This scientific thesis delves deeply into critical health issues, specifically diabetes, obesity, and rare familial lipodystrophies. These health concerns hold immense importance due to their substantial medical and financial implications, impacting individuals, healthcare systems, and national economies. The central aim of this research was to harness the capabilities of next-generation sequencing (NGS), such as exome sequencing, to detect genetic mutations within genes already associated with these conditions in diagnostically challenging patients. It is now established that up to 2% of cases of type 2 diabetes can be attributed to pathogenic variants in genes related to Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY). This study sought to enhance the diagnostic process and optimize therapeutic management for these complex conditions while demonstrating the effectiveness of the sequencing approach in comprehensive disease management.In a first case, we showcased the significance of this approach by examining a patient with an atypical syndromic form of diabetes. Through in-depth genetic analysis using NGS, we identified a pathogenic heterozygous variant in the WFS1 gene inherited from the diabetic father. This discovery had a profound impact on the patient's treatment, highlighting the effectiveness of GLP1 analog therapy in optimizing diabetes management. Furthermore, our study investigated the impact of a de novo deletion in 16q24.2, which had the potential to affect the regulation of a neighboring gene, FOXC2, implicated in lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome. This case also raised questions about neurodevelopmental disorders, potentially linked to this deletion and a variant located in USP9X inherited from the patient's mother. These results underscore the critical importance of precise diagnosis in selecting appropriate treatments.In a second article, our research focused on the PDX1 gene, responsible for MODY 4, by analyzing heterozygous carriers of pathogenic variants. Our investigations revealed complete penetrance of diabetes, an increase in body mass index, and an elevated risk of pancreatic insufficiency in these individuals. Once again, the judicious use of GLP1 analogs proved beneficial in optimizing glycemic control.Next, we explored the case of a patient suffering from morbid obesity, presenting with combined pituitary deficiency and composite heterozygosity in POMC. This observation challenged the previous notion that heterozygosity in POMC could cause monogenic obesity. This reconsideration raises crucial questions about the effectiveness of targeted treatment with MC4R agonists in POMC heterozygotes, posing significant financial challenges for its use in this indication.Finally, we studied a large family with a severe metabolic syndrome associated with partial lipodystrophy. Genetic analysis revealed a variant in the ZMPSTE24 gene, previously identified in the same geographic region, raising the question of a founder variant. However, the contribution of this heterozygous variant to partial lipodystrophy remains to be confirmed, necessitating further studies to definitively establish its role.In conclusion, this thesis has highlighted the remarkable efficacy of next-generation sequencing in elucidating complex cases of atypical diabetes and obesity, shedding light on monogenic forms of these conditions. Moreover, this research expanded its investigations to the broader population through comprehensive literature reviews and analysis of various databases, including the Human Gene Mutation Database, RaDIO, and UK Biobank. We hope that these compelling results will encourage wider adoption of genetic sequencing, paving the way for increased customization of treatments based on patients' genotypes in the near future

Inflammatory Myopathies (IM) are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized bychronic and symmetrical muscle weakness associated to increased creatine phosphokinase (CPK)levels, according to entity concerned. Currently, IM are divided into 5 main entities:dematomyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies, inclusion body myositis, polymyositisand overlap myositis. Nowadays, IM diagnosis is based on clinical signs associated to pathologicfeatures on muscle biopsy and presence of auto-antibodies (aAb). Indeed, the discovery of myositisspecific and/or associated auto-antibodies (MSA/MAA) had considerably improve disease diagnosisand prognosis. However, substantial proportion of IM patients do not display any knownMSA/MAA. Furthermore, diagnosis requires muscle biopsy. This biopsy is sometimes guided bymagnetic resonance imaging (MRI), even though correlation between MRI findings and pathologicalfeatures is not established. Lastly, therapeutics used in IM treatment are systemicimmunosuppressive agents, i.e. not specific to IM pathophysiology. Animal models of IM are mainlybased on active immunization against different proteins as myosin, C protein orhistidyl-tRNA synthetase, while spontaneous models are required to identify pathophysiologicalmechanisms that new therapeutics should target.NOD (non obese diabetic) mice are the main model of type 1 diabetes. When invalidatedfor ICOS/ICOSL costimulation pathway, these mice do not develop diabetes but present musculardisorders. In this work, we study Icos-/- and Icosl-/- NOD mice phenotype and characterize theremuscle lesion. Thus, we have established this model as the first paradigm of IM. Pathophysiologicalstudy in these mice demonstrated that disease is CD4+ T cell dependent and associated to IFN-γproduction. Furthermore, we shown a quantitative defect in regulatory T cells. We have alsoidentified 4 candidate autoantigens (aAg) in Icos-/- and Icosl-/- NOD mice. Searching forcorresponding aAb against ortholog proteins in patients with IM, we identified for one of them, alow percentage of seropositive individuals using a new ALBIA (addressable laser beadimmunoassay). It could be identified as a new biomarker. In order to evaluate new therapies, weestablished preliminary data showing that low dose interleukin 2 therapy allow to delay diseaseonset. Lastly, we took advantage of this new model to demonstrate the correlation betweenMRI findings and histological inflammation features, confirming the valuable role of MRI for thediagnosis and monitoring of IM

The contribution of DCs in the initiation and progression of autoimmune diseases is well established. Several studies have reported that phenotypic and functional abnormalities of DCs, in Non Obese Diabetic (NOD), contribute to spontaneous type 1 diabetes (T1D) development. DCs are among the first cells that infiltrate the pancreatic islets, produce excessive amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and contribute to the activation of T effector cells (Teff). This increased ability of DCs to activate Teff is regulated by several intracellular signaling pathways. STAT5 is among the critical transcription factors in the regulation of genes associated with the development, maturation and functions of DCs. The predisposition to T1D in NOD is determined by several regions of susceptibility to diabetes (idd1-20). Interestingly, the Stat5b gene is located in the idd4 susceptibility region in NOD mice suggesting its involvement in the development of diabetes. Recent studies have identified a dysfunction in the Jak-Stat5 signaling pathway in NOD mice, including the presence of a mutation (L327M) at the DNA-binding domain of Stat5b which alters its binding to DNA. Furthermore, previous studies from our laboratory have shown that the GM-CSF- or TSLP-conditioned DCs, which activate the Jak-Stat5 signaling pathway, is a potential pathway for immunotherapy in NOD mice. These data suggest a central role for Stat5b in the regulation of tolerogenic functions of the immune cells. Here, we generated a transgenic NOD mouse model (NOD.CD11cStat5b-CA) that constitutively express the active form of STAT5B from the C57BL/6 mouse specifically in DCs. Our results showed that these transgenic mice are completely protected against autoimmune diabetes. This long-term diabetes protection is associated with the acquisition of tolerogenic functions by Stat5b-CA.DCs, that exhibit a mature tolerogenic phenotype, overexpression of immunoregulatory molecules (PD-L1 and PD-L2) and produce anti-inflammatory cytokines (TGF-β) and a significantly decrease their production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-12p70, TNF-α and IL-23). Moreover, we have highlighted the role of STAT5B in the upregulation of IRF4 and also the involvement of the STAT5B/ EZH2 complex in downregulation of IRF8. This differential regulation of the Irf4 and Irf8 genes expression is accompanied by promoting the development of CD11c+CD11b+ DC subset. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the tolerogenic Stat5b-CA.DCs were able to restore and maintain peripheral immune tolerance to autoantigens, which is associated with their high ability to induce conversion and expansion Tregs and to promote Th2 and Tc2 immune deviation. We also demonstrated that a single intravenous injection of Stat5-CA.DCs (splenic or bone marrow derived dendritic cells) or Tregs from transgenic mice NOD.CD11cStat5b-CA halted ongoing diabetes in recipient NOD mice. Thus, our study provides clear evidence that the correction of the Jak-Stat5b signaling pathway defect in DC of NOD mice induces long-term protection against diabetes suggesting that signaling pathway can be a potential therapeutic target not only in the context of type 1 diabetes but also in other autoimmune diseases.

Immune tolerance is dependent on the immune system discriminating between self and non-self. A break in immune tolerance results in autoimmunity, which can lead to the destruction of healthy organs, glands, joints or the central nervous system. Any disease that results from such an aberrant immune response is termed an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diabetes, which is also referred to as juvenile diabetes and type 1 diabetes, results from an autoimmune attack on the insulin-producing β cells located within the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. Although autoimmune diabetes is treatable through a combination of insulin therapy, diet and exercise, many chronic complications may arise in patients, including, but not limited to, blindness, cardiovascular disease, kidney failure and amputation. Due to the many complications associated with long-term autoimmune diabetes, research continues to better understand all the factors implicated in disease progression in order to develop new therapies that will prevent, reverse and/or cure this disease. A prominent role in the generation and maintenance of immune tolerance has been attributed to the number and function of regulatory cell subsets. One of these regulatory cell populations, namely CD4-CD8- (double negative, DN) T cells, have been studied in both mice and humans for their contribution to peripheral tolerance, disease prevention and their potential for use in cellular therapy. DN T cells are of particular therapeutic interest because they exhibit an antigen-specific immunoregulatory potential in various experimental settings, including the prevention of autoimmune diabetes. Indeed, using a transgenic system, we have shown that autoimmune diabetes-prone mice carry fewer DN T cells and that this phenotype contributes to autoimmune diabetes susceptibility, where a single transfer of DN T cells is sufficient to prevent diabetes progression in otherwise autoimmune diabetes-prone mice. These results suggest that DN T cells may be of therapeutic interest for diabetic patients. However, we must first validate these results using a non-transgenic setting, which is more physiologically relevant to humans. The main objective of this thesis is to determine the immunoregulatory function of the DN T cells as well as the therapeutic potential of these cells in the prevention of autoimmune diabetes in the non-transgenic setting. Here, we show that diabetes-resistant mice present with a higher proportion and cell number of DN T cells than diabetes-susceptible mice in the non-transgenic setting, which associates a deficiency in DN T cell number with disease susceptibility. We determine that DN T cells eliminate activated B cells in vitro via a perforin/granzyme-dependent pathway, where the function of DN T cells is equal between the diabetes-resistant and -susceptible mice, demonstrating that the association to autoimmune diabetes is due to a deficiency in DN T cell number rather than function. Interestingly, we show that non-transgenic DN T cells eliminate B cells loaded with islet antigen, but not B cells loaded with an irrelevant antigen, in vitro. Importantly, we establish that the transfer of activated DN T cells could prevent autoimmune diabetes development in the non-transgenic setting. Interestingly, we reveal that DN T cells migrate to the pancreatic islets and undergo preferential activation and proliferation within the pancreatic lymph nodes. Moreover, the transfer of DN T cells results in a decrease in both germinal center B cells directly within the pancreatic islets as well serum insulin autoantibody levels, which correlates with the aforementioned findings. Altogether, the results presented in this thesis have allowed us to enhance our understanding of the function of DN T cells both in vitro and in vivo as well as demonstrate the therapeutic potential for DN T cells as a novel cellular therapeutic for autoimmune diabetes.
