Résumé : International audience
Among pregnant women ibuprofen is one of the most frequently used pharmaceutical compounds with up to 28% reporting use. Regardless of this, it remains unknown whether ibuprofen could act as an endocrine disruptor as reported for fellow analgesics paracetamol and aspirin. To investigate this, we exposed human fetal testes (7-17 gestational weeks (GW)) to ibuprofen using ex vivo culture and xenograft systems. Ibuprofen suppressed testosterone and Leydig cell hormone INSL3 during culture of 8-9 GW fetal testes with concomitant reduction in expression of the steroidogenic enzymes CYP11A1, CYP17A1 and HSD17B3, and of INSL3. Testosterone was not suppressed in testes from fetuses younger than 8 GW, older than 10-12 GW, or in second trimester xenografted testes (14-17 GW). Ex vivo, ibuprofen also affected Sertoli cell by suppressing AMH production and mRNA expression of AMH, SOX9, DHH, and COL2A1. While PGE2 production was suppressed by ibuprofen, PGD2 production was not. Germ cell transcripts POU5F1, TFAP2C, LIN28A, ALPP and KIT were also reduced by ibuprofen. We conclude that, at concentrations relevant to human exposure and within a particular narrow â €' early window' of sensitivity within first trimester, ibuprofen causes direct endocrine disturbances in the human fetal testis and alteration of the germ cell biology. © The Author(s) 2017.

Résumé : International audience
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor-dependent genomic effects of environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been shown to be modulated by non-genomic protein kinase C (PKC)-related pathways. The present study was designed to determine whether PKC activation may also impair estrogenic genomic response triggered by PAHs. Treatment by the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was found to markedly and differentially impair the up-regulation of estrogenic markers triggered by the estrogenic PAH benzanthracene (BZA) in cultured human mammary cells; BZA-mediated mRNA up-regulation of pS2 and amphiregulin was thus increased, whereas that of progesterone receptor and CXCL12 was repressed. BZA/PMA cotreatment however failed to alter BZA-mediated increase of activity of a luciferase gene reporter construct driven by an estrogen response element, thus discarding any global effect of PMA toward BZA-triggered estrogen receptor activation. Various chemicals inhibiting PKCs or extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) as well as the knock-down of PKCδ expression counteracted the PMA-mediated increase of pS2 mRNA up-regulation triggered by BZA, demonstrating that it was dependent on PKCs, including PKCδ isoform, and ERKs. This non-genomic modulation of estrogenic effects of PAHs by PKC activation may have to be considered when considering the deleterious effects of these environmental contaminants towards the endocrine system.

Résumé : International audience
Chromatin modification enzymes are important regulators of gene expression and some are evolutionarily conserved from yeast to human. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a major model organism for genome-wide studies that aim at the identification of target genes under the control of conserved epigenetic regulators. Ume6 interacts with the upstream repressor site 1 (URS1) and represses transcription by recruiting both the conserved histone deacetylase Rpd3 (through the co-repressor Sin3) and the chromatin-remodeling factor Isw2. Cells lacking Ume6 are defective in growth, stress response, and meiotic development. RNA profiling studies and in vivo protein-DNA binding assays identified mRNAs or transcript isoforms that are directly repressed by Ume6 in mitosis. However, a comprehensive understanding of the transcriptional alterations, which underlie the complex ume6Δ mutant phenotype during fermentation, respiration, or sporulation, is lacking. We report the protein-coding transcriptome of a diploid MAT a/α wild-type and ume6/ume6 mutant strains cultured in rich media with glucose or acetate as a carbon source, or sporulation-inducing medium. We distinguished direct from indirect effects on mRNA levels by combining GeneChip data with URS1 motif predictions and published high-throughput in vivo Ume6-DNA binding data. To gain insight into the molecular interactions between successive waves of Ume6-dependent meiotic genes, we integrated expression data with information on protein networks. Our work identifies novel Ume6 repressed genes during growth and development and reveals a strong effect of the carbon source on the derepression pattern of transcripts in growing and developmentally arrested ume6/ume6 mutant cells. Since yeast is a useful model organism for chromatin-mediated effects on gene expression, our results provide a rich source for further genetic and molecular biological work on the regulation of cell growth and cell differentiation in eukaryotes.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: Evidence of human sexual transmission during Zika virus emergence is a matter of concern, particularly in procreation, but to date, kinetics of seminal shedding and the effects of infection on human reproductive function have not been described. To investigate the effects of Zika virus infection on semen and clearance of Zika virus from semen and body fluids, we aimed to study a cohort of Zika virus-infected men. METHODS: This prospective observational study recruited men presenting with acute Zika virus infection at Pointe-à-Pitre University Hospital in Guadeloupe, French Caribbean, where a Zika virus outbreak occurred between April and November, 2016. Blood, urine, and semen were collected at days 7, 11, 20, 30, 60, 90, and 120 after symptom onset, and semen characteristics, such as total sperm count, sperm motility, vitality, and morphology, and reproductive hormone concentrations, such as testosterone, inhibin, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinising hormone, were assessed. At days 7, 11, and 20, semen was processed to isolate motile spermatozoa. Zika virus RNA was detected by RT-PCR using whole blood, serum, urine, seminal plasma, semen cells, and motile spermatozoa fractions. Zika virus was isolated from different sperm fractions on Vero E6 cultures. FINDINGS: 15 male volunteers (mean age 35 years [SD 5; range 25-44) with acute Zika virus infection and positive Zika virus RNA detection in blood or urine were enrolled. Total sperm count was decreased from median 119 × 10(6) spermatozoa (IQR 22-234) at day 7 to 45·2 × 10(6) (16·5-89·6) at day 30 and 70 × 10(6) (28·5-81·4) at day 60, respectively, after Zika virus infection. Inhibin values increased from 93·5 pg/mL (IQR 55-162) at day 7 to 150 pg/mL (78-209) at day 120 when total sperm count recovered. In motile spermatozoa obtained after density gradient separation, Zika virus RNA was found in three of 14 patients at day 7, four of 15 at day 11, and four of 15 at day 20, and replication-competent virus was found in the tested patient. Seminal shedding kinetics seemed heterogeneous among patients. Whole blood was the fluid most frequently positive for Zika virus RNA (62 of 92 samples) and three patients remained positive at day 120. INTERPRETATION: Semen alterations early after acute Zika virus infection might affect fertility and could be explained by virus effects on the testis and epididymis. Frequency of shedding and high viral load in semen, together with the presence of replicative virus in a motile spermatozoa fraction, can lead to Zika virus transmission during sexual contact and assisted reproduction procedures. Whole blood seems to be the best specimen for Zika virus RNA detection, diagnosis, and follow-up. FUNDING: Agence de la Biomédecine/Agence Régionale de Santé de la Guadeloupe/Inserm-REACTing.

Résumé : L’étude des représentations de la drépanocytose dans une population scolarisée de l’île de Marie-Galante (N=267), en Guadeloupe, est ici réalisée à partir du traitement des réponses à une question d’association libre qui s’inscrivait dans un questionnaire plus large. L’analyse des occurrences et des co-occurrences spontanément associées à la drépanocytose montre le flou qui entoure cette maladie dans la population étudiée, attestant d’une faible maîtrise des représentations biomédicales. Ce sont finalement le statut et la signification du sang, ainsi que la notion même de maladie génétique, qui paraissent mal assurés, car réinscrits dans l’univers des représentations culturelles et sociales liées à l’identité/altérité et à la filiation.
This paper presents a part of the results of a research on the representation on SCD (Sickle Cell Disease) among a schooled population living in Marie-Galante (Guadeloupe). It treats free associations of the respondents concerning SCD. The analysis of occurrencies and co-occurrencies spontaniously associated to the disease reveals the incertitude surrounding it, attesting thus of a small control of biomedical representations. The status and signification of blood, even as the notion of genetic disease, seem to be ambigious in their answers. They are in fact imbedded in the universe of social and cultural representations related to identity/alterity and filiation problematics.

Résumé : International audience
Bacterial biofilm development is conditioned by complex processes involving bacterial attachment to surfaces, growth, mobility, and exoproduct production. The marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain D41 is able to attach strongly onto a wide variety of substrates, which promotes subsequent biofilm development. Study of the outer-membrane and total soluble proteomes showed ten spots with significant intensity variations when this bacterium was grown in biofilm compared to planktonic cultures. MS/MS de novo sequencing analysis allowed the identification of four outer-membrane proteins of particular interest since they were strongly induced in biofilms. These proteins are homologous to a TonB-dependent receptor (TBDR), to the OmpW and OmpA porins, and to a type IV pilus biogenesis protein (PilF). Gene expression assays by quantitative RT-PCR showed that the four corresponding genes were upregulated during biofilm development on hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants unable to produce any of the OmpW, OmpA, and PilF homologues yielded biofilms with lower biovolumes and altered architectures, confirming the involvement of these proteins in the biofilm formation process. Our results indicate that Pseudoalteromonas sp. D41 shares biofilm formation mechanisms with human pathogenic bacteria, but also relies on TBDR, which might be more specific to the marine environment.

Résumé : La cinematografía contemporánea es uno de los vehículos de difusión privilegiados en las sociedades de consumo actuales. Se considera relevante reconocer la manera en que esta construye sus mensajes y se posiciona en el imaginario social. Los filmes The Bling Ring (2013) de la norteamericana Sofia Coppola, Les derniers jours du monde (2009) de los hermanos franceses Arnaud y Jean-Marie Larrieu y The Great Gatsby (2013) del australiano Baz Luhrmann, tienen como punto en común la incursión en un mundo de lujos y ostentación. El análisis privilegia determinados pasajes textuales, los cuales permiten identificar los elementos constitutivos, las estrategias visuales y los valores sociales que los tres productos cinematográficos emplean en la representación del campo de la sobreabundancia. A pesar de la diversidad de contextos socioculturales, el objetivo es el de reconocer las afinidades textuales al exponer estos ámbitos exclusivos y señalar qué preocupaciones simbólicas y sociales manifiestan.
In current consumer societies, cinematography plays a privileged role as a spreading vehicle. So, it is relevant to recognize how films build their messages and fix in the social imaginary. The The Bling Ring film (2013), by American Sofia Coppola; Les Derniers Jours du monde (2009), by French brothers Arnaud and Jean -Marie Larrieu; and The Great Gatsby (2013), by Australian Baz Luhrmann, have in common the exploration of a luxurious and ostentatious world. The analysis focusses on certain text passages, allowing the identification of constituent elements, visual strategies and social values used by these three films in the representation of the overabundance field. Despite the diversity of cultural contexts, the goal is to recognize textual affinities on exposing these exclusive spaces, and to point out the expressed symbolic and social concerns.

Résumé : A l’aube du XXIème siècle, l’enjeu pour la Martinique est de construire un modèle de développement endogène qui nécessite son intégration dans la Caraïbe. Un consensus existe pour cette orientation, tant au niveau des acteurs économiques que des gouvernances locales et nationales. Mais qu’en pense la population ? Sur le plan diplomatique, cette orientation se concrétise par une adhésion progressive de la Martinique aux différentes organisations communautaires caribéennes en qualité de membre à part entière. Toutes ces avancées s’opèrent dans un contexte socio-économique qui se caractérise pour la Martinique par une population en voie de vieillissement, un chômage structurel et un départ du territoire des jeunes diplômés. Dans cette perspective, le développement des échanges avec la Caraïbe va induire des flux matériels et immatériels, et pour les Martiniquais, des perspectives d’insertion professionnelle dans des pays de la Caraïbe qui ont des taux de chômage plus cléments. Ces éléments de contexte interrogent l’évolution de la société Martiniquaise dans un nouveau paysage international, qui va au-delà des accords politiques et diplomatiques, car il va induire des rencontres entre individus de culture et de pratiques professionnelles différentes, directement ou indirectement, matérialisées ou dématérialisées. Cette étude s’intéresse au point de vue des individus, au regard qu’ils portent sur ce qu’il convient de considérer comme un projet de société et aux moyens qu’ils ont d’y contribuer. Elle s’inscrit dans la perspective du développement de la mobilité professionnelle des Martiniquais dans la Caraïbe et elle fait des propositions sur les conditions de sa mise en œuvre. Elle interroge l’environnement dans lequel s’opèrent aujourd’hui les projets de mobilité professionnelle à l’international des Martiniquais et les représentations sociales qui sont en marche dans ce nouveau paradigme. Comment le Martiniquais peut-il devenir un citoyen caribéen sur un marché du travail élargi aux pays du bassin caribéen ?
At the turn of the century, the challenge for Martinique is to build a model of endogenous development that requires its integration in the Caribbean. There is consensus for this approach, both in terms of economic actors as local and national governance. But what the people think? On the diplomatic front, this orientation is reflected by a gradual accession of Martinique to different Caribbean community organizations as a full member. All these developments are taking place in a socioeconomic context characterized for Martinique by a population in the process of aging, structural unemployment, and a departure from the territory of graduates. In this perspective, the development of trade with the Caribbean will induce the material and immaterial flows and for Martinique, perspectives employability in Caribbean countries with more lenient unemployment. These contextual elements questioning the evolution of Martinican society in a new international landscape that goes beyond political and diplomatic agreements, as it will lead to encounters between individuals of different cultures and business practices, directly or indirectly, materialized or dematerialized. This study focuses on the perspective of individuals and the way they look at what should be regarded as a social project and how they contribute. It is part of a perspective of the development of professional mobility of Martinique in the Caribbean and on the conditions for its implementation. She questions the environment in which today operate occupational mobility projects internationally Martinicans and social representations that are running in this new paradigm. How can the Caribbean Martinique become a citizen on the broader labor market to the countries of the Caribbean basin?

Résumé : Los estudios en terrorismo parecen apuntar al turismo como una industria del lujo y el placer, dos de los valores prohibidos por el Islam. Muchos analistas sugieren que el turismo es una actividad secular que obstruye la vida religiosa, otros sugieren que el lujo desmedido y la ostentación generan un resentimiento precisamente en aquellas poblaciones donde las necesidades básicas no se encuentran satisfechas. Desde otra perspectiva, defendemos la tesis que turismo y terrorismo comparten un origen común, la organización del trabajo en la era industrial. Ni el terrorismo es un fenómeno moderno, ni mucho menos monopolio del Islam. Si por un lado, la lucha sindical devino en un sinnúmero beneficios para la fuerza laboral, beneficios que terminaron masificando a la industria de los viajes, no menos cierto es que por el otro, las demandas sindicales que atentaban contra el aparato productivo capitalista fueron rechazadas y expulsadas hacia las afueras de los contornos de la sociedad. Sin miedo al error, puede afirmarse que el turismo es el terrorismo por otros medios. Desde dentro, la lucha sindical y la huelga fueron los mecanismos legales para lo que fuera de las fronteras fueron denominados actos de terrorismo. A medida que la lógica de producción capitalista comenzó a descentralizarse, y las viejas estructuras de poder fueron recicladas, los blancos de los ataques terroristas dejaron de ser los políticos, o personajes importantes de la cultura, para pasar a ser los turistas. Comprender la función social del lujo es entender la forma en que la organización del trabajo y el terrorismo convergen.
Terrorism-led studies pointed out to tourism as a pleasure industry where visitors experience hedonism and luxury. Many analysts see in tourism a secular activity that intrudes in the religious forms of Middle East, while others signals to the resentment generated by unlimited luxury and ostentation these types of establishment offer. A third view is oriented to discuss a new fresh thesis. We argue that are inextricably intertwined by means of the industrial organization of labor. Nor terrorism is a monopoly of Islam, neither it is a modern phenomenon. If, on one hand, the worker union struggle resulted in a set of monetary and legal benefits for workforce, advantages that led to a mass-tourism, no less truth was that, on another hand, those claims which defied the capitalist order were rejected and expulsed towards the periphery of system. With no fear to any mistake, this validates the idea that tourism is terrorism by other means. Within society, strike and worker union organization served as two legal mechanisms to discipline workers, but beyond the control of society, the same was labeled as terrorism. At time the logic of production was decentralized, as main target of terrorism, politicians and important celebrities set the pace to lay people and tourists. By understanding the role played by luxury at this stage, is a good first step to acknowledge that organization of labor and terrorism converge.

Résumé : Le territoire d’Aysen, au sud du Chili, officiellement dénommé « Région XI », possède le charme discret d’une Patagonie oubliée. Cette région mythique n’a cessé de hanter l’imaginaire fécond des découvreurs et voyageurs en tout genre. Aujourd’hui, ces derniers sont autant des pêcheurs à la mouche fortunés que des routards européens ou israéliens, et de plus en plus des Chiliens venus des classes moyennes et du nord du pays. La Patagonie est un formidable terrain de jeu, et plus encore un vaste espace d’utopie, hier comme aujourd’hui, pour nombre de voyageurs et rêveurs.Le « charme » est indéniable, il suffit de contempler la nature qui domine ici la culture, et la région n’est pas un paradis pour les photographes par hasard ; quant au caractère « discret », il est également évident, comme en témoignent de nombreux touristes en quête de leur propre expérience “into the wild” et qui s’émerveillent en foulant ces sentiers non battus de la Patagonie. Terre de jeu pour aventuriers, lieu de science pour les chercheurs, espace de refuge pour de riches expatriés, territoire d’expérimentation sinon de rite de passage pour quelques jeunes et sportifs, marcheurs, cyclistes ou flâneurs, la Patagonie chilienne est désormais surtout devenue un enjeu, économique et donc politique, essentiel pour le pays.Cet article, fruit d’un travail en cours, apporte quelques éléments pour tenter de comprendre comment se fabrique et s’établit, dans le temps et dans l’espace, « une destination non touristique » qui, depuis ces dernières années, à la faveur des médias, mais pas seulement, a le vent en poupe. Avec ou sans le consentement des Patagons/Patagoniens ? C’est tout le véritable défi à venir.
The territory of Aysen in southern Chile, officially called "Region XI" has the discreet charm of a forgotten Patagonia. This legendary region has haunted the fertile imagination of explorers and travelers of all kinds. Today, they are so many rich fly fishermen that European or Israeli backpackers, and always more Chileans coming from the middle class and from the north of the country. Patagonia is a wonderful playground, and even more a vast space of utopia, then as now, for many travelers and dreamers.The "charm" is undeniable, simply contemplate the fabulous nature clearly dominating culture here, and the area is not a paradise for photographers by chance. As to the character "discrete", it is also clear, as evidenced by many tourists in search of their own experience "into the wild" and marvel treading the beaten path not of Patagonia. Playground for adventurers, place of science for researchers, refuge area for fortunate expatriates testing ground if not some rite of passage for young athletes, walkers, cyclists or loafers, Chilean Patagonia is now mostly become an issue, and therefore economic policy, rather essential for the country.This article, the first result of a work in progress, brings some elements to try to understand how to manufacture and settled in time and space, "a non-tourist destination", which, in recent years, the for the media but not only has the wind in its sails. With or without the consent of all the habitants of Patagonia? This is the real challenge ahead.

Résumé : La manufacture de la soie est une industrie qui fut présente en France, mais aussi dans les colonies durant la moitié du xviie siècle. Elle représentait le luxe dans le secteur textile. Pourtant, il n’y a pas d’études sur la question. Elle est oubliée au profit de la culture du sucre, davantage étudiée. Cet article permet de comprendre les efforts faits afin de l’implanter dans les Antilles. La Métropole voulait développer une alternative au sucre, tandis que les colons voulaient rester dans l’économie servile et rentable avec le système des habitations et des raffineries. La question de la dépendance est présente avec des opinions très différentes.
The manufacture of silk, is an industry that was present in France and also in the colonies during the mid-seventeenth century. It was the luxury in the textile sector. However, there are no studies on the issue. It’s forgotten in favor of the cultivation of sugar, which is present in the studies. This article provides an understanding of the efforts to promote the Caribbean. France wanted to develop an alternative to sugar, while the settlers wanted to stay in the profitable slave economy with system habitations and refineries. The dependence is present with very different opinions.
