Un grand merci à Olivier. Merci d’avoir accepté que je vienne travailler avec toi pour mon stage. Merci de m’avoir fait confiance et d’avoir su me faire participer activement aux discussions depuis le début. Pourtant mon début n’a pas été « brillant » avec les barrières de la langue, tu as toujours été patient et tu as cru en moi. Merci d’avoir été à l’écoute des mes idées, de mes critiques et des problématiques du travail en me laissant beaucoup de liberté. Merci surtout pour la discussion scientifique constante qu’on a pu avoir pendant ma thèse, ça m’a vraiment beaucoup apporté et je pense que c’est extrêmement formateur. Ça a été une « bonne guerre » de discuter chacun avec ses idées et son point de vue et j’ai trouvé très fructueux et stimulant le fait de ne pas être forcément d’accord. Merci aussi de m’avoir remotivé dans mes moments de pessimisme et de m’avoir calmé dans mes moments d’énervement facile. Merci aussi de m’avoir permis de participer à plusieurs projets du laboratoire. Merci au Pr. Gilles Favre de m’avoir accueilli dans votre équipe. Merci aussi pour m’avoir permis de partir en congrès au Canada, cela a été pour moi une très belle expérience personnellement et scientifiquement, cela m’a permis de voir « la science » au delà de l’océan et de mettre les visages à beaucoup de noms que j’ai lu quotidiennement sur PubMed. J’ai eu beaucoup de chance de pouvoir faire cette expérience. Merci à Giovanni pour m’avoir donné envie en premier de travailler sur les dommages à l’ADN et pour avoir accepté de m’encadrer lors de mon stage de M2R.

    Large XPF-Dependent Deletions Following Misrepair of a DNA Double Strand Break Are Prevented by the RNA:DNA Helicase Senataxin

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Large XPF-dependent deletions following misrepair of a DNA double strand break are prevented Received: 26 October 2017 Accepted: 9 February 2018 by the RNA:DNA helicase Published: xx xx xxxx Senataxin Julien Brustel1, Zuzanna Kozik1, Natalia Gromak2, Velibor Savic3,4 & Steve M. M. Sweet1,5 Deletions and chromosome re-arrangements are common features of cancer cells. We have established a new two-component system reporting on epigenetic silencing or deletion of an actively transcribed gene adjacent to a double-strand break (DSB). Unexpectedly, we fnd that a targeted DSB results in a minority (<10%) misrepair event of kilobase deletions encompassing the DSB site and transcribed gene. Deletions are reduced upon RNaseH1 over-expression and increased after knockdown of the DNA:RNA helicase Senataxin, implicating a role for DNA:RNA hybrids. We further demonstrate that the majority of these large deletions are dependent on the 3′ fap endonuclease XPF. DNA:RNA hybrids were detected by DNA:RNA immunoprecipitation in our system after DSB generation. These hybrids were reduced by RNaseH1 over-expression and increased by Senataxin knock-down, consistent with a role in deletions. Overall, these data are consistent with DNA:RNA hybrid generation at the site of a DSB, mis-processing of which results in genome instability in the form of large deletions. DNA is the target of numerous genotoxic attacks that result in diferent types of damage. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur at low frequency, compared with single-strand breaks and other forms of DNA damage1, however DSBs pose the risk of translocations and deletions and their repair is therefore essential to cell integrity.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

The occurrence, development, and metastasis of tumors are closely related to the cell cycle. Cell cycle regulation can be synergistic with chemotherapy in two aspects: inhibition or promotion. The sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs can be improved with the cooperation of cell cycle regulation strategies. This review presented the mechanism of the commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs and the effect of the cell cycle on tumorigenesis and development, and the interaction between chemotherapy and cell cycle regulation in cancer treatment was briefly introduced. The current collaborative strategies of chemotherapy and cell cycle regulation are discussed in detail. Finally, we outline the challenges and perspectives about the improvement of combination strategies for cancer therapy.

Although many correlations have been described, specific mechanistic links between these changes and glucose homeostasis remain to be defined. Here we show that blood and intestinal levels of the microbiota-produced N-formyl peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), are elevated in high fat diet (HFD)- induced obese mice. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the N-formyl peptide receptor Fpr1 leads to increased insulin levels and improved glucose tolerance, dependent upon glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Obese Fpr1-knockout (Fpr1-KO) mice also display an altered microbiome, exemplifying the dynamic relationship between host metabolism and microbiota.

New therapeutic agents are urgently needed to replace existing drugs for which resistance is a significant problem. DNA topoisomerases are well-validated targets for antimicrobial and anticancer chemotherapies. Although bacterial topoisomerase I has yet to be exploited as a target for clinical antibiotics, DNA gyrase has been extensively targeted, including the highly clinically successful fluoroquinolones, which have been utilized in TB therapy. Here, we review the exploitation of topoisomerases as antibacterial targets and summarize progress in developing new agents to target DNA topoisomerase I and DNA gyrase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Background: Topoisomerase (DNA) II alpha (TOP2A) is the up-regulated gene of the chromosome aggregation pathway. This gene encodes DNA topoisomerase, which can control and change the topological state of DNA during transcription and replication, participate in chromosome agglutination, separation, and relieve stress from kinking. Abnormally high expression of TOP2A is often associated with active cell proliferation. In studies of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and adrenal cancer, it was found that high expression of TOP2A suggested a poor prognosis. Methods: A total of 15 pairs of fresh hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens and adjacent tissues were assembled, and the difference of TOP2A mRNA and protein expression level between tumor and adjacent tissues was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis, respectively.

  • Ribonuclease H1-Dependent Hepatotoxicity Caused by Locked

    Ribonuclease H1-Dependent Hepatotoxicity Caused by Locked

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ribonuclease H1-dependent hepatotoxicity caused by locked nucleic acid-modified gapmer Received: 29 March 2016 Accepted: 30 June 2016 antisense oligonucleotides Published: 27 July 2016 Takeshi Kasuya1, Shin-ichiro Hori1, Ayahisa Watanabe2, Mado Nakajima1, Yoshinari Gahara1, Masatomo Rokushima1, Toru Yanagimoto1,* & Akira Kugimiya1,* Gapmer antisense oligonucleotides cleave target RNA effectivelyin vivo, and is considered as promising therapeutics. Especially, gapmers modified with locked nucleic acid (LNA) shows potent knockdown activity; however, they also cause hepatotoxic side effects. For developing safe and effective gapmer drugs, a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of hepatotoxicity is required. Here, we investigated the cause of hepatotoxicity derived from LNA-modified gapmers. Chemical modification of gapmer’s gap region completely suppressed both knockdown activity and hepatotoxicity, indicating that the root cause of hepatotoxicity is related to intracellular gapmer activity. Gene silencing of hepatic ribonuclease H1 (RNaseH1), which catalyses gapmer-mediated RNA knockdown, strongly supressed hepatotoxic effects. Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of a target mRNA did not result in any hepatotoxic effects, while the gapmer targeting the same position on mRNA as does the siRNA showed acute toxicity. Microarray analysis revealed that several pre-mRNAs containing a sequence similar to the gapmer target were also knocked down. These results suggest that hepatotoxicity of LNA gapmer is caused by RNAseH1 activity, presumably because of off-target cleavage of RNAs inside nuclei. The 5′ and 3′ end-modified antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), gapmer, is promising therapeutic agent which can modulate target RNA expression1,2. Various types of chemical modification of ASOs have been examined to enhance nuclease resistance, to improve stability of ASO–RNA hybrids, and to increase RNA-manipulating effects.
