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…
Caspase-1 involvement in colorectal cancer cell death phenomenons
2014
Colon cancer is a major public health matter because it has reached the second rank of cancer mortality in 2013 in France. Surgery, radiotherapy and standard chemotherapies helped by targeted therapies are not often efficient enough, underlying the need of using new therapies.Against this background, we have studied the possibilities to use new therapies (Liver X Receptor (LXR) ligands) or to improve classical treatment conditions (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPC)) and the implication of caspase-1.We have first demonstrated that the nuclear receptor (LXR) agonists can induce pyroptotic cell death of colon cancer cell lines by inflammasome activation and subsequent caspase-1 …

Oxidative stress is often increased in several diseases such as age-related diseases (cardiovascular diseases, eye diseases (age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts), neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis), chronic inflammatory diseases (chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)) as well as certain rare genetic diseases (Niemann Pick's disease, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD)). Oxidative stress can oxidize various molecules, in particular the cholesterol present in lipid membranes, and lead to the formation of oxidized cholesterol derivatives: oxysterols. Some of them, such as 7-ketocholesterol (7KC), are toxic and may be the cause of a type o…
