Full textIt has been shown for a number of cancers that a cell population characterized by stem cell (SC) properties and therapeutic resistance is likely responsible for relapse several years after treatment. Current therapies kill most of the tumor cells, but fail to eradicate the so-called cancer stem cells (CSC). Therefore a complete cure of the disease will require the eradication of the tumor-sustaining CSC. We propose to study these CSC in the context of breast cancer as the existence of CSC as already been highlighted in this epithelia.CD10 is a membrane enzyme able to cleave several peptide of the microenvironment (such as oxytocin, bombesin, enkephalin.. ) that can also interact with intracellular signalling pathway through its direct interaction with PTEN. Our results, and those of the literature, indicate that CD10 enzyme controls the fate of SC and is deregulated in normal breast and cancerous tissues. We showed that CD10 membrane expression allows the maintenance of immature cells partly through its enzymatic function that inhibits mammary stem cells differentiation. As CD10 has been described in breast cancer initiation, progression and resistance, we then decided to test the role of CD10 in tumor context. Our strategy consists in flow cytometry cell sorting for CD10+/CD10- cells to compare the functional properties of both sub-population. Only CD10+ cells are able to regenerate both CD10+ and CD10- subpopulations, and CD10+ cells exhibit higher expression of immature genes. Interestingly, modulating CD10 using stable expression of CD10 in our models and Sh strategies do not mimick the normal functions of CD10, indicating that CD10 could be more a marker of a certain population with immature properties prone to transformation rather than a driver. To better characterize the role of CD10 in luminal breast transformation, we developed a new human mammary model, initiated from immature cells to obtain transformed luminal epithelial cells and their resistant counterpart. We observed a higher level of CD10 expression during mammary epithelial cell transformation process. We then performed a microarray on CD10+ and CD10- subpopulations. Preliminary analysis seems to confirm that CD10 is a potential marker for a stem cell population prone to transformation rather than a direct driver of the cell transformation

Blood coagulation is an essential immune mechanism for aquatic animals with an open circulatory system such as crustaceans. This research is aimed to comprehend the molecular characteristics of the clottable protein in white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, through molecular cloning of its cDNA and tissues expression, profiles. The expression of CP transcripts under different temperature, salinity and ammonia and post-Vibrio alginolyticusc injection were also investgated. CP cDNA was obtained from the heart of the white shrimp by a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA using oligonucleotide primers based on the CP sequence of tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, and freshwater crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus. The full-length cDNAs of CP consisted of 5495 bp open reading frame encode 1666 amino acids (aa) with predicted include a 14-aa signal peptide, molecular mass of the mature protein was 187.917 kDa with an estimated pI of 5.27. Two putative integrin binding motif (cell adhesion site), RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) and three N-glycosylation site were conserved in CP of white shrimp. Sequence comparison showed that CP deduced aa of L. vannamei had overall similarities of 85% and 37% to that of P. monodon and P. leniusculus respectively. Shrimp CP was found to exist in haemocyte, heart, gill, muscle, hepatopancreans, lymph organ and intestine by RT-PCR and real-time PCR. The clotting time of V. alginolyticus injection shrimps are significant longer than un-injection ones at 12 and 24 hours. At 22 and 34 ℃ water temperature for 2 days, the clotting time is significant longer than 28 ℃ treatment, moreover, after 7 days, it is significant shorter at 22 ℃treatment and significant longer at 34 ℃compared to 28 ℃. The clotting time in salinity 35 and 45 ‰ treatment for 2 and 7 days is significant longer than other treatments. When white shrimps expose to 5 and 10 mg l-1 ammonia-N for 7 days, the clotting time is significant longer than 1 mg l-1 and control groups. In V. alginolyticus challenge tests, shrimp CP expression in haemocyte, hepatopancrans and muscle were no significantly, heart CP was sharply increased post 24 h injection, but gill CP and intestine CP expression were down-regulation post 6 and 3 h, respectively, and return to initial levels at 24 and 24 h, respectively. Shrimp were exposed to 22 oC and 34 oC water for 2 days, hemocyte CP of shrimp at 34 oC was higher than shrimp at 22 oC, but both of them were higher than control shrimp at 28 oC. Heart CP and hepatopancreans CP were significantly raised when shrimp to be placed in 34 oC wate for 2 days, but return to initial levels after 7 days. Gill CP expression was significantly decreased after 2 days exposure to 34 oC water, and significantly increased after 7 days. The increment of CP expression was detected in muscle and intestine of shrimp at 34 oC for 2 days, but the graduals decrease of CP expression was detected in muscle of shrimp at 34 oC for 7 days. In salinity trials, heamocyte CP expression was lower than others treatments at 45 ‰ for 2 day, but return to initial levels post 7 days exposure to 45 ‰. Heart CP was down-regulation at 5 ‰ salt water for 2 days, but return to initial levels after 7 days. Shrimp at 15 ‰ salt water for 2 day, its gill CP expression was significantly increased, and a recovery was detected at 7 days. The expression of hepatopancreans CP was increase significantly at 35 and 45‰ for 7 days, and no significant different expression of CP was measured in muscle and intestine. Heamocyte CP expression was significantly increased after exposure to 1, 5 and 10 mg l-1 ammonia-N for 7 days, but no significantly different was found in the tissues of heart, gill and intestine. Up-regulation of CP was detected in shrimp at 1, 5 and 10 mg l-1 ammonia-N for 2 days when compared with control group. Muscle CP of shrimp at 10 mg l-1 ammonia-N for 2 days was increased significantly, and similar up-regulation was also to be found in muscle CP of shrimp at 5 and 10 mg l-1 ammonia-N for 7 days.

Abstract Shrimp disease caused serious economic losses in world shrimp culture industry. These may be relevant in the control of infectious disease in imtensive farming of economically important shrimp. However, it is important to understand the immune mechanism of shrimp for prevent disease. In this project, white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei was selected as a model species. The study is to focus on the cell adhesion protein, peroxinectin, which regulates and amplifies the immune response of shrimp. The paper is to deals with the purification of peroxinectin and analysis of its immune function, cloning of peroxinectin cDNA and its expression sites, expression of peroxinection under different molt stages, foreign intruders and under different environmental stressors including water temperature, salinity, ammonia-N and nitrite-N. Peroxinectin-like is a glycoprotein with molecular mass of 83 kDa. The cell adhesive protein was a multifunctional protein with several biological activities including cell adhesion, opsonin, peroxidase and encapsulation. Peroxinectin-like lost its activity under pH 4-2 and heated in 80 oC for 10 min. The cell adhesive activity was calcium-dependent, and it activity increased by sodium alginate and β-1, 3-glucan. The cell adhesive activity of peroxinectin was not associated with proPO system. The full-length cDNA of peroxinectin was 2,415 bp. The open reading frame encodes 805 amino acids, which contained a 20 amino acid signal peptide. The predicted molecular mass of mature protein was 89.1 kDa with a pI of 7.5. Sequence comparison showed that peroxinection deduced amino acid of L. vannamei had an overall similarity of 92 % and 60 % to that of P. monodon and P. leniusculus, respectively. The 432 bp fragment (partial cDNA) and 1016 bp fragment (genomic DNA) were obtained using specific primers PE2F and PE2R. There were three introns in the 1016 bp (genomic DNA) fragment. RT-PCR and in situ hybridisation indicated that peroxinectin mRNA synthesized in granular cell and semi-granular cell. The sequence of peroxinectin contained a peroxidase domain (~500 amion acid) and amino acids residues necessary for catalytic activity of peroxidase were conserved in white shrimp peroxinectin. Two putative integrin binding motifs, RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) and KGD (Lys-Gly-Asp) were observed in white shrimp peroxinectin The assay of cell adhesive activity indicated that integrin-binding site was KGD motif, but not RGD motif. Peroxinectin transcript up-regulated significantly after 6 h post Vibrio alginolyticus-injection. The cell adhesive activity and peroxinectin transcript increased significantly for the shrimp exposed to 5 and 10 mg l-1 ammonia-N and nitrite-N. The cell adhesive activity and peroxinectin transcript were decreased significantly for the shrimp under high temperature (34oC) and low salinity (10 ‰). There was no significant difference in peroxinectin transcript under different molt stages, fed with/without 1 g kg-1 sodium alginate, and injected with saline solution, carbon, zymosan and dead V. alginolyticus.

LGBP cDNA was cloned from the haemocytes and hepatopancreas of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using degenerate primers. Analysis of nucleotide sequence revealed that the cDNA clone has an open reading frame of 1101 bp encoding a protein of 367 amino acids including a 17 amino acid signal peptide. The calculated molecular mass of the mature proteins is 39.92 kDa with an estimated pI of 4.37. Two putative integrin binding motifs (cell adhesion site), RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) and a potential recognition motif for β-(1 → 3) linkage of polysaccharides were observed in the LGBP. Sequence comparison showed that LGBP deduced amino acid of L. vannamei has an overall similarity of 95%, 92% and 61% to that of blue shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris LGBP, tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon BGBP and crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus LGBP, respectively. They are with conserved features including a potential polysaccharide-binding motif, a glucanase motif, and N-glycosylation sites. To evaluate exogenous and endogenous factors that affect the expressions of LGBP genes, quantitative real-time PCR was conducted. The results were as follows: During different molting stages, LGBP transcripts in haemocytes at D2/3 stage were significantly higher than that at C stage, while the LGBP transcripts expression in hepatopancreas at the C stage is the highest. LGBP transcripts in haemocytes were up-regulated significantly after 3 and 6 h post Vibrio alginolyticus-injections, but the LGBP transcripts in hepatopancreas showed no significant differences. After feeding the diet containing 1 g kg-1 sodium alginate for a week, the expressions of LGBP transcripts in hepatopancreas were significantly lower than that of control groups, while the LGBP transcripts expressions in haemocytes showed no significant differences. The LGBP transcripts expressions in haemocytes at 18 and 34 groups were significantly higher than 26 ℃group after 48h thermal treatment, while the LGBP transcripts profiles in hepatopancreas at 18 and 26 ℃groups were significantly higher than 34 ℃ group after 168 h thermal treatment. The LGBP transcripts expressions in hepatopancreas in salinity 25 ‰ were significantly higher than that in 30 ‰, while LGBP transcripts in haemocytes showed no significant differences. The LGBP transcripts expressions in hepatopancreas were increased significantly while shrimps immersed in 10 mg/l ammonia-N after 48 h, but the LGBP transcripts expression in haemocytes showed no significant differences. The LGBP transcripts in haemocytes were increased significantly while shrimps immersed in 10 mg /l nitrite-N after 48 h, and 5 and 10 mg/l nitrite-N after 168 h, while the LGBP transcripts expressions in hepatopancreas treated in 5 mg/l nitrite-N after 48 h were increased significantly.
