Abstract

IF 3.778; International audience; This study aimed to evaluate the protective role of chitosan nanoparticles (COS-NPs) singly or plus quercetin (Q) against OTA-induced oxidative stress and renal genotoxicity. Twelve groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated orally for 3 weeks included the control group, animals fed OTA-contaminated diet (3 mg/kg diet); COS-NPs-treated groups at low (140 mg/kg b.w.) or high (280 mg/kg b.w.) dose, Q-treated group (50 mg/kg b.w.), Q plus low or high dose of COS-NPs-treated groups and OTA plus Q and/or COS-NPs at the two tested doses-treated groups. The results indicated that COS-NPs were roughly rod in shape with average particle size of 200 nm and zeta potential 31.4 ± 2.8 mV. Animals fed OTA-contaminated diet showed significant changes in serum biochemical parameters, increase kidney MDA and DNA fragmentation and decreased GPx and SOD gene expression accompanied with severe histological changes. Q and/or COS-NPs at the two tested doses induced significant improvements in all tested parameters and succeeded to overcome these effects especially in the animals treated with Q plus the high dose of COS-NPs. It could be concluded that COS-NPs are promise candidate to enhance the antioxidant effect of Q and protect against the nephrotoxicity of OTA in high endemic areas.

Abstract

IF 4.258; International audience; Diabetes is characterized by increased lipogenesis as well as increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inflammation. The nuclear hormone receptor liver X receptor (LXR) is induced by insulin and is a key regulator of lipid metabolism. It promotes lipogenesis and cholesterol efflux, but suppresses endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation. The goal of these studies was to dissect the effects of insulin on LXR action. We used antisense oligonucleotides to knock down Lxr alpha in mice with hepatocytespecific deletion of the insulin receptor and their controls. We found, surprisingly, that knock-out of the insulin receptor and knockdown of Lxr alpha produced equivalent, non-additive effects on the lipogenic genes. Thus, insulin was unable to induce the lipogenic genes in the absence of Lxr alpha, and LXR alpha was unable to induce the lipogenic genes in the absence of insulin. However, insulin was not required for LXR alpha to modulate the phospholipid profile, or to suppress genes in the ER stress or inflammation pathways. These data show that insulin is required specifically for the lipogenic effects of LXR alpha and that manipulation of the insulin signaling pathway could dissociate the beneficial effects of LXR on cholesterol efflux, inflammation, and ER stress from the negative effects on lipogenesis.

Abstract

International audience; Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may be partially prevented by dietary habits privileging the consumption of ω3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3s) while lowering linoleic acid (LA) intake. The present study aimed to document whether following these epidemiological guidelines would enrich the neurosensory retina and RPE with ω3s and modulate gene expression in the neurosensory retina. Rat progenitors and pups were fed with diets containing low or high LA, and low or high ω3s. After scotopic single flash and 8-Hz-Flicker electroretinography, rat pups were euthanized at adulthood. The fatty acid profile of the neurosensory retina, RPE, liver, adipose tissue and plasma was analyzed using gas chromatography. Gene expression was analyzed with real-time PCR in the neurosensory retina. Diets rich in ω3s efficiently improved the incorporation of ω3s into the organs and tissues. This raising effect was magnified by lowering LA intake. Compared to a diet with high LA and low ω3s, low LA diets significantly upregulated LDL-receptor gene expression. Similar but not significant upregulation of CD36, ABCA1, ALOX5 and ALOX12 gene expression was observed in rats fed with low LA. No effect was observed on retinal function. Increasing the intake in ω3s and lowering LA improved the enrichment with ω3s of the tissues, including the neurosensory retina and RPE, and upregulated genes involved in lipid trafficking in the neurosensory retina. Those results consistently reinforced the beneficial role of ω3s in the prevention of AMD, especially when the diet contained low levels of LA, as suggested from epidemiological data.

Abstract

Seasonal obesity and fasting-associated hibernation are the two major metabolic events governing hepatic lipid metabolism in hibernating mammals. In this process, however, the role of the nuclear receptor known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α has not been elucidated yet. Here we show, as in human, that jerboa (Jaculus orientalis) liver expresses both active wild-type PPARα (PPARα1wt) and truncated PPARα forms and that the PPARα1wt to truncated PPARα2 ratio, which indicates the availability of active PPARα1wt, is differentially regulated during fasting-associated hibernation. Functional activation of hepatic jerboa PPARα, during prehibernating and hibernating states, was demonstrated by the induction of its target genes, which encode peroxisomal proteins such as acyl-CoA oxidase 1, peroxisomal membrane protein 70, and catalase, accompanied by a concomitant induction of PPARα thermogenic coactivator PPARγ coactivator-1α. Interestingly, sustained activation of PPARα by its hypolipidemic ligand, ciprofibrate, abrogates the adaptive fasting response of PPARα during prehibernation and overinduces its target genes, disrupting the prehibernation fattening process. In striking contrast, during fasting-associated hibernation, jerboas exhibit preferential up-regulation of hepatic peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation instead of the mitochondrial pathway, which is down-regulated. Taken together, our results strongly suggest that PPARα is subject to a hibernation-dependent splicing regulation in response to feeding-fasting conditions, which defines the activity of PPARα and the activation of its target genes during hibernation bouts of jerboas.Jerboa PPARα is subject to a hibernation-dependent splicing regulation in response to feeding-fasting conditions, which define activation of PPARα and its target genes.

Abstract

International audience; Municipal wastewater effluent can impact its receiving environment. In the St. Lawrence River, male fish living downstream from Montreal exhibit increased hepatic vitellogenin, intersex, delayed spermatogenesis and altered immune function. Few studies have examined genome-wide effects associated with municipal effluent exposure in fish to decipher the mechanisms of toxicity. The present objective was to identify hepatic cellular signaling pathways in fathead minnows following exposure to municipal wastewater effluent. Immature minnows were exposed for 21 days to either 0% (Control) or 20% municipal effluent, the highest concentration in the St. Lawrence River. Hepatic RNA was extracted and used to hybridize a fathead minnow oligonucleotide microarray containing approximately 15 k gene sequences. A total of 1300 genes were differentially expressed, of which 309 genes had more than 2-fold change in expression level between control and MWWE-exposed fish. Of those, 118 were up-regulated and 191 were down-regulated. Altered genes grouped according to function, indicated effects on various signaling pathways, apoptosis, immune responses, and cellular metabolism. Pathway analysis software predicted at least 5 signaling pathways that were altered by treatment: cell adhesion, inflammation, various kinases, estrogen receptor signaling and WNT signaling. Various components of the canonical Wnt pathway were dramatically down-regulated, while several other genes involved in the non-canonical Wnt pathway, such as Wnt4, LRP6, and PPP2R5E, which are known to inhibit the canonical Wnt pathway, were increased. These results indicate that municipal wastewater effluent from Montreal can target and inhibit various signaling including those implicated in hepatic Wnt signaling pathway in fathead minnows.

Abstract

International audience; During 1982-2007, alveolar echinococcosis (AE) was diagnosed in 407 patients in France, a country previously known to register half of all European patients. To better define high-risk groups in France, we conducted a national registry-based study to identify areas where persons were at risk and spatial clusters of cases. We interviewed 180 AE patients about their way of life and compared responses to those of 517 controls. We found that almost all AE patients lived in 22 départements in eastern and central France (relative risk 78.63, 95% CI 52.84-117.02). Classification and regression tree analysis showed that the main risk factor was living in AE-endemic areas. There, most at-risk populations lived in rural settings (odds ratio [OR] 66.67, 95% CI 6.21-464.51 for farmers and OR 6.98, 95% CI 2.88-18.25 for other persons) or gardened in nonrural settings (OR 4.30, 95% CI 1.82-10.91). These findings can help sensitization campaigns focus on specific groups.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Germination is a key step for successful Bacillus anthracis colonization and systemic dissemination. Few data are available on spore germination in vivo, and the necessity of spore and host cell interactions to initiate germination is unclear. METHODS: To investigate the early interactions between B. anthracis spores and cutaneous tissue, spores were inoculated in an intraperitoneal cell-free device in guinea pigs or into the pinna of mice. Germination and bacterial growth were analyzed through colony-forming unit enumeration and electron microscopy. RESULTS: In the guinea pig model, germination occurred in vivo in the absence of cell contact. Similarly, in the mouse ear, germination started within 15 minutes after inoculation, and germinating spores were found in the absence of surrounding cells. Germination was not observed in macrophage-rich draining lymph nodes, liver, and spleen. Edema and lethal toxin production were not required for germination, as a toxin-deficient strain was as effective as a Sterne-like strain. B. anthracis growth was locally controlled for 6 hours. CONCLUSIONS: Spore germination involving no cell interactions can occur in vivo, suggesting that diffusible germinants or other signals appear sufficient. Different host tissues display drastic differences in germination-triggering capacity. Initial control of bacterial growth suggests a therapeutic means to exploit host innate defenses to hinder B. anthracis colonization.

Abstract

International audience; To evaluate the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (AL) in a model of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity, male Wistar rats were treated with DOX (1 mg/kg/d; 10 d) in combination or not with AL (50 mg/kg/d; 15 d). Plasma oxidative stress was determined by hydroperoxides (ROOH) and the ascorbyl radical/ascorbate ratio. One and two months later, the functional parameters of the hearts were determined in vivo by catheterization and cardiac oxidative stress was assessed by malonedialdehyde (MDA) and O₂*⁻ (dihydroethidium fluorescence) content in tissue. After two months, body weight was higher in the DOX-AL group than in DOX (+16%), but this was due to ascites. Histological liver alterations were observed in both the DOX and DOX-AL groups. Plasma ROOH concentrations decreased after 10 days of AL treatment, but were greater in both the DOX and DOX-AL groups. After two months, a decrease in the cardiac contractility index (-27% and -29%, respectively) and cardiac hypertrophy were observed in DOX and DOX-AL. These dysfunctions were associated with 1) a reduction in plasma ascorbate levels and an increase in the ascorbyl/ascorbate ratio and 2) an increase MDA and O₂*⁻ content in cardiac tissue. In conclusion, a cumulative dose of 10 mg/kg doxorubicin induced functional alterations in the heart associated with plasma and cardiac oxidative stress. The co-administration of the antioxidant compound AL had no beneficial effects in this situation.

Abstract

International audience; Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) containing traces of iron oxide were functionalized by noncovalent lipid-PEG or covalent carboxylic acid function to supply new efficient MRI contrast agents for in vitro and in vivo applications. Longitudinal (r(1)) and transversal (r(2)) water proton relaxivities were measured at 300 MHz, showing a stronger T(2) feature as an MRI contrast agent (r(2)/r(1) = 190 for CO(2) H functionalisation). The r(2) relaxivity was demonstrated to be correlated to the presence of iron oxide in the SWNT-carboxylic function COOH, in comparison to iron-free ones. Biodistribution studies on mice after a systemic injection showed a negative MRI contrast in liver, suggesting the presence of the nanotubes in this organ until 48 h after i.v. injection. The presence of carbon nanotubes in liver was confirmed after ex vivo carbon extraction. Finally, cytotoxicity studies showed no apparent effect owing to the presence of the carbon nanotubes. The functionalized carbon nanotubes were well tolerated by the animals at the dose of 10 µg g(-1) body weight.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is characterized by the tumor-like growth of Echinococcus (E.) multilocularis. Very little is known on the influence of helminth parasites which develop in the liver on the proliferation/growth arrest metabolic pathways in the hepatocytes of the infected liver over the various stages of infection. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Using Western blot analysis, qPCR and immunohistochemistry, we measured the levels of MAPKs activation, Cyclins, PCNA, Gadd45β, Gadd45γ, p53 and p21 expression in the murine AE model, from day 2 to 360 post-infection. Within the early (day 2-60) and middle (day60-180) stages, CyclinB1 and CyclinD1 gene expression increased up to day30 and then returned to control level after day60; Gadd45β, CyclinA and PCNA increased all over the period; ERK1/2 was permanently activated. Meanwhile, p53, p21 and Gadd45γ gene expression, and caspase 3 activation, gradually increased in a time-dependent manner. In the late stage (day180-360), p53, p21 and Gadd45γ gene expression were significantly higher in infected mice; JNK and caspase 3 were activated. TUNEL analysis showed apoptosis of hepatocytes. No significant change in CyclinE, p53 mRNA and p-p38 expression were observed at any time. CONCLUSIONS: Our data support the concept of a sequential activation of metabolic pathways which 1) would first favor parasitic, liver and immune cell proliferation and survival, and thus promote metacestode fertility and tolerance by the host, and 2) would then favor liver damage/apoptosis, impairment in protein synthesis and xenobiotic metabolism, as well as promote immune deficiency, and thus contribute to the dissemination of the protoscoleces after metacestode fertility has been acquired. These findings give a rational explanation to the clinical observations of hepatomegaly and of unexpected survival of AE patients after major hepatic resections, and of chronic liver injury, necrosis and of hepatic failure at an advanced stage and in experimental animals.

Abstract

International audience; Transporters, such as multidrug resistance P-glycoproteins (MDR), multidrug resistance-related proteins (MRP) and organic anion transporters (OATs), are involved in xenobiotic metabolism, particularly the cellular uptake or efflux of xenobiotics (and endobiotics) or their metabolites. The olfactory epithelium is exposed to both inhaled xenobiotics and those coming from systemic circulation. This tissue has been described as a pathway for xenobiotics to the brain via olfactory perineural space. Thereby, olfactory transporters and xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, dedicated to the inactivation and the elimination of xenobiotics, have been involved in the toxicological protection of the brain, the olfactory epithelium itself and the whole body. These proteins could also have a role in the preservation of the olfactory sensitivity by inactivation and clearance of the excess of odorant molecules from the perireceptor space. The goal of the present study was to increase our understanding of the expression and the localization of transporters in this tissue. For most of the studied transporters, we observed an opposite mRNA expression pattern (RT-PCR) in the olfactory epithelium compared to the liver, which is considered to be the main metabolic organ. Olfactory epithelium mainly expressed efflux transporters (MRP, MDR). However, a similar pattern was observed between the olfactory epithelium and the olfactory bulb. We also demonstrate distinct cellular immunolocalization of the transporters in the olfactory epithelium. As previously reported, Mrp1 was mainly found in the supranuclear portions of supporting cells. In addition, Mrp3 and Mrp5 proteins, which were detected for the first time in olfactory epithelium, were localized to the olfactory neuron layer, while Mdr1 was localized to the capillary endothelium of lymphatic vessels in the subepithelial region. The pattern of expression and the distinct localization of the olfactory transporters showed in this work may highlight on their specific function in the whole olfactory epithelium.

Abstract

International audience; Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is thought to be released during cellular death as an alarming cytokine during the acute phase of disease, but its regulation in vivo is poorly understood. We investigated the expression of IL-33 in two mouse models of acute hepatitis by administering either carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4) ) or concanavalin A (ConA). IL-33 was overexpressed in both models but with a stronger induction in ConA-induced hepatitis. IL-33 was weakly expressed in vascular and sinusoidal endothelial cells from normal liver and was clearly induced in CCl(4) -treated mice. Surprisingly, we found that hepatocytes strongly expressed IL-33 exclusively in the ConA model. CD1d knock-out mice, which are deficient in NKT cells and resistant to ConA-induced hepatitis, no longer expressed IL-33 in hepatocytes following ConA administration. Interestingly, invariant NKT (iNKT) cells adoptively transferred into ConA-treated CD1d KO mouse restored IL-33 expression in hepatocytes. This strongly suggests that NKT cells are responsible for the induction of IL-33 in hepatocytes.

Abstract

International audience; Coagulation factor X (FX)-binding ablated adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) vectors have been genetically engineered to ablate the interaction with FX, resulting in substantially reduced hepatocyte transduction following intravenous administration in rodents. Here, we quantify viral genomes and gene transfer mediated by Ad5 and FX-binding-ablated Ad5 vectors in non-human primates. Ad5 vectors accumulated in and mediated gene transfer predominantly to the liver, whereas FX-binding-ablated vectors primarily targeted the spleen but showed negligible liver gene transfer. In addition, we show that Ad5 binding to hepatocytes may be due to the presence of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) on the cell membrane. Therefore, the Ad5-FX-HSPG pathway mediating liver gene transfer in rodents is also the mechanism underlying Ad5 hepatocyte transduction in Microcebus murinus.

Abstract

International audience; Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are involved in the intrahepatic immune response and in hepatitis. In particular, iNKT lymphocytes are responsible for hepatocyte death in concanavalin A-induced hepatitis in mice. We examined the role of iNKT cells in acute hepatitis induced by a hepatotoxic agent, carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4) ). WT and iNKT cell-deficient (Jα18(-/-) ) mice were challenged with a single dose of 2.4 g/kg CCl(4) and both hepatic physiopathology and immune responses were studied. Plasma alanine and aspartate amino-transferase levels were significantly higher in Jα18(-/-) mice than in WT mice two days after CCl(4) administration. Chemokine CXCL1/keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC) and MMP-8 were significantly higher in iNKT cell-deficient mice than in control mice. The more severe liver injury in Jα18(-/-) mice was associated with greater leukocyte infiltrate, which was enriched in neutrophils (CD11b(+) CD11c(-) Gr-1(+) cells), in agreement with CXCL1/KC and MMP-8 levels. Complementary experiments with NK-depleted animals indicate a minor role for NK cells in the liver damage found in iNKT-deficient mice. Thus, unlike for ConA-induced hepatitis, we report that iNKT cells protect the liver against acute hepatitis induced by CCl(4) and limit neutrophil infiltration.

Abstract

International audience; Peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase B (Thb) catalyzes the final step in the peroxisomal β-oxidation of straight-chain acyl-CoAs and is under the transcription control of the nuclear hormone receptor PPARα. PPARα binds to and is activated by the synthetic compound Wy14,643 (Wy). Here, we show that the magnitude of Wy-mediated induction of peroxisomal β-oxidation of radiolabeled (1-(14)C) palmitate was significantly reduced in mice deficient for Thb. In contrast, mitochondrial β-oxidation was unaltered in Thb(-/-) mice. Given that Wy-treatment induced Acox1 and MFP-1/-2 activity at a similar level in both genotypes, we concluded that the thiolase step alone was responsible for the reduced peroxisomal β-oxidation of fatty acids. Electron microscopic analysis and cytochemical localization of catalase indicated that peroxisome proliferation in the liver after Wy-treatment was normal in Thb(-/-) mice. Intriguingly, micro-array analysis revealed that mRNA levels of genes encoding cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes were upregulated by Wy in Wild-Type (WT) mice but not in Thb(-/-) mice, which was confirmed at the protein level for the selected genes. The non-induction of genes encoding cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes by Wy in Thb(-/-) mice appeared to be unrelated to defective SREBP-2 or PPARα signaling. No difference was observed in the plasma lathosterol/cholesterol ratio (a marker for de novo cholesterol biosynthesis) between Wy-treated WT and Thb(-/-) mice, suggesting functional compensation. Overall, we conclude that ThA and SCPx/SCP2 thiolases cannot fully compensate for the absence of ThB. In addition, our data indicate that ThB is involved in the regulation of genes encoding cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes in the liver, suggesting that the peroxisome could be a promising candidate for the correction of cholesterol imbalance in dyslipidemia.

Abstract

International audience; A comparative study of proteome maps from control and Cd-exposed rat liver was performed using a new technology of two-dimensional liquid chromatography separation method (PF-2D system, Beckman Coulter). Rats were fed for one month 0 or 100 μg Cd g(-1). The between-replicate and between-sample variations showed good repeatability and suitable reproducibility for the two dimensions of separation of proteins. In this complex mixture, PF-2D led to the separation of two major peaks which differed between control and Cd-exposed rat livers, one being identified by mass spectrometry as Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD), a well-known biomarker of Cd exposure, the other as phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein (PEBP). SOD content was decreased in Cd-exposed rat liver, compared to the control group which was corroborated by a significant decrease of SOD activity. PEBP content also tended to be decreased after Cd exposure. Present results demonstrate interest but also limitations of proteomic approach using PF-2D system to analyze effects of chemicals on organisms.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND & AIMS: A high-fat diet affects liver metabolism, leading to steatosis, a complex disorder related to insulin resistance and mitochondrial alterations. Steatosis is still poorly understood since diverse effects have been reported, depending on the different experimental models used. METHODS: We hereby report the effects of an 8 week high-fat diet on liver energy metabolism in a rat model, investigated in both isolated mitochondria and hepatocytes. RESULTS: Liver mass was unchanged but lipid content and composition were markedly affected. State-3 mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation was inhibited, contrasting with unaffected cytochrome content. Oxidative phosphorylation stoichiometry was unaffected, as were ATPase and adenine nucleotide translocator proteins and mRNAs. Mitochondrial acylcarnitine-related H(2)O(2) production was substantially higher and the mitochondrial quinone pool was smaller and more reduced. Cellular consequences of these mitochondrial alterations were investigated in perifused, freshly isolated hepatocytes. Ketogenesis and fatty acid-dependent respiration were lower, indicating a lower β-oxidation rate contrasting with higher RNA contents of CD36, FABP, CPT-1, and AcylCoA dehydrogenases. Concomitantly, the cellular redox state was more reduced in the mitochondrial matrix but more oxidized in the cytosol: these opposing changes are in agreement with a significantly higher in situ mitochondrial proton motive force. CONCLUSIONS: A high-fat diet results in both a decrease in mitochondrial quinone pool and a profound modification in mitochondrial lipid composition. These changes appear to play a key role in the resulting inhibition of fatty acid oxidation and of mitochondrial oxidative-phosphorylation associated with an increased mitochondrial ROS production. Mitochondrial quinone pool could have prospects as a crucial event, potentially leading to interesting therapeutic perspectives.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are complex pathologies characterized by lipid accumulation, chronic inflammation and extensive tissue remodelling. Microparticles (MPs), small membrane vesicles produced by activated and apoptotic cells, might not only be biomarkers, but also functional actors in these pathologies. The apoE2-KI mouse is a model of atherosclerosis and NAFLD. Activation of the nuclear receptor PPARα decreases atherosclerosis and components of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in the apoE2-KI mouse. OBJECTIVES: (1) To determine whether MPs are present in atherosclerotic lesions, liver and plasma during atherosclerosis and NASH progression in apoE2-KI mice, and (2) to study whether PPARα activation modulates MP concentrations. METHODS: ApoE2-KI mice were fed a Western diet to induce atherosclerosis and NASH. MPs were isolated from atherosclerotic lesions, liver and blood and quantified by flow cytometry. RESULTS: An increase of MPs was observed in the atherosclerotic lesions and in the liver of apoE2-KI mice upon Western diet feeding. PPARα activation with fenofibrate decreased MP levels in the atherosclerotic lesions in a PPARα-dependent manner, but did not influence MP concentrations in the liver. CONCLUSION: Here we report that MPs are present in atherosclerotic lesions and in the liver of apoE2-KI mice. Their concentration increased during atherosclerosis and NASH development. PPARα activation differentially modulates MP levels in a tissue-specific manner.

Abstract

International audience; Current treatments for HBV chronic carriers using interferon alpha or nucleoside analogues are not effective in all patients and may induce the emergence of HBV resistant strains. Bay 41-4109, a member of the heteroaryldihydropyrimidine family, inhibits HBV replication by destabilizing capsid assembly. The aim of this study was to determine the antiviral effect of Bay 41-4109 in a mouse model with humanized liver and the spread of active HBV. Antiviral assays of Bay 41-4109 on HepG2.2.15 cells constitutively expressing HBV, displayed an IC(50) of about 202 nM with no cell toxicity. Alb-uPA/SCID mice were transplanted with human hepatocytes and infected with HBV. Ten days post-infection, the mice were treated with Bay 41-4109 for five days. During the 30 days of follow-up, the HBV load was evaluated by quantitative PCR. At the end of treatment, decreased HBV viremia of about 1 log(10) copies/ml was observed. By contrast, increased HBV viremia of about 0.5 log(10) copies/ml was measured in the control group. Five days after the end of treatment, a rebound of HBV viremia occurred in the treated group. Furthermore, 15 days after treatment discontinuation, a similar expression of the viral capsid was evidenced in liver biopsies. Our findings demonstrate that Bay 41-4109 displayed antiviral properties against HBV in humanized Alb-uPA/SCID mice and confirm the usefulness of Alb-uPA/SCID mice for the evaluation of pharmaceutical compounds. The administration of Bay 41-4109 may constitute a new strategy for the treatment of patients in escape from standard antiviral therapy.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE The beneficial effects of the inactivation of endocannabinoid system (ECS) by administration of antagonists of the cannabinoid receptor (CB) 1 on several pathological features associated with obesity is well demonstrated, but the relative contribution of central versus peripheral mechanisms is unclear. We examined the impact of CB1 antagonism on liver and adipose tissue lipid metabolism in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Mice were fed either with a standard diet or a high-sucrose high-fat (HSHF) diet for 19 weeks and then treated with the CB1-specific antagonist SR141716 (10 mg · kg−1 · day−1) for 6 weeks. RESULTS Treatment with SR141716 reduced fat mass, insulin levels, and liver triglycerides primarily increased by HSHF feeding. Serum adiponectin levels were restored after being reduced in HSHF mice. Gene expression of scavenger receptor class B type I and hepatic lipase was induced by CB1 blockade and associated with an increase in HDL-cholesteryl ether uptake. Concomitantly, the expression of CB1, which was strongly increased in the liver and adipose tissue of HSHF mice, was totally normalized by the treatment. Interestingly, in visceral but not subcutaneous fat, genes involved in transport, synthesis, oxidation, and release of fatty acids were upregulated by HSHF feeding, while this effect was counteracted by CB1 antagonism. CONCLUSIONS A reduction in the CB1-mediated ECS activity in visceral fat is associated with a normalization of adipocyte metabolism, which may be a determining factor in the reversion of liver steatosis induced by treatment with SR141716.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the hierarchy of importance amongst pathways involved in fatty acid (FA) metabolism and their regulators in the control of hepatic FA composition. A modeling approach was applied to experimental data obtained during fasting in PPAR α knockout (KO) mice and wild-type mice. A step-by-step procedure was used in which a very simple model was completed by additional pathways until the model fitted correctly the measured quantities of FA in the liver. The resulting model included FA uptake by the liver, FA oxidation, elongation and desaturation of FA, which were found active in both genotypes during fasting. From the model analysis we concluded that PPAR α had a strong effect on FA oxidation. There were no indications that this effect changes during the fasting period, and it was thus considered to be constant. In PPAR α KO mice, FA uptake was identified as the main pathway responsible for FA variation in the liver. The models showed that FA were oxidized at a constant and small rate, whereas desaturation of FA also occurred during fasting. The latter observation was rather unexpected, but was confirmed experimentally by the measurement of delta-6-desaturase mRNA using real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR). These results confirm that mathematical models can be a useful tool in identifying new biological hypotheses and nutritional routes in metabolism.

Abstract

International audience; As the liver is central in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis and energy storage, knowledge of the physiology as well as physiopathology of hepatic energy metabolism is a prerequisite to our understanding of whole-body metabolism. Hepatic fuel metabolism changes considerably depending on physiological circumstances (fed vs. fasted state). In consequence, hepatic carbohydrate, lipid and protein synthesis/utilization are tightly regulated according to needs. Fatty liver and hepatic insulin resistance (both frequently associated with the metabolic syndrome) or increased hepatic glucose production (as observed in type 2 diabetes) resulted from alterations in substrates oxidation/storage balance in the liver. Because AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is considered as a cellular energy sensor, it is important to gain understanding of the mechanism by which hepatic AMPK coordinates hepatic energy metabolism. AMPK has been implicated as a key regulator of physiological energy dynamics by limiting anabolic pathways (to prevent further ATP consumption) and by facilitating catabolic pathways (to increase ATP generation). Activation of hepatic AMPK leads to increased fatty acid oxidation and simultaneously inhibition of hepatic lipogenesis, cholesterol synthesis and glucose production. In addition to a short-term effect on specific enzymes, AMPK also modulates the transcription of genes involved in lipogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis. The identification of AMPK targets in hepatic metabolism should be useful in developing treatments to reverse metabolic abnormalities of type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract

International audience; IL-33 has recently been identified as a cytokine endowed with pro-Th2 functions, raising the question of its effect on invariant natural killer T cell (iNKT), which are potent IL-4 producers. Here, we report a two-fold increase of iNKT-cell counts in spleen and liver after a 7-day treatment of mice with IL-33, which results from a direct effect, given that purified iNKT cells express the T1/ST2 receptor constitutively and respond to IL-33 by in vitro expansion and functional activation. Conversely to the expected pro-Th2 effect, IL-33 induced a preferential increase in IFN-gamma rather than IL-4 production upon TCR engagement that depended on endogenous IL-12. Moreover, in combination with the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-12, IL-33 enhanced IFN-gamma production by both iNKT and NK cells. Taken together these data support the conclusion that IL-33 can contribute as a co-stimulatory factor to innate cellular immune responses.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE—Osteopontin (OPN) plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance and liver complications in dietary murine models. We aimed to determine the expression pattern of OPN and its receptor CD44 in obese patients and mice according to insulin resistance and liver steatosis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—OPN and CD44 expressions were studied in 52 morbidly obese patients and in mice. Cellular studies were performed in HepG2 cells. RESULTS—Hepatic OPN and CD44 expressions were strongly correlated with liver steatosis and insulin resistance in obese patients and mice. This increased OPN expression could be due to the accumulation of triglycerides, since fat loading in HepG2 promotes OPN expression. In contrast, OPN expression in adipose tissue (AT) was enhanced independently of insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis in obese patients. The elevated OPN expression in AT was paralleled with the AT macrophage infiltration, and both phenomena were reversed after weight loss. The circulating OPN level was slightly elevated in obese patients and was not related to liver steatosis. Further, AT did not appear to secrete OPN. In contrast, bariatric surgery–induced weight loss induced a strong increase in circulating OPN. CONCLUSIONS—The modestly elevated circulating OPN levels in morbidly obese patients were not related to liver steatosis and did not appear to result from adipose tissue secretion. In subcutaneous AT, expression of OPN was directly related to macrophage accumulation independently from liver complications. In contrast, hepatic OPN and CD44 expressions were related to insulin resistance and steatosis, suggesting their local implication in the progression of liver injury.

Abstract

Although hepcidin expression was shown to be induced by the BMP/Smad signaling pathway, it is not yet known how iron regulates this pathway and what its exact molecular targets are. We therefore assessed genome-wide liver transcription profiles of mice of 2 genetic backgrounds fed iron-deficient, -balanced, or -enriched diets. Among 1419 transcripts significantly modulated by the dietary iron content, 4 were regulated similarly to the hepcidin genes Hamp1 and Hamp2. They are coding for Bmp6, Smad7, Id1, and Atoh8 all related to the Bmp/Smad pathway. As shown by Western blot analysis, variations in Bmp6 expression induced by the diet iron content have for functional consequence similar changes in Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation that leads to formation of heteromeric complexes with Smad4 and their translocation to the nucleus. Gene expression variations induced by secondary iron deficiency or iron overload were compared with those consecutive to Smad4 and Hamp1 deficiency. Iron overload developed by Smad4- and Hamp1-deficient mice also increased Bmp6 transcription. However, as shown by analysis of mice with liver-specific disruption of Smad4, activation of Smad7, Id1, and Atoh8 transcription by iron requires Smad4. This study points out molecules that appear to play a critical role in the control of systemic iron balance.

Abstract

International audience; In an experimental food chain, Wistar rats were fed cadmium (Cd) in an inorganic (CdCl(2)) or organic (mainly associated with metallothionein from Helix aspersa snail viscera) form. After 1 month of exposure to 100 microg inorganic Cd g(-1) in food, an induction of metallothionein was observed in all target tissues. In liver, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity decreased and alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) activity increased, suggesting that Cd causes hepatotoxicity. However, lipid peroxidation as well as catalase and caspase 3 (a marker of apoptosis) activities were not modified. At a rather low exposure (2.5 microg Cd g(-1)), metallothionein level in the kidney was found to be the most sensitive biomarker of exposure for both Cd forms. In the small intestine of rats ingesting inorganic Cd, metallothionein expression was significantly higher than that observed for rats fed organic Cd. Present results allowed proposing a simple design to assess the effect of a chemical in a trophic transfer approach.

Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVE: High vascular arginase activity and subsequent reduction in vascular nitric oxide production were recently reported in animal models of hypertension. The present study investigated the effects of in-vivo arginase inhibition on blood pressure and vascular function in adult spontaneously hypertensive rats. METHODS: Ten-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats and normotensive age-matched Wistar-Kyoto rats were treated with or without the selective arginase inhibitor N-hydroxy-nor-L-arginine for 3 weeks (10 or 40 mg/kg per day, intraperitoneally). Systolic blood pressure and cardiac rate were measured before and during treatment. Flow and pressure-dependent reactivity as well as remodeling of mesenteric arteries, acetylcholine-dependent vasodilation of aortic rings, cardiac hypertrophy, arginase activity and nitric oxide production were investigated in 13-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats. RESULTS: In spontaneously hypertensive rats, N-hydroxy-nor-L-arginine treatment decreased arginase activity (30-40%), reduced blood pressure ( approximately 35 mmHg) and improved the reactivity of mesenteric vessels. However, vascular and cardiac remodeling was not different between treated and untreated spontaneously hypertensive rats. In Wistar-Kyoto rats, N-hydroxy-nor-L-arginine did not affect blood pressure. Finally, arginase inhibition was associated with increased nitric oxide production. Consistent with this, the response of aortic rings to acetylcholine was fully restored by N-hydroxy-nor-L-arginine, and the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester significantly reduced the effect of N-hydroxy-nor-L-arginine on flow-dependent vasodilation. CONCLUSION: Pharmacological inhibition of arginase in adult spontaneously hypertensive rats decreases blood pressure and improves the reactivity of resistance vessels. These data represent in-vivo argument in favor of selective arginase inhibition as a new therapeutic strategy against hypertension.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Echinococcus multilocularis growth and persistent granuloma, which lead to the development of the severe parasitic disease alveolar echinococcosis (AE), might be caused by abnormal expression of stress-induced proteins, with subsequent abnormalities in T cell activation. Similar to its involvement in tumors, the NKG2D-major histocompatability complex class I chain-related molecules A and B (MICA/B) signaling system could be involved in host-parasite interactions; however, its involvement in helminthic diseases has never been studied. METHODS: We studied MICA/B, NKG2D, and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) expression on liver sections and measured levels of soluble MICA in serum samples obtained from patients with progressive AE. Livers from healthy and cirrhotic subjects were studied as controls. RESULTS: Expression of MICA/B proteins was strongly enhanced in the hepatocytes and endothelial and bile duct cells; in the CD68+ cells of the periparasitic infiltrate, especially epithelioid and giant cells; and, also, in the metacestode germinal layer. Strong expression of MICA/B in the liver contrasted with low numbers of NK cells and lack of expression of NKG2D on the numerous CD8+ T lymphocytes of the periparasitic infiltrate, as well as with the absence of soluble MICA in serum. TGF-beta was strongly expressed by most of the infiltrating lymphocytes. CONCLUSIONS: Sustained expression of MICA/B molecules and TGF-beta might lead to modulation of NKG2D with subsequent inhibition of NKG2D-dependent cytotoxicity. Abnormalities of this signaling system could contribute to parasitic evasion of the host's immunity.

Abstract

Transfer and toxic effects of two cadmium (Cd) forms, inorganic (CdCl2 dosed rat food) or organic (contaminated snail-based rat food) were studied in Wistar rat. Cd concentrations in rat food were 0 and 2.5 μg Cd g−1 for both inorganic and organic forms and a high concentration of 100 μg Cd g−1 was also tested for the inorganic form. Rats were exposed for four weeks to contaminated food. Both forms of Cd were bioavailable to rats, with a percentage of transfer from food to rats of around 1% for all contaminated groups. Cd concentrations in rat tissues increased with increasing Cd concentrations in the food. Rats fed with organic form of Cd accumulated significantly more Cd in the main organ for Cd toxicity, the kidney, than those eating the inorganic form. Survival was not affected for any rat group but a decrease in growth and food consumption was observed for the inorganic form. As a defence system against Cd toxicity, rats increased their metallothionein (MT) synthesis at the highest Cd concentration in the target organs (kidney, liver and small intestine) and even did the same at low Cd concentrations (2.5 μg Cd g−1) in the kidney. At this low Cd concentration, MT induction was lower in the small intestine of rats ingesting organic Cd than those ingesting inorganic Cd. Bioavailability of organic and inorganic forms of Cd was similar, but subsequent Cd distribution within organs was different. This quantification of the trophic transfer of both inorganic and organic forms of a toxicant is a basis for a better assessment of the fate and effects of chemicals in food webs. Keywords: Bioavailability, Ecotoxicology, Metallothioneins

Abstract

Background The interconversion of two important energy metabolites, 3-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate (the major ketone bodies), is catalyzed by D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (BDH1: EC 1.1.1.30), a NAD+-dependent enzyme. The eukaryotic enzyme is bound to the mitochondrial inner membrane and harbors a unique lecithin-dependent activity. Here, we report an advanced purification method of the mammalian BDH applied to the liver enzyme from jerboa (Jaculus orientalis), a hibernating rodent adapted to extreme diet and environmental conditions. Results Purifying BDH from jerboa liver overcomes its low specific activity in mitochondria for further biochemical characterization of the enzyme. This new procedure is based on the use of polyclonal antibodies raised against BDH from bacterial Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study improves the procedure for purification of both soluble microbial and mammalian membrane-bound BDH. Even though the Jaculus orientalis genome has not yet been sequenced, for the first time a D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase cDNA from jerboa was cloned and sequenced. Conclusion This study applies immunoaffinity chromatography to purify BDH, the membrane-bound and lipid-dependent enzyme, as a 31 kDa single polypeptide chain. In addition, bacterial BDH isolation was achieved in a two-step purification procedure, improving the knowledge of an enzyme involved in the lipid metabolism of a unique hibernating mammal. Sequence alignment revealed conserved putative amino acids for possible NAD+ interaction.

Abstract

The recent discovery of bacterial receptors such as NOD2 that contribute to crosstalk between innate and adaptive immune systems in the digestive tract constitutes an important challenge in our understanding of liver injury mechanisms. The present study focuses on NOD2 functions during liver injury. NOD2, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma mRNA were quantified using real-time PCR in liver samples from patients and mice with liver injury. We evaluated the susceptibility of concanavalin A (ConA) challenge in NOD2-deficient mice (Nod2-/-) compared to wild-type littermates. We tested the effect of muramyl dipeptide (MDP), the specific activator of NOD2, on ConA-induced liver injury in C57BL/6 mice. We studied the cellular distribution and the role of NOD2 in immune cells and hepatocytes. We demonstrated that NOD2, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma were upregulated during liver injury in mice and humans. Nod2-/- mice were resistant to ConA-induced hepatitis compared to their wild-type littermates, through reduced IFN-gamma production by immune cells. Conversely, administration of MDP exacerbated ConA-induced liver injury. MDP was a strong inducer of IFN-gamma in freshly isolated human PBMC, splenocytes and hepatocytes. Our study supports the hypothesis that NOD2 contributes to liver injury via a regulatory mechanism affecting immune cells infiltrating the liver and hepatocytes. Taken together, our results indicate that NOD2 may represent a new therapeutic target in liver diseases.

Abstract

International audience; Luminescent hybrid nanoparticles with a paramagnetic Gd2O 3 core were applied as contrast agents for both in vivo fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging. These hybrid particles were obtained by encapsulating Gd2O3 cores within a polysiloxane shell which carries organic fluorophores and carboxylated PEG covalently tethered to the inorganic network. Longitudinal proton relaxivities of these particles are higher than the positive contrast agents like Gd-DOTA which are commonly used for clinical magnetic resonance imaging. Moreover these particles can be followed up by fluorescence imaging. This study revealed that these particles suited for dual modality imaging freely circulate in the blood vessels without undesirable accumulation in lungs and liver.

Abstract

International audience; Hepatic tumors, exhibiting mature hepatocytes and undifferentiated cells merging with cholangiocyte and hepatocyte phenotypes, are frequently described. The mechanisms by which they occur remain unclear. We report differentiation and transdifferentiation behaviors of human HepaRG cells isolated from a differentiated tumor developed consecutively to chronic HCV infection. We demonstrate that, in vitro, proliferating HepaRG cells differentiate toward hepatocyte-like and biliary-like cells at confluence. If hepatocyte-like cells are selectively isolated and cultured at high cell density, they proliferate and preserve their differentiation status. However, when plated at low density, they transdifferentiate into hepatocytic and biliary lineages through a bipotent progenitor. In accordance, transplantation of either undifferentiated or differentiated HepaRG cells in uPA/SCID mouse damaged liver gives rise mainly to functional human hepatocytes infiltrating mouse parenchyma. Analysis of the differentiation/transdifferentiation process reveals that: (1) the reversible differentiation fate of HepaRG cells is related to the absence of p21(CIP1) and p53 accumulation in differentiated cells; (2) HepaRG bipotent progenitors express the main markers of in vivo hepatic progenitors, and that cell differentiation process is linked to loss of their expression; (3) early and transient changes of beta-catenin localization and HNF3beta expression are correlated to Notch3 upregulation during hepatobiliary commitment of HepaRG cells. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate the great plasticity of transformed hepatic progenitor cells and suggest that the transdifferentiation process could supply the pool of hepatic progenitor cells. Moreover, they highlight possible mechanisms by which transdifferentiation and proliferation of unipotent hepatocytes might cooperate in the development of mixed and differentiated tumors.

Abstract

International audience; Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells promote immune responses to various pathogens, but exactly how iNKT cells control antiviral responses is unclear. Here, we showed that iNKT cells induced tissue-specific antiviral effects in mice infected by lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). Indeed, iNKT cells inhibited viral replication in the pancreas and liver but not in the spleen. In the pancreas, iNKT cells expressed the OX40 molecule and promoted type I interferon (IFN) production by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) through OX40-OX40 ligand interaction. Subsequently, this iNKT cell-pDC cooperation attenuated the antiviral adaptive immune response in the pancreas but not in the spleen. The dampening of pancreatic anti-LCMV CD8(+) T cell response prevented tissue damage in transgenic mice expressing LCMV protein in islet beta cells. Thus, this study identifies pDCs as an essential partner of iNKT cells for mounting an efficient, nondeleterious antiviral response in peripheral tissue.

Abstract

To assess glucagon receptor compartmentalization and signal transduction in liver parenchyma, we have studied the functional relationship between glucagon receptor endocytosis, phosphorylation and coupling to the adenylate cyclase system. Following administration of a saturating dose of glucagon to rats, a rapid internalization of glucagon receptor was observed coincident with its serine phosphorylation both at the plasma membrane and within endosomes. Co-incident with glucagon receptor endocytosis, a massive internalization of both the 45- and 47-kDa Gsalpha proteins was also observed. In contrast, no change in the subcellular distribution of adenylate cyclase or beta-arrestin 1 and 2 was observed. In response to des-His(1)-[Glu(9)]glucagon amide, a glucagon receptor antagonist, the extent and rate of glucagon receptor endocytosis and Gsalpha shift were markedly reduced compared with wild-type glucagon. However, while the glucagon analog exhibited a wild-type affinity for endosomal acidic glucagonase activity and was processed at low pH with similar kinetics and rates, its proteolysis at neutral pH was 3-fold lower. In response to tetraiodoglucagon, a glucagon receptor agonist of enhanced biological potency, glucagon receptor endocytosis and Gsalpha shift were of higher magnitude and of longer duration, and a marked and prolonged activation of adenylate cyclase both at the plasma membrane and in endosomes was observed. The subsequent post-endosomal fate of internalized Gsalpha was evaluated in a cell-free rat liver endosome-lysosome fusion system following glucagon injection. A sustained endo-lysosomal transfer of the two 45- and 47-kDa Gsalpha isoforms was observed. Therefore, these results reveal that within hepatic target cells and consequent to glucagon-mediated internalization of the serine-phosphorylated glucagon receptor and the Gsalpha protein, extended signal transduction may occur in vivo at the locus of the endo-lysosomal apparatus.

Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVE: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is among the most prominent cytokines in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is secreted mainly by macrophages. A direct method for restoring the immunologic balance in RA is use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) for silencing the TNFalpha transcript. The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic effect of systemic administration of TNFalpha siRNA in an experimental model of RA, optimizing its delivery using new liposome formulations. METHODS: Murine macrophages were transfected with siRNA targeting TNFalpha, and expression was measured. The therapeutic effect in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) was assessed after intravenous delivery of TNFalpha siRNA. Delivery was optimized using a carrier DNA for complexation with the cationic liposome RPR209120/DOPE. Levels of TNFalpha and other cytokines were measured in sera and joint tissue-conditioned media. Biodistribution was determined using a fluorescent siRNA. RESULTS: In vitro, TNFalpha siRNA efficiently and specifically modulated the expression of TNFalpha at both the messenger RNA and protein levels. In vivo, complete cure of CIA was observed when TNFalpha siRNA was administered weekly, complexed with the liposome and combined with carrier DNA. Inhibition (50-70%) of articular and systemic TNFalpha secretion was detected in the siRNA-injected groups, which correlated with a decrease in the levels of interleukin-6 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1. The main organs targeted by siRNA were the liver and spleen; the addition of liposome RPR209120 and carrier DNA significantly increased organ uptake. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated the efficiency of systemic delivery of siRNA designed to silence TNFalpha in CIA, using a liposome carrier system as a way to address the methodologic limitations in vivo.

Abstract

Although the expression of Pitx2, a bicoid family homeodomain transcription factor, is highly regulated during hematopoiesis, its function during this process was not documented; we thus studied hematopoiesis in Pitx2-null mice. We found that Pitx2–/– embryos display hypoplastic livers with reduced numbers of hematopoietic cells, but these cells had normal hematopoietic potential, as evidenced by colony-forming assays, immature progenitor cell assays, and long-term repopulation assays. Because the microenvironment is also crucial to the development of normal hematopoiesis, we established Pitx2–/– and Pitx2+/+ stromas from fetal liver and studied their hematopoietic supportive capacity. We showed that the frequency of cobblestone area-forming cells was 4-fold decreased when using Pitx2–/– stromal cells compared with Pitx2+/+ stromal cells, whatever the Pitx2 genotype of hematopoietic cells tested in this assay. This defect was rescued by expression of Pitx2 into Pitx2–/– fetal liver stromal cells, demonstrating a major and direct role of Pitx2 in the hematopoietic supportive capacity of fetal liver stroma. Finally, we showed a reduced capacity of MS5 stromal cells expressing Pitx2 RNAi to support human hematopoiesis. Altogether these data showed that Pitx2 has major functions in the hematopoietic supportive capacity of fetal liver and adult bone marrow stromal cells.

Abstract

International audience; Alveolar echinococcosis is caused by the larval stage of the fox tapeworm (Echinococcus multilocularis) and is frequently diagnosed as a space occupying lesion in the liver. The growth pattern resembles that of a malignant tumor with infiltration throughout the liver, spreading into neighbouring organs and metastases formation in distant organs. Thus, one of the prevailing differential diagnoses is liver cancer. Guided by the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) system of liver cancer, the European Network for Concerted Surveillance of Alveolar Echinococcosis and the WHO Informal Working Group on Echinococcosis proposed a clinical classification for alveolar echinococcosis. It was designated as PNM system (P = parasitic mass in the liver, N = involvement of neighbouring organs, and M = metastasis). As for TNM in oncology, single PNM categories were combined into four stages, I to IV. The system was developed by a retrospective analysis of 97 patients' records from two treatment centers (Besançon/France and Ulm/Germany). Recently, this WHO classification was applied to 222 patients in 4 clinical centers around the world (Besançon/France, n = 26; Urumqi/China, n = 46; Sapporo/Japan, n = 58; and Ulm/Germany, n = 92). All patients could be classified who had been diagnosed in the period from January 1998 to June 2005. The stage grouping indicated center differences, but appeared to segregate patients according to various treatment regimens. The WHO classification not only serves as a tool for the international standardization of disease manifestation but also aids to evaluate the outcome of a chosen diagnostic and treatment procedure in different treatment centers in Europe and Asia.

Abstract

International audience; Hypertension is known to be associated with an oxidative stress resulting from an imbalance of antioxidant defense mechanisms in various tissues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the increase of arterial blood pressure, measured during the gradual development of experimental hypertension in deoxycorticosterone (DOCA)-salt-treated rats, and an early imbalance of liver antioxidant status. The levels of liver oxidant/antioxidant markers and iron were studied during the induction of hypertension in 3-, 6-, and 8-wk DOCA-salt-treated Sprague-Dawley rats. Hepatic antioxidant defenses were decreased as early as 3 wk of hypertensive treatment: the decrease of peroxidase-reductase-transferase and catalase activities was associated with a significant increase of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels. Liver oxidative stress increased until 6 wk and remained stable at 8 wk of DOCA-salt treatment. Concurrently, liver iron levels were increased at 6 wk and returned to normal values after 8 wk of hypertensive treatment. Iron seems to be an inductor of liver oxidative stress and responsible for the persistent oxidative stress, most likely through secondary free-radical release. Thus, our data (1) confirm that hypertension in DOCA-salt-treated rats might be a free-radical-dependent disease where hepatic oxidant/antioxidant imbalance is obviously involved from the beginning of blood pressure elevation and (2) suggest that the use of suitable iron chelators might reverse liver oxidative stress associated with the increase of blood pressure.

Abstract

International audience; Humans appear to be refractory to some effects of peroxisome proliferators including alterations in cell proliferation, whereas rodents are susceptible. In this study, differences between the human and rat response to peroxisome proliferators were evaluated using rat and human tumour liver cell lines. Rat 7777 cells were more responsive than human HepG2 cells to ciprofibrate as they exhibited a higher decrease in cell number than HepG2, and underwent apoptosis. Results from these studies reveal a surprising response in tumour cell lines as the typical in vivo response of increased cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis was not observed in rat tumour cell lines at concentrations greater than those used to elicit the former response.

Abstract

To characterize the behavior of magnetofluorescent products injected in mice intravenously.The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) products were labelled with fluorescent molecules to examine the biodistribution process in vivo and observe them at the cellular level by means of confocal microscopy. Three-dimensional (3D) sequences of images were obtained by spectral analysis of sample preparations in a multiphoton confocal microscope and analyzed by the factor analysis of medical image sequence algorithm, which provides factor curves. Factor images are the result of image-processing methods that utilize information from emission spectra. Preparations are also screened in the counting mode to provide fluorescent lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) characterizations.Factor images and FLIM images can help to analyze MRI targeting inside the liver and thoracic aorta of mice. They show positive detection of Fe-Texas red and BOPTA-Eu in the liver and positive detection of Fe-Texas red and negative detection of BOPTA-Eu inside the thoracic aorta.This investigation established the utility of fluorescent MRI contrast agents as in vivo staining tools for cellular sites.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a helminth zoonosis which is encountered only in the northern hemisphere. In central France, the Auvergne region represents the most western and southern extension of this helminthiasis. In 1999, a human case of AE was diagnosed in the southern part of the Cantal department, where AE was supposed absent, and an epidemiological survey was subsequently carried out. The transmission of the zoonosis in the sylvatic and peridomestic definitive hosts was studied, as well as that in the rodent and human intermediate hosts. Eleven red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were shot, and 50 fox faecal deposits were collected. Twelve farm dogs had their faeces taken by rectal touch, and four were checked after arecoline purgation. Optical detection ofEchinococcus multilocularisworms was achieved on fox intestines after scraping, and also on dog stools after arecoline therapy. Coproantigen ELISA assay was performed for the 11 scraping products, for the 50 fox faeces, and for the 12 dog faecal samples. No adult AE agent was observed by microscopy, and the ELISA assay yielded positive results in one of 11 fox intestines, one of 50 fox faeces, and 2 of 12 dog faecal samples. Twenty-five small mammals were trapped, of which 19 wereArvicola terrestriswater voles. One rodent liver exhibited a hepatic lesion consistent with AE. An epidemiological questionnaire was completed in 85 human volunteers, who were also serologically tested for AE. Only one (the case's husband) exhibited a Western-blotting pattern indicative of a low-grade AE infection. The results of this preliminary study suggested a slow AE extension to the south of Cantal department from the northern focus.

Abstract

International audience; Mammalian AMP-activated protein kinase presents strong structural and functional similarities with the yeast sucrose non-fermenting 1 (Snf1) kinase involved in the derepression of glucose-repressed genes. It is now clearly established that AMP-activated protein kinase in the liver decreases glycolytic/lipogenic gene expression as well as genes involved in hepatic glucose production. This is achieved through a decreased transcriptional efficiency of transcription factors such as sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein-1c, carbohydrate-response-element-binding protein, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha or forkhead-related protein. Clearly, the long-term consequences of AMP-activated protein kinase activation have to be taken into account if activators of this enzyme are to be designed as anti-diabetic drugs.

Abstract

International audience; In vitro, the transcription factor sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) mimics the positive effects of insulin on hepatic genes involved in glucose utilization, such as glucokinase (GK) and enzymes of the lipogenic pathway, suggesting that it is a key factor in the control of hepatic glucose metabolism. Decreased glucose utilization and increased glucose production by the liver play an important role in the development of the hyperglycemia in diabetic states. We thus reasoned that if SREBP-1c is indeed a mediator of hepatic insulin action, a hepatic targeted overexpression of SREBP-1c should greatly improve glucose homeostasis in diabetic mice. This was achieved by injecting streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice with a recombinant adenovirus containing the cDNA of the mature, transcriptionally active form of SREBP-1c. We show here that overexpressing SREBP-1c specifically in the liver of diabetic mice induces GK and lipogenic enzyme gene expression and represses the expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, a key enzyme of the gluconeogenic pathway. This in turn increases glycogen and triglyceride hepatic content and leads to a marked decrease in hyperglycemia in diabetic mice. We conclude that SREBP-1c has a major role in vivo in the long-term control of glucose homeostasis by insulin.

Abstract

International audience; Effects of insulin on the expression of liver-specific genes are part of the adaptive mechanisms aimed at maintaining energy homeostasis in mammals. When the diet is rich in carbohydrates, secreted insulin stimulates the expression of genes for enzymes involved in glucose utilization (glucokinase, L-type pyruvate kinase and lipogenic enzymes) and inhibits genes for enzymes involved in glucose production (phosphenolpyruvate carboxykinase). The mechanisms by which insulin controls the expression of these genes have been poorly understood. Recently, the transcription factor sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein 1c has been proposed as a key mediator of insulin transcriptional effects. Here we review the evidence that has led to this proposal and the consequences for our understanding of insulin effects in physiological or pathological conditions.

Abstract

International audience; In the liver, glucose induces the expression of a number of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism, e.g., those encoding L-type pyruvate kinase and fatty acid synthase. Recent evidence has indicated a role for the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the inhibition of glucose-activated gene expression in hepatocytes. It remains unclear, however, whether AMPK is involved in the glucose induction of these genes. In order to study further the role of AMPK in regulating gene expression, we have generated two mutant forms of AMPK. One of these (alpha1(312)) acts as a constitutively active kinase, while the other (alpha1DN) acts as a dominant negative inhibitor of endogenous AMPK. We have used adenovirus-mediated gene transfer to express these mutants in primary rat hepatocytes in culture in order to determine their effect on AMPK activity and the transcription of glucose-activated genes. Expression of alpha1(312) increased AMPK activity in hepatocytes and blocked completely the induction of a number of glucose-activated genes in response to 25 mM glucose. This effect is similar to that observed following activation of AMPK by 5-amino-imidazolecarboxamide riboside. Expression of alpha1DN markedly inhibited both basal and stimulated activity of endogenous AMPK but had no effect on the transcription of glucose-activated genes. Our results suggest that AMPK is involved in the inhibition of glucose-activated gene expression but not in the induction pathway. This study demonstrates that the two mutants we have described will provide valuable tools for studying the wider physiological role of AMPK.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a severe chronic parasitic disease which behaves like a slow-growing liver cancer. Clinical observations suggest that the parasite, Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) influences liver homeostasis and hepatic cell metabolism. However, this has never been analyzed during the time course of infection in the common model of secondary echinococcosis in experimental mice. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Gene expression profiles were assessed using DNA microarray analysis, 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after injection of E. multilocularis metacestode in the liver of susceptible mice. Data were collected at different time points to monitor the dynamic behavior of gene expression. 557 differentially expressed genes were identified at one or more time points, including 351 up-regulated and 228 down-regulated genes. Time-course analysis indicated, at the initial stage of E. multilocularis infection (month 1-2), that most of up-regulated pathways were related to immune processes and cell trafficking such as chemokine-, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, and down-regulated pathways were related to xenobiotic metabolism; at the middle stage (month 3), MAPK signaling pathway was maintained and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway emerged; at the late stage (month 6), most of up-regulated pathways were related to PPAR signaling pathway, complement and coagulation cascades, while down-regulated pathways were related to metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of a random selection of 19 genes confirmed the reliability of the microarray data. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was increased in the liver of E. multilocularis infected mice from 2 months to 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: E. multilocularis metacestode definitely exerts a deep influence on liver homeostasis, by modifying a number of gene expression and metabolic pathways. It especially promotes hepatic cell proliferation, as evidenced by the increased PCNA constantly found in all the experimental time-points we studied and by an increased gene expression of key metabolic pathways.
