Karim Benihoud Président du jury Dr. Soazig Le lay Rapporteur Dr. Edgar Gomes Rapporteur Dr. Julie Dam Examinateur Dr. Stéphane Vassilopoulos Examinateur Dr. Christophe Lamaze Directeur de thèse ! ! ! ! ! ! ! « Et voilà, on a les droits ! » François Pignon Acknowledgements The last four years were probably the most challenging but also the most exciting of my life, and it is time for me to thank many people who were involved, in so many different ways, in this adventure. I will take this opportunity to address my first words to my supervisor. Christophe, thank you so much for trusting me with this project, which was not always easy, but you were always very optimistic and in the end, I believe we made it work! You have always been very supportive concerning the choices I made for my project, but also concerning my “extra- research” projects, which I particularly appreciated. At the personal level, you are a man of all the extremes, extremely scandalous, but also extremely interesting and funny! You are a “personnage haut en couleurs” as we would say in French, and I am very happy Graça put me on your way. I would like now to mention the other person “qui tire les ficelles”. Cédric, I am so grateful that you are such a nice and patient person! I think we can say that we have different standards of organization, clumsiness and the list could go on for a while, but it worked anyway! It probably has to do with the fact that we also share many different interests, food being the most important one, but we cannot exclude that science was also part of the game… You have been a great teacher and thanks to you, I have now quite a list of skills, both useful for the experiments and for trying to do nice illustrations, that I can brag about to a very limited amount of people, but still…Finally, thank you for all the time you invested in making sure my manuscript would be as perfect as possible while you were preparing yourself for the famous concours. I would also like to thank Ludger who would always bring precious feedbacks whenever I would be on stage during our weekly labmeetings. I am also very grateful for your trust with the organization of the unit retreat and different team building events, I enjoyed it a lot! I would like now to warmly thank Dr Soazig Le lay and Dr Edgar Gomes for the time they dedicated to review my manuscript and the nice and pertinent feedback they gave me. I would also like to address a few words to Dr Stéphane Vassilopoulos who I have met a few years ago and who I always enjoyed having animated scientific discussions with. I am thus very happy that he accepted to evaluate my work. I would also like to thank Pr Karim Benihoud who was my PhD tutor and will preside over my thesis jury, and Dr Julie Dam for kindly accepting my invitation. This work wouldn’t have been possible without our collaborators from the Institut de myologie. In addition to Stéphane that I mentioned before, I would like to thank Gillian Butler-Browne for the scientific discussion and support on this project, Anne Bigot who generated all the muscle cell lines we used for our work and who has always been available for advices. Finally, I thank Catherine Coirault who trained and advised me on the use of the Flexcell device, and who also was one of my thesis tutors. Part of the work has also been done through collaborations within our unit. Valérie and Christine, thank you for the precious time you dedicated to reveal the dirty secrets of my cells, our paper looks much more fancy now thanks to you! To me, a good thesis requires a good scientific and human environment, and regarding this, I have been very lucky. The Lamaze and Johannes teams are a melting pot of people, each of them with its own little hint of craziness, and I will definitely remember having a great time and laughing a lot! First, Nicolas, who actually asked me to mention him first, has been my perfect sidekick during this thesis. Although I have never been supportive of his sense of humor, I really hope I have actually been as supportive for everything else as he has been with me during these last four years. PhD sidekicks actually come in different flavors: Carlos, thank you for being you, so annoying and so great at the same time! And Thomas, thank you for always being present whenever I need to tell a story, complain, or just drink a coffee on the terrace, no matter the weather… For great discussions, scientific or others, I could also always count on Cédric, Christine, Estelle, Valérie or Massi! I will always remember Cédric’s enthusiasm for the construction of a new stretcher device with a 3D printer or for the discovery of the saucisson paradise, our games of “which emoji movie am I?”, the long series of quotes from Le diner de con, and we should not forget about our 80’s aerobic moments with Christine, our endless talks on life with Valérie, our mutual teasing with Estelle and our daily rendez-vous with Massi at his bench to do a summary of our day. I will of course remember all of our big laughs, sushi a volonté parties, and many coffee breaks and lunches that are perfect times to talk about anything that crosses our minds. More recently, we got to see many new faces arriving, which fortunately allowed me to expand the number of great people I met during my time in the lab. Satish with his wisdom and his great repartee that makes me laugh so much, Manon la force tranquille with her calm and patience, although as we say in French “il faut se méfier de l’eau qui dort” and our very own tornado Alison who, together with Ewan, brought us a very nice British (and neapolitan) ambiance to our daily life. This is without forgetting about past members of the lab who left us with nice memories. Ma ptite Steph, who has always been a great support and who I shared so much with. Natacha, Weiwei, Henri, Daniela, whose names we can still come across when using old pipetboys or tube racks, as if they never left. I would also like to thank all of the members of the Lamaze and Johannes team, as scientific and non-scientific support was something I could find very easily between the walls that we share. Beyond these walls, I got to meet many other different people, who for some of them became very good friends. Fortunately, I started this adventure in Curie with Léa, with the two other members of the bras cassés, Arthur and Maxence who were never too far away from us. Since university, we were always there to support each other through every single step of the process and I am so happy we got to share all of this together! Léa and Arthur were leading the dance, showing us the way on the road of excellency, while Mikou would always be there to share with us his latest discovery while drinking and spilling beer everywhere. Léa, knowing that your were there, just 5 floors away, made everything easier for me and as we were both trying to make our way into the life of the institute by attending a young scientist retreat, we got to meet the people who would become our good friends. Suddenly, it made me feel like I was going back to school again and I would get to see my friends every day. Camilla is this very calm, precise, and loving person that anyone should have in his life. Luckily for me, since then, she never left me and I am so grateful that she allowed me to integrate her fully in my professional and especially personal life, as I would be completely lost if she ever decided to leave it. She is the definition of a good friend and I am so glad I can count on her for anything. Imène is in the category of person that might seem a little bit inaccessible at first, but it is so worth it to scratch the surface a little, and I am already missing so much our long brainstormings about life and science.

VLDL is synthesized in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transported to Golgi apparatus for secretion into plasma. However, the underlying molecular mechanism for VLDL transport is still poor- ly understood. Here we show that hepatocyte-specific deletion of meningioma-expressed antigen 6 (Mea6)/cutaneous T cell lymphoma-associated antigen 5C (cTAGE5C) leads to severe fatty liver and hypolipemia in mice. Quantitative lip- idomic and proteomic analyses indicate that Mea6/cTAGE5 deletion impairs the secretion of different types of lipids and proteins, including VLDL, from the liver.

  • Abl Family Tyrosine Kinases Govern Igg Extravasation in the Skin in a Murine Pemphigus Model

Here we show in a murine model of pemphigus, a prototypic cutaneous autoantibody-mediated disorder, that blood- circulating IgG extravasates into the skin in a time- and dose-dependent manner under homeostatic conditions. This IgG extravasation is unaffected by depletion of Fcγ receptors, but is largely attenuated by specific ablation of dynamin-dependent endocytic vesicle for- mation in blood endothelial cells (BECs). Among dynamin-dependent endocytic vesicles, IgG co-localizes well with caveolae in cultured BECs. An Abl family tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib, which reduces caveolae-mediated endocytosis, impairs IgG extravasation in the skin and attenuates the murine pemphigus manifestations. Our study highlights the kinetics of IgG extravasation in vivo, which might be a clue to understand the pathological mechanism of autoantibody-mediated autoimmune disorders. 1 Department of Dermatology, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan. 2 Department of Dermatology, Keio University Graduate School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan. 3 Research Unit/Immunology & Inflammation, Sohyaku, Innovative Research Division, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Yokohama, Japan. 4 Department of Anatomy, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.

  • Functions of Vertebrate Ferlins
    cells Review Functions of Vertebrate Ferlins Anna V. Bulankina 1 and Sven Thoms 2,* 1 Department of Internal Medicine 1, Goethe University Hospital Frankfurt, 60590 Frankfurt, Germany; [email protected] 2 Department of Child and Adolescent Health, University Medical Center Göttingen, 37075 Göttingen, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 January 2020; Accepted: 20 February 2020; Published: 25 February 2020 Abstract: Ferlins are multiple-C2-domain proteins involved in Ca2+-triggered membrane dynamics within the secretory, endocytic and lysosomal pathways. In bony vertebrates there are six ferlin genes encoding, in humans, dysferlin, otoferlin, myoferlin, Fer1L5 and 6 and the long noncoding RNA Fer1L4. Mutations in DYSF (dysferlin) can cause a range of muscle diseases with various clinical manifestations collectively known as dysferlinopathies, including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi myopathy. A mutation in MYOF (myoferlin) was linked to a muscular dystrophy accompanied by cardiomyopathy. Mutations in OTOF (otoferlin) can be the cause of nonsyndromic deafness DFNB9. Dysregulated expression of any human ferlin may be associated with development of cancer. This review provides a detailed description of functions of the vertebrate ferlins with a focus on muscle ferlins and discusses the mechanisms leading to disease development. Keywords: dysferlin; myoferlin; otoferlin; C2 domain; calcium-sensor; muscular dystrophy; dysferlinopathy; limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B), membrane repair; T-tubule system; DFNB9 1. Introduction Ferlins belong to the superfamily of proteins with multiple C2 domains (MC2D) that share common functions in tethering membrane-bound organelles or recruiting proteins to cellular membranes. Ferlins are described as calcium ions (Ca2+)-sensors for vesicular trafficking capable of sculpturing membranes [1–3].

Although their biological importance is undisputed, the level of mesenchymal cell heterogeneity within and between organs, while appreciated, has not been analyzed in detail. Here, we compare single-cell transcriptional profiles of fibroblasts and vascular mural cells across four murine muscular organs: heart, skeletal muscle, intestine and bladder. We reveal gene expression signatures that demarcate fibroblasts from mural cells and provide molecular signatures for cell subtype identification. We observe striking inter- and intra-organ heterogeneity amongst the fibroblasts, primarily reflecting differences in the expression of extracellular matrix components. Fibroblast subtypes localize to discrete anatomical positions offering novel predictions about physiological function(s) and regulatory signaling circuits. Our data shed new light on the diversity of poorly defined classes of cells and provide a foundation for improved understanding of their roles in physiological and pathological processes. 1 Karolinska Institutet/AstraZeneca Integrated Cardio Metabolic Centre, Blickagången 6, SE-14157 Huddinge, Sweden.

Stanford and Mondira Kundu * 1 Department of Pathology, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN 38105, USA; [email protected] (B.W.); [email protected] (K.R.S.) 2 Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN 38105, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-901-595-6048 Present address: School of Life Sciences, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361102, China. y Received: 21 November 2019; Accepted: 7 February 2020; Published: 11 February 2020 Abstract: Membrane and secretory proteins are essential for almost every aspect of cellular function. These proteins are incorporated into ER-derived carriers and transported to the Golgi before being sorted for delivery to their final destination. Although ER-to-Golgi trafficking is highly conserved among eukaryotes, several layers of complexity have been added to meet the increased demands of complex cell types in metazoans. The specialized morphology of neurons and the necessity for precise spatiotemporal control over membrane and secretory protein localization and function make them particularly vulnerable to defects in trafficking. This review summarizes the general mechanisms involved in ER-to-Golgi trafficking and highlights mutations in genes affecting this process, which are associated with neurological diseases in humans. Keywords: COPII trafficking; endoplasmic reticulum; Golgi apparatus; neurological disease 1. Overview Approximately one-third of all proteins encoded by the mammalian genome are exported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they are sorted for delivery to their final destination in membrane compartments or secretory vesicles [1].
