Caractérisation des figures myéliniques associées à l'accumulation de lipides polaires induites par différents oxystérols cytotoxiques identifiés dan…

Atherosclerosis is a complex and chronic arterial process which is characterized by a remodeling of the vascular wall, associated with inflammatory reactions, proliferation and cell death process, and with accumulation of oxidized lipids among which oxysterols (cholesterol oxidation products) which might play key roles in the initiation and development of atheromatous lesions. Our work performed on U937 and THP1 promonocytic cells, rat aorta embryonic A7R5 cells, and breast carcinoma MCF7 cells (caspase-3 deficient). Different oxysterols, present in large quantity in atheromatous lesions, were used: 7-cétocholestérol (7KC), 7Β-hydroxycholestérol, 25-hydroxycholestérol, cholestérol-5Α, 6Α-ep…
Obésité et grossesse : étude de l'influence d'un marqueur de l'obésité sur les mécanismes cellulaires et tissulaires de l'accouchement dans un modèle…

Maternal obesity is associated with a wide spectrum of delivery disorders, such as delayed or post-term delivery, that might be explained partly by the increase in plasma leptin levels in obese women, as leptin inhibits in vitro myometrial contractility. Delivery involves uterine apoptosis and remodelling of the extracellular matrix, via the activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). This study was aimed to assess the role of leptin on human myometrium, by studying the interaction of leptin with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced apoptosis and degradation of myometrial collagen.Myometrial biopsies were obtained from women undergoing caesarean delivery before labour onset. The effects of l…
Mécanismes de résistance à l'apoptose induite par TRAIL dans les cellules cancéreuses : restauration de la sensibiltié à TRAIL par la chimiothérapie …
2010
The TNF-family member TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand) is a cytokine involved in immune anti-tumour surveillance. TRAIL is one of the most promising agents currently under investigation, as it exhibits efficient anti-cancer cytotoxicity with limited side effects on healthy cells. The problem in current cancer therapy is that some cancer cells are already resistant, or can become resistant to TRAIL-induced cell death. The aim of my thesis was to study the mechanisms of resistance to TRAIL, and to find a way to bypass it. First, we were interested in the TRAIL-R4 antagonistic receptor, which is known to bind TRAIL without inducing a death signal. We have demonstrated for the firs…
Novel ruthenium methylcyclopentadienyl complex bearing a bipyridine perfluorinated ligand shows strong activity towards colorectal cancer cells
2017
Three new compounds have been synthesized and completely characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The new bipyridine-perfluorinated ligand L1 and the new organometallic complex [Ru(η 5 -MeCp)(PPh 3 ) 2 Cl] (Ru1) crystalize in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P1¯. Analysis of the phenotypic effects induced by both organometallic complexes Ru1 and [Ru(η 5 -MeCp)(PPh 3 )(L1)][CF 3 SO 3 ] (Ru2), on human colorectal cancer cells (SW480 and RKO) survival, showed that Ru2 has a potent anti-proliferative activity, 4–6 times higher than cisplatin, and induce apoptosis in these cells. Data obtained in a noncancerous cell line derived from normal colon epithelial cells (NCM46…
Effet anti-tumoral de l'acide docosahexaénoïque : implication des microARNs et du TNFalpha
2015
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral properties. The anti-tumor effect of DHA in colorectal cancer might be attributed to direct anti-proliferative action on cancer cells and to its ability to reduce inflammatory status involved in tumor growth. Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNFa) is an inflammatory cytokine with paradoxical effect in cancer biology. According to the cellular context, TNFa activates RIP1 kinase dependent signaling pathway leading to proliferation or cell death. Our aim was to evaluate the role of TNFa in anti-proliferative effect of DHA in colon cancer cells and to precise the molecular mechanisms regulat…
L'hyperthermie provoque l'agrégation de FLIP et restaure l'apoptose induite par TRAIL
2014
The TNF-family member TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand) is a cytokine involved in the immune anti-tumour surveillance. TRAIL is a promising agent currently under investigation for its anti-cancer properties with limited side effects on healthy cells. However, the use of TRAIL in oncology has been limited due to its lack of efficiency, mainly associated with cell resistance to apoptosis. The aim of this project was to study the interest of hyperthermia (or heat shock - HS) as an adjuvant for TRAIL therapy and the mechanisms involved in this sensitization.We have first evaluated the significance of this combination in a large variety of cancer cell lines known to be sensitive or r…
