Description : Nous irons voir Pelé sans payer, de Gilles Élie-Dit-Cosaque (2014). Ce documentaire projeté à la Bibliothèque Universitaire de la Martinique le jeudi 1er décembre 2016, s'est déroulé en présence du réalisateur, qui s'est prêté à un échange avec le public à l'issue de la projection. En janvier 1971, le Santos FC, le club de foot mythique de São Paulo avec à sa tête le roi Pelé", débarque en Martinique afin de disputer un match contre les meilleurs joueurs locaux. La belle affiche a un prix, le prix du billet est multiplié par 10. Un petit groupe d'extrême gauche fraîchement constitué, baptisé « Groupe d'Action prolétarienne », voit là l'occasion d'un coup d'éclat politique. Tout est bon pour la révolution. Ils mettent en branle un mouvement dont le mot d'ordre sera « Nous irons voir Pelé sans payer ». Pendant que les footballeurs s'entraînent, l'agitation prend de l'ampleur. Alors, forces de l'ordre ou manifestants, Martinique ou Brésil, dans la rue ou sur le terrain... Qui gagnera le match ?

Résumé : International audience
In this study, the cellular organization of the gill that harbors symbiotic bacteria is described in the thyasirid Thyasira falklandica collected from South Shetlands in Antarctic. Sections of the gills revealed that T. falklandica belongs to the gill type 3, as described by Dufour (Biol Bull, 208:200-212, 2005), with an elongated lateral zone along the frontal-abfrontal axis of the gill Wlaments. The ciliated and intermediary zones looked similar to those described in symbionts-bearing bivalves. The lateral zone is more complex in T. falklandica than in other Thyasiridae already described. Such a zone is composed of four different cell types. Bacteriocytes are abundant in the frontal and abfrontal positions, while the middle part of the lateral zone is occupied mostly by numerous granule cells devoid of bacteria. All along the lateral zone, TEM and SEM observations show some ciliated cells, which are regularly interspersed between bacteriocytes and/or granule cells. Such cells, according to the long double ciliary roots of their cilia, should have a sensory function. Intercalary cells, which have never been observed between bacteriocytes, are restricted to the middle part of the lateral zone where their expansions overlap the adjacent granule cells. Bacterial symbionts occur only extracellularly among long microvilli diVerentiated by the bacteriocytes. They are abundant, usually spherical in shape (around 0.7 m length), and covered by the glycocalix from bacteriocyte microvilli. According to TEM views, the empty vesicles located in the periplasmic space should be sulfur storage, as known for other sulfur-oxidizing symbionts.

Résumé : La zone latérale des filaments branchiaux des bivalves Codakia orbiculata et Lucina pensylvanica est le lieu d'une symbiose chimioautotrophe avec des bactéries sulfo-oxydantes hébergées dans des cellules spécialisées, appelées bactériocytes. Dans cette étude, nous nous sommes proposés de déterminer les mécanismes qui sous-tendent la plasticité cellulaire et tissulaire observée au cours des processus de décolonisation et de recolonisation bactérienne. Pour ce faire, des individus collectés dans leur milieu naturel, ont été maintenus au laboratoire dans des bacs d'eau de mer filtrée en absence de nourriture et de soufre réduit, afin de provoquer la décolonisation bactérienne des filaments branchiaux. Lorsque la branchie apparaissait purgée de ses symbiotes, les individus ont été remis dans leur habitat naturel afin de provoquer sa recolonisation. L'analyse des branchies au cours de ces processus a fait appel à des techniques variées (histologie, immunohistochimie, hybridation in situ, cytométrie en flux, dosage des protéines et spectrométrie de fluorescence X). Les résultats obtenus ont permis de montrer que l'acquisition environnementale mise en évidence chez les juvéniles des Codakia se poursuivait tout au long de la vie des adultes. Cette étude a également permis une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes tissulaires sous-jacents à la plasticité du filament branchial en mettant en évidence les processus d'apoptose et de prolifération cellulaire qui ont lieu au cours des processus de décolonisation et de recolonisation. Ces processus s'accompagnent d'une variation de la teneur en soufre élémentaire, ainsi que de la taille relative et du contenu génomique des symbiotes
The lateral zone of gills filaments of coastal bivalves Codakia orbiculata and Lucina pensylvanica is the site of chemoautotrophic symbiosis with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, housed in specialized cells called bacteriocytes. The objective of this thesis is to determine the mechanisms underlying cel1 plasticity and tissue plasticity observed in the lateral zone of gills filaments during the processes of bacterial decolonization and recolonization. In order to do this, the individuals collected in their natural habitat were maintained at the laboratory in seawater filtered tanks, without food and reduced sulfur, to cause bacterial decolonization. When the gills seemed to be purged, the individuals were returned to their natural habitat in order to cause the bacterial recolonization of gills filaments. The analysis of the gills during these processes involves several techniques (histology, immunohistochemistry, molecular hybridization, flow cytometry, total protein assays, protein sulfur assays, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).This study shows that symbiont acquisition can occur during the entire life of Codakia bivalves. It also allows a better understanding of gills filaments plasticity by highlighting apoptosis and cell proliferation during decolonization and recolonization processes.Theses processes are accompanied with of elemental sufur, relative size and genomic content of symbiontes.

Résumé : International audience
Fish mucus has important biological and ecologicalroles such as defense against fish pathogens andchemical mediation among several species. A non-targetedliquid chromatography–mass spectrometry metabolomicapproach was developed to study gill mucus of eight butterflyfishspecies in Moorea (French Polynesia), and theinfluence of several fish traits (geographic site and reefhabitat, species taxonomy, phylogeny, diet and parasitismlevels) on the metabolic variability was investigated. Abiphasic extraction yielding two fractions (polar and apolar)was used. Fish diet (obligate corallivorous, facultativecorallivorous or omnivorous) arose as the main driver ofthe metabolic differences in the gill mucus in both fractions,accounting for 23% of the observed metabolic variabilityin the apolar fraction and 13% in the polar fraction.A partial least squares discriminant analysis allowed us toidentify the metabolites (variable important in projection,VIP) driving the differences between fish with differentdiets (obligate corallivores, facultative corallivores andomnivorous). Using accurate mass data and fragmentationdata, we identified some of these VIP as glycerophosphocholines,ceramides and fatty acids. Level of monogeneangill parasites was the second most important factor shapingthe gill mucus metabolome, and it explained 10% of themetabolic variability in the polar fraction and 5% in theapolar fraction. A multiple regression tree revealed that themetabolic variability due to parasitism in the polar fractionwas mainly due to differences between non-parasitized andparasitized fish. Phylogeny and butterflyfish species werefactors contributing significantly to the metabolic variabilityof the apolar fraction (10 and 3%, respectively) buthad a less pronounced effect in the polar fraction. Finally,geographic site and reef habitat of butterflyfish species didnot influence the gill mucus metabolome of butterflyfishes.

Résumé : International audience
This work relates to the characterisation of the predominant gill protein of the white clam, Codakia orbicularis (Linné, 1758), which harbours endosymbiotic sulphur-oxidising chemoautotrophic bacteria. Total RNA was extracted from the clam to perform 3'rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3'RACE) using degenerate oligonucleotides prepared from a partial sequence of a predominant protein of about 14kDa, termed codakine. The partial peptide sequence was obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and Edman degradation. Clones isolated from the cDNA library and containing the gene of interest were used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR and RACE-PCR products were sequenced to determine the entire coding DNA sequence of codakine. BLAST analysis revealed about 23% to 29% sequence identity between codakine and various animal C-type lectins that are often involved in symbiosis and immune defences. Codakine also contains the motifs and domains of Ca(2+)-dependent C-type lectins, and in particular the tripeptide EPN motif frequently found in mannose-binding lectins (MBLs). Analysis of the protein by affinity chromatography on a mannose-agarose column is consistent with the findings that codakine is a dimeric Ca(2+)-dependent MBL of about 29kDa. Based on the present results, it is hypothesised that this novel C. orbicularis gill protein is involved in the recognition of symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria.

Résumé : International audience
Up-to-date estimates of the health outcomes of preterm children are needed for assessing perinatal care, informing parents, making decisions about care, and providing evidence for clinical guidelines. To determine survival and neonatal morbidity of infants born from 22 through 34 completed weeks' gestation in France in 2011 and compare these outcomes with a comparable cohort in 1997. The EPIPAGE-2 study is a national, prospective, population-based cohort study conducted in all maternity and neonatal units in France in 2011. A total of 2205 births (stillbirths and live births) and terminations of pregnancy at 22 through 26 weeks' gestation, 3257 at 27 through 31 weeks, and 1234 at 32 through 34 weeks were studied. Cohort data were collected from January 1 through December 31, 1997, and from March 28 through December 31, 2011. Analyses for 1997 were run for the entire year and then separately for April to December; the rates for survival and morbidities did not differ. Data are therefore presented for the whole year in 1997 and the 8-month and 6-month periods in 2011. Survival to discharge and survival without any of the following adverse outcomes: grade III or IV intraventricular hemorrhage, cystic periventricular leukomalacia, severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity (stage 3 or higher), or necrotizing enterocolitis (stages 2-3). A total of 0.7% of infants born before 24 weeks' gestation survived to discharge: 31.2% of those born at 24 weeks, 59.1% at 25 weeks, and 75.3% at 26 weeks. Survival rates were 93.6% at 27 through 31 weeks and 98.9% at 32 through 34 weeks. Infants discharged home without severe neonatal morbidity represented 0% at 23 weeks, 11.6% at 24 weeks, 30.0% at 25 weeks, 47.5% at 26 weeks, 81.3% at 27 through 31 weeks, and 96.8% at 32 through 34 weeks. Compared with 1997, the proportion of infants surviving without severe morbidity in 2011 increased by 14.4% (P < .001) at 25 through 29 weeks and 6% (P < .001) at 30 through 31 weeks but did not change appreciably for those born at less than 25 weeks. The rates of antenatal corticosteroid use, induced preterm deliveries, cesarean deliveries, and surfactant use increased significantly in all gestational-age groups, except at 22 through 23 weeks. The substantial improvement in survival in France for newborns born at 25 through 31 weeks' gestation was accompanied by an important reduction in severe morbidity, but survival remained rare before 25 weeks. Although improvement in survival at extremely low gestational age may be possible, its effect on long-term outcomes requires further studies. The long-term results of the EPIPAGE-2 study will be informative in this regard.

Résumé : International audience
The shallow-water bivalve Codakia orbiculata which harbors gill-endosymbiotic sulfur-oxidizing ?-proteobacteria can lose and acquire its endosymbionts throughout its life. Long-term starvation and recolonization experiments led to changes in the organization of cells in the lateral zone of gill filaments. This plasticity is linked to the presence or absence of gill-endosymbionts. Herein, we propose that this reorganization can be explained by three hypotheses: (a) a variation in the number of bacteriocytes and granule cells due to proliferation or apoptosis processes, (b) a variation of the volume of these two cell types without modification in the number, and (c) a combination of both number and cell volume variation. To test these hypotheses, we analyzed cell reorganization in terms of proliferation and apoptosis in adults submitted to starvation and returned to the field using catalyzed reporter deposition fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and structural analyses. We observed that cell and tissue reorganization in gills filaments is due to a variation in cell relative abundance that maybe associated with a variation in cell apparent volume and depends on the environment. In fact, bacteriocytes mostly multiply in freshly collected and newly recolonized individuals, and excess bacteriocytes are eliminated in later recolonization stages. We highlight that host tissue regeneration in gill filaments of this symbiotic bivalve can occur by both replication of existing cells and division of undifferentiated cells localized in tissular bridges, which might be a tissue-specific multipotent stem cell zone.

Résumé : International audience
OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that, in Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Hepatitis C Virus (HIV/HCV) co-infected patients who did not respond to peg-interferon and ribavirin, a maintenance therapy with peg-interferon could induce fibrosis regression. METHODS: This was a randomized study with two parallel groups. HIV/HCV co-infected patients received peg-interferon α-2a at 180 μg/week or remained on observation for 96 weeks. The primary endpoint was the percentage of patients who experienced a decrease of at least one point in their Metavir fibrosis score between initial and final liver biopsies. Secondary endpoints included plasma fibrosis markers at week 96, occurrence of HCV-related complications, and survival. RESULTS: A total of 52 patients were randomized (peg-interferon: 25; control: 27) including 18 with cirrhosis. The median (interquartile range) age was 44 (40-46) years, and 69% were male. A total of 64% had ALT levels >1.5 normal values, and the CD4 cell count was 391 (296-537) cells/mm(3); 67% of patients had HIV RNA <200 copies/mL at entry. The main endpoint was assessed in 41 patients. Response rates were 3/20 (15%) and 4/21 (19%) in the peg-interferon and control groups, respectively (p = 0.99). There was no significant difference between peg-interferon and control groups on plasma fibrosis markers at the final visit. Severe liver-related complications were observed in 2 and 5 patients in peg-interferon and control groups, respectively. Three deaths were observed, all in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: A maintenance therapy with peg-interferon α-2a over 96 weeks in HIV/HCV co-infected patients, who were non-responders to HCV treatment, did not change liver fibrosis.

Résumé : International audience
The bivalve Codakia orbicularis, hosting sulfur-oxidizing gill endosymbionts, was starved (in artificial seawater filtered through a 0.22- m-pore-size membrane) for a long-term experiment (4 months). The effects of starvation were observed using transmission electron microscopy, fluorescence in situ hybridization and catalyzed reporter deposition (CARD-FISH), and flow cytometry to monitor the anatomical and physiological modifications in the gill organization of the host and in the symbiotic population housed in bacteriocytes. The abundance of the symbiotic population decreased through starvation, with a loss of one-third of the bacterial population each month, as shown by CARD-FISH. At the same time, flow cytometry revealed significant changes in the physiology of symbiotic cells, with a decrease in cell size and modifications to the nucleic acid content, while most of the symbionts maintained a high respiratory activity (measured using the 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride method). Progressively, the number of symbiont subpopulations was reduced, and the subsequent multigenomic state, characteristic of this symbiont in freshly collected clams, turned into one and five equivalent genome copies for the two remaining subpopulations after 3 months. Concomitant structural modifications appeared in the gill organization. Lysosymes became visible in the bacteriocytes, while large symbionts disappeared, and bacteriocytes were gradually replaced by granule cells throughout the entire lateral zone. Those data suggested that host survival under these starvation conditions was linked to symbiont digestion as the main nutritional source.

Résumé : Following the volcanic eruption of April 2007 at Reunion Island, 12 specimens of the pomacentrid genus Chromis were collected at sea surface. One of these fishes was a C. chrysura known from the reef Island fauna. The others have enlarged eyes. Among them were one C. axillaris (Bennett, 1831), new for the Island fauna, and ten specimens of a new Chromis species, described here under the name C. durvillei. This new species of deep dwelling Chromis is distinguishable by large sized eyes 1.9 to 2.4 in the head length, D. XIII, 12-13, 25 to 26 gill-rakers on the first gill arch, three spiniform procurrent caudal rays, without black or dark brown spot or band on the body, pectorals or caudal peduncle. C. axillaris, C. woodsi, C. unipa, C. okamurai, C. struhsakeri and generally C. mirationis have 14 spinous dorsal rays. C. abyssicola and rarely C. mirationis have 13 spinous dorsal rays but two spiniform procurrent caudal rays and a dark axillary spot on pectorals.
Parmi les poissons récoltés en surface à l’île de la Réunion (océan Indien sud-ouest), après l’éruption volcanique d’avril 2007, se trouvaient 12 exemplaires du genre Chromis. Un C. chrysura connu de la faune récifale de l’île et 11 exemplaires présentant des yeux de grande taille : un C. axillaris (Bennett, 1831), nouveau pour la faune de l’île de La Réunion et 10 Chromis distinguables des autres espèces du genre par des yeux de grande taille (1,9 à 2,4 fois dans la longueur de la tête), D. XIII , 12-13, 25 à 26 branchicténies sur le premier arc branchial, trois rayons caudaux procurrents épineux et l’absence de tache ou de bande de couleur foncée sur le corps, les pectorales ou le pédoncule caudal. C. axillaris, C. woodsi, C. unipa, C. okamurai, C. struhsakeri et C. mirationis ont 14 rayons épineux à la dorsale, alors que C. abyssicola et rarement C. mirationis n’en ont que 13, mais deux rayons caudaux procurrents et une tache axillaire noire sur les pectorales. Cette espèce nouvelle de Chromis est décrite sous le nom de C. durvillei.

Résumé : International audience
Cold seeps have recently been discovered in the Nile deep-sea fan (Eastern Mediterranean), and data regarding associated fauna are still scarce. In this study, two bivalve species associated with carbonate crusts and reduced sediment are identified based on sequence analysis of their 18S and 28S rRNAencoding genes, and associated bacterial symbioses are investigated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and microscopy-based approaches. The specimens are closely related to Myrtea spinifera and Thyasira flexuosa, two species previously documented at various depths from other regions but not yet reported from the Eastern Mediterranean. Both species harbour abundant gammaproteobacterial endosymbionts in specialized gill epithelial cells. The Myrtea-associated bacterium is closely related to lucinid symbionts from both deep-sea and coastal species, whereas the Thyasira-associated bacterium is closely related to the symbiont of a T. flexuosa from coastal waters off the U.K. An epsilonproteobacterial sequence has also been identified in Thyasira which could correspond to a helicoid-shaped morphotype observed by electron microscopy, but this was not confirmed using fluorescent in situ hybridization. Virus-like particles were observed within some symbionts in Thyasira, mostly in bacteriocytes localized close to the ciliated zone of the gill filament. Overall, results indicate that very close relatives of shallow species M. spinifera and T. flexuosa occur at cold seeps in the Eastern Mediterranean and harbour chemoautotrophic symbioses similar to those found in their coastal relatives.

Résumé : International audience
A new species of wrasse, Macropharyngodon pakoko, is described from the Marquesas Islands, bringing the total number of species of the genus Macropharyngodon to 12. Macropharyngodon pakoko was found at depths from 0-42 m and is endemic to the Marquesas Islands. Macropharyngodon pakoko is similar to M. meleagris, which is widely distributed from the central and western Pacific to Cocos-Keeling in the Indian Ocean, but differs genetically and in several coloration characters: males with irregularly curved black humeral blotch with incomplete iridescent blue border; inverted irregular " U "-shaped band on the cheek; a small black spot at the upper base of the pectoral fin; and background color of the body greenish with faint bluish black spots on each scale. Females lack black pigment on the chest posterior to the ventral attachment of the gill membranes; reddish black blotches on the body are widely spaced, particularly on the head where they are more reddish and half the size of those on body; caudal fin with small, bright yellow spots arranged in narrow vertical bands with pale interspaces; pelvic fins pale with three reddish yellow cross-bands; a small black spot at the upper base of the pectoral fin; and small reddish spots along the base of the anal fin. Juveniles have irregular black blotches on the body, a small black spot instead of an ocellus posteriorly on the dorsal fin and lack large black spots and ocellus on the anal fin.

Résumé : International audience
Six morphotypes of small mussels (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) were found attached to naturally sunken wood collected in the Bohol Sea (Philippines). These specimens are related to the large Bathymodiolus mussels that are found worldwide at cold seeps and hydrothermal vents. In these habitats, the mytilids harbour sulphur- and methane-oxidizing endosymbionts in their gills and depend on the energy and carbon provided by the symbionts. In this study, bacteria associated with the gills of wood-associated mussels are characterized using molecular and microscopic techniques. The existence of bacteria in the lateral zone of gill filaments in all specimens is demonstrated. Comparative analyses of 16S rRNA gene and adenosine 5′-phosphosulphate (APS) reductase gene sequences indicate that the bacteria are closely related to sulphur-oxidizing endosymbionts of Bathymodiolus. FISHs using specific probes confirm that sulphur oxidizers are by far the most abundant, if not the only bacteria present. Electron micrographs displayed mostly extracellular bacteria located between microvilli at the apical surface of host gill epithelial cells all along the lateral zone of each gill filament. In some specimens, occasional occurrence of intracellular bacteria with similar morphology was noted. This study provides the first molecular evidence for the presence of possible thiotrophic symbiosis in sunken wood ecosystems. With their epibiotic bacteria, wood-associated mussels display a less integrated type of interaction than described in their seep, vent and whale fall relatives.
