L'acide ascorbic acid (AA) a été considéré, pendant longtempss, comme une molecule devantêtre absorbée dans la nutrition, et prévenant le scorbut. Notre hypothèse, fondé sur desrésulats de notre groupe, suggèrent de nouvelles fonctions.Parmi celles-ci, nous nous sommes posé la question de l'AA molècule de signalling, durantl'embryogenèse et chez l'adulte, commme l'acide rétinoique (principe actif de la vitamine A)l'est. A cet effet, nous avons utilisé deux modèles cellulaires : des cellules souchesembryonnaires murines et des lignées de cellules souches/progénétrices adultes. Nous avonsainsi montré que l'AA stimule la différentiation de ces cellules en cellules musculairessquelettiques et en osteoblastes et inhibe l'adipogenèse et la neurogenèse. Cet effet passe parle transporteur de l'AA SVCT2 et implique la voie p38/MAPK. D'autre part, nous avonsdemontré que l'AA agit en compétition avec le RA, sur la neurogenèse et la myogenèse.Enfin, dans des cellules mésenchymateuses adultes, nous avons montré que l'AA inhibel'adipogenèse et stimule l'ostéogenèse. Cette action, comme chez l'embryon implique SVCT2et une modulation du pool du cAMP.En conclusion, l'AA pousse les cellules à se différencier en cellule musculaire squelettique eten ostéoblste et inhibie l'adipogenèse et la neurogenèse. / AA has been considered for a long time as a molecule involved in nutrition, to prevent scurvy. Our hypothesis is that AA could also be involved in development during embryogenesis, as well as in cell differentiation in adults. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential implication of AA in cell differentiation, especially of mesenchyme cells, and to propose potential pathways that could be involved in these processes. Using murine ESCs we observed that AA markedly enhance the differentiation of ESCs toward muscle cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that induction of myocytes by AA involves p38MAPK pathway and p-CREB. Moreover, we demonstrated that AA acts in mirror with retinoic acid. ESCs treated with RA mainly differentiate into neuronal cells, but AA compete, in a dosage dependent way to this differentiation. AA induces differentiation of ESCs into cardiac myocytes and could probably acts through p38MAPK pathway. Regarding adipocyte we revealed that SVCT2 expression significantly decreased as preadipocytes cells differentiate to adipocytes. This data suggests that mature adipocytes could not receive signals from AA. In addition, our results show that the expression of SVCT2 is increased in cells treated with AA and without IBMX. Moreover, we demonstrated that AA evolves in decreasing of cells containing lipids. Finally, we demonstrated that AA is not only involved in muscle differentiation of mesenchyme but is also involved in adipose tissue as a negative inducer. In conclusion, AA drives differentiation of ESCs toward muscle cells and osteoblast, incompetition with RA, and has a negative effect on adipogenesis and neurogenesis differentiation.
