Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sensitive eyes are commonly reported by patients but there are very few epidemiological studies on this disorder. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the self-reported frequency of sensitive eyes and the association with sensitive skin. METHODS A survey was performed on a representative sample of the population aged more than 18 years in five different countries (Brazil, China, France, Russia, and the United States). All participants answered a questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics; skin phototype; eye color; tobacco consumption; exposure to sunlight, air pollution or having pets; and sleep disorders. The presence of sensitive eyes, eyelids or skin and their triggering factors were assessed with specific questions. RESULTS A total of 10,743 individuals (5285 men and 5458 women) were included in the study. Among them, 48.2% reported having sensitive skin and 46.0% reported having "sensitive eyes". "Sensitive eyes" were more frequently reported by women (46.5%) than men (39.4%) in all countries, with the exception of China. The presence of "sensitive eyes" was more frequent if skin was very sensitive. More than half of subjects with "sensitive eyes" declared that their triggering factors were exposure to sunlight, dust, touch pad screens or computer screens or dry air. They were more exposed to pollution and tobacco. Their phototype (including eye color) was lighter. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION This large study shows that self-declared "sensitive eyes" are very frequent and commonly associated with sensitive skin. Triggering factors of sensitive eyes are more specific.

Abstract
Working on catecholamine systems for years, the neuropharmacologist Arvid Carlsson has made a number of important and pioneering discoveries, which have highlighted the key role of these neuronal and peripheral neurotransmitters in brain functions and adrenal regulations. Since then, major advances have been made concerning the distribution of the catecholaminergic systems in particular by studying their rate-limiting enzyme, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). Recently new methods of tissue transparency coupled with in toto immununostaining and three-dimensional (3D) imaging technologies allow to precisely map TH immunoreactive pathways in the mouse brain and adrenal glands. High magnification images and movies obtained with combined technologies (iDISCO+ and light-sheet microscopy) are presented in this review dedicated to the pioneer work of Arvid Carlsson and his collaborators.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world. The major risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) leading to progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death from the optic nerve (ON) to visual pathways in the brain. Glaucoma has been reported to share mechanisms with neurodegenerative disorders. We therefore hypothesize that neuroinflammatory mechanisms in central visual pathways may contribute to the spread of glaucoma disease. The aim of the present study was to analyze the neuroinflammation processes that occur from the pathological retina to the superior colliculi (SCs) in a rat model of unilateral ocular hypertension induced by episcleral vein cauterization (EVC). RESULTS Six weeks after unilateral (right eye) EVC in male Long-Evans rats, we evaluated both the neurodegenerative process and the neuroinflammatory state in visual pathway tissues. RGCs immunolabeled (Brn3a(+)) in ipsilateral whole flat-mounted retina demonstrated peripheral RGC loss associated with tissue macrophage/microglia activation (CD68(+)). Gene expression analysis of hypertensive and normotensive retinas revealed a significant increase of pro-inflammatory genes such as CCL2, IL-1β, and Nox2 mRNA expression compared to naïve eyes. Importantly, we found an upregulation of pro-inflammatory markers such as IL-1β and TNFα and astrocyte and tissue macrophage/microglia activation in hypertensive and normotensive RGC projection sites in the SCs compared to a naïve SC. To understand how neuroinflammation in the hypertensive retina is sufficient to damage both right and left SCs and the normotensive retina, we used an inflammatory model consisting in an unilateral stereotaxic injection of TNFα (25 ng/μl) in the right SC of naïve rats. Two weeks after TNFα injection, using an optomotor test, we observed that rats had visual deficiency in both eyes. Furthermore, both SCs showed an upregulation of genes and proteins for astrocytes, microglia, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, notably IL-1β. In addition, both retinas exhibited a significant increase of inflammatory markers compared to a naïve retina. CONCLUSIONS All these data evidence the complex role played by the SCs in the propagation of neuroinflammatory events induced by unilateral ocular hypertension and provide a new insight into the spread of neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain resulting from peripheral nerve injury involves many persistent neuroinflammatory processes including inflammatory chemokines that control leukocyte trafficking and activate resident cells. Several studies have shown that CCL2 chemokine, a potent attractant of monocytes, and its cognate receptor, CCR2, play a critical role in regulating nociceptive processes during neuropathic pain. However, the role of CCL2 in peripheral leukocyte infiltration-associated neuropathic pain remains poorly understood. In particular, the contribution of individual CCL2-expressing cell populations (i.e. stromal and leukocytes) to immune cell recruitment into the injured nerve has not been established. Here, in preclinical model of peripheral neuropathic pain (i.e. chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve), we have demonstrated that, CCL2 content was increased specifically in nerve fibers. This upregulation of CCL2 correlated with local monocyte/macrophage infiltration and pain processing. Furthermore, sciatic intraneural microinjection of CCL2 in naïve animals triggered long-lasting pain behavior associated with local monocyte/macrophage recruitment. Using a specific CCR2 antagonist and mice with a CCL2 genetic deletion, we have also established that the CCL2/CCR2 axis drives monocyte/macrophage infiltration and pain hypersensitivity in the CCI model. Finally, specific deletion of CCL2 in stromal or immune cells respectively using irradiated bone marrow-chimeric CCI mice demonstrated that stromal cell-derived CCL2 (in contrast to CCL2 immune cell-derived) tightly controls monocyte/macrophage recruitment into the lesion and plays a major role in the development of neuropathic pain. These findings demonstrate that in chronic pain states, CCL2 expressed by sciatic nerve cells predominantly drove local neuro-immune interactions and pain-related behavior through CCR2 signaling.

Abstract
Functional interactions between the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and opioid receptors have been reported in the brain, leading to a decreased morphine analgesic activity. However the cellular mechanisms responsible for this loss of opioid analgesia are largely unknown. Here we examined whether Src family-kinases (SFK)-linked mechanisms induced by CXCR4 contributed to the loss of acute morphine analgesia and could represent a new physiological anti-opioid signaling pathway. In this way, we showed by immunohistochemistry and western blot that CXCL12 rapidly activated SFK phosphorylation in vitro in primary cultured lumbar rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) but also in vivo in the DRG and the spinal cord. We showed that SFK activation occurred in a sub population of sensory neurons, in spinal microglia but also in spinal nerve terminals expressing mu-(MOR) and delta-opioid (DOR) receptor. In addition we described that CXCR4 is detected in MOR- and DOR-immunoreactive neurons in the DRG and spinal cord. In vivo, we demonstrated that an intrathecal administration of CXCL12 (1μg) significantly attenuated the subcutaneous morphine (4mg/kg) analgesia. Conversely, pretreatment with a potent CXCR4 antagonist (5μg) significantly enhanced morphine analgesia. Similar effects were obtained after an intrathecal injection of a specific SFK inhibitor, PP2 (10μg). Furthermore, PP2 abrogated CXCL12-induced decrease in morphine analgesia by suppressing SFK activation in the spinal cord. In conclusion, our data highlight that CXCL12-induced loss of acute morphine analgesia is linked to Src family kinases activation.

Abstract
Initial studies implicated the chemokine CXC motif ligand 12 (CXCL12) and its cognate CXC motif receptor 4 (CXCR4) in pain modulation. However, there has been no description of the distribution, transport and axonal sorting of CXCL12 and CXCR4 in rat nociceptive structures, and their direct participation in nociception modulation has not been demonstrated. Here, we report that acute intrathecal administration of CXCL12 induced mechanical hypersensitivity in naive rats. This effect was prevented by a CXCR4-neutralizing antibody. To determine the morphological basis of this behavioural response, we used light and electron microscopic immunohistochemistry to map CXCL12- and CXCR4-immunoreactive elements in dorsal root ganglia, lumbar spinal cord, sciatic nerve and skin. Light microscopy analysis revealed CXCL12 and CXCR4 immunoreactivity in calcitonin gene related peptide-containing peptidergic primary sensory neurons, which were both conveyed to central and peripheral sensory nerve terminals. Electron microscopy clearly demonstrated CXCL12 and CXCR4 immunoreactivity in primary sensory nerve terminals in the dorsal horn; both were sorted into small clear vesicles and large dense-core vesicles. This suggests that CXCL12 and CXCR4 are trafficked from nerve cell bodies to the dorsal horn. Double immunogold labelling for CXCL12 and calcitonin gene related peptide revealed partial vesicular colocalization in axonal terminals. We report, for the first time, that CXCR4 receptors are mainly located on the neuronal plasma membrane, where they are present at pre-synaptic and post-synaptic sites of central terminals. Receptor inactivation experiments, behavioural studies and morphological analyses provide strong evidence that the CXCL12/CXCR4 system is involved in modulation of nociceptive signalling.

Abstract
Neuronal networks originating in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Arc) play a fundamental role in controlling energy balance. In the Arc, neuropeptide Y (NPY)-producing neurons stimulate food intake, whereas neurons releasing the proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptide α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) strongly decrease food intake. There is growing evidence to suggest that apelin and its receptor may play a role in the central control of food intake, and both are concentrated in the Arc. We investigated the presence of apelin and its receptor in Arc NPY- and POMC-containing neurons and the effects of apelin on α-MSH release in the hypothalamus. We showed, by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy, that apelin-immunoreactive (IR) neuronal cell bodies were distributed throughout the rostrocaudal extent of the Arc and that apelin was strongly colocalized with POMC, but weakly colocalized with NPY. However, there were numerous NPY-IR nerve fibers close to the apelin-IR neuronal cell bodies. By combining in situ hybridization with immunohistochemistry, we demonstrated the presence of apelin receptor mRNA in Arc POMC neurons. Moreover, using a perifusion technique for hypothalamic explants, we demonstrated that apelin-17 (K17F) increased α-MSH release, suggesting that apelin released somato-dendritically or axonally from POMC neurons may stimulate α-MSH release in an autocrine manner. Consistent with these data, hypothalamic apelin levels were found to be higher in obese db/db mice and fa/fa Zucker rats than in wild-type animals. These findings support the hypothesis that central apelin is involved in regulating body weight and feeding behavior through the direct stimulation of α-MSH release.

Abstract
Apelin is a bioactive peptide recently identified as the endogenous ligand of the human orphan G protein-coupled receptor APJ. The presence of apelin-immunoreactive nerve fibers, together with the detection of apelin receptor mRNA in the parvocellular part of the paraventricular nucleus and the stimulatory action of apelin on corticotropin-releasing hormone release, indicate that apelin modulates adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release via an indirect action on the hypothalamus. However, a direct action of apelin in the anterior pituitary cannot be excluded. Here, we provided evidence for the existence of an apelinergic system within the adult male rat pituitary gland. Double immunofluorescence staining indicated that apelin is highly coexpressed in the anterior pituitary, mainly in corticotrophs (96.5 +/- 0.3%) and to a much lower extent in somatotropes (3.2 +/- 0.2%). Using in situ hybridization combined with immunohistochemistry, a high expression of apelin receptor mRNA was also found in corticotrophs, suggesting a local interaction between apelin and ACTH. In an ex vivo perifusion system of anterior pituitaries, apelin 17 (K17F, 10(-6) M) significantly increased basal ACTH release by 41%, whereas apelin 10 (R10F, 10(-6) M), an inactive apelin fragment, was ineffective. In addition, K17F but not R10F induced a dose-dependent increase in K(+)-evoked ACTH release, with maximal increase being observed for a 10(-6) M concentration. Taken together, these data outline the potential role of apelin as an autocrine/paracrine-acting peptide on ACTH release and provide morphological and neuroendocrine basis for further studies that explore the physiological role of apelin in the regulation of anterior pituitary functions.

Abstract
The hyperactivity of the brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been implicated in the development and maintenance of hypertension in several types of experimental and genetic hypertension animal models. Among the main bioactive peptides of the brain RAS, angiotensin (Ang) II and Ang III display the same affinity for type 1 and type 2 Ang II receptors. Both peptides, injected intracerebroventricularly, similarly increase blood pressure (BP); however, because Ang II is converted in vivo to Ang III, the identity of the true effector is unknown. In this article, we review new insights into the predominant role of brain Ang III in the control of BP, underlining the fact that brain aminopeptidase A (APA), the enzyme-forming central Ang III, could constitute a putative central therapeutic target for the treatment of hypertension. This justifies the development of potent systemically active APA inhibitors, such as RB150, as prototypes of a new class of antihypertensive agents for the treatment of certain forms of hypertension.

Abstract
Apelin, a neuropeptide recently identified as the endogenous ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor APJ, is highly concentrated in brain structures involved in the control of body fluid homeostasis including the supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular (PVN) hypothalamic nuclei. To clarify the implication of apelin in the regulation of water balance, we sought to determine whether apelin colocalized with arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the rat SON and PVN. We also investigated the effects of water deprivation on the levels of apelin within these two nuclei by comparison with those of AVP. Using dual immunolabeling confocal microscopy, we found that a large proportion of apelin-immunoreactive neurons colocalized AVP within both the SON and PVN, but that the two peptides were segregated within distinct subcellular compartments inside these cells. Both the number and labeling intensity of magnocellular apelin-immunoreactive cells increased significantly after 24- or 48-h dehydration, whereas the number and labeling density of AVP-immunoreactive neurons significantly decreased. The dehydration-induced increase in apelin immunoreactivity was markedly diminished by central injection of a selective vasopressin-1 receptor antagonist. Conversely, the effect of dehydration was mimicked by a 16-min intracerebroventricular infusion of AVP, again in a vasopressin-1 receptor antagonist-reversible manner. These results provide additional evidence for the involvement of the neuropeptide apelin in the control of body fluid homeostasis. They further suggest that the dehydration-induced release of AVP from magnocellular hypothalamic neurons may be responsible for the observed increase in immunoreactive apelin levels within the same neurons and thus that the release of one peptide may block that of another peptide synthesized in the same cells.

Abstract
Apelin, a recently isolated neuropeptide that is expressed in the supraoptic and the paraventricular nuclei, acts on specific receptors located on vasopressinergic neurons. The increased phasic pattern of these neurons facilitates sustained antidiuresis during dehydration or lactation. Here, we investigated whether apelin interacts with arginine vasopressin (AVP) to maintain body fluid homeostasis. We first characterized the predominant molecular forms of endogenous hypothalamic and plasma apelin as corresponding to apelin 13 and, to a lesser extent, to apelin 17. We then demonstrated that, in lactating rats, apelin was colocalized with AVP in supraoptic nucleus magnocellular neurons and given intracerebroventricularly inhibited the phasic electrical activity of AVP neurons. In lactating mice, intracerebroventricular administration of apelin 17 reduced plasma AVP levels and increased diuresis. Moreover, water deprivation, which increases systemic AVP release and causes depletion of hypothalamic AVP stores, decreased plasma apelin concentrations and induced hypothalamic accumulation of the peptide, indicating that AVP and apelin are conversely regulated to facilitate systemic AVP release and suppress diuresis. Opposite effects of AVP and apelin are likely to occur at the hypothalamic level through autocrine modulation of the phasic electrical activity of AVP neurons. Altogether, these data demonstrate that apelin acts as a potent diuretic neuropeptide counteracting AVP actions through inhibition of AVP neuron activity and AVP release. The coexistence of apelin and AVP in magnocellular neurons, their opposite biological effects, and regulation are likely to play a key role for maintaining body fluid homeostasis.

Abstract
The hyperactivity of the brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been implicated in the development and maintenance of hypertension in several types of experimental and genetic hypertension animal models. We previously reported that in the murine brain, aminopeptidase A (APA) is involved in the conversion of angiotensin II (AngII) to AngIII and that AngIII is one of the main effector peptides of the brain RAS in the control of vasopressin release. Here we report that brain AngIII exerts a tonic stimulatory effect on blood pressure in a model of salt-dependent hypertension, the DOCA-salt rat, characterized by a depressed systemic but a hyperactive brain RAS. Similar high blood pressure accompanied by a low systemic renin state was described in some patients, especially in hypertensive African Americans who are resistant to treatment by blockers of the systemic RAS. We developed RB150, a prodrug of the specific and selective APA inhibitor, EC33. RB150 given i.v. is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, to inhibit brain APA, and to block the formation of central AngIII. A single dose of systemic RB150 (15 mg/kg, i.v.) in conscious DOCA-salt rats inhibited brain APA activity and markedly reduced blood pressure for up to 24 h. These results demonstrate the crucial role of brain APA as a candidate target for the treatment of hypertension and suggest that RB150, a potent systemically active APA inhibitor, could be the prototype of a new class of antihypertensive agents for the treatment of certain forms of hypertension.
