Impact du stade de maturation de la molécule cellulaire HLA-DR sur son incorporation dans le virus d'immunodéficience humaine de type-1

Danylo, Alexis 17 April 2018 (has links)
La molécule HLA-DR du complexe majeur d'histocompatibilité de classe II (CMH-II) est fortement incorporée dans l'enveloppe virale du virus d'immunodéficience humaine de type 1 (VIH-1). L'expression à la membrane cytoplasmique de cette même molécule est modulée à la baisse par la protéine virale Nef. D'autre part, Nef augmente l'expression de la chaîne invariante CD74, une autre protéine du CMH-II associée avec HLA-DR dans un complexe protéique immature. D'autres protéines accessoires virales, telles Vpu, interagissent avec le CMH-II. Vpu diminue l'expression de HLA-DR et interagit avec la portion intracellulaire de CD74. Cette étude a pour but de vérifier si les complexes immatures de CMH-II sont incorporés dans l'enveloppe virale du VIH-1. Elle veut aussi vérifier l'impact de la présence de Nef et de Vpu sur l'incorporation du CMH-II. La modulation à la baisse de HLA-DR et l'augmentation d'expression de CD74 induite par Nef ont été confirmées à la surface de lymphocytes T CD4+. La molécule CD74 représentant un complexe de CMH-II immature ne semble pas être incorporée dans l'enveloppe virale, peu importe la présence ou l'absence de Nef et de Vpu lors de l'infection. La présence de Nef ne semble pas influencer l'incorporation de HLA-DR qui demeure toujours fortement incorporée. Vpu semble important pour l'incorporation du HLA-DR, puisqu'un virus sans Vpu incorpore nettement moins de HLA-DR. Un mutant déficient en phosphorylation sur deux serines de Vpu, pour sa part, semble permettre une incorporation partielle de cette même molécule. Ces résultats semblent indiquer que HLA-DR est incorporée selon son stade de maturation et que Vpu est essentielle à l'incorporation de HLA-DR.

The gaze and subjectivity in fin de siècle Gothic fiction

Foster, Paul Graham January 2007 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with the importance of the gaze in fin-de-siecle Gothic. One of the ways in which the importance of the gaze manifests itself is in the central role of the onlooker like Enfield, Utterson or Lanyon in Robert Louis Stevenson's Stange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), Prendick In H.G. Well's Island of Dr Moreau (1896), or Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897). As their appelation suggests, Wells's Beast Men confound the distinction between the human and the animal, which is also the case with 'Beast Men' like Hyde and Dracula. A central concern of the thisis is the perceptual drama that is involved in looking at the spectacle of the monstrous body, for excample, as the onlooker struggles to get to grips with the challenge to representation posed by these 'Beast Men'.

Epidemiologia, diagnóstico, marcadores de imunocompetência e prognóstico da sepse / Epidemiology, diagnosis, immunocompetence and prognosis of sepsis

Mario Castro Alvarez Perez 29 October 2009 (has links)
Apesar de uma diversidade de estudos científicos, em que dezenas de milhares de pacientes foram analisados e tratados, a sepse continua sendo um grande desafio para a medicina contemporânea. Investigações bem conduzidas levaram a uma reavaliação do modelo clássico da sepse, tradicionalmente vista como um processo descontrolado de hiperinflamação sistêmica, uma vez que se observou a existência de uma atividade antiinflamatória ao longo do seu curso evolutivo. Nesse contexto, o comportamento do sistema imune inato se assemelha ao de indivíduos idosos submetidos ao fenômeno da imunossenescência, interseção ainda mais relevante ao considerarmos o crescente incremento na faixa etária média dos pacientes internados em UTI. O presente estudo visou a estabelecer a epidemiologia da sepse em um hospital público de um país de renda media, como é o caso do Brasil. Ademais, através de citometria de fluxo, buscamos definir a cinética da expressão monocitária de moléculas HLA-DR e CD64 ao longo do processo de envelhecimento humano. Comparamos essas observações com o comprometimento do sistema imune inato visto na sepse visando discriminar as alterações da senescência do sistema imune associada ao envelhecimento daquelas associadas ao fenômeno da imunoparalisia da sepse. Na investigação epidemiológica, nós encontramos uma taxa de ocorrência de 5,9 casos de sepse por 100 pacientes e uma densidade de incidência de 6,4 casos por 1000 pacientes-dia. Documentamos ainda sua associação com uma elevada incidência de sepse e documentamos sua associação com uma elevada taxa de comordidades crônicas. A sepse foi diagnosticada tardiamente (72% dos casos após 12 horas de evolução) e em estágio avançado como atestado pelos elevados escores de gravidade de doença e de disfunção orgânica. O presente estudo identificou vários obstáculos à efetiva implementação das recomendações da Surviving Sepsis Campaign. No segundo estudo, observamos correlações negativas significativas entre idade e intensidade de expressão dos biomarcadores avaliados. Durante a sepse, a expressão de mHLA-DR foi ainda mais reduzida, enquanto a expressão de CD64 foi majorada. Para melhor discriminar imunossenescência de imunoparalisia, valores de cutoff de 9.700 m/c para mCD64 e de 7.000 m/c para mHLA-DR forneceram as melhores combinações de sensibilidade e especificidade. / Despite a multiplicity of trials enrolling several thousands of treated patients, sepsis still represents a major challenge to contemporary medicine. Since several well-conducted investigations have consistently indicated the existence of an anti-inflammatory activity during sepsis evolution, there has been a reappraisal of the classic sepsis model in which the condition was traditionally seen as an uncontrolled systemic hyper-inflammatory process. During sepsis, the innate immune system behavior has some similarities to the immunosenescence process experienced by elderly people; something that is even more relevant when considering the progressive increase of the mean age of the patients admitted to ICUs along the last decades. This study investigated the epidemiology of sepsis in a public university hospital from a middle-income country, as is the case of Brazil. Also, applying a flow cytometry methodology, we tried to establish the kinetics of the molecular expression of HLA-DR and CD64 on monocytes during human aging. To put it in context, we compared such findings with those obtained from septic patients aiming at the discrimination between changes related to the normal aging process from those of the immunoparalysis phenomenon seen in sepsis. In the epidemiological arm of this study, we found an occurrence rate of 5.9 cases of sepsis per 100 patients, and an incidence density of 6.4 cases per 1000 patient-days. We documented the association of sepsis with an elevated rate of chronic comorbid conditions. Sepsis was detected late (72% evolving for more than 12 hours) and in advanced stages as indicated by severity and organ failure scores. The study detected several obstacles to the effective implementation of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommendations. In the second study, we observed significant negative correlations between age and the levels of HLA-DR and of CD64 expression on monocytes. During sepsis, HLA-DR expression decreased further while CD64 expression was upregulated. To better discriminate immunosenescence from immunoparalysis, cutoff values of 9,700 m/c for mCD64 and of 7,000 m/c for HLA-DR provided the best combination of sensitivity and specificity.

Rôle de nouveaux gènes dans la polyarthrite rhumatoïde. / Role of new genes in rheumatoid arthritis

Khalifa, Olfa 08 November 2016 (has links)
La polyarthrite rhumatoïde (PR) est le rhumatisme inflammatoire chronique le plus fréquent avec une prévalence mondiale qui varie selon les pays mais se situe aux alentours de 0,5% dans le monde. La PR est caractérisée par une atteinte articulaire souvent bilatérale et symétrique, évoluant par poussées inflammatoires, une production d'auto-anticorps, une destruction du cartilage et de l'os entrainant des déformations. La PR peut survenir à tous les âges mais apparaît le plus souvent entre 40 et 60 ans, avec une forte prédominance féminine (3 : 1). Il existe des variations géographiques au sein d'un même continent ou d'un même pays en raison de facteurs environnementaux, immunologiques mais aussi génétiques. Depuis bientôt 40 ans, l’implication du gène HLA-DRB1 est connue. Les études à grande échelle sur tout le génome ont permis d’identifier 110 nouveaux polymorphismes qui n’expliquent qu’une partie de la composante génétique de la PR. Ces études ont été principalement menées dans les populations d’Amérique du Nord, d’Asie ou d’Europe du Nord. L’objectif de ma thèse était donc d’étudier des facteurs génétiques de prédisposition à la PR 1) codant pour des microARNs ou mARNs, 2) dans deux populations jusqu’ici peu ou pas étudiées, et 3) portés par le chromosome X.Pour cela, j’ai travaillé sur deux ethnies différentes (Tunisienne et Française) afin d’effectuer une étude d’association « cas-contrôle » via une approche « gènes candidats». J’ai genotypé 3 polymorphismes (SNPs) sur le locus Xq28, et 2 SNPs sur le gène REL et quantifié le niveau d’expression de 13 micro-ARNs (miR-363, miR-106a, miR-20b, miR-188, miR-92a, miR-532, miR-652, miR-221, miR-222, miR-223, miR-98, let-7f miR-718 et miR-3202) situés sur le chromosome X. J’ai également évalué les composantes HLA et l’épitope partagé (EP) dans ces deux populations. J’ai effectué une analyse des haplotypes et du degré de déséquilibre de liaison (LD) pour chaque locus. Enfin j’ai validé mes résultats grâce à des méta-analyses.Mes résultats sur un échantillon cas/témoins de 995 individus montrent que les locus Xq28 et REL sont fortement associés à la PR chez les femmes Tunisiennes et Françaises, avec des différences entre ces deux populations. Les résultats des allèles du complexe HLA-DRB1 pourraient expliquer ces différences puisque ce ne sont pas les mêmes allèles HLA-DRB1 qui prédominent dans les deux populations. Parmi les 11 micro-ARNs étudiés, deux ne sont pas détectables (miR-718 et miR-3202) dans les PBMCs des patients atteints de PR, cinq (miR-221, miR-222, miR-223, miR-106a, miR-98) montrent une différence statistique d’expression entre les femmes contrôles et les femmes PR, et 6 (let-7f, miR-188, miR-652, miR-20b, miR-363, miR-92a) ne montrent aucune différences entre les deux groupes. Le cluster miR-221-222 montre une corrélation avec le génotype (AA+AG) de SNP rs3761548 et (AG+GG) versus (AA) et rs2223356 du gène FoxP3 chez les patients atteints de PR seulement avec une stratification en fonction du sexe.En conclusion, cette étude de 3 types de facteurs génétiques de prédisposition à la PR apporte un éclairage nouveau aux précédentes études Asiatiques ou d’Europe et d’Amérique du Nord, mettant en évidence des différences ethniques et géographiques. Des études de génomique fonctionnelle et sur de larges cohortes masculines seront nécessaires pour une meilleure compréhension de la physiopathologie de la PR et de l’importance du chromosome X dans cette maladie. Par ailleurs, le rôle des micro-ARNs en tant que facteurs génétiques de prédisposition de la PR reste peu étudié et mérite de futures explorations. / Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic inflammatory joint disease with a worldwide prevalence that varies by country but is around 0.5% worldwide. RA is characterized by a bilateral and symmetrical joint disease, relapsing inflammation, production of auto-antibodies, cartilage destruction and bone causing deformations. RA can occur at any age, however, it appears most often between 40 and 60 years, with a strong female predominance (3: 1). There are geographical variations within the same continent or in the same country because of environmental factors, immunological but also genetical reasons. For nearly 40 years, the involvement of the HLA-DRB1 gene is known. Large-scale studies of the genome have identified 110 new polymorphisms (SNPs) that explain only a part of the genetic component of RA. These studies were mainly conducted in North American, Asian and North European populations. The aim of my thesis was to study genetic factors of susceptibility to RA 1) encoding microRNAs and mRNAs, 2) in two unstudied populations, and 3) with a specific focus on the X chromosome.For that, I worked on two different ethnicities (Tunisian and French) to conduct a "case-control" study of association via a "candidate gene" approach. I have genotyped 3 SNPs on the Xq28 locus (rs1059702, rs1059703, rs13397) and two SNPs on the REL gene , and quantified the expression level of 11 micro-RNAs (has_Mir-223, has_Mir-363, has_Mir-106a, 20b-has_Mir, has_Mir-188, has_Mir-92a, has_Mir-532, has_Mir-652, has_Mir-221, has_Mir -222, has_Mir-223, has_Mir-98 and let-7f) located within the X chromosome. I also assessed the HLA components and the shared epitope (SE) in these two populations. I performed a haplotype analysis and a linkage disequilibrium (LD) study for each locus. Finally I validated my results through a Meta-analysis.My results on a case/control sample of 995 individuals show that the Xq28 locus and REL locus are strongly associated with RA in both Tunisian and French women, with however differences between the two populations. The results of the HLA-DRB1 alleles might explain these differences since different HLA-DRB1 alleles predominate in each population. In overall our analysis showed that among the 11 studied X-linked miRNAs, two are not detectable (miR-718 and miR-3202) in PBMCs of RA patients, five (miR-221, miR-222, miR-223, miR-106a, miR-98) show a statistical difference between controls and RA women, and 6 (let-7f, miR-188, miR-652, miR-20b, miR-363, miR-92a) show no differences between controls and RA women. MiR-222 and miR-221 was statically correlation with (AA+AC) versus (CC) FoxP3 SNP rs3761548 and (AG+GG) versus (AA) FoxP3 SNP rs2223356 in RA patients only with gender stratification.In conclusion, this study focusing on three types of genetic predisposition to RA sheds new light on the previous studies from Asia, Northern Europe and America, highlighting ethnical and geographical differences. Functional genomic studies and large male cohorts will be needed for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of RA and to study the importance of the X chromosome in this disease. Moreover, the role of micro-RNAs as genetic factors of RA remains under-studied and needs further exploration.

Die immunmodulatorische Wirkung von Ethylpyruvat

Hollenbach, Marcus 23 August 2011 (has links)
In einer Vielzahl von Arbeiten konnten anti-inflammatorische Eigenschaften von Ethylpyruvat (EP) aufgezeigt werden. An verschiedenen Modellen der Sepsis, des hämorrhagischen Schocks, von Verbrennungsschäden, des Apoplex oder der Ischämie und Reperfusion wurde bei der Behandlung mit EP ein protektiver Effekt sowie eine verminderte Produktion von pro-inflammatorischen Zytokinen nachgewiesen. Als biochemische Grundlage wurde die Interaktion von EP mit dem Transkriptionsfaktor NF-κB identifiziert, die spezifischen Regulationsmechanismen konnten bisher allerdings nicht zufriedenstellend aufgeklärt werden. In dieser Arbeit wurde als eine neue mögliche Erklärung für die anti-inflammatorischen Eigenschaften des EP und weiterer α-oxo-Karbonsäureester die Inhibierung der Glyoxalase I (Glo-I) aufgezeigt. In vitro-Experimente zur Enzymaktivität belegten die Hemmung der Glo-I durch EP, während α-Hydroxy-Karbonsäureester wie L-Ethyllaktat (EL) keine inhibierenden Eigenschaften aufwiesen. Dennoch waren sowohl EP als auch EL und weitere Laktatester in der Lage, die LPS-induzierte Produktion von pro-inflammatorischen Zytokinen wie IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 und TNF-α von humanen immunkompetenten Zellen zu supprimieren und die Expression von Immunrezeptoren wie HLA-DR, CD14 und CD91 zu modulieren. Somit konnten erstmals anti-inflammatorische Eigenschaften von Laktatestern nachgewiesen sowie eine Verbindung zwischen den Glyoxalase-Enzymen und dem Immunsystem etabliert werden. Diese und weitere Ergebnisse zur Einflussnahme der Karbonsäureester auf die Zellvitalität präsentieren das Glyoxalasesystem als mögliches Ziel neuer Therapiekonzepte für die Immunsuppression und bestätigen dessen Bedeutung für die Entwicklung von Anti-Tumor-Agenzien.

The Wonderful World of Dr. Seuss: A Group Interpretation Script for the Primary Classroom

Dodds, Karen Page Kalmbach 08 1900 (has links)
This thesis proposed the idea of oral interpretation of children's literature as a pedagogical tool in the primary classroom. A group interpretation script entitled "The Wonderful World of Dr. Seuss" was compiled for performance in the primary classroom as a viable vehicle for teaching children to understand and appreciate literature. The script was evaluated by qualified teachers in the areas of English, oral interpretation, and elementary education as well as a critical analysis by the author. The thesis concluded that oral communication is necessary in the primary grade and that group interpretation is an exciting way to enhance learning.

Projeto Maluco Beleza: a comunicação como dispositivo terapeutizante de (re)significação de sentido de vida, no contexto da reforma psiquiátrica / Maluco Beleza Project: communication as a therapeutic device of life resignification, inside the psychiatric remodeling.

Moreira, Reginaldo 08 June 2011 (has links)
Esta pesquisa apresenta um novo conceito de comunicação: a comunicação terapeutizante. O novo termo é fruto da investigação da aplicabilidade das tecnologias de comunicação em rádio vivenciadas pelos usuários da saúde mental, participantes do Projeto Maluco Beleza, localizado no Serviço de Saúde Dr. Cândido Ferreira, na cidade de Campinas, interior de São Paulo. A comunicação terapeutizante tem demonstrado ser uma importante ferramenta de (re)significação de sentido de vida para os portadores de sofrimento mental inseridos no projeto de comunicação do Ponto de Cultura Maluco Beleza. Após participarem do projeto, os usuários se capacitam para a comunicação, para expressarem suas ideias por meio do rádio. Esse processo os incentiva a retomarem as redes de conexão que estavam esquecidas, ou não acionadas, e restabelecerem novos meios de convívio social, dentro do contexto de Reforma Psiquiátrica pelo qual passa a instituição pesquisada. A pesquisa tem como objetivo a investigação da nova possibilidade de comunicação aplicada, como dispositivo aos cuidados da saúde mental alternativa e complementar. O recurso comunicacional, disponibilizado no Projeto Maluco Beleza, representa uma forma de ressarcimento do direito de expressão, que, por longos anos, foi negado aos portadores de sofrimento mental, confinados nos pátios dos manicômios e privados dos direitos fundamentais para a construção de uma vida minimamente digna. A comunicação empregada nos programas produzidos para a veiculação na Rádio Educativa de Campinas e na Rádio Maluco Beleza online, revela uma alternativa complementar à rede de cuidados aos usuários da saúde mental, com efeitos terapeutizantes na vida dos participantes, que, na maioria das vezes, retomam eixos norteadores de suas vidas, num processo de (re)significação de suas trajetórias. A pesquisa é legitimada pela narração do saber militante do pesquisador implicado nesse processo, por meio da utilização da metodologia cartográfica. A cartografia, aplicada na vida de uma das participantes do projeto, revelou a importância que a comunicação possui em sua história. Outros participantes do projeto, como usuários, funcionários e pessoas da comunidade, também colaboraram com depoimentos que corroboram para os efeitos terapeutizantes dessa nova aplicabilidade de comunicação, por meio da retomada do sentido e da (re)significação de vida, que se dá pela comunicação. / This research features a new communication concept: the therapeutic communication. This new term is a result of the investigation of the applicability of radio communication technologies experienced by mental health patients also called as users that are participants in the Maluco Beleza Project, located in the Dr. Cândido Ferreira Health Department, in Campinas, São Paulo. The therapeutic communication has proven to be an important tool for giving, once again, meaning of life to mental patients that are participants in the Ponto de Cultura Maluco Belezas communication project. After participating, the users are trained to communicate and express their ideas through radio broadcast. This process encourages them to resume the network connections that were forgotten, or not activated, and re-establish new ways of social interaction inside the context of psychiatric reform which institution is going through. The researchs goal is to investigate this new possibility of communication used as a device to an alternative and complementary mental health care. The communication resource, available at the Maluco Beleza Project, represents a way to compensate the lack freedom of speech that for many years was denied to mental patients, who were confined in mental hospitals courtyards and who had their fundamental rights to build a dignified life taken away. The communication used in the programs produced for broadcasting on Radio Educativa de Campinas (local radio station) and Maluco Beleza online (online radio station), reveals a complementary alternative to the mental user health cares network with therapeutic effects in participants\' lives, which in most cases, incorporate guiding principles for their lives, a process of giving them new meanings. The research is legitimized by the knowledge description given by the militant researcher involved in this process through the mapping methodology. The mapping, applied in one of the participants life showed the importance that communication has in his history. Other project participants, such as users, staff and people from the community, also cooperated with statements that support this new communications therapeutic effects applicability, through the resumption of giving meaning and new meanings of life, given by communication.

The Presence of Jacques Lacan's Mirror Stage and Gaze in Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and in Rouben Mamoulian's 1931 Film

Smith, Enoch Shane 29 April 2010 (has links)
For many years, theorists have turned to popular movies and books to help interpret the difficult principles of Jacques Lacan. However, one story that has gotten very little attention is Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and its derivative body of film adaptations. Both the novella and Rouben Mamoulian’s 1931 film are a small part of an intertextual body of work which contains scenes that play out the Lacanian principles of the mirror stage and the gaze very well. Since art imitates life, an in depth exploration of the way that these scenes play out can illuminate how Lacan’s abstract theories might look in the real life formation of identity and in male/female relations.
