Résumé : Food-grade dairy propionibacteria release beneficial short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), folic acid and cobalamin. They induce apoptosis via the mitochondrial death pathway. We investigated their synergy with drugs used in gastric and colorectal cancer.Fermented milk containing propionibacteria and SCFAS acetate and propionate, as well as its cell-free supernatant, induced apoptosis in gastric HGT-1 and colic HT-29. Characterization of cells revealed apoptosis induction evidenced by chromatin condensation, DNA laddering, emergence of a subG1 population, phosphatidylserine exposure at the plasma membrane outer leaflet and cytochrome c release. Interestingly, the fermented milk was shown to potentiate the cytotoxic effect of molecules used in cancer chemotherapy, camptothecin and TRAIL (TNF Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand).These results open new perspectives in the field of colon cancer cells prevention and/or treatment. Such a fermented product, or the propionibacterium alone, may be proposed as a food supplement to enhance the effects of anticancer treatments.
Les bactéries propioniques laitières produisent des acides gras volatils (AGV), acide folique et cobalamine, composés bénéfiques. Elles induisent l’apoptose via la voie mitochondriale. Nous avons recherché leur synergie avec des drogues utilisées dans le cancer gastrique ou colique.Un lait fermenté contenant des bactéries propioniques et les AGVs propionate et acétate a induit l’apoptose de cellules gastriques HGT-1 et coliques HT-29. L’étude des cellules a révélé l’induction de l’apoptose : condensation de la chromatine, fragmentation de l’ADN, l’émergence d’une population subG1, l’externalisation des phosphatidylserines et le relargage du cytochrome c. De manière intéressante, le lait fermenté a potentialisé les effets cytotoxiques de molécules utilisées en chimiothérapie, camptothécine et TRAIL (TNF Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand).Ces résultats ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives dans le domaine du traitement ou de la prévention des cancers digestifs. Un tel produit fermenté, ou les propionibactéries seules, pourrait être proposé comme supplément alimentaire pour augmenter l’efficacité de traitements anti-cancéreux.

Résumé : International audience
Testes of most male mammals present the particularity of being externalized from the body and are consequently slightly cooler than core body temperature (4-8 degrees C below). Although, hypothermia of the testis is known to increase germ cells apoptosis, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms, including cold sensors, transduction pathways, and apoptosis triggers. In this study, using a functional knockout mouse model of the cold and menthol receptors, dubbed transient receptor potential melastatine 8 (TRPM8) channels, we found that TRPM8 initiated the cold-shock response by differentially modulating cold- and heat-shock proteins. Besides, apoptosis of germ cells increased in proportion to the cooling level in control mice but was independent of temperature in knockout mice. We also observed that the rate of germ cell death correlated positively with the reactive oxygen species level and negatively with the expression of the detoxifying enzymes. This result suggests that the TRPM8 sensor is a key determinant of germ cell fate under hypothermic stimulation.Borowiec, A.-S., Sion, B., Chalmel, F., Rolland, A.

Cold/menthol TRPM8 receptors initiate the cold-shock response and protect germ cells from cold-shock-induced oxidation.

Résumé : International audience
Although TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand) is a well-known apoptosis inducer, we have previously demonstrated that acidic extracellular pH (pHe) switches TRAIL-induced apoptosis to regulated necrosis (or necroptosis) in human HT29 colon and HepG2 liver cancer cells. Here, we investigated the role of RIPK1 (receptor interacting protein kinase 1), RIPK3 and PARP-1 (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1) in TRAIL-induced necroptosis in vitro and in concanavalin A (Con A)-induced murine hepatitis. Pretreatment of HT29 or HepG2 with pharmacological inhibitors of RIPK1 or PARP-1 (Nec-1 or PJ-34, respectively), or transient transfection with siRNAs against RIPK1 or RIPK3, inhibited both TRAIL-induced necroptosis and PARP-1-dependent intracellular ATP depletion demonstrating that RIPK1 and RIPK3 were involved upstream of PARP-1 activation and ATP depletion. In the mouse model of Con A-induced hepatitis, where death of mouse hepatocytes is dependent on TRAIL and NKT (Natural Killer T) cells, PARP-1 activity was positively correlated with liver injury and hepatitis was prevented both by Nec-1 or PJ-34. These data provide new insights into TRAIL-induced necroptosis with PARP-1 being active effector downstream of RIPK1/RIPK3 initiators and suggest that pharmacological inhibitors of RIPKs and PARP-1 could be new treatment options for immune-mediated hepatitis.

Résumé : Scope: TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis via the extrinsic death pathway in human colon cancer cells. Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) by contrast induce apoptosis of cancer cells via the intrinsic death pathway. We have previously shown that food-grade dairy propionibacteria induce intrinsic apoptosis of colon cancer cells, via SCFA metabolites (propionate and acetate) acting on mitochondria. We investigate here the possible synergistic pro-apoptotic effect between Propionibacterium freudenreichii and TRAIL. Methods and results: Whole transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that propionibacterial supernatant or propionibacterial SCFA, in combination with TRAIL, increased pro-apoptotic gene expression (TRAIL-R2/DR5) and decreased anti-apoptotic gene expression (FLIPL, 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 culture supernatants or its SCFA metabolites.Conclusion: The revealed synergy opens new applications for food-grade P. freudenreichii-containing products as new adjuvants to potentiate TRAIL-based cancer therapy in colorectal cancer.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), are ubiquitous toxic environmental pollutants capable of inducing cell death. Intracellular pH plays a key role in the regulation of cell survival and death. Our previous works have demonstrated that intracellular alkalinization mediated by Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 1 (NHE-1) is a critical event involved in B[a]P-induced apoptosis. The aim of this study was to further elucidate the mechanisms of NHE-1 activation upon B[a]P exposure. METHODS: We tested the effects of plasma membrane cholesterol enrichment or depletion on B[a]P-induced NHE-1 activation related to apoptosis. We isolated cholesterol-rich plasma membrane microdomains to assess NHE-1 submembrane location and immunoprecipitated NHE-1 from the different sub-membrane fractions obtained to examine NHE-1 protein interactions during B[a]P-induced apoptosis. RESULTS: We found that NHE-1 is preferentially located in cholesterol-rich microdomains and that B[a]P activates NHE-1 via its relocation and binding of calmodulin outside these specialized plasma membrane microstructures; these events are necessary for the execution of the apoptosis-related intracellular alkalinization. CONCLUSION: Plasma membrane location of NHE-1 affects its protein interactions and apoptotic function.

Résumé : Background and objectives.[br/] Dairy propionibacteria are isolated from various ecological niches, including soil, grass, silage, rumen, raw milk and dairy plants, showing great adaptability and robustness. Used as ripening starters in Swiss type cheeses, these food grade bacteria are described as nutraceutical producers and they release into the external medium short chain fatty acids (SCFA), folic acid, cobalamin and the bifidogenic 1,4- dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA). These compounds are known to play a pivotal role in the modulation of intestinal physiology through diet. Considering the pro-apoptotic potential of some of these metabolites, we investigated the potential of dairy products fermented by the main species, Propionibacterium freudenreichii, to prevent colon carcinogenesis. Methods.[br/] We developed a new fermented milk. Taking advantage of milk fractions, high and stable populations of P. freudenreichii were obtained in this product. It was tested in vitro on gastric HGT-1 and colic HT-29 cells with respect to the typical hallmarks of apoptosis. In vivo, the fermented milk was evaluated in piglets with respect to general health parameters and in human microbiota-associated rats, treated or not with dimethylhydrazine (DMH), with respect to intestinal proliferation and apoptosis. Results. Fermented milk induced cell death in both gastric and colon cancer cells. Cellular and molecular characterization of cells dying in response to SCFA treatment revealed cell cycle arrest, drop in intracellular ATP, depolarization of mitochondria, translocation of key apoptosis proteins, processing of caspases and fragmentation of the nucleus. Interestingly, the new fermented milk was shown to potentiate the cytotoxic effect of molecules used in cancer chemotherapy. In accordance, it modulated expression of key apoptotic proteins. In vivo, the fermented milk was evaluated in piglets. Daily oral gavage led to high colic P. freudenreichii populations, to modulation of the intestinal microbiota and modulation of intestinal cytokines. Promotion of piglets’ growth also revealed general probiotic effects of fermented milk. Considering that propionibacteria were metabolically active in the intestine, we further investigated their impact on colon carcinogenesis (induced by dimethylhydrazine, DMH) in human microbiota-associated rats. Consumption of selected strains of propionibacteria resulted in enhanced apoptotic depletion of DMH damaged epithelial cells, yet had no effect on neither proliferation nor apoptosis in healthy rats. Conclusions and perspectives.[br/] These results open new perspectives in the field of colon cancer cells prevention and/or treatment. The synergy with pro-apoptotic chemotherapy molecules suggests that such a fermented product may be proposed as a food supplement to enhance the effects of anticancer treatments.

Résumé : International audience
The aim of this study was to test in vitro the efficacy of TAC, an original G-quadruplex ligand, as a potential radiosensitizing agent for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Two human radioresistant telomerase-positive GBM cell lines (SF763 and SF767) were analyzed, with and without TAC treatment, for telomere length, cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell-cycle distribution, gene expression, cytogenetic aberrations, clonogenic survival assay, 53BP1 immunofluorescence staining, and γH2AX phosphorylation. We found that low concentrations of TAC (0.5 and 1 μmol/L) inhibited the proliferation of GBM cells in a concentration-dependent manner after only 1 week of treatment, with minimal effects on cell cycle and apoptosis. TAC treatment had no visible effect on average telomere length but modified expression levels of telomere-related genes (hTERT, TRF1, and TRF2) and induced concentration-dependent DNA damage response and dicentric chromosomes. Survival curves analysis showed that exposure to nontoxic, subapoptotic concentrations of TAC enhanced radiation-induced killing of GBM cells. Analysis of DNA repair after irradiation revealed delayed repair kinetics in GBM cells treated with TAC. Furthermore, the combined treatment (TAC and radiation) significantly increased the frequency of chromosomal aberrations as compared with radiation alone. These findings provide the first evidence that exposure to a G4 ligand radiosensitizes human glioblastoma cells and suggest the prospect of future therapeutic applications.

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.

Résumé : International audience
The early apoptotic events induced by environmental pollutants with carcinogenic properties are poorly understood. Here, we focus on the early cytotoxic effects of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). In F258 rat hepatic epithelial cells, B[a]P induces intrinsic apoptosis via a mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by the release of hexokinase II (HKII) from the mitochondria. Cancer cells often have an anomalous cell energy metabolism; since HKII dysfunction regulates B[a]P-induced apoptosis in F258 cells, but may also alter cell energy metabolism, HKII release from the mitochondria may represent an important B[a]P-related carcinogenic issue. Thus in the present study, we aimed at deciphering the mechanisms underlying HKII dysfunction upon B[a]P exposure. We show that while glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) regulated the expression of HKII at the transcriptional level, glycogen synthase kinase 3 alpha (GSK3α) was involved in B[a]P-induced apoptosis via a decrease in c-Myc expression. The reduced level of c-Myc caused the relocation of HKII from the mitochondria to the cytosol, thereby being involved in the formation of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis. In conclusion, we show that the couple GSK3α/c-Myc plays a key role in B[a]P-induced early apoptotic cell signaling via HKII dysfunction.

Résumé : Croton urucurana Baillon (Euphorbiaceae), plant species popularly known in Brazil as “sangra-d’água”, is commonly found in Mato Grosso do Sul State (midwestern Brazil), where its latex is popularly used to treat several types of cancer. Despite the ethnopharmacological significance of the species, no phytochemical or cytotoxic studies of its latex have been published. In this context, the aim of the present study was to assess the cytotoxic activity of crude extracts, fractions and isolated compound from the latex of C. urucurana and to investigate the effects of crourorb A1 on the viability, apoptosis, cell cycle and cell migration of human hepatocarcinoma cell lines (Huh-7). Also, we have evaluated the viability of Huh-7 cells treated with crourorb A1 in 3D collagen gels. The cytotoxicity was detected using the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay against six human cancer cells lines and one nontumor NIH/3T3 cell line (murine fibroblast). Studies on the mechanism of cell death of crourorb A1 were conducted in different test systems in vitro. The bioactive ethyl acetate phase obtained from the latex of C. urucurana afforded a novel cyclic peptide, [1−9-NαC]-crourorb A1, that proved active against NCIADR/ RES (ovary, multidrug-resistance phenotype) cells with the same potency as doxorubicin (positive control) and inactive up to the highest concentration tested against nontumor NIH/3T3 cells (GI50 = > 250 μg/mL). Crourorb A1 treatment decreases the cell viability of Huh-7 at dose and time dependent manner associated with induction of apoptosis by caspase 3/7 activation and increasing expression of pro-apoptotic proteins: Bak, Bid, Bax, Puma, Bim, and Bad and clived-caspase3 protein. The JNK/MAP pathway is involved in this induced cell death. Crourorb A1 effect is also associated with G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. In parallel, we observed that crourorb A1 treatment resulted in an increase of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK1), cyclin B1 and cyclin D1 expressions. A significant reduction of Huh-7 cells migration by crourorb A1 can be assessed and we also show that cells grown on 3D collagen gels exhibited increased resistance to crourorb A1 when compared to 2D cell culture.
Croton urucurana Baillon (Euphorbiaceae), est une plante très connue et utilisée en médecine traditionnelle au Brésil, la «sangra-d’água» retrouvée dans l'État du Mato Grosso do Sul (région Centre-Ouest du Brésil). Son latex est abondamment utilisé en médecine traditionnelle dans le traitement de plusieurs types de cancer. En dépit de son importance ethnopharmacologique, on ne trouve aucune étude sur sa composition chimique ou sur sa potentielle activité anti-cancéreuse. L’objectif de ce travail a été d'évaluer l'activité cytotoxique des extraits totaux, fractions d’extraits et de molécules purifiées, isolées du latex de C. urucurana. Nous avons étudié plus particulièrement les effets du crourorb A1 sur la viabilité, l'apoptose, le cycle cellulaire et la migration de cellules issues de carcinome hépatocellulaire humaine (Huh-7). Nous avons également évalué l’effet du crourorb A1sur la viabilité des cellules Huh-7 cultivées dans les gels de collagène en 3D. L' activité cytotoxique ont été réalisées par le test à la sulforhodamine B sur six lignées cellulaire cancéreuses et sur une lignée cellulaire non cancéreuse de fibroblastes murins, les cellules NIH/3T3. L'étude phytochimique de la fraction ‘acétate d'éthyle’ du latex de C. urucurana bioguidé a permis d’obtenir un nouveau cyclopeptide que nous avons nommé [1-9-NαC]-crourorb A1. Le crourorb présente une cytotoxicité puissante sur la lignée cellulaire cancéreuse NCI-ADR/RES (ovaire, le phénotype de multirésistance) à un niveau équivalent à celle de la doxorubicine (témoin positif). Ce composé est de plus pratiquement inactif (GI50 = >250 μg/mL) sur la lignée non cancéreuse NIH/3T3. L'évaluation de la cytotoxicité in vitro du crourorb A1 (test wst1) sur les cellules Huh-7 a démontré que la viabilité des cellules est inhibée de manière dose et temps-dépendant. Nous avons mesuré une forte activation des caspases 3 et 7 et une nette augmentation de l’expression des protéines pro-apoptotiques (Bak, Bid, Bax, Puma, Bim et Bad) ainsi que de la caspase 3 clivée par le crourorb A1. Nous avons également déterminé que la voie de signalisation JNK-MAPkinase semble nécessaire à l’induction de la mort cellulaire des cellules Huh-7 traitées au crourorb A1. Le crourob A1 induit un arrêt du cycle cellulaire en phase G2/M. En parallèle, les expressions de la cycline-dépendante kinase CDK1, des cyclines B1 et D1 sont augmentées après traitement au crourorb A1. De plus, le crourorb A1 a un effet inhibiteur significatif de la migration des cellules Huh-7, en présence ou absence de mitomycine C. Nous avons également confirmé, l’effet inhibiteur du crourob A1 sur la viabilité des cellules Huh7 cultivées en 3D dans les gels de collagène 1 et démontré que les cellules cultivées en 3D semblent plus résistantes au crourorb A1 par rapport aux cultures en monocouche 2D.
Croton urucurana Baillon (Euphorbiaceae) é uma espécie arbórea conhecida popularmente no Brasil como “sangra d´água”, comumente encontrada no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, onde seu látex tem sido utilizado na medicina popular no tratamento de vários tipos de câncer. Apesar de sua importância etnofarmacológica, não há relatos de estudos relacionados à sua composição química ou atividades anticâncer na literatura. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a atividade citotóxica de extratos, fases, frações e da substância isolada do látex de C. ururucurana e investigar os mecanismos celulares e moleculares in vitro responsáveis pela citotoxicidade da substância isolada considerando seu potencial apoptótico e influência sobre a progressão do ciclo celular em uma linhagem de hepatocarcinoma celular humano (Huh-7), bem como, os efeitos desta substância sobre a migração e viabilidade de células Huh-7 cultivadas em geis de colágeno em 3D. O ensaio de citotoxicidade in vitro foi realizado com o corante sulforrodamina B (SRB) em seis linhagens de células neoplásicas humanas e uma linhagem de células não neoplásicas NIH/3T3 (fibloblasto murinho). Os estudos de mecanismos de ação com crourorb A1 foram conduzidos em diferentes sistemas-teste in vitro. O estudo fitoquímico biomonitorado da fase bioativa acetato de etila do látex de C. urucurana resultou no isolamento de um novo ciclopeptídeo denominado [19-NαC]-crourorb A1, que apresentou potente atividade citotóxica frente à linhagem de células neoplásicas NCI-ADR/RES (ovário com fenótipo de resistência a múltiplos fármacos), com a mesma potência que a doxorrubicina (controle positivo), e foi inativa até a maior concentração testada (GI50 = >250 μg/mL) frente à linhagem de células não neoplásicas 3T3. A exposição de células Huh-7 ao crourorb A1 resultou em uma diminuição da viabilidade celular de maneira dose e tempo-dependentes. Nós observamos um aumento da atividade de caspases 3 e 7 e um aumento da expressão de proteínas próapoptóticas (Bak, Bid, Bax, Puma, Bim e Bad) e caspase 3 clivada após tratamento com crourorb A1. Além disso, observamos que a via de sinalização celular MAP/JNK foi necessária para induzir a morte celular em células Huh-7 tratadas com crourorb A1. Os efeitos de crourorb A1 foram também associados com o acúmulo de células na fase G2/M do ciclo celular. Em paralelo, as expressões da cinase dependente da ciclina (CDK1), ciclina B1 e ciclina D1 foram aumentadas após tratamento com crourorb A1. Foi demonstrado também o envolvimento de crourorb A1 na redução da migração de células Huh-7 cultivadas na presença e ausência de mitomicina C. A avaliação da viabilidade de células Huh-7 cultivadas em geis de colágeno em 3D apontou uma maior resistência destas células ao crourorb A1 quando comparadas com a cultura de células em 2D.

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 : Food-grade dairy propionibacteria are nutraceutical producers. They release short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), folic acid and cobalamin, which play a role in intestinal physiology. SCFAs induce apoptosis via the mitochondrial death pathway. We investigated the potential of dairy propionibacteria-fermented products to synergize with drugs used in gastric and colorectal cancer.Fermented milk contained high and viable populations of propionibacteria. This product, as well as its cell-free supernatant, were tested in vitro on gastric HGT-1 and colic HT-29 cells with respect to apoptosis and synergy with known anti-cancer molecules, camptothecin and the human cytokine TRAIL (TNF Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand). Viability was monitored and apoptosis quantified by Hoescht staining, ROS production, mitochondrial membrane potential perturbation and caspases activity assay. A transcriptomic study on genome-wide microarray was performed in collaboration with the company Miltenyi.Fermented milk induced cell death in both gastric and colon cancer cells. Characterization of cells revealed cell cycle arrest, drop in intracellular ATP, depolarization of mitochondria, translocation of key apoptosis proteins, processing of caspases and fragmentation of the nucleus. Interestingly, the fermented milk was shown to potentiate the cytotoxic effect of molecules used in cancer chemotherapy, camptothecin and TRAIL. The observed synergistic pro-apoptotic effect between TRAIL and propionibacterial SCFAs depended on death receptors and on caspases, was more lethal on cancer cells than on normal human intestinal epithelial cells (HIEC), and was inhibited by Bcl-2 expression. Transcriptomics revealed that propionibacterial metabolites boosted TRAIL-induced modulation of gene expression in human colon cancer cells.These results open new perspectives in the field of colon cancer cells prevention and/or treatment. The synergy with pro-apoptotic chemotherapy molecules suggests that such a fermented product, or the propionibacterium alone, may be proposed as a food supplement to enhance the effects of anticancer treatments.

Résumé : International audience
We used K562 cells sensitive or generated resistant to imatinib or nilotinib to investigate their response to mycophenolic acid (MPA). MPA induced DNA damage leading to cell death with a minor contribution of apoptosis, as revealed by annexin V labeling (up to 25%). In contrast, cell cycle arrest and positive staining for senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity were detected for a large cell population (80%). MPA-induced cell death was potentialized by the inhibition of autophagy and this is associated to the upregulation of apoptosis. In contrast, senescence was neither decreased nor abrogated in autophagy deficient K562 cells. Primary CD34 cells from CML patients sensitive or resistant to imatinib or nilotinib respond to MPA although apoptosis is mainly detected. These results show that MPA is an interesting tool to overcome resistance in vitro and in vivo mainly in the evolved phase of the disease.

Résumé : International audience
Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), the prototype molecule of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, exhibits genotoxic and carcinogenic effects, which has led the International Agency for Research on Cancer to recognize it as a human carcinogen. Besides the well-known apoptotic signals triggered by B[a]P, survival signals have also been suggested to occur, both signals likely involved in cancer promotion. Our previous work showed that B[a]P induced an hyperpolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) in rat hepatic epithelial F258 cells. Elevated ΔΨm plays a role in tumor development and progression, and nitric oxide (NO) has been suggested to be responsible for increases in ΔΨm. The present study therefore aimed at evaluating the impact of B[a]P on NO level in F258 cells, and at testing the putative role for NO as a survival signal, notably in link with ΔΨm. Our data demonstrated that B[a]P exposure resulted in an NO production which was dependent upon the activation of the inducible NO synthase. This enzyme activation involved AhR and possibly p53 activation. Preventing NO production not only increased B[a]P-induced cell death but also blocked mitochondrial hyperpolarization. This therefore points to a role for NO as a survival signal upon B[a]P exposure, possibly targeting ΔΨm

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. The "economically developed countries" life style, including diet, constitutes a risk factor favoring this cancer. Diet modulation may lower digestive cancer incidence. Among promising food components, dairy propionibacteria were shown to trigger apoptosis of human colon cancer cells, via the release of short-chain fatty acids acetate and propionate. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A fermented milk, exclusively fermented by P. freudenreichii, was recently designed. In this work, the pro-apoptotic potential of this new fermented milk was demonstrated on HGT-1 human gastric cancer cells. Fermented milk supernatant induced typical features of apoptosis including chromatin condensation, formation of apoptotic bodies, DNA laddering, cell cycle arrest and emergence of a subG1 population, phosphatidylserine exposure at the plasma membrane outer leaflet, reactive oxygen species accumulation, mitochondrial transmembrane potential disruption, caspase activation and cytochrome c release. Remarkably, this new fermented milk containing P. freudenreichii enhanced the cytotoxicity of camptothecin, a drug used in gastric cancer chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Such new probiotic fermented milk may thus be useful as part of a preventive diet designed to prevent gastric cancer and/or as a food supplement to potentiate cancer therapeutic treatments.

Résumé : International audience
Plasma membrane is an early target of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). We previously showed that the PAH prototype, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), triggers apoptosis via DNA damage-induced p53 activation (genotoxic pathway) and via remodeling of the membrane cholesterol-rich microdomains called lipid rafts, leading to changes in pH homeostasis (non-genotoxic pathway). As omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids can affect membrane composition and function or hamper in vivo PAH genotoxicity, we hypothesized that addition of physiologically relevant levels of polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids (PUFAs) might interfere with B[a]P-induced toxicity. The effects of two major PUFAs, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), were tested on B[a]P cytotoxicity in the liver epithelial cell line F258. Both PUFAs reduced B[a]P-induced apoptosis. Surprisingly, pre-treatment with DHA increased the formation of reactive B[a]P metabolites, resulting in higher levels of B[a]P-DNA adducts. EPA had no apparent effect on B[a]P metabolism or related DNA damage. EPA and DHA prevented B[a]P-induced apoptotic alkalinization by affecting Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 1 activity. Thus, the inhibitory effects of omega-3 fatty acids on B[a]P-induced apoptosis involve a non-genotoxic pathway associated with plasma membrane remodeling. Our results suggest that dietary omega-3 fatty acids may have marked effects on the biological consequences of PAH exposure.

Résumé : International audience
According to the World Health Organization, around 20% of all cancers would be due to environmental factors. Among these factors, several chemicals are indeed well recognized carcinogens. The widespread contaminant benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), an often used model carcinogen of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons' family, has been suggested to target most, if not all, cancer hallmarks described by Hanahan and Weinberg. It is classified as a group I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer; however, the precise intracellular mechanisms underlying its carcinogenic properties remain yet to be thoroughly defined. Recently, the pH homeostasis, a well known regulator of carcinogenic processes, was suggested to be a key actor in both cell death and Warburg-like metabolic reprogramming induced upon B[a]P exposure. The present review will highlight those data with the aim of favoring research on the role of H + dynamics in environmental carcinogenesis.

Résumé : International audience
Cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis disruption and subsequent bleaching are major concerns, especially regarding their ecological consequences on coral reefs and temperate coralligenous communities. Cnidarian bleaching is caused by a variety of environmental stressors, such as elevated seawater temperature associated with global climate change, and by pollutants, such as herbicides and metals. Several cellular events have been described to explain symbiosis dysfunction and bleaching. Excess or damaged Symbiodinium symbionts are removed through a variety of mechanisms, including exocytosis, apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy. However, few studies have compared in the same species the relative involvement of these mechanisms, according to the stress inducing the bleaching. In this study, we used two different treatments —temperature and menthol— to induce bleaching in the sea anemone Anemonia viridis. By monitoring the ultrastructural tissue modifications, in control specimens we observed a basal rate of in situ symbiont digestion —or symbiophagy— induced by starvation. Symbiophagy was strongly induced in menthol-treated specimens and was the main cellular process of bleaching, whereas apoptosis and necrosis predominated in hyperthermal-induced bleaching. These results suggested a host effect through autophagy in menthol-treated specimens. These observations also suggested that symbiont removal may result from reengagement of the phagosomal maturation process in the host. These overall data demonstrate that several Symbiodinium cell removal mechanisms coexist and that stressors can activate one or more of these pathways, depending on the stress type, intensity or duration.

Résumé : International audience
The mycotoxin enniatin B (EnnB) is predominantly produced by species of the Fusarium genera, and often found in grain. The cytotoxic effect of EnnB has been suggested to be related to its ability to form ionophores in cell membranes. The present study examines the effects of EnnB on cell death, differentiation, proliferation and pro-inflammatory responses in the murine monocyte-macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. Exposure to EnnB for 24 h caused an accumulation of cells in the G0/G1-phase with a corresponding decrease in cyclin D1. This cell cycle-arrest was possibly also linked to the reduced cellular ability to capture and internalize receptors as illustrated by the lipid marker ganglioside GM1. EnnB also increased the number of apoptotic, early apoptotic and necrotic cells, as well as cells with elongated spindle-like morphology. The Neutral Red assay indicated that EnnB induced lysosomal damage; supported by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showing accumulation of lipids inside the lysosomes forming lamellar structures/myelin bodies. Enhanced levels of activated caspase-1 were observed after EnnB exposure and the caspase-1 specific inhibitor ZYVAD-FMK reduced EnnB-induced apoptosis. Moreover, EnnB increased the release of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in cells primed with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and this response was reduced by both ZYVAD-FMK and the cathepsin B inhibitor CA-074Me. In conclusion, EnnB was found to induce cell cycle arrest, cell death and inflammation. Caspase-1 appeared to be involved in the apoptosis and release of IL-1β and possibly activation of the inflammasome through lysosomal damage and leakage of cathepsin B.

Résumé : International audience
Necroptosis is a regulated form of cell death involved in several disease models including in particular liver diseases. Receptor-interacting protein kinases, RIPK1 and RIPK3, are the main serine/threonine kinases driving this cell death pathway. We screened a noncommercial, kinase-focused chemical library which allowed us to identify Sibiriline as a new inhibitor of necroptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD)-deficient Jurkat cells. Moreover, Sib inhibits necroptotic cell death induced by various death ligands in human or mouse cells while not protecting from caspase-dependent apoptosis. By using competition binding assay and recombinant kinase assays, we demonstrated that Sib is a rather specific competitive RIPK1 inhibitor. Molecular docking analysis shows that Sib is trapped closed to human RIPK1 adenosine triphosphate-binding site in a relatively hydrophobic pocket locking RIPK1 in an inactive conformation. In agreement with its RIPK1 inhibitory property, Sib inhibits both TNF-induced RIPK1-dependent necroptosis and RIPK1-dependent apoptosis. Finally, Sib protects mice from concanavalin A-induced hepatitis. These results reveal the small-molecule Sib as a new RIPK1 inhibitor potentially of interest for the treatment of immune-dependent hepatitis. © 2017 Federation of European Biochemical Societies
