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
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
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) and hemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease are the two most common forms of sickle cell disease (SCD), a frequent hemoglobinopathy which exhibits a highly variable clinical course. Although high levels of microparticles (MPs) have been consistently reported in SCA and evidence of their harmful impact on the SCA complication occurrences have been provided, no data on MP pattern in HbSC patients has been reported so far. In this study, we determined and compared the MP patterns of 84 HbSC and 96 SCA children, all at steady-state, using flow cytometry. Most of circulating MPs were derived from platelets (PLTs) and red blood cells (RBCs) in the two SCD syndromes. Moreover, we showed that HbSC patients exhibited lower blood concentration of total MPs compared to SCA patients, resulting mainly from a decrease of MP levels originated from RBCs and to a lesser extent from PLTs. We did not detect any association between blood MP concentrations and the occurrence of painful vaso-occlusive crises, acute chest syndrome and pulmonary hyper-tension in both patient groups. We also demonstrated for the first time, that whatever the considered genotype, RBC-derived MPs exhibited higher externalized phosphatidylserine level and were larger than PLT-derived MPs.

Résumé : International audience
Hydroxycarbamide (HC) treatment has been shown to improve the clinical course of patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA), a haemoglobinopathy resulting from a single base substitution in the bêta-globin gene (HBB). SCA is characterized by chronic haemolytic anaemia and recurrent vascular occlusions leading to multisystemic complications. Several beneficial biological effects of HC have been documented (Halsey et al, 2003) but its impact on the concentration of circulating microparticles (MPs), a subtype of extracellular vesicles released from cytoplasmic membrane of activated or apoptotic cells and detected at high levels in sickle plasma, remains controversial (Hebbel et al, 2016). The aim of the present study was to compare the MP pattern in a group of SCA patients treated by HC and followed for 2 years.
