The reaction mechanism of etherification of β-citronellene with ethanol in liquid phase over acid zeolite beta is revealed by in situ solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy. Comparison of 13C Hahn-echo and ¹H-13C cross-polarization NMR characteristics is used to discriminate between molecules freely moving in liquid phase outside the zeolite and molecules adsorbed inside zeolite pores and in pore mouths. In the absence of ethanol, β-citronellene molecules enter zeolite pores and react to isomers. In the presence of ethanol, the concentration of β-citronellene inside zeolite pores is very low because of preferential adsorption of ethanol. The etherification reaction proceeds by adsorption of β-citronellene molecule from the external liquid phase in a pore opening where it reacts with ethanol from inside the pore. By competitive adsorption, ethanol prevents the undesired side reaction of β-citronellene isomerization inside zeolite pores. β-citronellene etherification on zeolite beta is suppressed by bulky base molecules (2,4,6-collidine and 2,6-ditertiarybutylpyridine) that do not enter the zeolite pores confirming the involvement of easily accessible acid sites in pore openings. The use of in situ solid-state NMR to probe the transition from intracrystalline catalysis to pore mouth catalysis depending on reaction conditions is demonstrated for the first time. The study further highlights the potential of this NMR approach for investigations of adsorption of multicomponent mixtures in general. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Worldwide, cardiometabolic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)) have acquired almost epidemic proportions in the past few decades due to the widespread adoption of a western lifestyle. They compromise heart and liver functions and underlie the two main causes of death worldwide, ischemic heart disease and stroke. The development of these diseases is characterized by lipid accumulation, inflammatory responses, and metabolic dysfunction in the arterial wall (a process referred to as atherosclerosis) and liver (“fatty liver disease” or NAFLD). For both, macrophages and their precursors, monocytes, are important contributors. The rapid development in high-throughput and imaging technologies have enabled researchers to detect profiles of genes, proteins, and metabolites within individuals and cells. These techniques are increasingly applied to study cardiometabolic diseases. However, their potential to explore the pathogenesis has not been fully exploited. This thesis analysed high-dimensional omics and imaging data of plaque and liver through a combination of computational strategies including statistical inference, machine learning and image processing, to dissect the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and NAFLD at the molecular and spatial level.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation linked to the retention of oxidized LDL on the surface of the arterial wall leading to the formation of so-called "atherosclerotic" plaques prone to rupture and to further cardiovascular events (stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism). Macrophages infiltrate the arterial wall, phagocytose oxidized LDL and become foamy. They are therefore particularly involved in the formation of these plaques and their evolution towards rupture. This thesis focuses on the development of a pathophysiological model of foamy macrophages in order to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting this population. Human primary macrophages were stimulated with oxidized LDL as well as a pool extract of human carotid atheromatous plaques, to mimic the pathological microenvironment. We have thus demonstrated that these foamy macrophages coexpress on their surface the inflammatory markers CD40, CD86 and CD197, and the immunoregulatory markers CD163, CD206 and CD200R, but with a basal level. We then focused on their functional characterization by analyzing naturally autofluorescent NADH and FAD energy metabolism intermediates, using two-photon fluorescence microscopy. These enzymatic cofactors are produced differentially depending on the metabolic pathways used by the cells (glycolysis for M1, mitochondrial respiration for M2). We have shown that M1, M2 and our model of foamy macrophages, are optically distinguishable under two-photon microscopy. These results allow us to consider the development of new in vivo diagnostic devices based on optical imaging for monitoring the metabolic cellular activity of macrophages. In addition, we have obtained, by phage-display technology, human antibodies that will be useful to further characterize this model and for the development of new strategies for patient stratification and immunotherapy. For this, the metabolic differences of the macrophage subpopulations observed in two-photon microscopy will be used to develop a functional assay allowing the selection of antibodies capable of restoring an atheroprotective function (induction of immunoregulation or cholesterol efflux).; L’athérosclérose est une inflammation chronique liée à la rétention de LDL oxydées à la surface de la paroi des vaisseaux artériels conduisant à la formation de plaques dites « athérosclérotiques » susceptibles de se rompre et de conduire à des accidents cardiovasculaires (AVC, infarctus, embolies pulmonaires). Les macrophages, après avoir infiltré la paroi des artères, phagocytent les LDL oxydées et deviennent spumeux. Ils sont donc particulièrement impliqués dans la formation de ces plaques et leur évolution vers la rupture. Cette thèse porte sur la mise au point d’un modèle physiopathologique de macrophages spumeux de manière à développer de nouvelles stratégies de diagnostic et de thérapie ciblant cette population. Pour cela, des macrophages primaires humains ont été stimulés avec des LDL oxydées ainsi qu’un extrait de pool de plaques d’athérome carotidiennes humaines, de manière à mimer le microenvironnement pathologique. Nous avons ainsi mis en évidence que ces macrophages spumeux coexpriment à leur surface les marqueurs inflammatoires CD40, CD86 et CD197, et les marqueurs immunorégulateurs CD163, CD206 et CD200R, mais avec un niveau basal. Nous avons ensuite abordé leur caractérisation fonctionnelle par l’observation, en microscopie de fluorescence bi-photonique, d’intermédiaires du métabolisme énergétique naturellement autofluorescents : le NADH et le FAD. Ces cofacteurs enzymatiques sont produits différentiellement selon les voies métaboliques empruntées par les cellules (glycolyse pour les M1, respiration mitochondriale pour les M2). Nous avons montré que les M1, les M2 et notre modèle de macrophages spumeux, sont distinguables optiquement en microscopie bi-photonique. Ces résultats permettent d’envisager le développement de nouveaux dispositifs de diagnostic in vivo basés sur l’imagerie optique de l’activité cellulaire métabolique des macrophages. Par ailleurs, nous avons obtenu, par la technologie de phage-display, des anticorps humains qui seront utiles à la poursuite de la caractérisation de ce modèle et pour le développement de nouvelles stratégies de stratification des patients et d’immunothérapie. Pour cela, les différences métaboliques des sous-populations macrophagiques observées en microscopie bi-photonique seront mises à profit pour l’élaboration d’un test fonctionnel permettant de sélectionner les anticorps capables de restaurer une fonction athéroprotective (induction d’une immunorégulation ou de l’efflux de cholestérol).

- Abstract
Introduction: The impact of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, encompassing various biological determinants and unhealthy lifestyles, on the functional dynamics of circulating monocytes-a pivotal cell type in CVD pathophysiology remains elusive. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the influence of CVD risk factors on monocyte transcriptional responses to an infectious stimulus., Methods: We conducted a comparative analysis of monocyte gene expression profiles from the CTMM - CIRCULATING CELLS Cohort of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, at baseline and after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Gene co-expression analysis was used to identify gene modules and their correlations with CVD risk factors, while pivotal transcription factors controlling the hub genes in these modules were identified by regulatory network analyses. The identified gene module was subjected to a drug repurposing screen, utilizing the LINCS L1000 database., Results: Monocyte responsiveness to LPS showed a highly significant, negative correlation with blood pressure levels (ρ< -0.4; P<10
-80 ). We identified a ZNF12/ZBTB43-driven gene module closely linked to diastolic blood pressure, suggesting that monocyte responses to infectious stimuli, such as LPS, are attenuated in CAD patients with elevated diastolic blood pressure. This attenuation appears associated with a dampening of the LPS-induced suppression of oxidative phosphorylation. Finally, we identified the serine-threonine inhibitor MW-STK33-97 as a drug candidate capable of reversing this aberrant LPS response., Conclusions: Monocyte responses to infectious stimuli may be hampered in CAD patients with high diastolic blood pressure and this attenuated inflammatory response may be reversed by the serine-threonine inhibitor MW-STK33-97. Whether the identified gene module is a mere indicator of, or causal factor in diastolic blood pressure and the associated dampened LPS responses remains to be determined., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Lu, Donners, de Baaij, Jin, Otten, Manca, van Zonneveld, Jukema, Kraaijeveld, Kuiper, Pasterkamp, Mees, Sluimer, Cavill, Karel, Goossens and Biessen.)- Published

- Abstract
Inflammatory responses and cholesterol homeostasis are interconnected in atherogenesis. Interleukin (IL)-10 is an important anti-inflammatory cytokine, known to suppress atherosclerosis development. However, the specific cell types responsible for the atheroprotective effects of IL-10 remain to be defined and knowledge on the actions of IL-10 in cholesterol homeostasis is scarce. Here we investigated the functional involvement of myeloid IL-10-mediated atheroprotection. To do so, bone marrow from IL-10 receptor 1 (IL-10R1) wild-type and myeloid IL-10R1-deficient mice was transplanted to lethally irradiated female LDLR-/- mice. Hereafter, mice were given a high cholesterol diet for 10 weeks after which atherosclerosis development and cholesterol metabolism were investigated. In vitro, myeloid IL-10R1 deficiency resulted in a pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. However, in vivo significantly reduced lesion size and severity was observed. This phenotype was associated with lower myeloid cell accumulation and more apoptosis in the lesions. Additionally, a profound reduction in plasma and liver cholesterol was observed upon myeloid IL-10R1 deficiency, which was reflected in plaque lipid content. This decreased hypercholesterolaemia was associated with lowered very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, likely as a response to decreased intestinal cholesterol absorption. In addition, IL-10R1 deficient mice demonstrated substantially higher faecal sterol loss caused by increased non-biliary cholesterol efflux. The induction of this process was linked to impaired ACAT2-mediated esterification of liver and plasma cholesterol. Overall, myeloid cells do not contribute to IL-10-mediated atheroprotection. In addition, this study demonstrates a novel connection between IL-10-mediated inflammation and cholesterol homeostasis in atherosclerosis. These findings make us reconsider IL-10 as a beneficial influence on atherosclerosis.
