Résumé : International audience
Ro 31-8220 is a potent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor belonging to the chemical class of bisindolylmaleimides (BIMs). Various PKC-independent effects of Ro 31-8220 have however been demonstrated, including inhibition of the ATP-binding cassette drug transporter breast cancer resistance protein. In the present study, we reported that the BIM also blocks activity of the solute carrier organic cation transporter (OCT) 1, involved in uptake of marketed drugs in the liver, in a PKC-independent manner. Ro 31-8220, in contrast to other pan-PKC inhibitors such as staurosporine and chelerythrine, was thus shown to cis-inhibit uptake of the reference OCT1 substrate tetraethylammonium in OCT1-transfected HEK293 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 0.18 μM) and without altering membrane expression of OCT1. This blockage of OCT1 was also observed in human hepatic HepaRG cells that constitutionally express OCT1. It likely occurred through a mixed mechanism of inhibition. Ro 31-8220 additionally trans-inhibited TEA uptake in OCT1-transfected HEK293 cells, which likely discards a transport of Ro 31-8220 by OCT1. Besides Ro 31-8220, 7 additional BIMs, including the PKC inhibitor LY 333531, inhibited OCT1 activity, whereas 4 other BIMs were without effect. In silico analysis of structure-activity relationships next revealed that various molecular descriptors, especially 3D-WHIM descriptors related to total size, correspond to key physico-chemical parameters for inhibition of OCT1 activity by BIMs. In addition to activity of OCT1, Ro 31-8220 inhibited those of other organic cation transporters such as multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE) 1 and MATE2-K, whereas, by contrast, it stimulated that of OCT2. Taken together, these data extend the nature of cellular off-targets of the BIM Ro 31-8220 to OCT1 and other organic cation transporters, which has likely to be kept in mind when using Ro 31-8220 and other BIMs as PKC inhibitors in experimental or clinical studies

Résumé : International audience
This paper proposes a new approach for the on-site detection of micropollutants in water in case of accidental or intentional contamination (characterized by high concentration). The technique is based on the use of an automatic multiple solid phase extraction step (MSPE) followed by direct or indirect UV spectrometry (MSPE/UV) for the detection of organic contaminants in water (such as regulated molecules (pesticides ...) as well as emerging pollutants (pharmaceutical products, endocrine disruptors ...)). The development of the system supposes firstly the choice of the most appropriate sorbent(s) and secondly conditions for the detection of targeted micropollutants, from several solid phase extraction cartridges and eluting solvents. Two different extraction sorbents were chosen. These sorbents and several eluting solvents allow the first separation of the compounds based on the physico-chemical properties of each substance (pKa, log Kow) and on the specific interactions with the sorbent. Finally, a UV analysis (either at the maximum of absorbance using a calibration curve or from the whole spectrum using a multicomponent (deconvolution) exploitation method) of each fraction allows a determination and a quantification of each compound. The method is rapid (less than 2 h), sensitive enough for an accidental/intentional contamination (between 5 and 40 μg*L− 1 according to the substances) and with a good precision (between 4 and 14%).

Résumé : International audience
Meconium is the first fecal excretion of newborns. This complex accumulative matrix allows assessing the exposure of the fetus to xenobiotics during the last 6 months of pregnancy. To determine the eventual effect of fetal exposure to micropollutants in this matrix, robust and sensitive analytical methods must be developed. This article describes the method development of liquid chromatography methods coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry for relevant pollutants. The 28 selected target compounds had different physico-chemical properties from very polar (glyphosate) to non-polar molecules (pyrethroids). Tests were performed with three different types of columns: reversed phase, ion exchange and HILIC. As a unique method could not be determined for the simultaneous analysis of all compounds, three columns were selected and suitable chromatographic methods were optimized. Similar results were noticed for the separation of the target compounds dissolved in either meconium extract or solvent for reversed phase and ion exchange columns. However, for HILIC, the matrix had a significant influence on the peak shape and robustness of the method. Finally, the analytical methods were applied to “real” meconium samples.

Résumé : Our objective was to compare fruit morphology, physico-chemistry and bioactive compounds content ofthe edible pulp of six Mammea americana accessions. The results showed that this fruit was rather big,weighing on average 600 to 1100 g depending on the accession, and spherical to oblate-shaped. The pulprepresented between 50 and 70% of the weight of the whole fruit. The pulp adhered only partially to theseeds in 5 of the 6 accessions studied, while the last one exhibited full adherence. The fresh pulp wasacidic, sweet, succulent and crunchy. The fruits studied had a variety of qualities, providing variousopportunities for post-harvest uses: fruit salads, nectar preparation, jams and jellies, or export. We haveestablished for the first time the total phenolic compounds and total flavonoids contents in the pulp ofmamey apple fruits. The pulp colour was highly correlated with total phenolic compounds and total carotenoidscontents.

Résumé : Consumption of marine organisms represents one of the main exposure sources of contaminants for human populations. To obtain a global view of the contamination in commercial fish in the NW Mediterranean Sea, we analysed four types of priority contaminants (PCBs, PBDEs, Hg and Cs-137) in the European hake, Merluccius merluccius, from the Gulf of Lions in relation with organism's trophic level (delta N-15). All contaminants presented a significant increase in concentration in hake muscle with trophic level. However, obvious differences between contaminants were evidenced. Biomagnification factors (BMF and FWMF) along the hake food web were higher for Hg and CB-153 than for BDE-47 and Cs-137, and increase in contaminant concentration with trophic level occurred at different rates depending on contaminants. Such differences of biomagnification patterns can be related to physico-chemical properties of the different contaminants. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Résumé : To improve the knowledge of the survival of enteric viruses in a marine environment, the influence of physico-chemical parameters (temperature, UV, salinity) on the survival of infectious poliovirus 1 and hepatitis A Virus (HAV) in seawater was first studied, the influence of suspended solids (SS) on poliovirus adsorption and survival in seawater was then evaluated and the detection of rotavirus genome in environmental samples (shellfish, river water, treated wastewater) was finally investigated. The results show that temperature has a major impact on virus survival in seawater as the time necessary to inactivate 90 % of the virus (T-90) is 671 days at 4 degrees C and only 25 days at 25 degrees C. Ultraviolet light (42 mW s cm(-2)) rapidly inactivates viruses but HAV is more resistant (T-90 = 2.6 min) than the poliovirus 1 (T-90 = 1.3 min). By contrast, seawater salinity has no effect on virus survival. In presence of SS, 90 % to 99.9 % of the viruses were adsorbed. This adsorption does not provide any protection for viruses with low SS concentrations (3 and 15 mg L-1) but a slight increase in virus survival was observed with a high SS concentration (500 mg L-1). Finally environmental sample analysis indicated that 20 % shellfish, about 40 % river water and 40 % treated wastewater tested positive for the rotavirus genome.
Ce travail a pour but de mieux comprendre le devenir des virus en milieu marin. Dans ce cadre, l'influence de certains paramètres physicochimiques (température, UV et salinité) sur le pouvoir infectieux du poliovirus 1 et du virus de l'hépatite A (VHA) en eau de mer a été évalué, puis l'adsorption du poliovirus 1 sur les matières en suspension (MES) a été étudié, ainsi que les conséquences sur le pouvoir infectieux du virus et enfin le génome des rotavirus a été recherché en milieu naturel (eaux et coquillages). Les résultats montrent que la température est un paramètre important pour la survie des virus puisque le temps nécessaire à inactiver 90 % des virus (T90) en eau de mer est de 671 j à 4 °C alors qu'il est seulement de 25 j à 25 °C. Le rayonnement ultraviolet (42 mW s cm−2) testé en pilote expérimental, permet d'obtenir une inactivation rapide du poliovirus 1 (T90 = 1,3 min). Le VHA est plus résistant avec un T90 = 2,6 min. En revanche la salinité de l'eau de mer n'a pas d'influence sur la survie des virus. En ce qui concerne l'influence des MES, les résultats montrent qu'en présence de 3, 15 et 500 mg L−1 de Na-montmorillonite la majorité des virus est adsorbée (90 à 99,9 %). Cet état adsorbé ne procure aucune protection aux virus pour les faibles concentrations de MES (3 et 15 mg L−1) alors qu'une augmentation significative de survie est observée pour les fortes concentrations (500 mg L−1). Enfin, l'analyse d'échantillon de l'environnement a montré que 20 % des fruits de mer, environ 40 % des eaux de rivière et environ 40 % des eaux usées traitées testées contenaient du génome de rotavirus.

Résumé : Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) refer to a broad spectrum of molecules from different chemical families that have numerous properties. They can be used as pesticides, plasticizers, flame retardants, surfactants, lubricants, etc. Consequently, they are introduced in numerous applications in buildings or used daily by the entire population. Once emitted through evaporation or abrasion in the indoor environment or introduced from the outdoors, their chemical or biological degradation is limited, and they persist indoors. This persistence also explains why some SVOCs that were banned a few years ago are still detected in the air and dust inside buildings. In indoor environments, SVOCs are divided between the gas phase, airborne particles, and dust settled on floors and surfaces. SVOCs are of concern due to their established or suspected health effects and their widespread exposure through different environmental media and pathways. The objective of the thesis was to study the concentrations of 66 SVOCs on airborne particles (PM10) and 48 SVOCs in settled dust in two samples of dwellings randomly selected across France. PM10 were sampled during the nationwide housing survey carried out by the French Observatory of indoor air quality in 2003-2005. The dust samples were collected from vacuum cleaner bags during a nationwide survey carried out in French dwellings where at least one child aged 6 months to 6 years lived (2008-2009). The SVOCs to be analyzed had prior been selected using a ranking method based on their toxicity and indoor concentrations. The data analysis focused in particular on the identification of French specificities in terms of detected molecules and measured concentrations. It highlighted some determinants of exposure, e.g., influence of particle size, type of dust collected, dust bioaccessibility, which are not always considered and limit the comparability of results. The measured concentrations were also used to assess the health ranking implemented prior to this work and to confirm its relevance. The concentrations measured both in the air and in settled dust were compared to study the similarities in terms of concentrations and SVOC mixtures. Finally, the exposure doses to SVOCs were calculated for both a child and an adult to assess the respective contributions of inhalation and ingestion to these compounds in particulate phase in dwellings.
Les composés organiques semi-volatils (COSV) font l’objet d’une attention croissante depuis une dizaine d’années. Utilisés dans de nombreux produits et matériaux du quotidien, ils sont émis dans les bâtiments par dispersion lors de l’usage, par évaporation ou abrasion. Du fait de leurs caractéristiques physico-chimiques, ces composés se répartissent à la fois dans l’air, en phases gazeuse et particulaire, et dans les poussières déposées au sol, sur le mobilier et les objets. Compte tenu du temps passé par la population dans les bâtiments, en particulier par les populations sensibles comme les enfants, les femmes enceintes et les personnes âgées, l’exposition à ces substances mérite d’être documentée, tenant compte des voies d’exposition en jeu : inhalation, ingestion et contact cutané. La thèse a porté sur les COSV présents en phase particulaire dans les logements. L’objectif de la thèse visait à exploiter les mesures de 66 COSV dans les particules en suspension de diamètre inférieur à 10 µm (PM10) et de 48 COSV dans les poussières au sol de taille inférieure à 100 µm considérées comme étant celles adhérant à la peau. Ces mesures ont été réalisées dans le cadre de deux campagnes nationales : la campagne « Logements » de l’Observatoire de la qualité de l’air intérieur conduite en 2003-2005 et l’enquête Plomb-Habitat dont les prélèvements ont eu lieu en 2008-2009. Une hiérarchisation des molécules jugées prioritaires au regard de leur impact sanitaire potentiel avait permis au préalable d’établir la liste des COSV à mesurer. L’exploitation de ces données de contamination a notamment porté sur l’identification d’éventuelles spécificités françaises au regard des molécules en présence et/ou des concentrations mesurées. Elle a permis de mettre en lumière un ensemble de facteurs déterminants de l’exposition (influence de la taille des particules, du type de poussières collectées, de leur bioaccessibilité), qui ne sont pas toujours considérés et qui limitent par ailleurs la comparabilité des résultats. Les concentrations mesurées ont aussi permis d’évaluer rétrospectivement la hiérarchisation sanitaire et d’en confirmer la pertinence. Les concentrations des COSV quantifiés à la fois dans l’air et au sol ont été mises en perspective afin d’examiner dans quelle mesure les particules en suspension et les poussières déposées sont similaires en termes de concentrations et de mélanges de COSV en présence. Enfin, l‘estimation des doses d’exposition aux COSV à partir d’équations simples, de variables humaines d’exposition et des données de contamination a permis une première évaluation des contributions respectives de l’inhalation et de l’ingestion aux expositions domestiques des enfants et adultes à ces composés en phase particulaire.

Résumé : Penaeid shrimp reared in earthen ponds are exposed to sediment, which can, in some instances, induce a stress. In seawater, the osmoregulatory capacity (hyporegulation) is a useful tool to compare the physiological condition of shrimp exposed to various stressors. By keeping some shrimp in cages at different locations of a single pond heterogeneous in terms of sediment quality, it was possible, using osmotic pressure (OP), to identify some locations where the stress was maximum and some others where it was minimum. Simultaneously, sediment samples were taken and analysed in order to evaluate some physico-chemical parameters that could be related to the stress observed in the shrimps kept in the cages. This approach allowed to show a significant positive correlation between the pH of the sediment surface and the shrimp osmotic pressure. This result was confirmed in a study carried out in experimental 70-1 tanks, where osmotic pressure decreased significantly as water pH decreased from 7.0 to 6.5. The methodology developed in this study may be useful to evaluate the stress caused by sediment in shrimp farms. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Résumé : Le fluide chaud produit par les forages de la centrale géothermique de Bouillante (Guadeloupe) est enrichi en espèces dissoutes telles que la silice qui peuvent précipiter sous forme de dépôts solides lors de son refroidissement et gêner fortement la production électrique. L’un des principaux objectifs de ce travail de thèse a donc été d’améliorer l’état des connaissances sur les conditions physiques, chimiques et cinétiques de la précipitation de la silice amorphe à Bouillante. Après une étude des caractéristiques physico-chimiques des fluides et des dépôts associés au champ de Bouillante, des expériences sur la cinétique de précipitation de la silice, sur site, pour une large gamme de température (25 - 90°C) et de pH (4 - 12) ont été menées et analysées en détail.Pour l’ensemble de ces expériences, seule la polymérisation (réversible) de la silice dissoute, sous forme de suspensions colloïdales très stables en solution, a été observée. La modélisation des données expérimentales de cinétique montre que la vitesse de polymérisation de la silice suit une loi d’ordre 2 vis-à-vis de la silice dissoute jusqu’à l’équilibre en accord avec une dimérisation de la silice. Par contre, durant l’étape initiale de la réaction, une loi d’ordre 4 semble mieux adaptée, suggérant des réactions de polymérisation plus complexes avec formation de tétramères. La température a un effet limité sur la cinétique de polymérisation de la silice comparé à l’effet du pH qui est beaucoup plus important. L’énergie d’activation de la réaction globale est de 41 - 54 kJ pour des pH compris entre 5 et 8.La caractérisation de la silice précipitée a mis en évidence des différences notables entre la structure poreuse de la silice solide prélevée sur les installations de surface et celle de la silice colloïdale obtenue par polymérisation lors des expériences de cinétique, ce qui semble indiquer que des mécanismes différents interviennent dans ces deux contextes de précipitation de la silice dissoute.Le deuxième objectif de cette thèse était d’évaluer la possibilité de valoriser la silice extraite de l’eau géothermale de Bouillante dans un procédé de traitement des eaux naturelles par adsorption. Pour cela, les propriétés d’adsorption de la silice géothermale brute et fonctionnalisée par le poly(ethylèneimine) (ou PEI) ont été étudiées pour deux polluants : un colorant, le bleu de méthylène et un métal lourd, le plomb. Les résultats obtenus montrent que la silice brute possède une grande capacité d’adsorption vis-à-vis du bleu de méthylène. En outre, la fonctionnalisation de la silice par le PEI permet d’améliorer sa capacité d’adsorption vis-à-vis du plomb en solution, en accord avec un modèle cinétique du pseudo-second ordre suggérant une chimisorption. Le modèle d’isotherme de Redlich-Peterson est également en très bon accord avec les données expérimentales.
The hot geothermal fluid produced by the geothermal power plant of Bouillante (Guadeloupe) contains various dissolved components such as silica that can precipitate as solid deposits during their cooling and cause serious problems on the electricity generation. One of the aim of this study is to improve the understanding on the physical, chemical and kinetics conditions of the amorphous silica precipitation in the Bouillante geothermal field. After a study on the physical and chemical characteristics of the Bouillante fluids and deposits which can form during their exploitation, experiments on the kinetics of silica precipitation, on site, under a large range of temperature (25 – 90°C) and pH (4 – 12) have been carried out and analyzed in detail.During on site kinetics experimentations only dissolved silica polymerization (reversible) as colloidal gel, very stable in solution, was observed. Modeling of the experimental data showed that the kinetics polymerization is characterized by a 2-order kinetic law relative to dissolved silica until the equilibrium that is consistent with silica dimerization. On the other side, the initial stage of the reaction is better characterized by a 4-order kinetic law that suggested more complex polymerization reactions with tetramers formation.Temperature has a little effect on the polymerization kinetics compared with the pH which has an effect more important. The activation energy of silica precipitation calculated between 25 and 90°C, is about 41 - 54 kJ for pH ranging to 5 - 8.The characterization of the silica precipitate reveals significant differences in the porous structure of the silica collected on the surface installations and the one obtained from kinetic experiments that suggests different precipitation mechanisms. The second objective of this thesis was to evaluate the possibility to promote geothermal silica for the treatment of natural waters containing contaminants by adsorption. Adsorption properties of the untreated and functionalized by poly(ethylèneimine) (ou PEI) geothermal silica have been investigated for two pollutants: a colorant, the methylene blue and a heavy metal, the lead.Results showed that untreated silica has a great adsorption capacity concerning the methylene blue. Besides, silica functionalization by the PEI allows improving the adsorption capacity for lead in solution. The adsorption kinetics curves followed a pseudo-second order model consistent with a chimisorption. The isotherm model of Redlich-Peterson fitted well the experimental data.
