Lysosomes are acidic, hydrolase-rich vesicles capable of degrading most biological macromolecules. During the past several decades, much has been learned about different aspects of lysosome biogenesis. The selective phosphorylation of mannose residues on lysosomal enzymes, in conjunction with specific receptors for the mannose-6-phosphate recognition marker, has been found to be largely responsible for the targeting of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes to lyzosomes. It is known that lysosomes receive input from both the endocytotic and biosynthetic pathways. Nevertheless the exact molecular mechanisms responsible for sorting of the biosynthetic imput involved in the lysosome biogenesis is still a matter of debate. Because osteoclast precursors do not secrete their lysosomal enzymes and osteoclasts do, the observation of modifications occuring during osteoclastogenesis is a good model to observe mechanisms responsible for lysosomal enzymes traffic. Osteoclasts are bone-degrading cells. To perform this specific task they have to reorganise the sorting of their lysosomal enzymes to be able to target them toward the bone surface in mature cells. Since few years, the differentiation of osteoclasts in vitro did help to study these cells. Osteoclast morphology has been therefore already well studied, and the nature of their specific membrane domains is now established. Sensing the proximity of a bone-like surface the cell reorganises its cytoskeleton, and creates specific membrane domains: an actin-rich ring-like zone (named actin ring) surrounded by highly ruffled membrane (named the ruffled border) where enzymes are secreted, while subsequent bone degradation products are endocytosed. Endocytosed material is then transported through the cell inside transcytotic vesicles and released at the top of the cell in an area named the functional secretory domain. Several molecular machineries are thought to control these different phenomena. The main purpose of this thesis was to identify the major regulators of lysosomal enzymes secretion and therefore to identify the molecular switches responsible for such a membrane traffic re-organisation.

Résumé : La maladie osseuse de Paget (MP) est un désordre squelettique caractérisé par une augmentation focale et désorganisée du remodelage osseux. Les ostéoclastes (OCs) de MP sont plus larges, actifs et nombreux, en plus d’être résistants à l’apoptose. Même si la cause précise de la MP demeure inconnue, des mutations du gène SQSTM1, codant pour la protéine p62, ont été décrites dans une proportion importante de patients avec MP. Parmi ces mutations, la substitution P392L est la plus fréquente, et la surexpression de p62P392L dans les OCs génère un phénotype pagétique partiel. La protéine p62 est impliquée dans de multiples processus, allant du contrôle de la signalisation NF-κB à l’autophagie. Dans les OCs humains, un complexe multiprotéique composé de p62 et des kinases PKCζ et PDK1 est formé en réponse à une stimulation par Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL), principale cytokine impliquée dans la formation et l'activation des OCs. Nous avons démontré que PKCζ est impliquée dans l’activation de NF-κB induite par RANKL dans les OCs, et dans son activation constitutive en présence de p62P392L. Nous avons également observé une augmentation de phosphorylation de Ser536 de p65 par PKCζ, qui est indépendante d’IκB et qui pourrait représenter une voie alternative d'activation de NF-κB en présence de la mutation de p62. Nous avons démontré que les niveaux de phosphorylation des régulateurs de survie ERK et Akt sont augmentés dans les OCs MP, et réduits suite à l'inhibition de PDK1. La phosphorylation des substrats de mTOR, 4EBP1 et la protéine régulatrice Raptor, a été évaluée, et une augmentation des deux a été observée dans les OCs pagétiques, et est régulée par l'inhibition de PDK1. Également, l'augmentation des niveaux de base de LC3II (associée aux structures autophagiques) observée dans les OCs pagétiques a été associée à un défaut de dégradation des autophagosomes, indépendante de la mutation p62P392L. Il existe aussi une réduction de sensibilité à l’induction de l'autophagie dépendante de PDK1. De plus, l’inhibition de PDK1 induit l’apoptose autant dans les OCs contrôles que pagétiques, et mène à une réduction significative de la résorption osseuse. La signalisation PDK1/Akt pourrait donc représenter un point de contrôle important dans l’activation des OCs pagétiques. Ces résultats démontrent l’importance de plusieurs kinases associées à p62 dans la sur-activation des OCs pagétiques, dont la signalisation converge vers une augmentation de leur survie et de leur fonction de résorption, et affecte également le processus autophagique. / Abstract : Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) is a skeletal disorder characterized by focal and disorganized increases in bone turnover. In PDB, osteoclasts are larger, more active, more numerous, and resistant to apoptotic stimuli. While no single root cause has been identified, mutations to the gene encoding the p62 protein, SQSTM1, have been described in a significant population of patients with PDB. Among these mutations, the P392L substitution is the most prevalent, and overexpression of p62P392L in osteoclasts generates at least a partial pagetic phenotype in vitro. Normally this protein mediates a number of cell functions, from control of NF-κB signaling to autophagy. In human osteoclasts, a multiprotein complex containing p62 and protein kinases PKCζ and PDK1 (the principal kinase of Akt), form in response to stimulation by receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), the principal osteoclastogenic-signaling cytokine. We found that PKCζ is involved in RANKL-induced activation of NF-κB, and that it contributed to a basal activation of NF-κB observed in p62P392L mutants. This may be regulated in part by a PKCζ dependent increase in p65 phosphorylation at Ser536 which we characterized, independent of IκB. This could represent one alternative pathway by which mutant p62 leads to increased NF-κB activation. We observed increased basal phosphorylation of survival regulators ERK and Akt in PDB that was reduced upon PDK1 inhibition. The activity of 4EBP1 and Raptor, associated with mTOR activity, were also altered in pagetic osteoclasts and regulated by PDK1 inhibition. We then identified autophagic defects common to pagetic osteoclasts; with higher basal levels of LC3II (associated with autophagic structures), regardless of p62 mutation, and reduced sensitivity to autophagy induction in PDB. These results suggest an accumulation of non-degradative autophagosomes. Inhibition of PDK1 not only induced apoptosis in PDB and controls, but significantly reduced resorption in PDB, and with regards to autophagy, PDK1 inhibition was more potent in PDB than in controls. Therefore PDK1/Akt signaling represents an important checkpoint to PDB osteoclast activation. In sum, these results demonstrate the importance of several p62-associated kinases in the over-activation of pagetic osteoclasts, through increased survival and altered signaling. As p62 mutations alone do not account for most cases of PDB, the characterization of these pathways may identify a common factor linking pagetic osteoclasts. Therefore these studies represent a novel approach to osteoclast apoptosis, activation, and autophagy associated with PDB.

A movimentação dentária ortodôntica ocorre através de dois processos, nos quais o osso alveolar é reabsorvido nas áreas de pressão, enquanto que novo osso é formado na área de tração. O processo de reabsorção óssea ocorre pela ação de células multinucleadas, os osteoclastos. Os bisfosfonatos constituem um grupo de fármacos com propriedade de inibir a reabsorção óssea, foi utilizado no presente estudo com a finalidade de interferir na remodelação óssea induzida ortodonticamente. Para isso, força contínua de 15 cN foi aplicada aos primeiros molares superiores de ratos machos Wistar de 2 1/2 meses, utilizando uma biomecânica com fios superelásticos. Os animais foram divididos aleatoriamente em 4 grupos: 1) O grupo controle constituído por dezoito ratos, os quais foram injetados solução salina por 7 dias antes da instalação da biomecânica passiva, que permaneceu por 3, 10 e 18 dias; 2) Dezoito animais foram tratados com ALN (dose 2,5 mg/Kg) por 7 dias antes da instalação da biomecânica passiva que permaneceu por 3, 10 e 18 dias; 3) Dezoito animais foram tratados com alendronato com a mesma dose citada acima por 7 dias antes da instalação da biomecânica ativa que permaneceu por 3, 10 e 18 dias; 4) Dezoito animais foram injetados com solução salina 7 dias antes da instalação da biomecânica ativa que permaneceu por 3, 10 e 18 dias. As maxilas foram fixadas com 4% de formaldeído + 0,1% de glutaraldeído, descalcificadas em EDTA a 4,13% e incluídas em parafina ou resina Spurr. Os cortes foram corados com HE para análise morfológica. Alguns cortes foram submetidos à imuno-histoquímica para detecção de RANKL e OPG. Foi utilizado o método TRAP, marcador de osteoclastos e microscopia eletrônica de transmissão para análise ultraestrutural. Alguns espécimes tiveram a cortical óssea vestibular do primeiro molar superior congelada em nitrogênio líquido para análise da expressão de RANKL por Western Blotting. O ALN inibiu a reabsorção óssea e radicular de todos os grupos tratados. As células clásticas apresentaram-se em estado latente. No grupo da movimentação ortodôntica o osso alveolar foi remodelado e com 18 dias a superfície radicular apresentou-se reabsorvida e o TRAP revelou clastos ativos, achados confirmados pela microscopia eletrônica de transmissão. A expressão de RANKL, molécula ativadora de células clásticas, nao foi inibida pela droga. A expressão de OPG foi aumentada nos animais tratados. Os resultados demonstram que o uso de alendronato sódico na movimentação ortodôntica não interfere no recrutamento dos osteoclasto, ele aparentemente inibe sua ativação, o que pode interferir no processo de remodelação óssea e talvez diminua a quantidade de movimentação dentária. / Orthodontic tooth movement occurs through two processes in which the alveolar bone is resorbed in the pressure areas, whereas new bone is formed in the tension area. The bone resorption occurs by multinucleated cell, the osteoclasts. The bisphosphonates are drugs with capability to inhibit clastic activity were used in the present study in order to interfere with the bone remodeling induced orthodontic. For this continuous force of 15 cN was applied to the first molars of Wistar male rats of 2 1/2 months, using a biomechanical with superelastic wire. The animals were randomly divided into 4 groups: 1) The control group consisted of eighteen mice, which received sterile saline solution saline for 7 days prior to installation of passive biomechanics, which remained for 3, 10 and 18 days; 2) Eighteen animals were treated with ALN (dose 2.5 mg / kg) for 7 days prior to installation of the passive biomechanical to remain for 3, 10 and 18 days; 3) Eighteen animals were treated with alendronate with the same dose quoted above for 7 days prior to the biomechanical installation that remains active for 3, 10 and 18 days; 4) Eighteen animals were injected with sterile saline solution 7 days prior to the biomechanical installation that remains active for 3, 10 and 18 days. The maxillae were fixed with 4% formaldehyde + 0.1% glutaraldehyde, decalcified in EDTA 4.13% and embedded in paraffin or Spurr resin. The specimens were morphologically analyzed in HE stained sections. Some stained sections were used for immunolabeling for RANKL and OPG. The osteoclasts were marked by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) histochemistry. The ultrathin sections were examined in a trasnmission electron micrsocpe. Some specimens were frozen in liquid nitrogen for protein extraction and Western Blotting protein expression analyzes. The ALN inhibited bone resorption and root of all the treated groups. The clastic cells present in a latent state. In the orthodontic movement group alveolar bone was remodeled with 18 days to root surface presented itself reabsorbed and the TRAP revealed clasts assets, findings confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Expression of RANKL activating molecule clastic cells was not inhibited by the drug. The OPG expression was increased in treated animals. The results demonstrate that the use of alendronate in the orthodontic movement does not interfere with osteoclast recruitment, it apparently inhibits their activation, which can interfere in the bone remodeling process and may reduce the amount of tooth movement.

Na ossificação endocondral, osteoclastos (Oc) reabsorvem os remanescentes de cartilagem, e osteoblastos (Ob) depositam matriz óssea. Bisfosfonatos (Bps) inibem a ação dos Oc. Foi avaliado o efeito dos Bps alendronato (Aln) e etidronato (Etn) em joelhos de ratos jovens (in vivo) e na cultura primária de Oc (in vitro). O material in vivo foi analisado por MEV, MET e ML (morfologia e histoquímica para TRAP). RNA foi extraído para análise por RT-PRC e proteínas para análise por WB, que também foram extraídos após o tratamento da cultura com Bps. O tratamento com Etn revelou lâmina epifiseal desorganizada com extensa área de cartilagem; a MEV mostrou pouco osso trabecular com lacunas de reabsorção, que não foram observadas com Aln. O Aln revelou numerosos Oc TRAP-positivos latentes, confirmados por MET. In vivo os Bps diminuem a expressão dos genes analisados; In vitro o Aln diminui somente a expressão de Runx2, menos expresso com Etn, assim como Spp1. A expressão proteica variou entre os grupos. Aln é o mais potente em inibir os Oc enquanto o Etn atua sobre os Ob. / In endochondral ossification, clastic cells (Oc) resorb the calcified cartilage, while osteoblasts (Ob) form new bone. Bisphosphonates (Bps) inhibit the action of Oc. The effect of the Bps alendronate (Aln) and etidronate (Etn) on the knees of young rats (in vivo) and in primary cultures of Oc (in vitro) was evaluated. The specimens were analyzed by SEM, TEM, and LM or TRAP histochemistry. RNA was extracted to analysis by RT-PRC and protein to analysis by WB. RNA and protein were also extracted after the treatment of cultures with Bps. Rats treated with Etn exhibited a disorganized epiphyseal plate containing large area of cartilage; SEM showed few bone trabeculae with resorption lacunae, which were not observed in Aln specimens. Aln showed numerous latent Oc by TRAP histochemistry and TEM. In vivo, the Bps decreased the expression of all analyzed genes; in vitro, Aln decreased only the expression of Runx2 as well as SPP1, which expression was less with Etn. Protein expression varied among the groups. Aln is more potent for inhibiting the Oc, while Etn acts on Ob.

Os bisfosfonatos são drogas capazes de inibir a reabsorção óssea por meio de seu efeito direto sobre as células ósseas, interferindo na dinâmica dos tecidos mineralizados. O alendronato (ALN), um tipo de bisfosfonato nitrogenado, foi utilizado com o objetivo de investigar os seus efeitos sobre os tecidos dentários e periodontais após luxação lateral de molares com as raízes em desenvolvimento. Ratos Wistar com 21 dias de idade tiveram os segundos molares superiores luxados lateralmente. Doses diárias de 2,5 mg / kg de ALN começaram no dia seguinte à luxação; os controles receberam solução salina estéril. As maxilas foram fixadas, descalcificadas e incluídas em parafina ou em resina Spurr 7, 14 e 21 dias pós-luxação. Os cortes foram corados com H & E, incubados por histoquímica TRAP e imuno marcados para osteopontina (OPN), bem como para análise ultraestrutural. Após 21 dias, o ápice dos molares luxados sem ALN estava aberto e desorganizado, coberto por uma camada irregular de cemento celular. Os molares luxados dos animais tratados com ALN apresentaram alguns locais de anquilose, bem como lacunas de reabsorção na superfície do cemento. Os osteoclastos TRAP positivos foram mais numerosos no grupo ALN, apesar de sua aparência latente e sua localização, afastados das trabéculas ósseas, em relação aos controles, achado que foi confirmado com a análise ultraestrutural. A imunomarcação de OPN revelou uma linha grossa imunopositiva na dentina, que deve ter surgido a partir do momento da luxação, enquanto que as amostras tratadas com ALN não apresentaram alterações na dentina. Os resultados indicam que o alendronato inibe algumas alterações na dentina e na formação do cemento, induzidas pelo trauma dental de luxação. / Bisphosphonates are drugs that inhibit bone resorption through its direct effect on bone cells, interfering with the dynamics of mineralized tissues. Alendronate (ALN), a nitrogenated bisphosphonate, was used in order to investigate their effects on dental and periodontal tissues after lateral dislocation of molars with developing roots. Twenty one days old Wistar rats had their second molars laterally l. Daily doses of 2.5 mg / kg ALN started the day following the dislocation, while controls received saline solution. The maxillae were fixed, decalcified and embedded in paraffin or in Spurr resin after 7, 14 and 21 days post-dislocation. The sections were stained with H & E, incubated for TRAP, immunolabeled for osteopontin (OPN), and ultrastructurally analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. After 21 days, the apex of the luxated molar without ALN was open and disorganized, covered by an irregular layer of cellular cementum. The luxated molar from ALN-treated animals showed some areas of ankylosis and resorption lacunae on the cementum surface. TRAP-positive osteoclasts were more numerous in the ALN group, despite their latent appearance compared to controls, a finding that was ultrastructurally confirmed. OPN immunostaining revealed a thick immunopositive line in dentin, which must be resultant from the moment of dislocation, while the samples treated with ALN showed no changes in dentin. The results indicate that alendronate inhibits some changes in dentin and cementum formation induced by dental trauma of lateral luxation.
