Functional exploration of the stress response in microorganisms of technological interest : dynamics of membrane response after an ethanol shock in S…
2015
The study of membrane response induced by ethanol stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae aims to understand mechanisms involved in the survival of eukaryotic cells submitted to high ethanol concentrations. The cell membrane by its position between the intra- and extracellular environment is the first target of ethanolic perturbations. Experiments performed in this study aimed to characterize the maintain of the functional integrity of the membrane in relation to the sterol composition in the yeast S. cerevisiae submitted to different types of ethanolic disturbances: increasing concentrations of ethanol in the growth medium; ethanolic shocks of increasing magnitude; shock 20% ethanol for 15 minu…
Osmotic stress affects the stability of freeze-dried Lactobacillus buchneri R1102 as a result of intracellular betaine accumulation and membrane char…

Aims To help cells to better resist the stressful conditions associated with the freeze-drying process during starter production, we investigated the effect of various osmotic conditions on growth, survival and acidification activity of Lactobacillus buchneri R1102, after freeze-drying and during storage for 3 months at 25°C. Methods and Results High survival rates during freeze-drying, but not during storage, were obtained when 0·1 mol l−1 KCl was added at the beginning of fermentation, without any change in membrane properties and betaine accumulation. This condition made it possible to maintain a high acidification rate throughout the process. In contrast, the addition of 0·6 mol l−1 KCl…
The Crosstalk of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC), Oxidative Stress, and Inflammation in Protective and Adaptive Responses
2020
International audience; The potential use of stem cell-based therapies for the repair and regeneration of various tissues and organs is a major goal in repair medicine. Stem cells are classified by their potential to differentiate into functional cells. Compared with other sources, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have the advantage of being abundant and easy to obtain. ADSCs are considered to be tools for replacing, repairing, and regenerating dead or damaged cells. The capacity of ADSCs to maintain their properties depends on the balance of complex signals in their microenvironment. Their properties and the associated outcomes are in part regulated by reactive oxygen species, which medi…
Cardiotoxicity of cancer therapy
2011
Despite the development of new anti-cancer drugs such as anti-tyrosine kinases or anti-angiogenic therapy, cancer mortality remains high. These new molecules associated with advances in cancer surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have succeeded in improving life expectancy in these patients. It has also allowed a long-term evaluation of the cardiovascular impact of these therapies. Many chemotherapy drugs, such as anthracyclines, lead to impaired cardiac function. The pathophysiological mechanisms of this cardiac dysfunction are complex, intricate and remain partially unknown. To reduce this cardiotoxicity, different pathways concerning administration modalities, drug presentation and the…

Background: The measurement of carbon isotopic discrimination in grape sugars at harvest (δ13 C) is an integrated assessment of water status during ripening. It is an efficient alternative to assess variability in the field and discriminate between management zones in precision viticulture, but further work is needed to completely understand the signal.; Results: This work, spanning over 3 years, performed in a hillslope toposequence in Burgundy, delineates the relationships between main soil properties (gravel amount, slope, texture) and the grapevine water status assessed by δ13 C. The highest δ13 C, indicating most severe water deficit, was recorded in gravelly soils on steep slopes. The…

Understanding of pea capacity to recover in terms of growth and nitrogen acquisition after water stress : molecular and ecophysiologic studies
2020
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) has the unique ability to fix atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) via a symbiosis with soil bacteria in root nodules. Although this specificity makes this crop particularly interesting in the context of agroecological transition, symbiotic nitrogen fixation is particularly sensitive to abiotic stresses such as water deficit, which contributes to the yield instability of this protein crop and reduces its interest for farmers. Yield stability depends both on plant's ability to tolerate stress and on its ability to recover after stress. However, the mechanisms involved during the recovery period have been for now poorly explored. It is, therefore, essential to identify traits of…
Effets du resvératrol et de formulations de micro-nutriments alimentaires sur les fonctions du muscle squelittique chez la souris et sur les cellules…

A concept that has emerged in recent years is the use of micronutrients as therapeutic agents known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardio-protective or anticarcinogenic proprieties. In this work, we studied the in vivo and in vitro mechanism of action of resveratrol and two natural formulations, one involved in the antioxidant effects (product "X") and the other (product "Y") involved in the correction of lipid disorders in people affected by metabolic syndrome. We characterized the pro-differentiating effect of a natural polyphenol, resveratrol, on C2C12 skeletal muscle cell line. This study showed that this polyphenol can induce the expression of muscle differentiation factors …
