Zmarlak, Natalia Marta. "Regulation of immune signalling in the malaria mosquito vector, Anopheles : the secreted mosquito leucine-rich repeat protein APL1C is a pathogen binding factor essential for immunity to Plasmodium ookinetes and sporozoites." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021SORUS053.
Full textAnopheles mosquito is a vector of Plasmodium parasite, the causative agent of malaria. The Anopheles leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins were described as key antagonists of Plasmodium parasites in Anopheles mosquito midgut. APL1C (Anopheles Plasmodium-responsive factor) is a representative of LRR members which specifically protects against rodent malaria parasites by stabilizing the complement-like protein TEP1. By combining cell biology with functional genomic approaches, this study shows that mosquito bloodmeal induce the presence of an extracellular layer of APL1C protein surrounding the midgut beneath of the basal lamina. Consistently with the formation of this layer, APL1C binds to the ookinetes that emerged on the basal side of the midgut. This presence occurs independently from TEP1 function, requires the contribution of the phagocytic cells and nitration pathway. In addition, APL1C defence function is not restricted to the ookinete in the midgut but it also acts against the latest Plasmodium stage, the sporozoites. APL1C inhibits salivary glands infection prevalence, and consistently, it also binds to the surface of the sporozoites in the hemocoel. However, unlike to the midgut stages, anti-sporozoites APL1C-dependent mechanism involves different partners. Moreover, RNAseq study revealed APL1C gene targets, including genes with immune-like function. These results generate novel biological insight for the function of APL1C, and probably other LRR family members, as a pathogen recognition receptor inducing immune response against pathogens that come in contact with mosquito hemolymph compartment

Full textFor a long time, the classical dogma has considered complement activation in brain pathology deleterious for surrounding cells since it promotes inflammation processes and triggers membran attack complexe formation resulting in cell lysis. A growing body of evidence implicates complement in neuoroprotection processes. My PhD work consisted in exploring the different mecanisms set up by complement activation to protect cells, neurons essentially. The up-regulation of neuronal CD55 or NGF secretion by astrocytes following a simultaneous anaphylatoxins and IL-1b stimulation may contibute to neuronal protection. On the other hand, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, which is an important process to prevent inflammatory reaction is not regulated by C3a

Full textInflammatory reactions could occur in the brain during numerous pathological disorders when an increase of complement synthesis, actor of natural immunity, has been observed. In the absence of cellular infiltration, an intrathecal inflammatory reaction could be realized by glial cells. The activation of these cells, which synthesize the totality of the complement cascade components, leads to the release of C3a and C5a anaphylatoxins, two potent inflammatory mediators, and to the formation of the membrane attack complex. The presence of anaphylatoxin receptors on brain cells and the increase of their expression during some pathologies led us to determine their roles in the brain, in particular on astrocytes, immunocompetent glial cells. Our studies show that C3a and C5a activate several transduction pathways leading to an increase of chemokine mRNA expression, including IL-8. However an increase of IL-8 secretion could be detected only in the presence of IL-1ß. Thus, at least in part, anaphylatoxins may participate to leukocyte recruitment into the brain. C3a and C5a also increase neurotrophin mRNA expression and lead to a weak secretion of NGF, and so, participate to neuroprotection and post-lesioned repairing. Finally, we show an unexpected role for C3a in the clearance of apoptotic cells via the increase of phosphatidylserine receptor expression by astrocytes. Our data allocate new roles to anaphylatoxins on astrocytes and suggest that they could have a dual effect in the brain

Full textComplement System (C) is an important part of the innate humoral immunity and comprises about thirty plasmatic proteins. In the case of several pathologies, this System supports and worsens inflammation. These phenomena occur in several neurodegenerative diseases in which the inhibition of the Complement System may lead to a substantial therapeutic benefit. However, such anticomplementary drugs are not yet available. Glycans represent a huge source of bioactives molecules, although not thoroughly explored. Among those molecules, fucoidan is a polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed (like Ascophyllum nodosum) and composed of sulfated-fucose units. This polymer is a potent Complement inhibitor. We evidenced that fucoidan inhibits both alternative and classical activation pathways. The classical one is blocked at the Cl-complex activation step and at the C3 convertase formation level. Experiments based on single-molecule observations enable us to show that fucoidan interacts with specifie domains of Clq that leads to the inhibition of the association of the enzymatic sub-unit of the Cl complex. Protein C4 is another target of fucoidan:the analysis by affinity capillary electrophoresis demonstrate for the first time the formation of a complex between the polysaccharide and C4 and also C4b, a fragment of C4. Concerning the alternative pathway, our study shows that fucoidan potentiates the Factor I-mediated inactivation of C3b, in the presence of Factor H. Zonal capillary electrophoresis experiments suggest that H induces a conformational change of C3b, rendering it sensitive to the proteolytic activity of I. We assume that fucoidan interferes with the activation of alternative pathway by potentiating the H-mediated conformational change of C3b. Concerning the structure-activity relationships, structural studies demonstrated that branchings, 2-sulfated units and disulfated units are essential to the anticomplementary activity of fucoidan

Full textDuring spaceflights, astronauts encounter numerous stresses leading to immune system impairment. Given the scarcity of space missions, simulation models are used on Earth to study the effects of spaceflight-associated stresses on the immune system. The aim of this thesis was to study the effects of spaceflight-associated stresses on the complement system and on dendritic cells (DC). First, we studied the effects of individual or combined spaceflight-associated stresses on the C3 molecule expression in amphibians and mice. We showed that some of these stresses such as microgravity increased the C3 complement expression in P. waltl larvae but no variation were found in mice subjected to simulated microgravity (hindlimb unloading model). We also studied the effects of simulated microgravity by RPM on murine DC phenotype and function. We showed that RPM exposure impaired both DC actin cytoskeleton and survival. Moreover, DC exposed to simulated microgravity showed an immature phenotype characterized by a decrease of co-stimulation molecule expression and pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion, which are essentials for DC functions. However, these numerous alterations did not affect antigen presentation to T cells. Taken together, these results highlight the significant effects of spaceflight-associated stresses on the immune system. Studying microgravity will allow to better understand its effects on health and to develop adapted countermeasures

Full textThe complement system is activated during multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. In the animal model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice, we have show that C3d opsonization of a myelin antigen, the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, can promote tolerance breakdown and trigger an autoimmune response. C3d binding to MOG also results in the exacerbation of clinical signs of EAE, correlated with an increased leukocyte infiltration of the central nervous system, enhanced activation of B lymphocytes and their related functions, and an increased production of anti-MOG antibodies. Together, these effects contribute to enhance demyelination and neuronal damages which lead to neurological disorders. Thus, this study has demonstrated the deleterious role of C3d when it is bound to a self-antigen in the course of autoimmune diseases

Full textThe nervous system of invertebrates has functional characteristics different from those of vertebrates. In the leech Hirudo medicinalis, a well-recognized model in neurobiology, the nerve cord repair might be effective after injury. This physiological process requires the mobilization of microglial cells present in the leech nervous system and seems to mimic some key-phases of an inflammatory reaction.A search of the effector molecules involved in this cell recruitment was undertaken. A protein homologous to human complement factor C1q, named HmC1q, was characterized and was shown to be involved in the early accumulation of microglia. Indeed, constitutively expressed in neurons, HmC1q is directly expressed on the cut end of the connective and, in response to the injury, has been shown to increase the recruitment of a subpopulation of microglial cells. Thus HmC1q behaves as a chemoattractant cytokine. The production of its recombinant form in the yeast Pichia pastoris enabled us to specify the molecular mechanisms by which this new chemoattractant, might be highly active in the leech nervous system. The experiments carried out by flow cytometry, immunopreciptation and in chemotaxis analysis that were performed with an anti-gC1qR, argue for the existence of an human homologous gC1qR-like receptor at the surface the reactive of microglial cell subpopulation reactive to HmC1q. By this work, it was shown, for the first time in the CNS of an invertebrate, the existence of a « new cytokine » HmC1q, homologous to the vertebrate protein C1q, but also belonging to the vast C1q-TNF cytokine family. Finally the present original results suggest that HmC1q may have a key role in neuron-glia dialogue that is essential to maintain the integrity of the nervous system

Full textMemory impairment is one of the disabling manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS) that could be present from the early stage of the disease. Hippocampal synaptic dysfunction and dendritic loss in association with microglia activation have been suggested in previous work done in our laboratory as the substrate for memory deficit. However the main molecular mechanistic pathways driving such hippocampal neurodegeneration are still to elucidate.In this study, we first tested the expression of genes involved in microglia-neuron interactions within the dentate gyrus of early-stage experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice. We found a selective overexpression of genes involved in the complement pathway. Compared to control CFA-mice, the central complement component C3 showed the strongest upregulation by a factor of 10, which was confirmed by quantification of C3 protein, while there was no increase of downstream components such as the terminal component C5. In situ hybridization coupled with immunofluorescence showed that C3 transcripts were mainly originating from activated microglial cells.Secondly, we used two different approaches to inhibit C3 complement component. Pharmacological inhibition of C3 by daily administration of rosmarinic acid (RMA) in EAE mice was sufficient to prevent early dentate gyrus dendritic loss, microglial phagocytosis of synapses and early memory impairment, while microglia activation was still present. Similarly, dentate gyrus dendrites and spines were protected when EAE was induced in C3 deficient mice (C3KO) which translated into preserved memory performances.Altogether this PhD work highlights a central role of C3 in early hippocampal neurodegeneration and memory impairment in EAE. These results pave the way toward new neuroprotective strategies in MS to prevent cognitive deficit, with microglial inhibitor such as RMA

Full textOccurrence of pro-coagulant factor VIII (FVIII) neutralizing antibodies in hemophilia A patients constitutes a major therapeutic failure. While the effector steps of the immune response, the nature of the involved immune cells and the antibodies properties have been well-reported, the early stages of the immune response are poorly described and constitute the topic of my PhD thesis. The first part of my thesis deals with the role of the microenvironment encountered by FVIII once administered in vivo, especially the role of complement system molecules. While complement system is a major actor of the innate immunity, it also participates to adaptive immune responses and can interact with the coagulation cascade. Though complement is involved in immune responses against pathogens, its contribution to immune responses against therapeutic proteins has never been reported so far. Therefore I have investigated the potential role of the complement system in the immunogenicity of therapeutic FVIII. The second part of my thesis focuses on the involvement of FVIII structure for its recognition by the immune system. It has been demonstrated that FVIII C1 domain plays a major role of its uptake by immune cells in vitro and its immunogenicity in vivo. Because of strong structural homologies between C1 and C2 domains, I investigated the potential role of FVIII C2 domain for its endocytosis by antigen presenting cells and the elicitation of the anti-FVIII immune response

Full textHuman mesial temporal lobe epilepsies (MTLE) are the most frequent form of partial epilepsies and display high frequency of drug-resistance. They represent a major medical and scientific issue and a major health care problem. Generally, epilepsy may develop as a consequence of a brain-damaging insult such as head trauma, stroke, brain infection, or febrile seizure (FS). This initial insult triggers a cascade of progressive and parallel cellular and molecular events in specific areas of the brain, which may in turn confer new properties to the epileptogenic tissue, and result in the development of spontaneous recurrent seizures. While limbic seizures have often been associated with hippocampus sclerosis, several studies have also highlighted the major role that play the entorhinal cortex (EC) in MTLE. EC displays les dramatic histological changes than the hippocampus, with few or no detectable cell loss, and the molecular and cellular events have been little studied. Despite some progress in the understanding of the pathogenesis of human MTLE, their molecular bases remain mainly undetermined. Few large-scale studies have been performed in human MTLE, and none has analysed the entorhinal cortex. A two-step transcriptional analysis consisting of cDNA microarray experiment followed by quantitative RT-PCR validations was performed in the entorhinal cortex (epileptogenic area) of MTLE patients, as compared with lateral temporal neocortex (LTC)(non-epileptogenic control area) obtained from the same patients as well as to non-epileptic autopsic controls. Six consistently dysregulated genes were identified: three up-regulated genes encode proteins involved in the immune response : CD99, CD74, C3; two downregulated genes encode neurotransmitter receptors NPY1R, HTR2A and a third one FHL2 encodes a protein associating with the KCNE1 (mink) potassium channel subunit and with presenilin-2. Analysis of the qualitative and quantitative changes at the protein level, led to the confirmation of NPY1R downregulation and C3 upregulation by western blot and immunohistochemistry respectively. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry experiment revealed the existence of perivascular infiltration of C3 positive leucocytes and/or detected C3 and membrane attack complexes on a subset of neurons within the EC of nine out of the eleven MTLE patients. Overall our data indicate that local dysregulation of the neurotransmission and complement system is a frequent event in human MTLE. These data open new avenues for understanding the molecular basis of these epilepsies. It also provide new perspectives for the future development of preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, directed towards the molecular targets that we have identified

Full textStreptococcus pneumoniae is a major human pathogen, which causes pneumonia, meningitis and septicemia. To insure its survival and dissemination, the pneumococcus deploys an array of virulence factors promoting invasion of tissues and evasion from the immune system. A particular class of proteins not associated with any known export system, the moonlighting proteins, is found at the pneumococcal surface. Moonlighting proteins are conserved cytoplasmic metabolic enzymes or molecular chaperones localized in various cellular compartments and exhibiting additional functions. The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is found at the surface of numerous eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and display diverse roles in the virulence processes of pathogenic organisms. The pneumococcal surface GAPDH acts as a virulence factor by binding to host plasminogen/plasmin, which facilitates the bacterial invasion through the extracellular matrix and the endothelial and epithelial cell barriers. However, the mechanisms leading to the GAPDH export and binding to the bacterial surface had not been deciphered yet. This work demonstrates that the GAPDH is released upon cell lysis and associates with the peptidoglycan. C1q, a key component of the classical complement pathway, is a major player in the response to microbial infection and has been shown to detect noxious altered-self substances such as apoptotic cells. The use of complementary experimental approaches allowed the identification of the GAPDH as a C1q partner when exposed at the surface of S. pneumoniae and human apoptotic cells. However, and rather unexpectedly, the pneumococcal GAPDH activates the complement cascade unlike the human one. Those results encourage further studies in order to understand how C1q recognition of two closely related proteins can lead to such striking differences on its complement activation properties

Full textAfter tissue injury or infection, Complement activation provides powerful signals initiating the inflammatory reaction. These events are mediated by biologically active fragments such as C5a which attracts cells expressing its receptor (C5aR/CD88) to the injury site. Besides inflammatory cells as the main C5aR-Expressing cells, various tissue cells have been reported to express this receptor suggesting its involvement in other processes. In order to investigate the possible relationship between complement activation and pulp regeneration, we investigated Complement activation in the dental pulp and progenitor cell migration from their perivascular niches to the pulp injury site to initiate the regeneration process.Our results indicate that complement activation in the dental pulp is the result of both plasma and fibroblast secreted complement proteins. Thus upon local complement activation, which can occur after pathological injury or biomaterials application, C5a induces pulp progenitors’ migration which is critical in initiating the regenerative processes. To our knowledge, this is the first work to demonstrate the involvement of C5a biologically active fragment in the recruitment human pulp progenitor cells. This may provide a useful future therapeutic tool in targeting the progenitor cells in a dentin/pulp regeneration process
Mahesh, Iyer Keerthana. "The role of complement system related genes in synapse formation and specificity in the olivo-cerebellar network." Thesis, Paris 6, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA066406.
Full textSynapse connectivity occurs in a precise manner such that no two types of afferents innervate the same postsynaptic subcellular domain. To test whether this specificity is controlled by a unique combination of molecules at each synapse, I used the olivo-cerebellar circuit as a model. There, two excitatory inputs, the Parallel fibers originating from granule cells and Climbing fibers originating from inferior olivary neurons, innervate distinct territories on the same target neuron, the Purkinje cell. Comparative gene expression analysis of these two inputs showed that the inferior olivary neurons express a greater diversity of genes encoding membrane and secreted proteins belonging to immune system-related pathways. Moreover, each input expresses a specific combination of complement-related genes. Among these, I identified the functional roles of two novel candidate genes specifically expressed by inferior olivary neurons. Secreted C1Q-related protein C1QL1 plays an instructive role in specifying Climbing fiber innervation territory on Purkinje cells, while membrane-bound complement control-related protein SUSD4 ensures the acquisition of proper functional properties of Climbing fiber synapses and their long-term stability. Given that C1Q-related CBLN1 promotes Parallel fiber synaptogenesis, these results show that different members of the C1Q family are important determinants of the identity and specific connectivity of each excitatory synapse in the cerebellar cortex. This study provides novel insights into the “chemoaffinity code” that controls subcellular specificity at each synapse type during the formation of neural circuits
Merle, Nicolas. "Mechanisms of complement activation under hemolytic conditions." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCB076/document.
Full textComplement system is a complex and tightly regulated innate immune defensive cascade, which can promote tissue damage, when overactivated. Hemolysis-derived danger associated molecular pattern heme is able to activate complement in serum and on endothelial cells (EC) in vitro, providing a rational for scrutinizing the impact of complement activation in hemolytic diseases. The objectives of this work were to study whether and how intravascular hemolysis induces complement activation in vivo, and to understand the underlying mechanism that leads to the acquisition of a complement activating phenotype of the endothelium in order to identify novel therapeutic strategies. We found complement deposits, including C3 activation fragments and C5b-9, within kidneys of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) nephropathy (a prototypical hemolytic disease) as well as in a mouse model of SCD. We set up and characterized the renal injury of a mouse model of massive intravascular hemolysis, triggered by injection of phenylhydrazine (PHZ). We revealed C3 deposition within kidneys of the PHZ-treated animals. It was prevented by heme scavenging with hemopexin (Hx) and reproduced by injections of free heme, thus demonstrating the importance of heme for the complement activation in vivo. SCD erythrocytes microvesicles (MVs), are a pathologically relevant source of labile heme, since they carry three times more heme on their surface compare to MVs from healthy donors. We demonstrated that MVs, generated from SCD erythrocytes, activate complement in human serum and on EC surface, in part on a heme-dependent manner. These data highlight the importance of heme as a complement activator in hemolytic diseases. Further, we found that the C3 activation fragments deposits on endothelium in vivo and on EC in vitro can be in part explained by interaction of heme with TLR4. Indeed, the use of a specific inhibitor of TLR4, TAK-242, reduced about 50% the complement deposits on EC surface and such deposits on vascular endothelium in PHZ- or heme-injected mice were attenuated TLR4-/- mice. Moreover, we found that heme/TLR4-dependent complement deposition was mediated by the rapid expression of P-selectin, which in turn, recruited C3b and C3(H2O) on the EC surface, as evidenced by real time protein interaction analyses and using of blocking antibodies. Together our results demonstrated that heme and erythrocytes MVs are the hemolysis-derived products which promoted complement activation. At cellular level, heme induced complement-activating phenotype of EC by triggering TLR4/P-selectin axis and resulting in C3 activation fragments on cell surface. Together, these studies underline the potential benefits of Hx and TAK-242 against complement activation in pathologies related to hemolysis

Full textThe Global Positioning System is a valuable tool in navigation, geodesy and time metrology. Operational time transfer can be performed over very long baselines at the nanosecond level. In civil aviation though, aprt from intentional degradation, outages and lack of integrity are the main shortcomings of GPS. The project of a complement to GPS consist of generating on board a geostationary stellite, through servo-control from the earth, GPS-like signals and a time scale synchronized in GPS time. The goal is to enable GPS to be ratified as a stand-alone en route navigation means, thanks to a space segment augmentation and the monitoring mission of the complement. The European Complement to GPS experiment confirms the feasibility of the project. Alternative methods for GPS time restitution are studied, with different SA models. An original method for real time clock synchronization, without data transfer, is also proposed. This possibility, combined with GPS time prediction, would be of great interest for a Wide Area Differential Global Positioning System

Full textIn vertebrates, the liver has developed to be a major metabolic organ able to control glucose and lipid homeostasis. It activates or inhibits specific pathways in a regulated manner, depending on the metabolic state of our organism. Based on the emerging experimental evidence suggesting that the ubiquitin conjugation system is engaged in response to different metabolic cues, we conducted a global proteomic analysis to identify metabolic pathways modified by ubiquitylation. To this end, we used livers of mice subjected to a fasting – refeeding protocol. Amongst the 117 proteins differentially ubiquitylated upon fasting or refeeding conditions, we identified complement 3 (C3) to be ubiquitinated in livers of refed mice. We observed that an activation product of C3, C3a, is ubiquitylated in primary hepatocytes treated with nutrient-rich media. Thus, we suggest that the ubiquitylation of C3 plays a role in the regulation of inflammatory or metabolic functions of C3 in the liver

Full textNanomedicines injected intravenously interact with surrounding biological elements in the bloodstream. Among these interactions, those with blood proteins turn out to be very important regarding the becoming of the nanovectors. They acquire a biological identity upon interaction with proteins which influence their path to target tissue and cells. The understanding and mastering of these phenomena remains a crucial issue in nanomedicine development. Methods allowing an easier study of these interactions are needed. The aim of these PhD thesis was to develop such methods, usable on a routine basis in a clinical context, allowing a fine characterization of nanomedicines and their interactions with plasmatic proteins. This PhD is part of the project “Nano Innovation for CancEr” (NICE, BPI France), gathering a consortium of industrials partners developing clinical nanomedicines.In a first time, a bibliographic study about current methods used for such a characterization could identify two major limitations. (i) On one hand, the complexity of current available methods for which the equipment specificity and required expertise prevent their use at a large scale. (ii) On the other hand, properties today characterized on a daily basis (size, morphology, charge) are too rough compared to the sharpness of biological processes who interact and “analyze” the nanovectors introduced in biological media. These two aspects are limiting a safer development of nanomedicines as well as a good reproducibility of their action in clinics.During this thesis, we developed methods allowing a beginning of answer to the wide problematic of nanomedicine characterization. A method for a high throughput analysis of complement activation by nanomedicines via 2D immunoelectrophoresis was developed and validated. It allows the reproducible analysis of protein C3 fragmentation. This method is applicable to the study of the impact of nanoparticles in human serum and their degree of action on the complement cascade. This method has been used for a more fundamental study on complement activation pathways activated according to the architecture of nanoparticles surface.A second method for the study of complement activation produced by nanoparticles has been proposed using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). A chip allowing an automated screening of complement activation has been developed. This method was compared to other methods for complement activation study (2D immunoelectrophoresis, ELISA) and allowed the identification of bias during nanomedicine evaluation.Finally, an original approach for the characterization of nanomedicine’s surface architecture using proteins as molecular probes has been proposed. In this method, capillary electrophoresis has been used as analytical tool to allow a direct analysis of sample without preliminary nanoparticle removal step.Methods developed during this work can be applied to the characterization of nanomedicines and proposed as routine methods for quality control. A development of nanomedicines characterization in this direction constitute one of the lever for a more fruitful translation of nanomedicines entering in clinical phase

Full textUpon pulp traumatic injuries or carious lesions, bacteria may infiltrate the dental pulp. Pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages are recruited to the infected/injured tissue and eliminate pathogens by phagocytosis. Once the infection is under control, the anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages initiate the regeneration processes. The aim of this thesis is to understand the possible interaction between pulp fibroblasts, the most abundant cell population within the dental pulp, and macrophages leading to bacteria elimination and to the initiation of dentin-pulp regeneration. Our results show that pulp fibroblasts produce the Complement C3b fragment. This fragment acts as an opsonin by binding to salivary and cariogenic bacteria, thus inducing their phagocytosis by macrophages. When pulp fibroblasts are subjected to pathogens, they induce macrophage differentiation into the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. This phenotype secretes pro-inflammatory factors, such as Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF-α) and carries out phagocytosis. The pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages also initiate the regeneration process by inducing dental pulp stem cell recruitment. When fibroblasts are injured without being subjected to pathogens, they promote the macrophage anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. M2 macrophages release anti-inflammatory factors, such as interleukin 10 (IL-10), and induce dental pulp stem cell proliferation. In conclusion, pulp fibroblasts provide a major support to macrophages in bacteria elimination and represent a major actor in the dental pulp regeneration process. Thus, through their interaction with macrophages, fibroblasts regulate pulp inflammation and regeneration

Full textThe early stages of brain development are largely determined by genetic programs. After birth, neuronal connections become susceptible to remodeling in response to changes in the environment. This plasticity culminates during specific time windows termed critical periods. The underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. In my thesis, I studied the mechanisms underlying network plasticity during two critical periods in mice: the critical period of ocular dominance plasticity in the visual cortex and the critical period of synaptic pruning in the prefrontal cortex. In a first study, I studied the properties of excitatory synapses in PV interneurons of the visual cortex during postnatal development. My results suggest that the developmental regulation of GRIP1 protein expression in PV interneurons governs the composition of AMPA receptors and homeostatic synaptic plasticity, and may play a role in the opening of the critical period in the visual cortex. In a second study, I investigated the consequences of high expression of the C4 complement gene, which in humans predisposes to schizophrenia, on cortical maturation. I showed that overexpression of C4 in the prefrontal cortex causes several phenotypes that in humans have been associated with schizophrenia: loss of dendritic spines, changes in transmission carried by NMDA receptors, alterations in GABAergic transmission and deficits in working memory
