Abstract
Abstract
Small molecule macrocyclic kinase inhibitors have attracted significant attention in drug discovery over the past years with drugs approval such as lorlatinib demonstrating the clinical relevance of this approach. We developed our expertise to further optimize those cyclic molecules. Having low molecular weight, they favorably alter the biological and physiochemical properties as well as selectivity, as compared to their linear parent, yielding high-quality drug candidates. While focused on kinase inhibitors, macrocyclic derivatives could be potentially turned into bifunctional protein degrader molecules useful for selective cellular knockdown of targeted proteins and investigation of the pharmacological effects. With macrocyclic “probes” from our proprietary library in nanomolar range IC50, we turned our attention to CDK9 inhibitors with good selectivity profile against CDK1/2/5/7. Previous CDK9 degraders based on acyclic inhibitors have used thalidomide as recruiter of the CRL4CRBN, resulting in successful ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of the protein of interest. Applying a three-step approach, we first defined the vector of substitution on our macrocyclic “probes” by homology modeling with known acyclic ligands/CDK9 co-crystal structures. Having defined 2 substitution patterns, we synthesized and tested in a biochemical assay the novels “probes” vectorized with the pro-linker moieties, without loss of activity. ODS’7152 was further derived into fully bifunctional molecules with variation on the linker’s nature and length, keeping thalidomide as the E3 ligase recruiter. Biophysical and biological properties were further evaluated in an MTS assay against several cell lines (HCT116, Jurkat E6.2, MOLT-4 and MV4-11) to assess cell proliferation and viability. The E3 Ligase engagement along with cell penetration was measured in a NanoBRET™ assay and compared to MDR_MDCK permeability. Finally, a selection of 4 PROTACs were evaluated in a dose response assay on MV4-11 for protein degradation phosphorylation of CTD-pol II and selectivity among several CDKs. Our findings support the rapid derivatization of macrocyclic “probes” inhibitors into macrocyclic-PROTAC as a strategy to generate early chemical biology tools with maintained potency and selectivity between homologous targets. Optimization of the physico-chemical and ADME properties of molecules can lead to drug candidates with distinct pharmacological effects as compared to the parent linear kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Background Mecillinam is a unique amidinopenicillin antibiotic, being the first and the only compound in its class. In contrast to other beta-lactams, it has a unique mechanism of action whereby it exerts its antibacterial activity through binding to penicillin binding protein 2. Pivmecillinam is the oral-prodrug of mecillinam and recommended as a first line therapy in the IDSA guidelines for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI), despite not yet being available in the USA. To support the clinical development of mecillinam and pivmecillinam in the USA for the treatment of both complicated UTI and uUTI this study investigated the activity of mecillinam against Enterobacterales isolates from the USA during 2018. Methods A total of 1,090 isolates from urinary tract infections from patients in the USA were tested. Activity of antibiotics was tested by CLSI methodology and susceptibility interpreted according to CLSI guidelines. Results Susceptibility and activity of each antibiotic are shown in the Table. Mecillinam MIC50 and MIC90 were 0.25 and 4 µg/mL, respectively and 94.5% of isolates were susceptible. Fosfomycin MIC50 and MIC90 were 2 and 32 µg/mL, respectively and 95.7% of isolates were susceptible. The other four comparator antibiotics showed MIC90 values >8 µg/mL and a 70.5 – 79.9% susceptible isolates. The highest MIC90 against all isolates combined was 64 µg/mL for nitrofurantoin and the highest percentage of resistance was obtained with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole with 29.5%. Resistance towards ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin was 19.6% and 26.1%, respectively. Table ![]()
Conclusion Overall, mecillinam showed the lowest MIC90 and a comparable susceptibility profile (94.5 % susceptible and 4.0 % resistant) to fosfomycin (i.e. 95.7% and 2.0% resistant) susceptible isolates). Resistance to ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole around or above 20% is concerning for their clinical usage to treat urinary tract infections. These encouraging susceptibility data warrant further studies to support the clinical development of mecillinam/pivmecillinam for the treatment of UTI in the USA.

Abstract
The alarming reduction in drug effectiveness against bacterial infections has created an urgent need for the development of new antibacterial agents that circumvent bacterial resistance mechanisms. We report here a series of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV inhibitors that demonstrate potent activity against a range of Gram-positive and selected Gram-negative organisms, including clinically-relevant and drug-resistant strains. In part 1, we present a detailed structure activity relationship (SAR) analysis that led to the discovery of our previously disclosed compound, REDX05931, which has a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.06 μg mL-1 against fluoroquinolone-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Although in vitro hERG and CYP inhibition precluded further development, it validates a rational design approach to address this urgent unmet medical need and provides a scaffold for further optimisation, which is presented in part 2.

Abstract
Building on our previously-reported novel tricyclic topoisomerase inhibitors (NTTIs), we disclose the discovery of REDX07965, which has an MIC90 of 0.5 μg mL-1 against Staphylococcus aureus, favourable in vitro pharmacokinetic properties, selectivity versus human topoisomerase II and an acceptable toxicity profile. The results herein validate a rational design approach to address the urgent unmet medical need for novel antibiotics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of two novel compounds against mycobacteria and determine the molecular basis of their action on DNA gyrase using structural and mechanistic approaches. METHODS Redx03863 and Redx04739 were tested in antibacterial assays, and also against their target, DNA gyrase, using DNA supercoiling and ATPase assays. X-ray crystallography was used to determine the structure of the gyrase B protein ATPase sub-domain from Mycobacterium smegmatis complexed with the aminocoumarin drug novobiocin, and structures of the same domain from Mycobacterium thermoresistibile complexed with novobiocin, and also with Redx03863. RESULTS Both compounds, Redx03863 and Redx04739, were active against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative species, with Redx03863 being the more potent, and Redx04739 showing selectivity against M. smegmatis. Both compounds were potent inhibitors of the supercoiling and ATPase reactions of DNA gyrase, but did not appreciably affect the ATP-independent relaxation reaction. The structure of Redx03863 bound to the gyrase B protein ATPase sub-domain from M. thermoresistibile shows that it binds at a site adjacent to the ATP- and novobiocin-binding sites. We found that most of the mutations that we made in the Redx03863-binding pocket, based on the structure, rendered gyrase inactive. CONCLUSIONS Redx03863 and Redx04739 inhibit gyrase by preventing the binding of ATP. The fact that the Redx03863-binding pocket is distinct from that of novobiocin, coupled with the lack of activity of resistant mutants, suggests that such compounds could have potential to be further exploited as antibiotics.

Abstract
Current pulpotomy is limited in its ability to induce regeneration of the dental-pulp (DP) complex. Hydrogels are reported to be well-suited for tissue engineering and are unlikely to induce an inflammatory response that might damage the remaining tissue. The present study investigated the molecular and cellular actors in the early inflammatory/immune response and deciphered M1/M2 macrophage polarisation to a chitosan-enriched fibrin hydrogel in pulpotomised rat incisors. Both fibrin and fibrin-chitosan hydrogels induced a strong increase in interleukin-6 (IL-6) transcript in the DP when compared to the DP of untreated teeth. Gene expression of other inflammatory mediators was not significantly modified after 3 h. In the viable DP cell population, the percentage of leukocytes assessed by flow cytometry was similar to fibrin and fibrin-chitosan hydrogels after 1 d. In this leukocyte population, the proportion of granulocytes increased beneath both hydrogels whereas the antigen-presenting cell, myeloid dendritic cells, T cells and B cells decreased. The natural killer (NK) cell population was significantly decreased only in DPs from teeth treated with fibrin-chitosan hydrogel. Immunolabeling analysis of the DP/hydrogel interface showed accumulation of neutrophil granulocytes in contact with both hydrogels 1 d after treatment. The DP close to this granulocyte area contained M2 but no M1 macrophages. These data collectively demonstrated that fibrin-chitosan hydrogels induced an inflammatory/immune response similar to that of the fibrin hydrogel. The results confirmed the potential clinical use of fibrin-chitosan hydrogel as a new scaffold for vital-pulp therapies.

Abstract
Iclaprim is a novel diaminopyrimidine, which inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, and it is active against Gram-positive pathogens including emerging drug-resistant pathogens. In vitro activity of iclaprim and comparators against 1365 Gram-positive clinical isolates from patients with skin and skin structure infections (SSSI) from the United States, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe, Africa or Middle East collected between 2013 and 2017 were tested. Susceptibility testing was performed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) interpretations were based on CLSI criteria. MIC90 for all S.aureus, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, S. agalactiae, S. anginosus, S. constellatus, S. dysgalactiae and S. intermedius were 0.12, 0.12, 0.5, 0.03, 0.5, ≤0.004, ≤0.004, 0.12, and 0.008 μg/ml, respectively. The MIC for iclaprim was 8 to 32-fold lower than trimethoprim, the only FDA approved dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, against all Gram-positive isolates including resistant phenotypes. Iclaprim demonstrated lower MICs than trimethoprim against a collection (2013-2017) of Gram-positive clinical isolates from patients with SSSI from the United States, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Europe.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-36α, IL-36β and IL-36γ are expressed highly in skin and are involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, while the antagonists IL-36Ra or IL-38, another potential IL-36 inhibitor, limit uncontrolled inflammation. The expression and role of IL-36 cytokines in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Crohn's disease (CD) is currently debated. Here, we observed that during imiquimod-induced mouse skin inflammation and in human psoriasis, expression of IL-36α, γ and IL-36Ra, but not IL-36β and IL-38 mRNA, was induced and correlated with IL-1β and T helper type 17 (Th17) cytokines (IL-17A, IL-22, IL-23, CCL20). In mice with collagen-induced arthritis and in the synovium of patients with RA, IL-36α, β, γ, IL-36Ra and IL-38 were all elevated and correlated with IL-1β, CCL3, CCL4 and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), but not with Th17 cytokines. In the colon of mice with dextran sulphate sodium-induced colitis and in patients with CD, only IL-36α, γ and IL-38 were induced at relatively low levels and correlated with IL-1β and IL-17A. We suggest that only a minor subgroup of patients with RA (17-29%) or CD (25%) had an elevated IL-36 agonists/antagonists ratio, versus 93% of patients with psoriasis. By immunohistochemistry, IL-36 cytokines were produced by various cell types in skin, synovium and colonic mucosa such as keratinocytes, CD68⁺ macrophages, dendritic/Langerhans cells and CD79α⁺ plasma cells. In primary cultures of monocytes or inflammatory macrophages (M1), IL-36β and IL-36Ra were produced constitutively, but IL-36α, γ and IL-38 were produced after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. These distinct expression profiles may help to explain why only subgroups of RA and CD patients have a potentially elevated IL-36 agonists/antagonists ratio.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main aim of cardiac rehabilitation is for the patient to sustain physical activity at home. The daily living activities (DLA) are important to take into account. AIM OF THE STUDY Analyze the DLA of patients in CR. PATIENTS AND METHODS One thousand seven hundred and eighty patients (mean age: 60.9±11 years) followed a CR programme between 2010 and 2015. They were tested for several DLA with their cardiac frequency (CF). The observed CF was included in the Karvonen's formula, used for the prescription of physical activity. RESULTS The coefficient of Karvonen was situated between 0.54 to 0.69, which was compatible with the prescribed physical training. Nevertheless, when the maximal exercise capacity was less than 5 METs, the coefficients were higher (0.53-0.89). CONCLUSION It was useful to test the cardiac patients for DLA during a CR programme. The use of Karvonen's formula allowed to compare these exercises with recommended physical training. We must be prudent when the maximal physical capacity is less than 5 METs.

Abstract
Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK) and RANK-ligand are relevant targets for the treatment of polyethylene particle-induced osteolysis. This study assessed the local administration of siRNA, targeting both human RANK and mouse Rank transcripts in a mouse model. Four groups of mice were implanted with polyethylene (PE) particles in the calvaria and treated locally with 2.5, 5 and 10 μg of RANK siRNA or a control siRNA delivered by the cationic liposome DMAPAP/DOPE. The tissues were harvested at day 9 after surgery and evaluated by micro-computed tomography, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) immunohistochemistry for macrophages and osteoblasts, and gene relative expression of inflammatory and osteolytic markers. 10 μg of RANK siRNA exerted a protective effect against PE particle-induced osteolysis, decreasing the bone loss and the osteoclastogenesis, demonstrated by the significant increase in the bone volume (P<0.001) and by the reduction in both the number of TRAP(+) cells and osteoclast activity (P<0.01). A bone anabolic effect demonstrated by the formation of new trabecular bone was confirmed by the increased immunopositive staining for osteoblast-specific proteins. In addition, 5 and 10 μg of RANK siRNA downregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (P<0.01) without depletion of macrophages. Our findings show that RANK siRNA delivered locally by a synthetic vector may be an effective approach for reducing osteolysis and may even stimulate bone formation in aseptic loosening of prosthetic implants.

Abstract
Background There remains a critical need for more effective, safe, long-term treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF). Any successful therapeutic strategy designed to combat the respiratory pathology of this condition must address the altered lung physiology and recurrent, complex, polymicrobial infections and biofilms that affect the CF pulmonary tract. Cysteamine is a potential solution to these unmet medical needs and is described here for the first time as (Lynovex®) a single therapy with the potential to deliver mucoactive, antibiofilm and antibacterial properties; both in oral and inhaled delivery modes. Cysteamine is already established in clinical practice for an unrelated orphan condition, cystinosis, and is therefore being repurposed (in oral form) for cystic fibrosis from a platform of over twenty years of safety data and clinical experience. Methods The antibacterial and antibiofilm attributes of cysteamine were determined against type strain and clinical isolates of CF relevant pathogens using CLSI standard and adapted microbiological methods and a BioFlux microfluidic system. Assays were performed in standard nutrient media conditions, minimal media, to mimic the low metabolic activity of microbes/persister cells in the CF respiratory tract and in artificial sputum medium. In vivo antibacterial activity was determined in acute murine lung infection/cysteamine nebulisation models. The mucolytic potential of cysteamine was assessed against DNA and mucin in vitro by semi-quantitative macro-rheology. In all cases, the ‘gold standard’ therapeutic agents were employed as control/comparator compounds against which the efficacy of cysteamine was compared. Results Cysteamine demonstrated at least comparable mucolytic activity to currently available mucoactive agents. Cysteamine was rapidly bactericidal against both metabolically active and persister cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and also emerging CF pathogens; its activity was not sensitive to high ionic concentrations characteristic of the CF lung. Cysteamine prevented the formation of, and disrupted established P. aeruginosa biofilms. Cysteamine was synergistic with conventional CF antibiotics; reversing antibiotic resistance/insensitivity in CF bacterial pathogens. Conclusions The novel mucolytic-antimicrobial activity of cysteamine (Lynovex®) provides potential for a much needed new therapeutic strategy in cystic fibrosis. The data we present here provides a platform for cysteamine’s continued investigation as a novel treatment for this poorly served orphan disease.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have shown promising antitumor effects on numerous cancer cells including malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and lung adenocarcinoma (ADCA) cells. However, clinical trials using these compounds alone have shown limited efficacy against solid tumors. Therefore, new molecules are being developed and combinations with classical chemotherapeutic drugs are being tested. Here, we have evaluated on three MPM and three lung ADCA cell lines the antitumor potential of four new HDACi compounds, either alone or in combination with cisplatin. These effects were compared with those of vorinostat, an HDACi approved for cancer treatments. First, we characterized the HDAC mRNA expression profiles of tumor cells and showed an increase of the classI/classII HDAC ratio. We then treated cancer cells with these new HDACi and observed a cell-death induction and an increase of HDACi target genes and proteins expression. This was particularly evident for NODH compound (pan-HDACi) which had similar effects at nanomolar concentrations as micromolar concentrations of vorinostat. Interestingly, we observed that the HDACi/cisplatin combination strongly increased cell-death and limited resistance-phenotype emergence as compared with results obtained when the drugs were used alone. These results could be exploited to develop MPM and lung ADCA treatments combining chemotherapeutic approaches.

Abstract
An unknown impurity detected in small amounts during the heat treatment of artesunate-amodiaquine bilayer tablets was purified by semipreparative HPLC and identified by MS and NMR as the tetrahydrofuranyl acetate-rearranged derivative of anhydrodihydroartemisinin. When anhydrodihydroartemisinin was treated with a Fe(II) salt in acetonitrile-water solution, the same product was generated, together with an isomeric 2-deoxy-4α-hydroxy-anhydrodihydroartemisinin derivative, as expected from the usual homolytic radical opening of the endoperoxide bond previously described for other artemisinin derivatives.

Abstract
The segmentation of microscopic images is a challenging application that can have numerous applications ranging from prognosis to diagnosis. Mathematical morphology is a very well established theory to process images. Segmentation by morphological means is based on watershed that considers an image as a topographic surface. Watershed requires input and marker image. The user can provide the latter but far more relevant results can be obtained for watershed segmentation if marker extraction relies on prior knowledge. Parameters governing marker extraction varying from image to image, machine learning approaches are of interest for robust extraction of markers. We review different strategies for extracting markers by machine learning: single classifier, multiple classifier, single classifier optimized by model selection.

Abstract
The proton-decoupled (13)C nmr spectrum of 1,1-difluorocyclohexane has been examined at room temperature and at -90 degrees C. There are only minor changes in the one-bond and two-bond carbon-fluorine scalar coupling constants at the lower temperature; however, the triplet observed for C-3 ((3)J(CF) = 4.7 Hz) collapses to a doublet ((3)J(CF) = 9.5 Hz) at -90 degrees C. It is proposed that only the equatorial fluorine is coupled with the C-3 carbon as the result of operation of a back-lobe orbital interaction.

Abstract
Microscopic cellular image segmentation schemes must be efficient for reliable analysis and fast to process huge quantity of images. Recent studies have focused on improving segmentation quality. Several segmentation schemes have good quality but processing time is too expensive to deal with a great number of images per day. For segmentation schemes based on pixel classification, the classifier design is crucial since it is the one which requires most of the processing time necessary to segment an image. The main contribution of this work is focused on how to reduce the complexity of decision functions produced by support vector machines (SVM) while preserving recognition rate. Vector quantization is used in order to reduce the inherent redundancy present in huge pixel databases (i.e. images with expert pixel segmentation). Hybrid color space design is also used in order to improve data set size reduction rate and recognition rate. A new decision function quality criterion is defined to select good trade-off between recognition rate and processing time of pixel decision function. The first results of this study show that fast and efficient pixel classification with SVM is possible. Moreover posterior class pixel probability estimation is easy to compute with Platt method. Then a new segmentation scheme using probabilistic pixel classification has been developed. This one has several free parameters and an automatic selection must dealt with, but criteria for evaluate segmentation quality are not well adapted for cell segmentation, especially when comparison with expert pixel segmentation must be achieved. Another important contribution in this paper is the definition of a new quality criterion for evaluation of cell segmentation. The results presented here show that the selection of free parameters of the segmentation scheme by optimisation of the new quality cell segmentation criterion produces efficient cell segmentation.

Abstract
Prostate cancer metastases to bone are observed in around 80% of prostate cancer patients and represent the most critical complication of advanced prostate cancer, frequently resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. As the underlying mechanisms are not fully characterized, understanding the biological mechanisms that govern prostate cancer metastases to bone at the molecular level should lead to the determination of new potential therapeutic targets. Receptor activator of NFkappaB ligand (RANKL)/RANK/Osteoprotegerin (OPG) are the key regulators of bone metabolism both in normal and pathological condition, including prostate cancer bone metastases. In the present study, we demonstrated that human prostate cancer cell lines, DU145 and PC3 express biologically functional RANK. Indeed, soluble human RANKL (shRANKL, 100 ng/ml) treatment induced ERK 1/2, p38 and IkappaB phosphorylations in these cells. shRANKL administration also promoted DU145 and PC3 prostate cancer cell invasion in vitro. Whereas human OPG (hOPG) administration alone (100 ng/ml) had no marked effect, combined association of both agents abolished the RANKL-induced DU145 cell invasion. As RANKL had no direct effect on DU145 cell proliferation, the observed effects were indeed related to RANKL-induced cell migration. DU145 human prostate cancer cells promoted osteoclastogenesis of osteoclast precursors generated from mouse bone marrow. Moreover, DU145 cells produced soluble factor(s) that up-regulate the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts through the activation of the ERK 1/2 and STAT3 signal transduction pathways. This stimulation of pre-osteoblast proliferation resulted in an increased local RANKL expression that can activate both osteoclasts/osteoclast precursors and prostate cancer cells, thus facilitating prostate cancer metastasis development in bone. We confirm that RANKL is a factor that facilitates metastasis to bone by acting as an activator of both osteoclasts and RANK-positive prostate cancer cells in our model. Furthermore, the present study provides the evidence that blocking RANKL-RANK interaction offer new therapeutic approach not only at the level of bone resorbing cells, but also by interfering with RANK-positive prostate cancer cells in the prostate cancer bone metastasis development.

Abstract
The dorsal vagal complex, located in the brainstem, is the major integrative center of the autonomic nervous system. By combining in vivo bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and phenotypic immunolabeling, we have previously reported that neurogenesis occurs in the adult rat dorsal vagal complex [Bauer S, Hay M, Amilhon B, Jean A, Moyse E (2005) In vivo neurogenesis in the dorsal vagal complex of the adult rat brainstem. Neuroscience 130:75-90.]. In the present study we asked whether adult dorsal vagal complex contains proliferative and/or neural stem cells. Using Ki-67 immunolabeling and cyclin D1 Western blot, we showed intrinsic cell proliferation in the dorsal vagal complex and its stimulation by vagotomy. Detailed time-course analysis revealed that vagotomy-induced proliferation in the dorsal vagal complex peaked three days after lesion. In order to directly assess the presence of intrinsic stem cells, primary cell cultures from adult rat dorsal vagal complex were performed in the presence of epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor (neurosphere assay). A discrete subpopulation of dorsal vagal complex cells proliferated as neurospheres, self-renewed when passaged, and differentiated into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Proliferation and neuron-differentiating potentials of dorsal vagal complex neurospheres were both lower than those of subventricular zone neurospheres from the same rats. The relationship between in vitro neurosphere-forming cells of dorsal vagal complex and in vivo dorsal vagal complex neurogenesis is discussed and remains to be directly addressed. The present data demonstrate the occurrence of neural stem cells in the dorsal vagal complex of adult rat brain.

Abstract
The efficacy of zoledronic acid (ZOL), with or without the anticancer drug ifosfamide (IFO), was tested on primary bone tumor growth using a rat-transplantable model of osteosarcoma. The effects on bone remodeling and tumor growth were analyzed by radiography, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and histological staining. The in vitro effects of ZOL were studied by proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle analyses on the osteosarcoma cells OSRGA compared to rat primary osteoblasts. Treatment with ZOL was effective in preventing the formation of osteolytic lesions that developed in bone sites and in reducing the local tumor growth, as compared to the untreated rats. The combination of ZOL and IFO was more effective than each agent alone in preventing tumor recurrence, improving tissue repair, and increasing bone formation as revealed by the analysis of trabecular architecture. In vitro studies demonstrated that ZOL was more potent against the OSRGA cell line than osteoblasts (with a half-maximal inhibitory effect on proliferation seen at 0.2 and 20 microM, respectively), the ZOL-induced inhibition of OSRGA proliferation being due to cell cycle arrest in S-phase. No effect on OSRGA apoptosis could be observed in vitro, as assessed by Hoechst staining and caspase-1 and -3 activation. In situ cell death was determined by TUNEL staining on tumor tissue sections. No significant difference in TUNEL-positive cells could be observed between ZOL-treated and -untreated rats. This is the first report of the anti-bone resorption and antitumoral activities of zoledronic acid in a rat model of osteosarcoma, and its beneficial association with an antitumoral chemotherapeutic drug in preventing tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Une procédure d'évaluation des risques pour l'écosystème aquatique engendrés par un dépôt de matériaux de dragage dans une gravière type a été élaborée, et testée avec des échantillons de sédiments d'un canal du Nord-Est de la France. La procédure comporte une étape d'évaluation sommaire des risques, à partir de quotients des concentrations mesurées par les critères de danger correspondants, et une étape d'évaluation détaillée où des essais de toxicité et de lixiviation en colonnes sont mis en œuvre. Le scénario testé retient trois hypothèses, qui concernent (a) les effets sur les peuplements d'invertébrés benthiques, représentés notamment par Hyalella azteca et Chironomus riparius, (b) les effets sur les peuplements d'organismes pélagiques, représentés par Chlorella vulgaris, Ceriodaphnia dubia, et Brachionus calyciflorus, et (c) la pollution de la nappe alluviale associée. Différentes modalités d'exposition (essais normalisés, microcosmes) ont été testées. Dans le contexte particulier des trois sédiments étudiés, ces hypothèses se sont avérées plus ou moins discriminantes, la pollution de la nappe étant la plus sensible. Des améliorations de la procédure doivent être envisagées qui concernent à la fois la formulation des hypothèses (risques à court et long terme sur les organismes pélagiques), et les protocoles d'essai, tant pour les organismes du sédiment (rôle de la nourriture notamment) que pour les essais de lixiviation en colonnes.

Abstract
Avascular cartilage is replaced by highly vascularized bone tissue during endochondral ossification, a process involving capillary invasion of calcified hypertrophic cartilage in association with apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes, degradation of cartilage matrix and deposition of bone matrix. All of these events are closely controlled, especially by cytokines and growth factors. Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a member of the gp130 cytokine family, is involved in osteoarticular tissue metabolism and might participate in osteogenesis. Immunohistochemical staining showed that LIF is expressed in hypertrophic chondrocytes and vascular sprouts of cartilage and bone during rat and human osteogenesis. LIF is also present in osteoblasts but not in osteoclasts. Observations in a rat endochondral ossification model were confirmed by studies of human cartilage biopsies from foetuses with osteogenesis imperfecta. LIF was never detected in adult articular chondrocytes and bone-marrow mesenchymal cells. These results and other data in the literature suggest that LIF is involved in the delicate balance between the rate of formation of calcified cartilage and its vascularization for bone development.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of various metal ions (aluminium, chromium, cobalt, gold, iron, strontium, titanium and vanadium) on rabbit osteoclast activities, with respect to their number, size, resorptive capacity and their capacity to release proteinases. Marked heterogeneous osteoclastic behaviour was observed early in culture with metal ions (24 h) in term of resorption parameters. In contrast, protease activities (cysteine-proteinase and metalloproteinase activities) were not modulated in our culture conditions. Aluminium, iron, gold and titanium reduced the number of osteoclasts significantly. Aluminium and gold had no effect on osteoclast-mediated resorption on dentin-slices, although aluminium induced a greater number of very small lacunae. Titanium reduced only the mean surface area per lacunae, cobalt reduced the mean surface area of lacunae and increased their number, and iron reduced both parameters. Strontium had no effect on osteoclast formation and on total dentin slice surface resorbed. However, strontium increased the number of small lacunae formed on dentin-slices by osteoclasts. Chromium had no effect on osteoclast activities. These findings indicate that metal ions induce very early effects on osteoclasts, which can contribute to periprosthetic pathologies via different cellular mechanisms.

Abstract
Netrin-1 is a bifunctional secreted protein that directs axon extension in various groups of developing axonal tracts. The transmembrane DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) receptor is described as netrin-1 receptor and is involved in the attractive effects of netrin-1. In this study, we examined the spatio-temporal expression patterns of both netrin-1 and DCC in the rat olfactory system at different stages of development and during axonal regeneration following unilateral bulbectomy. High DCC expression was detected on the pioneer olfactory axons as they are extending toward the telencephalon. This expression was transient since from embryonic day 16 onwards, DCC was no longer detected along the olfactory nerve path. From embryonic day 14 until birth, DCC was also expressed within the mesenchyme surrounding the olfactory epithelium. During the same period, netrin-1 protein was detected along the trajectory of olfactory axons up to the olfactory bulb and its expression pattern in the nasal mesenchyme largely overlapped that of DCC. Moreover, netrin-1 continued to be present during the two first post-natal weeks, and a weak protein expression still persisted in the dorso-medial region of the olfactory epithelium in adult rats. While unilateral bulbectomy induced a transient up-regulation of netrin-1 in the lamina propria, particularly in the dorso-medial region of the neuroepithelium, no DCC expression was detected on the regenerating olfactory axons. In the developing olfactory bulb, the extension of mitral cell axons was associated with DCC presence while netrin-1 was absent along this axonal path. DCC was also highly expressed in the newly formed glomeruli after birth, and a weak DCC expression was still detected in the glomerular layer in adult rats. Taken together, these data support the notion that netrin-1, via DCC expressed on axons, may play a role in promoting outgrowth and/or guidance of pioneering olfactory axons toward the olfactory bulb primordium. Moreover, association of netrin-1 with mesenchymal DCC may provide a permissive environment to the growth of both pioneer and later-growing axons. The maintenance of netrin-1 expression in the nasal mesenchyme of adult rats as well as its regional up-regulation following unilateral bulbectomy infer that netrin-1, even in the absence of DCC, may be involved in the process of axonal growth of newly differentiated olfactory receptor neurons probably through the use of other receptors.

Abstract
This study investigated the ability of normal human osteoblasts (hOb) and osteogenic sarcoma cells (MG-63 and SaOS2) to produce gelatinases and undergo modulation by interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin 6 (IL-6), oncostatin M (OSM), leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Gelatinase activities were determined by zymogaphy, and a quantitative analysis was performed by ELISA. The MMP-2 activities of the three cell lines were significantly increased in the presence of IL-1beta and IL-6, but no modulation of MMP-2 activities was observed in the presence of OSM, LIF and GH. IGF-I increased the activity released by SaOS2 and hOb, but no modulation was detectable in MG-63 cell conditioned medium. An upmodulation of pro-MMP-2 secretion by SaOS2 and hOb was observed for all soluble factors used, whereas an upmodulation of pro-MMP-2 secretion by MG-63 was observed only in the presence of IL-1beta, IL-6 and IGF-I. Thus, osteoblastic cells modulated by cytokines can be involved in bone resorption as a result of the protease activities released.

Abstract
The production of cysteine protease by two human osteosarcoma cell lines (MG-63 and SaOS2) was analyzed, as well as their modulation by interleukin 1beta (hIL-1 beta), interleukin 6 (hIL-6), insulin growth factor-1 (hIGF-1), oncostatin M (hOSM), leukemia inhibitory factor (hLIF) and growth hormone (hGH). Cysteine protease activities were detected using a synthetic substrate. The protease activities (especially cathepsin L activity) of both cell lines were increased significantly in the presence of hIL-1 beta, hIL-6 and hOSM. In contrast, hIGF-1 and hGH decreased these activities, and no effect was detectable in the presence of hLIF. The addition of antibodies against the gp-130 chain of the hIL-6 and hOSM receptors totally inhibited the stimulating effect of these two cytokines on cysteine protease activities. In increasing collagen type I degradation, hIL-1beta, hIL-6 and hOSM could be involved in bone resorption, whereas the inhibitory action of hIGF-1 and hGH on collagen type I degradation suggest that this factor could play a role in bone formation.

Abstract
A variable-temperature, proton noise-decoupled, (13)C nmr spectral study of the chair-chair interconversion in 1,1,3,3-tetramethylcyclohexane has demonstrated the utility of (13)C spectra for probing conformational equilibria. There is a much larger chemical-shift difference between the carbons of axial and equatorial methyl groups than between the protons of these methyl groups, 133 Hz compared to 7.5 Hz. Comparison of the activation parameters determined from the (13)C spectra of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylcyclohexane with those determined from a variable-temperature (19)F study on 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1,1-difluorocyclohexane shows that the introduction of a gem-difluoro group into the ring causes significant steric interactions. The (13)C chemical shifts for 1,1,3,3-tetramethylcyclohexane reflect the importance of the methyl-methyl 1,3-diaxial interactions.
