understanding species adaptation to environmental changes, in the second section. I studied local adaptation in a population of V. michelii on the Paracou experimental site. A genome scan approach with AFLPs (N = 229) was conducted on 77 adult individuals and 401 juveniles to identify genetic differences between populations associated to contrasting conditions for an array of environmental variables. Some loci (N = 2) were found to be subject to divergent selection, indicating adaptation to contrasting habitats.In the third section, the study of levels of genetic divergence in three Virola species of the Guiana Shield (V. michelii, V. surinamensis and V. kwatae) was investigated for nuclear and chloroplast molecular markers. V. surinamensis and V. kwatae showed strong genetic similarities despite their contrasting habitats preferences. Coalescent analyses have revealed, on one hand, a recent divergence between these two species suggesting an ecological speciation, and one the other hand that interspecific gene flow occurs between these sister-species.This work focuses on understanding evolutionary processes shaping genetic diversity and provides a useful contribution for biodiversity conservation programs.

Résumé : International audience
The extensive use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI's) in hematology and oncology has shown that these drugs have a significant potential for drug-drug interactions. Since these drugs have a rather low therapeutic window, some drug interactions are of particular clinical relevance either on drug toxicity or on patient's response. Significant interactions occur with concomitant use of acid-suppressive therapy leading to a decreased oral bioavailability. However, such interactions are drug dependent according to their solubility pattern and to the duration of action of acid-suppressive therapy, which is coprescribed. Significant interactions occur by inhibition or induction of CYP450 3A4 which is the main metabolic pathway of TKIs. However, minor metabolic pathways should also be paid attention to. Interactions involving efflux and influx transporters should also be considered occurring for some TKIs. Genetic polymorphism in drug metabolism as well as in drug transport is a factor of variability in drug exposure, which could modulate the magnitude of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). It should be noticed that TKIs can also be at the origin of drug interactions by altering the pharmacokinetics of coprescribed drugs. Since cancer patients are given many drugs either for supportive care or for the treatment of drug toxicity, and to the fact that the oldest patients are polymedicated, a clear understanding of DDIs with TKIs is of interest. The objectives of this review are to provide an overview of the mechanisms of DDIs with TKIs and to provide to physicians and pharmacists recommendations to manage these DDIs in their clinical practice.

Résumé : La tuberculose, maladie très ancienne, est plus que jamais présentée sur la scène sanitaire mondiale avec 9 millions de nouveaux cas par an. Cette maladie, qui demeure une cause majeure de mortalité, est un des problèmes les plus difficiles à résoudre en santé publique et à échelle internationale. Les diverses programmes de lutte, lancés par l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS), pour prévenir et garantir la guérison des patients tuberculeux, se heurtent à des difficultés qui hypothèquent leur efficacité. En effet, l'expansion du virus de rinimunodéficience humaine (VIII) et son influence néfaste sur la susceptibilité à la tuberculose, l'accroissement rapide de la tuberculose multirésistante, la pauvreté ainsi que la croissance démographique, sont un ensemble de facteurs préjudiciables à l'application des mesures préventives et curatives. Les contextes économiques difficiles conduisant indubitablement au cumul de ces facteurs, ont fait une césure entre les pays riches et les pays pauvres quant à l'incidence et la révolution de la tuberculose à échelle mondiale. Pour atténuer la disparité des résultats des luttes antituberculeuses, les méthodologies employées en épidémiologie de la tuberculose doivent s'inscrire dans une démarche d'efficacité. Les marqueurs moléculaires, indispensables à l'identification et à la classification des souches appartenant au complexe Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTC) ont chacun des potentialités qui leur sont propres dont il convient de cerner pour une utilisation adéquate dans les études épidémiologiques et phylogénétiques. Le but de cette thèse consiste à extraire des connaissances nouvelles des résultats de génotypage stockées dans les bases de données, connaissances relatives au polymorphisme du support génomique pour estimer la contribution de chaque marqueur dans la classification de MTC. Le recours à différentes méthodes de reconstruction phylogénétique et de modélisation des données fut indispensable. A la lumière des résultats obtenus, cette thèse propose une nouvelle méthodologie de classification, pour rétablissement d'une phylogéographie robuste de MTC en relation avec l'histoire des migrations humaines qui aurait débutée en Afrique subsaharienne. Chaque méthode de génotypage ayant une efficience et un cout propres, qu'il convient de mesurer par rapport aux moyens disponibles et aux résultats escomptes, il est donc intéressant de renforcer la connaissance des marqueurs et de proposer différentes alternatives menant à la classification des mycobactéries. Ainsi, les résultats obtenus dans cette thèse apportent plus de cohérence aux solutions proposées pour la caractérisation des clones de MTC circulant dans le monde.
Tuberculosis, very old disease, is more than ever presented on the global health scene with 9 million new cases per year. This disease, which remains a major cause of mortality is one of the most intractable public health and international issues. The various control programs, launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) to prevent and guarantee the cure of tuberculosis patients face difficulties that undermine their effectiveness. Indeed, the expansion of human virus rinimunodéficience (VIII) and its negative influence on susceptibility to tuberculosis, the rapid growth of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, poverty and population growth, are a set of factors detrimental to application of preventive and curative measures. The difficult economic circumstances undoubtedly leading to accumulation of these factors have a break between rich and poor countries about the impact and the revolution of tuberculosis worldwide. To address the disparity of the results of tuberculosis struggles, the methodologies used in epidemiology of tuberculosis must be part of a process efficiency. Molecular indispensable to the identification and classification of strains belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) markers each have their own potentials that need to be identified for proper use in epidemiological and phylogenetic studies. The purpose of this thesis is to extract new knowledge of the results of genotyping data stored in databases, knowledge of the polymorphism of genomic carrier to estimate the contribution of each marker in the classification of TCM. The use of different methods of phylogenetic reconstruction and modeling data was essential. In light of the results obtained, the thesis proposes a new classification methodology for a robust recovery phylogeography of TCM in connection with the history of human migration have started in sub-Saharan Africa. Each genotyping method with cost efficiency and equity, should be measured in relation to the resources available and discounts results, it is interesting to strengthen the knowledge of markers and propose alternatives leading to the classification of mycobacteria. Thus, the results obtained in this thesis bring more coherence to the proposed characterization of clones MTC circulating worldwide solutions.
