Résumé : International audience
: Previously, we demonstrated that eicosapentaenoic acid enhanced ethanol-induced oxidative stress and cell death in primary rat hepatocytes via an increase in membrane fluidity and lipid raft clustering. In this context, another n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), was tested with a special emphasis on physical and chemical alteration of lipid rafts. Pretreatment of hepatocytes with DHA reduced significantly ethanol-induced oxidative stress and cell death. DHA protection could be related to an alteration of lipid rafts. Indeed, rafts exhibited a marked increase in membrane fluidity and packing defects leading to the exclusion of a raft protein marker, flotillin. Furthermore, DHA strongly inhibited disulfide bridge formation, even in control cells, thus suggesting a disruption of protein-protein interactions inside lipid rafts. This particular spatial organization of lipid rafts due to DHA subsequently prevented the ethanol-induced lipid raft clustering. Such a prevention was then responsible for the inhibition of phospholipase C-γ translocation into rafts, and consequently of both lysosome accumulation and elevation in cellular low-molecular-weight iron content, a prooxidant factor. In total, the present study suggests that DHA supplementation could represent a new preventive approach for patients with alcoholic liver disease based upon modulation of the membrane structures.

Résumé : International audience
The easy-to-use in vivo model, zebrafish larva, is being increasingly used to screen chemical-induced hepatotoxicity, with a good predictivity for various mechanisms of liver injury. However, nothing is known about its applicability in exploring the mechanism called membrane remodeling, depicted as changes in membrane fluidity or lipid raft properties. The aim of this study was, therefore, to substantiate the zebrafish larva as a suitable in vivo model in this context. Ethanol was chosen as a prototype toxicant because it is largely described, both in hepatocyte cultures and in rodents, as capable of inducing a membrane remodeling leading to hepatocyte death and liver injury. The zebrafish larva model was demonstrated to be fully relevant as membrane remodeling was maintained even after a 1-week exposure without any adaptation as usually reported in rodents and hepatocyte cultures. It was also proven to exhibit a high sensitivity as it discriminated various levels of cytotoxicity depending on the extent of changes in membrane remodeling. In this context, its sensitivity appeared higher than that of WIF-B9 hepatic cells, which is suited for analyzing this kind of hepatotoxicity. Finally, the protection afforded by a membrane stabilizer, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), or by a lipid raft disrupter, pravastatin, definitely validated zebrafish larva as a reliable model to quickly assess membrane remodeling involvement in chemical-induced hepatotoxicity. In conclusion, this model, compatible with a high throughput screening, might be adapted to seek hepatotoxicants via membrane remodeling, and also drugs targeting membrane features to propose new preventive or therapeutic strategies in chemical-induced liver diseases.

Résumé : International audience
Several epidemiologic studies have shown an interactive effect of heavy smoking and heavy alcohol drinking on the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. It has also been recently described that chronic hepatocyte death can trigger excessive compensatory proliferation resulting later in the formation of tumors in mouse liver. As we previously demonstrated that both benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), an environmental agent found in cigarette smoke, and ethanol possess similar targets, especially oxidative stress, to trigger death of liver cells, we decided to study here the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the effects of B[a]P/ethanol coexposure on cell death. After an 18-h incubation with 100nM B[a]P, primary rat hepatocytes were supplemented with 50mM ethanol for 5 or 8h. B[a]P/ethanol coexposure led to a greater apoptotic cell death that could be linked to an increase in lipid peroxidation. Plasma membrane remodeling, as depicted by membrane fluidity elevation and physicochemical alterations in lipid rafts, appeared to play a key role, because both toxicants acted with specific complementary effects. Membrane remodeling was shown to induce an accumulation of lysosomes leading to an important increase in low-molecular-weight iron cellular content. Finally, ethanol metabolism, but not that of B[a]P, by providing reactive oxygen species, induced the ultimate toxic process. Indeed, in lysosomes, ethanol promoted the Fenton reaction, lipid peroxidation, and membrane permeabilization, thereby triggering cell death. To conclude, B[a]P exposure, by depleting hepatocyte membrane cholesterol content, would constitute a favorable ground for a later toxic insult such as ethanol intoxication. Membrane stabilization of both plasma membrane and lysosomes might be a potential target for further investigation considering cytoprotective strategies.

Résumé : International audience
Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid present in brown micro-and macro algae, that induces apoptosis or autophagy in cancer cells grown in vitro. In vivo studies confirmed its interest as a natural anticancer compound, as it exerts antitumoral, antimetastatic and antiangiogenic activities in animal models. Studies focused on the pharmacology of fucoxanthin in cancer cells and tumors have revealed that it affects a wide panel of cellular, molecular and tissular processes, suggesting that its biological activity may be related in part to a nonspecific integration in cell membranes, and possible interaction with lipid rafts. Thus, preliminary data confirming this interaction of fucoxanthin with lipid rafts were obtained in mast cells and hepatoma WIF-B9 cells. We here discuss this hypothesis, in view of the critical function of lipid rafts in cancer cell survival, invasivity and communication with the tumoral microenvironment.

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 : Communication between tumoral cells and the microenvironnement plays an essential role in the developpement of tumors. In that context, the new family of metalloproteases, the ADAM proteins, are major regulators of the tumoral progression by acting on the bioavaibility of importants mediators of cellular communication as cytokines and growth factors. Among this family, ADAM12 is the most associated with cancer. It has been shown to mediate signaling pathways by a process independant of its metalloproteasis activity, in particular for TGFβ signaling. This study show for the first time a role for the membrane form of ADAM12 in the induction of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a essential process involved in tumor invasion, whom TGFβ is a main inducer. This effect is mediated by the activation of TGFβ signaling pathways, SMAD3, AKT and ERK and require the cytoplasmic tail of ADAM12L but not its catalytic activity. Activation of these pathways could involve a relocalisation of ADAM12L in special signaling platform in lipid rafts. Moreover, we have shown that ADAM12L interact with ZO-1 and ZO-2, two proteins of tight junctions, and could facilitate their desassembling during EMT. This work underscore for the first time a new function of ADAM12L in EMT, by a mecanism invovlving a modulation of signals regulating this process. A better understanding of the dynamic of these molecular mecanisms could allow the developpement of new targeted therapies to fight against tumoral progression.
Les échanges entre les cellules tumorales et le microenvironnement jouent un rôle essentiel dans le développement des tumeurs. Dans ce contexte, la nouvelle famille de métalloprotéases, les protéines ADAM, constituent aujourd’hui des régulateurs majeurs de la progression tumorale en agissant sur la biodisponibilité des médiateurs de la communication cellulaire que sont les cytokines, chimiokines et facteurs de croissance. Au sein de cette famille, ADAM12 est la plus associée au cancer. Elle possède la particularité de jouer un rôle dans la signalisation cellulaire, de façon indépendante de son activité métalloprotéase, notamment dans les voies de signalisation du TGFβ. Notre étude montre pour la première fois un rôle pour la forme membranaire d'ADAM12 dans l'induction de la transition épithélio-mésenchymateuse (EMT), un processus essentiel à l'invasion tumorale dont le TGFβ est un inducteur majeur. Cet effet est médié par l'activation des voies de signalisation du TGFβ, impliquant les protéines SMAD3, AKT et ERK et requiert le domaine cytoplasmique d'ADAM12L mais pas son domaine catalytique. L'activation de ces voies de signalisation pourrait impliquer une relocalisation d'ADAM12L au sein de plates-formes de signalisation dans les radeaux lipidiques. Par ailleurs, nous avons montré qu'ADAM12L interagit avec les protéines ZO-1 et ZO-2, des protéines des jonctions serrées, et pourrait favoriser leur désassemblage au cours de l'EMT. Nos travaux ont permis de mettre en évidence une nouvelle fonction pour ADAM12L dans l'EMT, par un mécanisme impliquant une modulation des signaux régulant ce processus. Une meilleure compréhension de la dynamique de ces mécanismes moléculaires pourrait permettre de développer de nouvelles thérapies ciblées pour lutter contre la progression tumorale.

Résumé : International audience
La maladie alcoolique du foie se caractérise par une stéatose précoce, qui, pour seulement 20 % des buveurs excessifs, peut évoluer vers la stéatohépatite ou la cirrhose. À l'heure actuelle, la description des facteurs de risque et des mécanismes cellulaires et moléculaires impliqués dans la progression de la maladie restent toujours incomplète. Ces dernières années, les radeaux lipidiques, microstructures de la membrane plasmique, ont été décrits comme une nouvelle cible de l'exposition à l'éthanol. Or les acides gras polyinsaturés oméga 3, présents naturellement dans certains aliments comme les poissons gras, se sont révélés être capables de modifier le microenvironnement physicochimique de ces microstructures avec des effets bénéfiques pour certaines pathologies comme l'inflammation ou le cancer. L'objectif de cette revue est ainsi d'établir un lien entre les altérations membranaires induites par les oméga 3 et leurs effets sur les mécanismes moléculaires impliqués dans la progression de la maladie alcoolique du foie.

Résumé : International audience
Recently it has become clear that exposure to xenobiotics may result in various forms of cell death; not only passive cell deaths like necrosis, or programmed cell deaths such as apoptosis, but also regulated necrosis, autophagy, senescence, or mitotic catastrophe. Complex cell signaling networks influence the processing of cell death. Furthermore, recent research has revealed early complex molecular interactions between organelles prior to the final triggering of cell death. The plasma membrane may play an important role in the early cell death signaling events. Regarding this latter aspect, drugs and environmental pollutants have been reported to affect plasma membrane characteristics which may further affect cell fate. Changes in membrane fluidity or in composition and function of specialized membrane microdomains (plasma membrane remodeling) have been proven to be involved in the regulation of many important physiological signaling pathways, including cell death. Furthermore, it has been suggested that a crosstalk between chemical-induced cellular membrane effects and other organelles may be of vital importance to explain the final outcome of chemical exposure. Here, we review the effects of plasma membrane remodeling on cell survival and cell death; we describe how the cell signaling pathways activated by changes in plasma membrane characteristics may influence cell fate. Since plasma membrane function plays an important role in the regulation of a number of cellular responses, it has been implicated in the development or progress of several diseases. A better knowledge of the effects of various chemicals on plasma membrane remodeling may be important for understanding the pathogenesis of major diseases, and may assist in developing new therapeutic strategies.

Résumé : International audience
Apoptosis has emerged as a fundamental process important in tissue homeostasis, immune response, and during development. CD95 (also known as Fas), a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R) superfamily, has been initially cloned as a death receptor. Its cognate ligand, CD95L, is mainly found at the plasma membrane of activated T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells where it contributes to the elimination of transformed and infected cells. According to its implication in the immune homeostasis and immune surveillance, and since several malignant cells of various histological origins exhibit loss-of-function mutations, which cause resistance towards the CD95-mediated apoptotic signal, CD95 has been classified as a tumor suppressor gene. Nevertheless, this assumption has been recently challenged, as in certain pathophysiological contexts, CD95 engagement transmits non-apoptotic signals that promote inflammation, carcinogenesis or liver/peripheral nerve regeneration. The focus of this review is to discuss these apparent contradictions of the known function(s) of CD95.

Résumé : International audience
The galectin-4 protein is mostly expressed in the digestive tract and is associated with lipid raft stabilization, protein apical trafficking, wound healing, and inflammation. While most mammalian species, including humans, have a single Lgals4 gene, some mice have two paralogues: Lgals4 and Lgals6. So far, their significant similarities have hindered the analysis of their respective expression and function. We took advantage of two antibodies that discriminate between the galectin-4 and galectin-6 proteins to document their patterns of expression in the normal and the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-damaged digestive tract in the mouse. In the normal digestive tract, their pattern of expression from tongue to colon is quite similar, which suggests functional redundancy. However, the presence of galectin-4, but not galectin-6, in the lamina propria of the DSS-damaged colon, its association with luminal colonic bacteria, and differences in subcellular localization of these proteins suggest that they also have distinct roles in the normal and the damaged mouse digestive tract. Our results provide a rare example of ancestral and derived functions evolving after tandem gene duplication.
