Abstract: This study was conducted in order to study Sostdc1 expression in rat and human developing and adult eyes.Using the yeast signal sequence trap screening method, we identified the Sostdc1 cDNA encoding a protein secreted by the adult rat retinal pigment epithelium. We determined by in situ hybridization, RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and western blot analysis Sostdc1 gene and protein expression in developing and postnatal rat ocular tissue sections. We also investigated Sostdc1 immunohistolocalization in developing and adult human ocular tissues.We demonstrated a prominent Sostdc1 gene expression in the developing rat central nervous system (CNS) and eyes at early developmental stages from E10.5 days postconception (dpc) to E13 dpc. Specific Sostdc1 immunostaining was also detected in most adult cells of rat ocular tissue sections. We also identified the rat ocular embryonic compartments characterized by a specific Sostdc1 immunohistostaining and specific Pax6, Sox2, Otx2, and Vsx2 immunohistostaining from embryonic stages E10.5 to E13 dpc. Furthermore, we determined the localization of SOSTDC1 immunoreactivity in ocular tissue sections of developing and adult human eyes. Indeed, we detected SOSTDC1 immunostaining in developing and adult human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and neural retina (NR) as well as in several developing and adult human ocular compartments, including the walls of choroidal and scleral vessels. Of utmost importance, we observed a strong SOSTDC1 expression in a pathological ocular specimen of type 2 Peters' anomaly complicated by retinal neovascularization as well in the walls ofother pathological extra-ocular vessels. CONCLUSION: As rat Sostdc1 and human SOSTDC1 are dual antagonists of the Wnt/β-catenin and BMP signaling pathways, these results underscore the potential crucial roles of these pathways and their antagonists, such as Sostdc1 and SOSTDC1, in developing and adult mammalian normal eyes as well as in syndromic and nonsyndromic congenital eye diseases.

Abstract: Delta-like 4 (DLL4) is a pivotal endothelium specific Notch ligand that has been shown to function as a regulating factor during physiological and pathological angiogenesis. DLL4 functions as a negative regulator of angiogenic branching and sprouting. Interestingly, Dll4 is with Vegf-a one of the few examples of haplo-insufficiency, resulting in obvious vascular abnormalities and in embryonic lethality. These striking phenotypes are a proof of concept of the crucial role played by the bioavailability of VEGF and DLL4 during vessel patterning and that there must be a very fine-tuning of DLL4 expression level. However, to date the expression regulation of this factor was poorly studied. In this study, we showed that the DLL4 5&prime, UTR harbors an Internal Ribosomal Entry Site (IRES) that, in contrast to cap-dependent translation, was efficiently utilized in cells subjected to several stresses including hypoxia and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress). We identified PERK, a kinase activated by ER stress, as the driver of DLL4 IRES-mediated translation, and hnRNP-A1 as an IRES-Trans-Acting Factor (ITAF) participating in the IRES-dependent translation of DLL4 during endoplasmic reticulum stress. The presence of a stress responsive internal ribosome entry site in the DLL4 msRNA suggests that the process of alternative translation initiation, by controlling the expression of this factor, could have a crucial role in the control of endothelial tip cell function.

Abstract: Summary: Ectopic lipid deposition (ELD) is defined by excess fat storage in locations not classically associated with adipose tissue (AT) storage. ELD is positively correlated with insulin resistance and increased risk of metabolic disorders. ELD appears as lipid droplets or adipocytes, whose cell origin is unknown. We previously showed that subcutaneous AT (ScAT) releases adipocyte progenitors into the circulation. Here, we demonstrate that triggering or preventing the release of adipocyte precursors from ScAT directly promoted or limited ectopic adipocyte formation in skeletal muscle in mice. Importantly, obesity-associated metabolic disorders could be mimicked by causing adipocyte precursor release without a high-fat diet. Finally, during nutrient overload, adipocyte progenitors exited ScAT, where their retention signals (CXCR4/CXCL12 axis) were greatly decreased, and further infiltrated skeletal muscles. These data provide insights into the formation of ELD associated with calorie overload and highlight adipocyte progenitor trafficking as a potential target in the treatment of metabolic diseases. : Girousse et al. show that, in mice fed a high-fat diet, adipose stromal cells (ASCs) can egress subcutaneous adipose tissue and infiltrate skeletal muscle to form ectopic adipocytes, causing metabolic disturbance. ASC trafficking is regulated by the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis, and pioglitazone intermittent treatment can prevent muscle ectopic lipid deposition.

Abstract: International audience; Background: Various alterations in lipid metabolism have been observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Objectives: To determine the levels of lipid species in plasma from CKD and hemodialysis (HD) patients and test their association with CKD severity and patient outcome.Methods: Seventy-seven patients with CKD stage 2 to HD were grouped into classes of CKD severity at baseline and followed-up for 3.5 years for the occurrence of transition to HD or death (combined outcome). Plasma levels of phosphatidylcholines (PCs), lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs), sphingomyelins (SMs), and fatty acids were analyzed by flow-injection analysis coupled to tandem mass spectrometry or gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Kruskal Wallis rank tests and Cox regressions were used to analyze the association of lipids with CKD severity and the risk of combined outcome, respectively.Results: The plasma level of PCs, LPCs, and SMs was decreased in HD patients compared with nondialyzed CKD patients (all P < .05), whereas esterified and/or nonesterified fatty acids level did not change. Thirty-four lipids displayed significantly lower abundance in plasma of HD patients, whereas elaidic acid (C18:1ω9t) level was increased (P < .001). The total amount of LPCs and individual LPCs were associated with better outcome (P < .05). In particular, LPC 18:2 and LPC 20:3 were statistically associated with outcome in adjusted models (P < .05).Discussion: In HD patients, a reduction in plasma lipids is observed. Some of the alterations, namely reduced LPCs, were associated with the risk of adverse outcome. These changes could be related to metabolic dysfunctions.

Abstract: International audience; AimsDefects in efficient endothelial healing have been associated with complication of atherosclerosis such as post-angioplasty neoatherosclerosis and plaque erosion leading to thrombus formation. However, current preventive strategies do not consider re-endothelialization in their design. Here, we investigate mechanisms linking immune processes and defect in re-endothelialization. We especially evaluate if targeting phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ immune processes could restore endothelial healing and identify immune mediators responsible for these defects.Methods and resultsUsing in vivo model of endovascular injury, we showed that both ubiquitous genetic inactivation of PI3Kγ and hematopoietic cell-specific PI3Kγ deletion improved re-endothelialization and that CD4+ T-cell population drives this effect. Accordingly, absence of PI3Kγ activity correlates with a decrease in local IFNγ secretion and its downstream interferon-inducible chemokine CXCL10. CXCL10 neutralization promoted re-endothelialization in vivo as the same level than those observed in absence of PI3Kγ suggesting a role of CXCL10 in re-endothelialization defect. Using a new established ex vivo model of carotid re-endothelialization, we showed that blocking CXCL10 restore the IFNγ-induced inhibition of endothelial healing and identify smooth muscle cells as the source of CXCL10 secretion in response to Th1 cytokine.ConclusionAltogether, these findings expose an unforeseen cellular cross-talk within the arterial wall whereby a PI3Kγ-dependent T-cell response leads to CXCL10 production by smooth muscle cells which in turn inhibits endothelial healing. Therefore, both PI3Kγ and the IFNγ/CXCL10 axis provide novel strategies to promote endothelial healing.

Abstract: ObjectiveThe gut–brain axis is considered as a major regulatory checkpoint in the control of glucose homeostasis. The detection of nutrients and/or hormones in the duodenum informs the hypothalamus of the host's nutritional state. This process may occur via hypothalamic neurons modulating central release of nitric oxide (NO), which in turn controls glucose entry into tissues. The enteric nervous system (ENS) modulates intestinal contractions in response to various stimuli, but the importance of this interaction in the control of glucose homeostasis via the brain is unknown. We studied whether apelin, a bioactive peptide present in the gut, regulates ENS-evoked contractions, thereby identifying a new physiological partner in the control of glucose utilisation via the hypothalamus.DesignWe measured the effect of apelin on electrical and mechanical duodenal responses via telemetry probes and isotonic sensors in normal and obese/diabetic mice. Changes in hypothalamic NO release, in response to duodenal contraction modulated by apelin, were evaluated in real time with specific amperometric probes. Glucose utilisation in tissues was measured with orally administrated radiolabeled glucose.ResultsIn normal and obese/diabetic mice, glucose utilisation is improved by the decrease of ENS/contraction activities in response to apelin, which generates an increase in hypothalamic NO release. As a consequence, glucose entry is significantly increased in the muscle.ConclusionsHere, we identify a novel mode of communication between the intestine and the hypothalamus that controls glucose utilisation. Moreover, our data identified oral apelin administration as a novel potential target to treat metabolic disorders.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND & AIMS: Glucose is absorbed into intestine cells via the sodium glucose transporter 1 (SGLT-1) and glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2); various peptides and hormones control this process. Apelin is a peptide that regulates glucose homeostasis and is produced by proximal digestive cells; we studied whether glucose modulates apelin secretion by enterocytes and the effects of apelin on intestinal glucose absorption. METHODS: We characterized glucose-related luminal apelin secretion in vivo and ex vivo by mass spectroscopy and immunologic techniques. The effects of apelin on (14)C-labeled glucose transport were determined in jejunal loops and in mice following apelin gavage. We determined levels of GLUT2 and SGLT-1 proteins and phosphorylation of AMPKα2 by immunoblotting. The net effect of apelin on intestinal glucose transepithelial transport was determined in mice. RESULTS: Glucose stimulated luminal secretion of the pyroglutaminated apelin-13 isoform ([Pyr-1]-apelin-13) in the small intestine of mice. Apelin increased specific glucose flux through the gastric epithelial barrier in jejunal loops and in vivo following oral glucose administration. Conversely, pharmacologic apelin blockade in the intestine reduced the increased glycemia that occurs following oral glucose administration. Apelin activity was associated with phosphorylation of AMPKα2 and a rapid increase of the GLUT2/SGLT-1 protein ratio in the brush border membrane. CONCLUSIONS: Glucose amplifies its own transport from the intestinal lumen to the bloodstream by increasing luminal apelin secretion. In the lumen, active apelin regulates carbohydrate flux through enterocytes by promoting AMPKα2 phosphorylation and modifying the ratio of SGLT-1:GLUT2. The glucose-apelin cycle might be pharmacologically handled to regulate glucose absorption and assess better control of glucose homeostasis.

Abstract: International audience; OBJECTIVES:Chronic increases in blood flow in resistance arteries induce outward remodeling associated with increased wall thickness and endothelium-mediated dilatation. This remodeling is essential for collateral arteries growth following occlusion of a large artery. As estrogens have a major role in this remodeling, we hypothesized that resveratrol, described as possessing phytoestrogen properties, could improve remodeling in ovariectomized rats.METHODS:Blood flow was increased in vivo in mesenteric arteries after ligation of adjacent arteries in 3-month old ovariectomized rats treated with resveratrol (5 or 37.5 mg/kg per day: RESV5 or RESV37.5) or vehicle. After 2 weeks arterial structure and function were measured in vitro in high flow (HF) and normal flow (NF) arteries isolated from each rat.RESULTS:Arterial diameter was greater in HF than in NF arteries in ovariectomized rats treated with RESV5 or RESV37.5, not in vehicle-treated rats. In mice lacking estrogen receptor alpha diameter was equivalent in HF and NF arteries whereas in mice treated with RESV5 diameter was greater in HF than in NF vessels. A compensatory increase in wall thickness and a greater phenylephrine-mediated contraction were observed in HF arteries. This was more pronounced in HF arteries from RESV37.5-treated rats. ERK1/2 phosphorylation, involved in hypertrophy and contraction, were higher in RESV37.5-treated rats than in RESV5- and vehicle-treated rats. Endothelium-dependent relaxation was greater in HF than in NF arteries in RESV5-treated rats only. In HF arteries from RESV37.5-treated rats relaxation was increased by superoxide reduction and markers of oxidative stress (p67phox, GP91phox) were higher than in the 2 other groups.CONCLUSION:Resveratrol improved flow-mediated outward remodeling in ovariectomized rats thus providing a potential therapeutic tool in menopause-associated ischemic disorders. This effect seems independent of the estrogen receptor alpha. Nevertheless, caution should be taken with high doses inducing excessive contractility and hypertrophy in association with oxidative stress in HF arteries.

Abstract: International audience; The apelin receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor activated by several apelin fragments. Its tissue distribution suggests that apelin signalling is involved in a broad range of physiological functions. Endothelial cells, which express high levels of apelin receptors, respond to apelin through the phosphorylation of key intracellular effectors associated with cell proliferation and migration. In addition, apelin is a mitogen for endothelial cells and exhibits angiogenic properties in matrigel experiments. This review focuses on the therapeutic potential of apelin signalling, which is associated with pathologies that result from decreased vascularisation (ischemias) or neovascularisation (retinopathies and solid tumors).

Abstract: Activation of dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) modulates G protein/cAMP-dependent signaling and also engages Akt-GSK-3 signaling through D2R/β-arrestin 2 scaffolding of Akt and PP2A. This G protein-independent pathway may be important in mediating the antimanic effects of mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. The mood stabilizer lithium influences behavior and Akt/GSK-3 signaling in mice and many antipsychotics have been shown to more potently antagonize the activity of the β-arrestin-2 pathway relative to the G protein-dependent pathway. Cariprazine, an antipsychotic with potent D3R/D2R partial agonist activity and preferential binding to D3R, was investigated for its effects on the mediators of D2R pathways in vitro and its efficacy in animal models of mania. Effects on G protein-dependent activity were measured via inhibition of isoproterenol-induced cAMP production; effects on D2R/β-arrestin 2 signaling were determined using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET). Cariprazine was tested in vivo for antimanic-like activity, using the ouabain-induced hyperactivity model in rats. Cariprazine was more potent than aripiprazole in inhibiting isoproterenol-induced cAMP although both compounds showed similar maximum efficacy. In assays of D2R/β-arrestin 2-dependent interactions, cariprazine showed very weak partial agonist activity, unless the levels of receptor kinase were increased; as an antagonist it showed similar potency to haloperidol and ∼fivefold greater potency than aripiprazole. In an animal model of mania, cariprazine showed similar efficacy as lithium in attenuating the effects of ouabain-induced hyperactivity. In summary, the differential effects of cariprazine on D2R G protein and β-arrestin 2 mediators of signal transduction pathways could contribute to its potent antimanic-like activity.

Abstract: International audience; AIM OF THE STUDY: Smooth muscle cells build up the normal media and stabilize atherosclerotic lesions whereas an inflammatory component is determinant for unstable angina. Smooth muscle cells, currently identified by alpha-actin, present a phenotypic heterogeneity and alpha-actin can be reduced in pathology. We tried to characterize vascular cell types, particularly smooth muscle cells, and coronary atherosclerotic tissues, by random genes expression fingerprints. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Expression fingerprints (cDNA electrophoresis) were performed by differential display reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Variability of fingerprints was studied for a panel of arterial muscle cell phenotypes and comparisons were made with fingerprints from other cell types (endothelial cells and macrophages). The technique was then applied to human coronary atherectomy samples compared to control human arterial (mammary) smooth muscle. RESULTS: Arterial smooth muscle cells fingerprints were overall similar whatever the cell phenotype (native contractile, dedifferentiated in culture or epithelioid). Moreover, with two primer pairs, the muscular fingerprints markedly differed from the endothelial and the monocytic fingerprints. Application of differential display to coronary atherectomy samples was feasible. Interestingly, the pathological tissues exhibited either smooth muscle-like or smooth muscle-divergent fingerprints. CONCLUSIONS: Smooth muscle cells and inflammatory cells exhibited distinct differential display fingerprint patterns. Thus, a simple expression profile of arbitrary genes provides a molecular bar code tool (pattern signature) useful to characterize vascular cell cultures or tissues. The present work proposes a method to analyze coronary atherectomy samples which estimates their whole quality, muscular versus non muscular (inflammatory), this is of interest for clinical research.

Abstract: IL-12 is essential for invariant NKT (iNKT) cells because it can maintain a functionally active population and promote a cytokine profile that is assumed to be mainly of the pro-Th1 type. We used the murine concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatitis model, in which iNKT cells, IL-12, IL-4, and IFN-γ are equally requisite, to reevaluate this issue. We demonstrate that IL-12 interacts directly with iNKT cells, contributes to their recruitment to the liver, and enhances their IL-4 production, which is essential for disease onset. IL-12-deficient mice were less susceptible to experimental hepatitis and their iNKT cells produced less IL-4 than their wild-type counterpart. A normal response could be restored by IL-12 injection, revealing its importance as endogenous mediator. In accordance with this observation, we found that iNKT cells expressed the IL-12R constitutively, in contrast to conventional T cells. Furthermore, the physiological relevance of our data is supported by the lower susceptibility to disease induction of NOD mice, known for their inherent functional and numerical abnormalities of iNKT cells associated with decreased iNKT cell-derived IL-4 production and low IL-12 secretion. Taken together, our findings provide the first evidence that IL-12 can enhance the immune response through increased IL-4 production by iNKT cells, underscoring once more the functional plasticity of this subset.

Abstract: International audience; Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) mediates essential functions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), including the stimulation of endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Nevertheless, the mechanisms coupling the receptor VEGFR-2 to PI3K remain obscure. We observed that the Grb2-bound adapter Gab1 is tyrosine-phosphorylated and relocated to membrane fractions upon VEGF stimulation of endothelial cells. We could detect the PI3K regulatory subunit p85 in immunoprecipitates of endogenous Gab1, and vice versa, and measure a Gab1-associated lipid kinase activity upon VEGF stimulation. Furthermore, transfection of the Gab1-YF3 mutant lacking all p85-binding sites strongly repressed PI3K activation measured in vitro. Moreover, Gab1-YF3 severely decreased the cellular amount of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) generated in response to VEGF. Furthermore, adenoviral expression of Gab1-YF3 suppressed both Akt phosphorylation and recovery of wounded human umbilical vein endothelial cell monolayers, a VEGF-dependent process involving cell migration and proliferation under PI3K control. Transfection of other Gab1 mutants, lacking Grb2-binding sites or the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, also prevented Akt activation, further demonstrating Gab1 involvement in PI3K activation. These mutants were also used to show that interactions with both Grb2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 mediate Gab1 recruitment by VEGFR-2. Importantly, Gab1 mobilization was impaired by (i) PI3K inhibitors, (ii) deletion of Gab1 PH domain, (iii) PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) overexpression to repress PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 production, and (iv) overexpression of a competitor PH domain for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 binding, which altogether demonstrated that PI3K is also an upstream regulator of Gab1. Gab1 thus appears as a primary actor in coupling VEGFR-2 to PI3K/Akt, recruited through an amplification loop involving PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and its PH domain.

Abstract: Objectives: To study if genes with common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with obesity-related phenotypes influence weight loss (WL) in obese individuals treated by a hypo-energetic low-fat or high-fat diet. Design: Randomised, parallel, two-arm, open-label multi-centre trial. Setting: Eight clinical centres in seven European countries. Participants: 771 obese adult individuals. Interventions: 10-wk dietary intervention to hypo-energetic (−600 kcal/d) diets with a targeted fat energy of 20%–25% or 40%–45%, completed in 648 participants. Outcome Measures: WL during the 10 wk in relation to genotypes of 42 SNPs in 26 candidate genes, probably associated with hypothalamic regulation of appetite, efficiency of energy expenditure, regulation of adipocyte differentiation and function, lipid and glucose metabolism, or production of adipocytokines, determined in 642 participants. Results: Compared with the noncarriers of each of the SNPs, and after adjusting for gender, age, baseline weight and centre, heterozygotes showed WL differences that ranged from −0.6 to 0.8 kg, and homozygotes, from −0.7 to 3.1 kg. Genotype-dependent additional WL on low-fat diet ranged from 1.9 to −1.6 kg in heterozygotes, and from 3.8 kg to −2.1 kg in homozygotes relative to the noncarriers. Considering the multiple testing conducted, none of the associations was statistically significant. Conclusions: Polymorphisms in a panel of obesity-related candidate genes play a minor role, if any, in modulating weight changes induced by a moderate hypo-energetic low-fat or high-fat diet., Editorial Commentary Background: Obesity is an important cause of death and disease, particularly in the developed world. It is understood that both environmental and genetic factors contribute towards obesity. Numerous studies have associated particular gene variants with a tendency towards obesity, but it is not known whether such gene variants affect the degree to which obese individuals will lose weight when dieting. What this trial shows: As part of a randomised trial, 771 participants were assigned to one of two different low-energy diets for 10 weeks: one low in fat or one high in fat. The researchers then did a genetic analysis of 642 participants completing the intervention, to find out whether any of 42 distinct genetic variations in 26 genes were associated with weight loss in the trial. The genetic variants were chosen for study as they were known or already thought to be associated with appetite regulation or various aspects of metabolism and fat tissue development and function. The investigators found that none of the genetic variants studied had a significant association with weight loss in the trial. It was also seen that the majority of genetic variants were not associated with efficacy of one dietary intervention over another. Strengths and limitations: Although a large number of participants was recruited into the trial, the genetic analysis involved multiple comparisons—168 tests of 42 genetic variants. This increases the likelihood that any significant associations found could have resulted from chance alone. Significant associations from this study will require additional confirmation in larger studies. Contribution to the evidence: This study adds data indicating that variation in the genes studied did not have an important influence on weight loss.

Abstract: International audience; The discovery of new signalling pathways is always followed by the development of pharmacological agents as drugs that can be used in the treatment of diseases resulting from a dysfunction of the signalling pathway in question. Apelin signalling plays a role in the central and peripheral regulation of the cardiovascular system, in water and food intake, and possibly in immune function. Up-regulation of ligand and receptor is also associated with pathophysiological states such as cardiac dysfunction and neovascularisation. Finally, the apelin receptor is a coreceptor for the entry of several HIV-1 and SIV strains. In view of these features, the apelin receptor constitutes a very interesting target for the design of new drugs for treating the prime causes of human mortality.
