Propriétés anti-inflammatoires des lipides cationiques : rôle des phospholipides

Lonez, Caroline E M G 01 March 2007 (has links)
Les lipides cationiques sont des molécules amphiphiles chargées positivement et couramment utilisées comme vecteur de transfection tant in vitro qu'in vivo avec une bonne efficacité. Cependant, la transfection in vivo par voie intraveineuse à l'aide de complexes lipides cationiques/ADN (lipoplexes) induit une réponse inflammatoire, attribuée à la présence de séquences CpG dans les plasmides transportés, et qui limite l'efficacité de transfection des complexes. Il a été montré dans notre laboratoire que la pré-injection de liposomes de diC14-amidine, un lipide cationique mis au point dans notre laboratoire, avant l'injection des lipoplexes diC14-amidine/ADN permettait d'augmenter l'efficacité de transfection tout en diminuant la production de TNF-¦Á dans le sérum [Elouahabi et al., 2003b]. Ce résultat suggérait une nouvelle propriété anti-inflammatoire de la diC14-amidine dans le cas d'une inflammation causée par les lipoplexes de diC14-amidine/ADN. Dans le présent travail, nous d¨¦montrons que les macrophages de la rate sont les principales cellules productrices de TNF-¦Á suite à l'injection intraveineuse des lipoplexes à des souris. Ces mêmes cellules sont également la principale cible des liposomes de diC14-amidine après injection intraveineuse. Nous avons dès lors centré notre étude sur ce type cellulaire, en utilisant une lignée établie de macrophages murins. Nos résultats ont permis de confirmer la capacité des liposomes de diC14-amidine à inhiber la sécrétion des cytokines pro-inflammatoires induites par des séquences CpG, des lipopolysaccharides ou des poly(I :C). Fait intéressant, la présence de sérum est indispensable à la propriété anti-inflammatoire des liposomes de diC14-amidine. Par fractionnement successifs des composants du sérum, nous avons pu montrer que seuls les phospholipides des lipoprotéines pouvaient conférer cette propriété aux liposomes de diC14-amidine.

Electron spectroscopic characterization of corrosion reactions of active metal systems.

Maschhoff, Brian Lee January 1988 (has links)
The corrosion chemistry of two active-metal systems has been studied primarily with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. First, the interaction of metallic lithium thin films with simple glass surfaces was investigated. Li was deposited on SiO₂, sodium silicate, potassium silicate, and B₂O₃ glasses in an ultra-high vacuum deposition and analysis chamber. The reaction of Li with SiO₂ results in substantial reduction of the glass matrix to form a thin product layer. A negatively-charged Si species was identified based on an unusually low XPS Si(2p) binding energy. The interaction of Li with alkali silicate glasses resulted in substantially less matrix breakdown than for SiO₂, but exchange of lithium for either sodium or potassium cations occurred at the Li/glass interface. The reaction between Li and B₂O₃ was limited to the top layers of the glass, as a passivating layer formed at the Li/B₂O₃ interface. Investigations into the oxidation of polycrystalline iron surfaces were initiated. Clean surfaces were exposed to controlled amounts of pure oxygen gas. The resulting oxide composition and thickness was determined using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and XPS. The results indicated the formation of a bilayer structure, with FeO near the oxide-metal interface, and Fe₃O₄ at the outer surface. Film growth was approximately logarithmic with time, and was strongly pressure dependent. Studies of the electronic properties of the characterized iron oxide surfaces were conducted by measuring the rate of electron transfer between the surface and redox-active species in an electrochemical cell. A strong dependence on film thickness was indicated. Photoemission of electrons from a solid is an inherently complex process; this is especially the case for XPS of clean and oxide-covered active metals. Improved theoretical models of XPS lineshapes were developed which provided new insight into the physical processes involved in photoemission. Additionally, these models provided improved qualitative and quantitative data interpretation through the use of least-squares fitting techniques.
