Abstract
Despite their great versatility and ease of functionalization, most polymer-based nanocarriers intended for use in drug delivery often face serious limitations that can prevent their clinical translation, such as uncontrolled drug release and off-target toxicity, which mainly originate from the burst release phenomenon. In addition, residual solvents from the formulation process can induce toxicity, alter the physico-chemical and biological properties and can strongly impair further pharmaceutical development. To address these issues, we report polymer prodrug nanoparticles, which are prepared without organic solvents via an all-aqueous formulation process, and provide sustained drug release. This was achieved by the "drug-initiated" synthesis of well-defined copolymer prodrugs exhibiting a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and based on the anticancer drug gemcitabine (Gem). After screening for different structural parameters, prodrugs based on amphiphilic diblock copolymers were formulated into stable nanoparticles by all-aqueous nanoprecipitation, with rather narrow particle size distribution and average diameters in the 50-80 nm range. They exhibited sustained Gem release in human serum and acetate buffer, rapid cellular uptake and significant cytotoxicity on A549 and Mia PaCa-2 cancer cells. We also demonstrated the versatility of this approach by formulating Gem-based polymer prodrug nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin (Dox) for combination therapy. The dual-drug nanoparticles exhibited sustained release of Gem in human serum and acidic release of Dox under accelerated pathophysiological conditions. Importantly, they also induced a synergistic effect on triple-negative breast cancer line MDA-MB-231, which is a relevant cell line to this combination.

Abstract
Antileishmanial chemotherapy is currently limited due to severe toxic side effects and drug resistance. Hence, new antileishmanial compounds based on alternative approaches, mainly to avoid the emergence of drug resistance, are needed. The present work aims to decipher the mechanism of action of an antileishmanial drug candidate, named VP343, inhibiting intracellular Leishmania infantum survival via the host cell. Cell imaging showed that VP343 interferes with the fusion of parasitophorous vacuoles and host cell late endosomes and lysosomes, leading to lysosomal cholesterol accumulation and ROS overproduction within host cells. Proteomic analyses showed that VP343 perturbs host cell vesicular trafficking as well as cholesterol synthesis/transport pathways. Furthermore, a knockdown of two selected targets involved in vesicle-mediated transport, Pik3c3 and Sirt2, resulted in similar antileishmanial activity to VP343 treatment. This work revealed potential host cell pathways and targets altered by VP343 that would be of interest for further development of host-directed antileishmanial drugs.

Abstract
Reperfusion injuries after a period of cardiac ischemia are known to lead to pathological modifications or even death. Among the different therapeutic options proposed, adenosine, a small molecule with platelet anti-aggregate and anti-inflammatory properties, has shown encouraging results in clinical trials. However, its clinical use is severely limited because of its very short half-life in the bloodstream. To overcome this limitation, we have proposed a strategy to encapsulate adenosine in squalene-based nanoparticles (NPs), a biocompatible and biodegradable lipid. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess, whether squalene-based nanoparticles loaded with adenosine (SQAd NPs) were cardioprotective in a preclinical cardiac ischemia/reperfusion model. Obtained SQAd NPs were characterized in depth and further evaluated in vitro. The NPs were formulated with a size of about 90 nm and remained stable up to 14 days at both 4 °C and room temperature. Moreover, these NPs did not show any signs of toxicity, neither on HL-1, H9c2 cardiac cell lines, nor on human PBMC and, further retained their inhibitory platelet aggregation properties. In a mouse model with experimental cardiac ischemia-reperfusion, treatment with SQAd NPs showed a reduction of the area at risk, as well as of the infarct area, although not statistically significant. However, we noted a significant reduction of apoptotic cells on cardiac tissue from animals treated with the NPs. Further studies would be interesting to understand how and through which mechanisms these nanoparticles act on cardiac cells.

Abstract
Innovative Pickering emulsions co-encapsulating two active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) were formulated for a topical use. An immunosuppressive agent, either cyclosporine A (CysA) or tacrolimus (TAC), was encapsulated at high drug loading in biodegradable and biocompatible poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NP). These NP stabilized the oil droplets (Miglyol) containing an anti-inflammatory drug, calcitriol (CAL). The influence of the API on the physico-chemical properties of these emulsions were studied. Emulsions formulated with or without API had a similar macroscopic and microscopic structure, as well as interfacial properties, and they exhibited a good stability for at least 55 days. The emulsions did not alter the viability of human keratinocytes (HaCaT cell line) after 2 and 5 days of exposure to NP concentrations equivalent to efficient API dosages. Thus, these new Pickering emulsions appear as a promising multidrug delivery system for the treatment of chronical inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE Androgen deprivation regenerates the thymus in adults, expanding of T-cell receptor V β repertoire in blood and lymphoid organs and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in human prostate tumors. In melanoma murine models, androgen receptor promotes metastases and androgen blockade potentiates antitumor vaccine efficacy. This phase I study evaluated the safety, efficacy, and pharmocodynamics of androgen deprivation with the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist triptorelin combined with nivolumab in male patients with melanoma resistant to anti-PD-1. PATIENTS AND METHODS Adult male patients with advanced melanoma who progressed under anti-PD-1 containing regimens received triptorelin 3.75 mg every 4 weeks, nivolumab 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, and bicalutamide 50 mg once daily during the first 28 days. Tumor response was first assessed after 3 months; adverse events (AE) were monitored throughout the study. T-cell receptor excision circles (TREC), a biomarker of thymus activity, were explored throughout the study. RESULTS Of 14 patients, 4 were locally advanced and 10 had distant metastases. There were no grade 4 or 5 AEs. Five grade three AEs were reported in 4 patients. According to RECIST v1.1, best overall response was partial response (PR) in one patient with a pancreas metastasis, stable disease (SD) in 5 patients, and progressive disease in 8 patients. According to iRECIST, a second PR occurred after an initial pseudoprogression, TRECs increased in 2 patients, one with PR who also had an increase in TILs, and the second with SD. CONCLUSIONS This combination was well tolerated. Disease control was obtained in 42.8% (RECIST) and 50% (iRECIST). The evidence for thymus rejuvenation was limited.

Abstract
Clostridioides difficile is responsible for post-antibiotic diarrhea and most of the pseudomembranous colitis cases. Multiple recurrences, one of the major challenges faced in C. difficile infection (CDI) management, can be considered as chronic infections, and the role of biofilm formation in CDI recurrences is now widely considered. Therefore, we explored if the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 could impact the in vitro formation of C. difficile biofilm. Biomass staining and viable bacterial cell quantification showed that live S. boulardii exerts an antagonistic effect on the biofilm formation for the three C. difficile strains tested. Confocal laser scanning microscopy observation revealed a weakening and an average thickness reduction of the biofilm structure when C. difficile is co-incubated with S. boulardii, compared to the single-species bacterial biofilm structure. These effects, that were not detected with another genetically close yeast, S. cerevisiae, seemed to require direct contact between the probiotic yeast and the bacterium. Quantification of the extrapolymeric matrix components, as well as results obtained after DNase treatment, revealed a significant decrease of eDNA, an essential structural component of the C. difficile biofilm matrix, in the dual-species biofilm. This modification could explain the reduced cohesion and robustness of C. difficile biofilms formed in the presence of S. boulardii CNCM I-745 and be involved in S. boulardii clinical preventive effect against CDI recurrences.

Abstract
Sphingomyelin nanosystems have already shown to be promising carriers for efficient delivery of anticancer drugs. For further application in the treatment of pancreatic tumor, the investigation on relevant in vitro models able to reproduce its physio-pathological complexity, is mandatory. Accordingly, a 3D heterotype spheroid model of pancreatic tumor has been herein constructed to investigate the potential of bare and polyethylene glycol-modified lipids nanosystems in terms of their ability to penetrate the tumor mass and deliver drugs. Regardless of their surface properties, the lipid nanosystems successfully diffused through the spheroid without inducing toxicity, showing a clear safety profile. Loading of the bare nanosystems with a lipid prodrug of gemcitabine was used to evaluate their therapeutic potential. While the nanosystems were more effective than the free drug on 2D cell monocultures, this advantage, despite their efficient penetration capacity, was lost in the 3D tumor model. The latter, being able to mimic the tumor and its microenvironment, was capable to provide a more realistic information on the cell sensitivity to treatments. These results highlight the importance of using appropriate 3D tumour models as tools for proper in vitro evaluation of nanomedicine efficacy and their timely optimisation, so as to identify the best candidates for later in vivo evaluation.

Abstract
Improvement of anticancer treatments is associated with increased survival of cancer patients at risk of cardiac disease. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic molecules capable of preventing acute and long-term cardiotoxicity. Here, using commercial and home-made chemolibraries, we performed a robust phenotypic high-throughput screening in rat cardiomyoblast cell line H9c2, searching for small molecules capable of inhibiting cell death. A screen of 1600 compounds identified six molecules effective in preventing necrosis and apoptosis induced by H2O2 and camptothecin in H9c2 cells and in rat neonatal ventricular myocytes. In cells treated with these molecules, we systematically evaluated the expression of BCL-2 family members, autophagy progression, mitochondrial network structure, regulation of mitochondrial fusion/fission, reactive oxygen species, and ATP production. We found that these compounds affect autophagy induction to prevent cardiac cell death and can be promising cardioprotective drugs during chemotherapy.

Abstract
Yellow fluorescent proteins (YFPs) are widely used as optical reporters in Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensors. Although great improvements have been done, the sensitivity of the biosensors is still limited by the low photostability and the poor fluorescence performances of YFPs at acidic pH values. Here, we characterize the yellow fluorescent protein tdLanYFP, derived from the tetrameric protein from the cephalochordate Branchiostoma lanceolatum, LanYFP. With a quantum yield of 0.92 and an extinction coefficient of 133,000 mol-1·L·cm-1, it is, to our knowledge, the brightest dimeric fluorescent protein available. Contrasting with EYFP and its derivatives, tdLanYFP has a very high photostability in vitro and in live cells. As a consequence, tdLanYFP allows imaging of cellular structures with subdiffraction resolution using STED nanoscopy and is compatible with the use of spectromicroscopies in single-molecule regimes. Its very low pK1/2 of 3.9 makes tdLanYFP an excellent tag even at acidic pH values. Finally, we show that tdLanYFP is a valuable FRET partner either as a donor or acceptor in different biosensing modalities. Altogether, these assets make tdLanYFP a very attractive yellow fluorescent protein for long-term or single-molecule live-cell imaging including FRET experiments at acidic pH.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to formulate the poor soluble antifungal and antiparasitic agent Amphotericin B (AmB) in cost-effective lipid-based formulations suitable for oral use in developing countries, overcoming the limitations of poor water solubility, nephrotoxicity and low oral bioavailability. The antifungal agent was formulated, at different molar proportions, in cochleate nanocarriers prepared using an accessible naturally occurring phospholipid rich in phosphatidylserine (Lipoid PSP70). These nanoassemblies were prepared by condensation of negatively charged phospholipid membrane vesicles with divalent cations (Ca2+). Small-angle X-ray scattering studies revealed the Ca2+-triggered condensation of loosely packed multilamellar vesicles into tightly packed bilayers of strongly dehydrated multilamellar organization characterized by narrow Bragg peaks. Transmission electron microscopy and quasi-elastic light scattering studies demonstrated the formation of nanosized particles. AmB drug loading was above 55% in all formulations. Circular dichroism demonstrated the prevalence of monomeric and complexed forms of AmB over toxic aggregates. The stability of AmB in gastric medium was improved by loading in cochleates and its release in gastrointestinal media was retarded. Confocal microscopy studies revealed the in-vitro interactions of Lipoid PSP70-based cochleates with Caco2 intestinal cell monolayers. The results suggest that the low-cost AmB-loaded cochleates may increase the therapeutic range of this drug.

Abstract
Climbing mice in the genus Dendromus (sensu lato) are widely distributed in Africa, south of the Saharan Desert. The 17 currently recognized species in the genus range from widespread taxa to single-mountain endemics, and there is considerable variation across species with respect to habitats occupied. These habitats range from arid grasslands and savannahs to sub-alpine and alpine vegetation. Using the most comprehensive geographic and genetic survey to date and after reviewing many type specimens, we assess the systematics and biogeography of Dendromus. Given the structure of our molecular phylogenetic hypotheses, in which we recover six major clades, we propose the recognition of three genera within the Dendromus group (sensu lato): in addition to Dendromus (26 lineages), we suggest the retention of Megadendromus (monotypic) and the resurrection of the genus Poemys (six lineages). From our model-based molecular phylogenetic results and morphological comparisons, we suggest that six formerly synonymized taxa should be resurrected, and we highlight 14 previously undescribed lineages. We also constructed time-calibrations on our phylogeny, and performed ancestral area reconstructions using BioGeoBEARS. Based on fossil evidence, Dendromus appears to have had a widespread African distribution dating back to the Late Miocene (8-10 Ma), and our basal ancestral area reconstruction (Ethiopians Highlands + Eastern African Mountains + Zambezian region) supports this. Divergence of the six major clades we recover (Poemys, Megadendromus and four within Dendromus) occurred prior to or at the Miocene-Pliocene boundary 5.3 Ma. Biogeographically, Megadendromus is restricted to the Ethiopian Highlands. The ancestral area for Poemys is reconstructed as the Zambezian region, with species distributions ranging from South Africa to Western Africa. The ancestral area for Dendromus is reconstructed as the Ethiopian Highlands, with the ancestral areas of the four major clades being reconstructed as Ethiopian Highlands, Albertine Rift, South Africa or Western Africa. None of the four Dendromus clades are reciprocally monophyletic with respect to distributional area.

Abstract
Cyclosporin A (CsA) is a molecule with well-known immunosuppressive properties. As it also acts on the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), CsA has been evaluated for ischemic heart diseases (IHD). However, its distribution throughout the body and its physicochemical characteristics strongly limit the use of CsA for intravenous administration. In this context, nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as an opportunity to circumvent the above-mentioned limitations. We have developed in our laboratory an innovative nanoformulation based on the covalent bond between squalene (Sq) and cyclosporin A to avoid burst release phenomena and increase drug loading. After a thorough characterization of the bioconjugate, we proceeded with a nanoprecipitation in aqueous medium in order to obtain SqCsA NPs of well-defined size. The SqCsA NPs were further characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS), cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryoTEM), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and their cytotoxicity was evaluated. As the goal is to employ them for IHD, we evaluated the cardioprotective capacity on two cardiac cell lines. A strong cardioprotective effect was observed on cardiomyoblasts subjected to experimental hypoxia/reoxygenation. Further research is needed in order to understand the mechanisms of action of SqCsA NPs in cells. This new formulation of CsA could pave the way for possible medical application.

Abstract
The increasing resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to any current antibiotic treatment and the difficulties associated with the use of prevention means such as condom urge the need for alternative methods to prevent this sexually transmitted infection. In this work, a prevention strategy based on the use of a vaginal gel containing Lactobacilli was assessed in vitro. A Lactobacillus crispatus strain (ATCC 33197) was selected based on the published data on its ability to inhibit Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Its probiotic properties were first characterized. Then, a thermo-sensitive hydrogel containing 21.5% of poloxamer 407, 1% of sodium alginate and 9log10 CFU of Lactobacillus crispatus per gel sample (5 g) was developed. The gelation temperature and the rheological characteristics of this formulation appeared suitable for a vaginal administration. Lactobacillus crispatus was viable in the gel for six months although a large amount of the bacteria was not culturable. The ability of Lactobacillus crispatus to inhibit Neisseria gonorrhoeae was still observed with the gel. Such system, thus, appeared promising for the prevention of gonorrhea.

Abstract
Autophagy is a catabolic recycling process by which a cell degrades its own constituents to contribute to cell homeostasis or survival. We report that the small trafficking inhibitor Retro-2 impairs microtubule-dependent vacuolar trafficking in autophagy. Retro-2 induced autophagy and promoted the dramatic cytoplasmic accumulation of large autophagosomes. Moreover, Retro-2 decreased the spreading of autophagosomes within the cytoplasm of nutrient-starved cells. In addition, Retro-2 abolished autolysosomes formation. We show that these effects arise from hitherto unsuspected disassembly activity of the small molecule on the cellular microtubule network, which is known to act as a key regulator of vacuolar trafficking of the autophagy pathway.

Abstract
We conducted a study to decipher the mechanism of the formation of the large communal Leishmania amazonensis-containing parasitophorous vacuole (PV) and found that the macrophage microtubule (MT) network dynamically orchestrates the intracellular lifestyle of this intracellular parasite. Physical disassembly of the MT network of macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells or silencing of the dynein gene, encoding the MT-associated molecular motor that powers MT-dependent vacuolar movement, by siRNA resulted in most of the infected cells hosting only tight parasite-containing phagosome-like vacuoles randomly distributed throughout the cytoplasm, each insulating a single parasite. Only a minority of the infected cells hosted both isolated parasite-containing phagosome-like vacuoles and a small communal PV, insulating a maximum of two to three parasites. The tight parasite-containing phagosome-like vacuoles never matured, whereas the small PVs only matured to a small degree, shown by the absence or faint acquisition of host-cell endolysosomal characteristics. As a consequence, the parasites were unable to successfully complete promastigote-to-amastigote differentiation and died, regardless of the type of insulation.

Abstract
Glyphosate-based herbicides, such as Roundup®, are the most widely used non-selective, broad-spectrum herbicides. The release of these compounds in large amounts into the environment is susceptible to affect soil quality and health, especially because of the non-target effects on a large range of organisms including soil microorganisms. The soil filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, a well-characterized experimental model organism that can be used as a bio-indicator for agricultural soil health, has been previously shown to be highly affected by Roundup GT Plus (R450: 450 g/L of glyphosate) at concentrations far below recommended agricultural application rate, including at a dose that does not cause any macroscopic effect. In this study, we determined alterations in the transcriptome of A. nidulans when exposed to R450 at a dose corresponding to the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for macroscopic parameters. A total of 1816 distinct genes had their expression altered. The most affected biological functions were protein synthesis, amino acids and secondary metabolisms, stress response, as well as detoxification pathways through cytochromes P450, glutathione-S-transferases, and ABC transporters. These results partly explain the molecular mechanisms underlying alterations in growth parameters detected at higher concentrations for this ascomycete fungus. In conclusion, our results highlight molecular disturbances in a soil fungus under conditions of apparent tolerance to the herbicide, and thus confirm the need to question the principle of "substantial equivalence" when applied to plants made tolerant to herbicides.

Abstract
The processes of cell attachment and membrane fusion of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 involve many different envelope glycoproteins. Viral proteins gC and gD bind to cellular receptors. Upon binding, gD activates the gH/gL complex which in turn activates gB to trigger membrane fusion. Thus, these proteins must be located at the point of contact between cellular and viral envelopes to interact and allow fusion. Using super-resolution microscopy, we show that gB, gH/gL and most of gC are distributed evenly round purified virions. In contrast, gD localizes essentially as clusters which are distinct from gB and gH/gL. Upon cell binding, we observe that all glycoproteins, including gD, have a similar ring-like pattern, but the diameter of these rings was significantly smaller than those observed on cell-free viruses. We also observe that contrary to cell-free particles, gD mostly colocalizes with other glycoproteins on cell-bound particles. The differing patterns of localization of gD between cell-free and cell-bound viruses indicates that gD can be reorganized on the viral envelope following either a possible maturation of the viral particle or its adsorption to the cell. This redistribution of glycoproteins upon cell attachment could contribute to initiate the cascade of activations leading to membrane fusion. The envelopes of Herpesvirus particles contain a variety of different proteins that allow them to infect specific cell types. An essential core set of these proteins is designed to allow viral entry into the cell after adsorption by binding to specific receptors and ultimately inducing fusion between the viral and cellular membranes in a regulated way through a succession of interactions between receptor-binding and fusion-triggering viral proteins. We have identified here for the first time the localization patterns of these essential proteins at the surface of purified virions and we describe how their localization changes after cell attachment. These results illustrate how the dynamics of viral proteins at the surface of the viral particle could participate in optimizing the all-important process of cell binding and membrane fusion.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production regulates certain aspects of mitochondria function in rodent cardiomyocytes, such as ATP production, oxygen consumption, calcium import and mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), but how this cAMP pool is controlled is not well known. Here, expression, localization and activity of several cAMP-degrading enzymes, i.e. phosphodiesterases (PDEs), were investigated in isolated rodent cardiac mitochondria. In contrast to the heart ventricle where PDE4 is the major PDE, in cardiac mitochondria, cGMP-stimulated PDE2 activity was largest than PDE3 and PDE4 activities. PDE2 expression was mainly detected in subsarcolemmal mitochondria in association with the inner membrane rather than in interfibrillar mitochondria. PDE2, 3 and 4 activities were further confirmed in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by real time FRET analysis. In addition, the pharmacological inhibition or the cardiac-specific overexpression of PDE2 modulated mitochondrial membrane potential loss, MPT and calcium import. In mitochondria isolated from PDE2 transgenic mice with a cardiac selective PDE2 overexpression, the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) was significantly lower than in wild-type mice, but stimulated by cGMP. Thus, cAMP degradation by PDEs represents a new regulatory mechanism of mitochondrial function.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that the chaperone-like protein CDC48 (cell division cycle 48) plays a role in plant immunity. Cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPX), which is a major regulator of the redox status of plant cells, has previously been shown to interact with CDC48. In this study, we examined the regulation of cAPX by the ATPase NtCDC48 during the cryptogein-induced immune response in tobacco cells. Our results not only confirmed the interaction between the proteins but also showed that it occurs in the cytosol. cAPX accumulation was modified in cells overexpressing NtCDC48, a process that was shown to involve post-translational modification of cAPX. In addition, cryptogein-induced increases in cAPX activity were suppressed in cells overexpressing NtCDC48 and the abundance of the cAPX dimer was below the level of detection. Furthermore, the levels of both reduced (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and the GSH/GSSG ratio decreased more rapidly in response to the elicitor in these cells than in controls. A decrease in cAPX activity was also observed in response to heat shock in the cells overexpressing NtCDC48, indicating that the regulation of cAPX by NtCDC48 is not specific to the immune response.

Abstract
Water-in-oil (W/O) Lipiodol emulsions remain the preferable choice for local delivery of chemotherapy in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, their low stability severely hampers their efficiency. Here, remarkably stable W/O Lipiodol emulsion stabilized by biodegradable particles was developed thanks to Pickering technology. The addition of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles (NPs) into the aqueous-phase of the formulation led to W/O Pickering emulsion by a simple emulsification process through two connected syringes. Influence of nanoparticles concentration and water/oil ratio on emulsion stability and droplet size were studied. All formulated Pickering emulsions were W/O type, stable for at least one month and water droplets size could be tuned by controlling nanoparticle concentration from 24 µm at 25 mg/mL to 69 µm at 5 mg/mL. The potential of these emulsions to efficiently encapsulate chemotherapy was studied through the internalization of doxorubicin (DOX) into the aqueous phase with a water/oil ratio of 1/3 as recommended by the medical community. Loaded-doxorubicin was released from conventional emulsion within a few hours whereas doxorubicin from stable Pickering emulsion took up to 10 days to be completely released. In addition, in vitro cell viability evaluations performed on the components of the emulsion and the Pickering emulsion have shown no significant toxicity up to relatively high concentrations of NPs (3 mg/mL) on two different cell lines: HUVEC and HepG2. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We present an original experimental research in the field of nanotechnology for biomedical applications. In particular, we have formulated, thanks to Pickering technology, a new therapeutic emulsion stabilized with biodegradable PLGA nanoparticles. As far as we know, this is the first therapeutic Pickering emulsion reported in the literature for hepatocellular carcinoma. Such a new emulsion allows to easily prepare a predictable and stable lipiodolized emulsion having all the required characteristics for optimum tumor uptake. As demonstrated throughout our manuscript, emulsions stabilized with these nanoparticles have the advantage of being biodegradable, biocompatible and less toxic compared to usual emulsions stabilized with synthetic surfactants. These findings demonstrate the plausibility of the use of Pickering emulsions for chemoembolization as a therapeutic agent in extended release formulations.

Abstract
Lipid-porphyrin conjugates are considered nowadays as promising building blocks for the conception of supramolecular structures with multifunctional properties, required for efficient cancer therapy by photodynamic therapy (PDT). The synthesis of two new lipid-porphyrin conjugates coupling pheophorbide-a (Pheo-a), a photosensitizer derived from chlorophyll-a, to either chemically modified lyso-phosphatidylcholine (PhLPC) or egg lyso-sphingomyelin (PhLSM) is reported. The impact of the lipid backbone of these conjugates on their self-assembling properties, as well as on their physicochemical properties, including interfacial behavior at the air/buffer interface, fluorescence and absorption properties, thermotropic behavior, and incorporation rate in the membrane of liposomes were studied. Finally, their photodynamic activity was evaluated on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and normal esophageal squamous epithelium cell lines. The liposome-like vesicles resulting from self-assembly of the pure conjugates were unstable and turned into aggregates with undefined structure within few days. However, both lipid-porphyrin conjugates could be efficiently incorporated in lipid vesicles, with higher loading rates than unconjugated Pheo-a. Interestingly, phototoxicity tests of free and liposome-incorporated lipid-porphyrin conjugates demonstrated a better selectivity in vitro to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma relative to normal cells.

Abstract
Pickering emulsions were formulated using biodegradable and biocompatible poly(lactic- co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) prepared without surfactants or any other polymer than PLGA. A pharmaceutical and cosmetic oil (Miglyol) was chosen as the oil phase at a ratio of 10% w/w. These emulsions were then compared with emulsions using the same oil but formulated with well-described PLGA-poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) NPs, i.e., with PVA as NP stabilizers. Strikingly, the emulsions demonstrated very different structures at macroscopic, microscopic, and interfacial scales, depending on the type of NPs used. Indeed, the emulsion layer was significantly thicker when using PLGA NPs rather than PLGA-PVA NPs. This was attributed to the formation and coexistence of multiple water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) and simple oil-in-water (O/W) droplets, using a single step of emulsification, whereas simple O/W emulsions were obtained with PLGA-PVA NPs. The latter NPs were more hydrophilic than bare PLGA NPs because of the presence of PVA at their surface. Moreover, PLGA NPs only slightly lowered the oil/water interfacial tension whereas the decrease was more pronounced with PLGA-PVA NPs. The PVA chains at the PLGA-PVA NP surface could probably partially desorb from the NPs and adsorb at the interface, inducing the interfacial tension decrease. Finally, independent of their composition, NPs were adsorbed at the oil/water interface without influencing its rheological behavior, possibly due to their mobility at their interface. This work has direct implications in the formulation of Pickering emulsions and stresses the paramount influence of the physicochemical nature of the NP surface into the stabilization of these systems.

Abstract
The preclinical drug screening of pancreatic cancer treatments suffers from the absence of appropriate models capable to reproduce in vitro the heterogeneous tumor microenvironment and its stiff desmoplasia. Driven by this pressing need, we describe in this paper the conception and the characterization of a novel 3D tumor model consisting of a triple co-culture of pancreatic cancer cells (PANC-1), fibroblasts (MRC-5) and endothelial cells (HUVEC), which assembled to form a hetero-type multicellular tumor spheroid (MCTS). By histological analyses and Selective Plain Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) we have monitored the spatial distribution of each cell type and the evolution of the spheroid composition. Results revealed the presence of a core rich in fibroblasts and fibronectin in which endothelial cells were homogeneously distributed. The integration of the three cell types enabled to reproduce in vitro with fidelity the influence of the surrounding environment on the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a scaffold-free pancreatic cancer spheroid model combining both tumor and multiple stromal components has been designed. It holds the possibility to become an advantageous tool for a pertinent assessment of the efficacy of various therapeutic strategies. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Pancreatic tumor microenvironment is characterized by abundant fibrosis and aberrant vasculature. Aiming to reproduce in vitro these features, cancer cells have been already co-cultured with fibroblasts or endothelial cells separately but the integration of both these essential components of the pancreatic tumor microenvironment in a unique system, although urgently needed, was still missing. In this study, we successfully integrated cellular and acellular microenvironment components (i.e., fibroblasts, endothelial cells, fibronectin) in a hetero-type scaffold-free multicellular tumor spheroid. This new 3D triple co-culture model closely mimicked the resistance to treatments observed in vivo, resulting in a reduction of cancer cell sensitivity to the anticancer treatment.

Abstract
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous organisms present in various natural and artificial environments, such as drinking water storage towers (DWST). Some FLA, such as Acanthamoeba sp., Naegleria fowleri, and Balamuthia mandrillaris, can cause severe infections at ocular or cerebral level in addition to being potential reservoirs of other pathogens. In this work, the abundance and diversity of FLA was evaluated in two sampling campaigns: one performed over five seasons in three DWST at three different levels (surface, middle and bottom) in water and biofilm using microscopy and PCR, and one based on the kinetics analysis in phase contrast and confocal microscopy of biofilm samples collected every two weeks during a 3-month period at the surface and at the bottom of a DWST. In the seasonal study, the FLA were detected in each DWST water in densities of ~20 to 25amoebaeL-1. A seasonal variation of amoeba distribution was observed in water samples, with maximal densities in summer at ~30amoebaeL-1 and minimal densities in winter at ~16amoebaeL-1. The FLA belonging to the genus Acanthamoeba were detected in two spring sampling campaigns, suggesting a possible seasonal appearance of this potentially pathogenic amoeba. Interestingly, a 1 log increase of amoebae density was observed in biofilm samples collected at the surface of all DWST compared to the middle and the bottom where FLA were at 0.1-0.2amoebae/cm2. In the kinetics study, an increase of amoebae density, total cell density, and biofilm thickness was observed as a function of time at the surface of the DWST, but not at the bottom. To our knowledge, this study describes for the first time a marked higher FLA density in biofilms collected at upper water levels in DWST, constituting a potential source of pathogenic micro-organisms.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active polymer prodrug nanoparticles were readily prepared by growing short, well-defined polymer chains from an AIE dye by nitroxide-mediated polymerization, followed by co-nanoprecipitation of the resulting conjugates with similarly constructed anticancer polymer prodrugs. The nanoparticles had sharp fluorescence signal offering excellent imaging ability in living cells and their intra cellular localization to be accurately monitored.

Abstract
This article presents a case of unsuccessful pharmaceutical and invasive pain treatment for 6 years without any adequate diagnostics in a female suffering from unilateral thoracic radiculopathy (Th8, right) leading to severe disability and unemployment. The origin was an undetected Tarlov cyst. After resection of the cyst the pain and other complaints disappeared (follow up: 8 months) without need for further pain medication. This case underlines the necessity of adequate diagnostics ahead of long-term pain treatment. Thoracic Tarlov cysts are very uncommon but should be included in the differential diagnosis because curative treatment may be possible.

Abstract
Roundup® is a glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) used worldwide both in agriculture and private gardens. Thus, it constitutes a substantial source of environmental contaminations, especially for water and soil, and may impact a number of non-target organisms essential for ecosystem balance. The soil filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans has been shown to be highly affected by a commercial formulation of Roundup® (R450), containing 450 g/L of glyphosate (GLY), at doses far below recommended agricultural application rate. In the present study, we used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis combined to mass spectrometry to analyze proteomic pattern changes in A. nidulans exposed to R450 at a dose corresponding to the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for macroscopic parameters (31.5 mg/L GLY among adjuvants). Comparative analysis revealed a total of 82 differentially expressed proteins between control and R450-treated samples, and 85% of them (70) were unambiguously identified. Their molecular functions were mainly assigned to cell detoxification and stress response (16%), protein synthesis (14%), amino acid metabolism (13%), glycolysis/gluconeogenesis/glycerol metabolism/pentose phosphate pathway (13%) and Krebs TCA cycle/acetyl-CoA synthesis/ATP metabolism (10%). These results bring new insights into the understanding of the toxicity induced by higher doses of this herbicide in the soil model organism A. nidulans. To our knowledge, this study represents the first evidence of protein expression modulation and, thus, possible metabolic disturbance, in response to an herbicide treatment at a dose that does not cause any visible effect. These data are likely to challenge the concept of "substantial equivalence" when applied to herbicide-tolerant plants.

Abstract
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a major healthcare-associated disease with high recurrence rates. Host colonization is critical for the infectious process, both in first episodes and in recurrent disease, with biofilm formation playing a key role. The ability of C. difficile to form a biofilm on abiotic surfaces is established, but has not yet been confirmed in the intestinal tract. Here, four different isolates of C. difficile, which are in vitro biofilm producers, were studied for their ability to colonize germ-free mice. The level of colonization achieved was similar for all isolates in the different parts of the murine gastrointestinal tract, but pathogen burden was higher in the cecum and colon. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that C. difficile bacteria were distributed heterogeneously over the intestinal tissue, without contact with epithelial cells. The R20291 strain, which belongs to the Ribotype 027 lineage, displayed a unique behavior compared to the other strains by forming numerous aggregates. By immunochemistry analyses, we showed that bacteria were localized inside and outside the mucus layer, irrespective of the strains tested. Most bacteria were entrapped in 3-D structures overlaying the mucus layer. For the R20291 strain, the cell-wall associated polysaccharide PS-II was detected in large amounts in the 3-D structure. As this component has been detected in the extrapolymeric matrix of in vitro C. difficile biofilms, our data suggest strongly that at least the R20291 strain is organized in the mono-associated mouse model in glycan-rich biofilm architecture, which sustainably maintains bacteria outside the mucus layer.

Abstract
A multivalent phosphorus dendrimer 1G3 and its corresponding Cu-complex, 1G3-Cu have been recently identified as agents retaining high antiproliferative potency. This antiproliferative capacity was preserved in cell lines overexpressing the efflux pump ABC B1, whereas cross-resistance was observed in ovarian cancer cell lines resistant to cisplatin. Theoretical 3D models were constructed: the dendrimers appear as irregularly shaped disk-like nano-objects of about 22 Å thickness and 49 Å diameter, which accumulated in cells after penetration by endocytosis. To get insight in their mode of action, cell death pathways have been examined in human cancer cell lines: early apoptosis was followed by secondary necrosis after multivalent phosphorus dendrimers exposure. The multivalent plain phosphorus dendrimer 1G3 moderately activated caspase-3 activity, in contrast with the multivalent Cu-conjugated phosphorus dendrimer 1G3-Cu which strikingly reduced the caspase-3 content and activity. This decrease of caspase activity is not related to the presence of copper, since inorganic copper has no or little effect on caspase-3. Conversely the potent apoptosis activation could be related to a noticeable translocation of Bax to the mitochondria, resulting in the release of AIF into the cytosol, its translocation to the nucleus and a severe DNA fragmentation, without alteration of the cell cycle. The multivalent Cu-conjugated phosphorus dendrimer is more efficient than its non-complexed analog to activate this pathway in close relationship with the higher antiproliferative potency. Therefore, this multivalent Cu-conjugated phosphorus dendrimer 1G3-Cu can be considered as a new and promising first-in-class antiproliferative agent with a distinctive mode of action, inducing apoptosis tumor cell death through Bax activation pathway.

Abstract
AIMS Our aim was to investigate the outcomes of patients with a displaced fracture of the glenoid fossa who are treated conservatively. There is little information in the literature about the treatment of these rare injuries non-operatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed 24 patients with a mean age of 52 years (19 to 81) at a mean of 5.6 years (11 months to 18 years) after the injury. RESULTS At final follow-up, the mean Constant and Murley score was 79 points (18 to 98); the mean Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index score (WOSI) was 77% (12 to 100) and the mean Rowe score was 93 points (50 to 100). Fractures with little intra-articular displacement (≤ 3 mm) had an uneventful outcome. Those with intra-articular displacement of ≤ 3 mm had a significant better mean Constant and Murley score than those with displacement of ≥ 5 mm and/or a fracture gap of ≥ 5 mm. Poor clinical results such as nonunion and post-traumatic osteoarthritis were associated with displaced or angulated glenoid fragments and significant intra-articular displacement. CONCLUSION Glenoid fossa fractures with displacement of ≥ 5 mm should be treated surgically if the patient's condition allows. Displacement and angulation can lead to nonunion and a poor outcome if the degree of displacement results in a persistent fracture gap in the glenoid fossa or if the angulation of fragments leads to malunion.

Abstract
PURPOSE To in vitro investigate the capacity of carrier-free and lipid-nanoparticle (NP)-encapsulated phytochemical compounds to prevent neuronal damage through neurotrophin potentiating activities. Delivery of molecules promoting the neurotrophin receptor signaling in the central nervous system (CNS) present ongoing interest for combination therapy development. METHODS Super-resolution Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy imaging and flow cytometry analysis were employed to study the expression of the neurotrophin TrkB receptor in a neuronal cell model, which is highly responsive to binding of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Dual drug-loaded nanoparticle formulations, prepared by self-assembly of lyotropic lipids and PEGylated amphiphile derivatives, were delivered to differentiated human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells subjected to degenerative conditions. RESULTS The expression of BDNF in the intra and extracellular domains was quantified by ELISA and flow cytometry after sequential treatment of the degenerating SH-SY5Y cells by neurotherapeutic formulations. Flow cytometry was also used to assess the phosphorylation of the transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) in the intracellular domain as a result of the treatment by nanoformulations. CONCLUSION Over time, dual drug formulations (curcumin and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) promoted the neuronal survival and repair processes through enhanced BDNF secretion and increased phosphorylation of CREB as compared to untreated degenerating cells.

Abstract
Ag sampling is a key process in dendritic cell (DC) biology. DCs use constitutive macropinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and phagocytosis to capture exogenous Ags for presentation to T cells. We investigated the mechanisms that regulate Ag uptake by DCs in the steady-state and after a short-term LPS exposure in vitro and in vivo. We show that the glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper protein (GILZ), already known to regulate effector versus regulatory T cell activation by DCs, selectively limits macropinocytosis, but not receptor-mediated phagocytosis, in immature and recently activated DCs. In vivo, the GILZ-mediated inhibition of Ag uptake is restricted to the CD8α+ DC subset, which expresses the highest GILZ level among splenic DC subsets. In recently activated DCs, we further establish that GILZ limits p38 MAPK phosphorylation, providing a possible mechanism for GILZ-mediated macropinocytosis control. Finally, our results demonstrate that the modulation of Ag uptake by GILZ does not result in altered Ag presentation to CD4 T cells but impacts the efficiency of cross-presentation to CD8 T cells. Altogether, our results identify GILZ as an endogenous inhibitor of macropinocytosis in DCs, the action of which contributes to the fine-tuning of Ag cross-presentation.

Abstract
We present a cost-effective metabarcoding approach, aMPlex Torrent, which relies on an improved multiplex PCR adapted to highly degraded DNA, combining barcoding and next-generation sequencing to simultaneously analyse many heterogeneous samples. We demonstrate the strength of these improvements by generating a phylochronology through the genotyping of ancient rodent remains from a Moroccan cave whose stratigraphy covers the last 120 000 years. Rodents are important for epidemiology, agronomy and ecological investigations and can act as bioindicators for human- and/or climate-induced environmental changes. Efficient and reliable genotyping of ancient rodent remains has the potential to deliver valuable phylogenetic and paleoecological information. The analysis of multiple ancient skeletal remains of very small size with poor DNA preservation, however, requires a sensitive high-throughput method to generate sufficient data. We show this approach to be particularly adapted at accessing this otherwise difficult taxonomic and genetic resource. As a highly scalable, lower cost and less labour-intensive alternative to targeted sequence capture approaches, we propose the aMPlex Torrent strategy to be a useful tool for the genetic analysis of multiple degraded samples in studies involving ecology, archaeology, conservation and evolutionary biology.

Abstract
The toxicity of polymeric biodegradable nanoparticles was evaluated on a co-culture made from direct contact of human lung alveolar epithelial cells (A459) and macrophages (differentiated THP-1 monocytes). The co-culture was characterized by its phenotype and by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Cytokine secretion induced by lipopolysaccharide was synergistically increased in the co-culture confirming cell-cell interactions. Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-based nanoparticles of 200 nm were prepared in presence of hydrophilic polymers commonly used as stabilizers [poly(vinyl alcohol), chitosan and poloxamer 188] through their interaction with particle surface. Stabilizer-free PLGA nanoparticles and stabilizers alone were also evaluated as controls. Selective uptake kinetics of PLGA nanoparticles by cell subpopulations, as well as apoptosis/necrosis detection, was achieved using a specific label for each cell type, while cytokine secretions were quantified in culture supernatants. Both cell subpopulations took up PLGA nanoparticles with similar profiles, and induced only little cytotoxicity (mostly necrosis). A mild inflammatory response to stabilized nanoparticles was detected (compared to well-known inflammatory compounds), slightly higher than the one observed for stabilizer-free PLGA nanoparticles or stabilizing agents taken individually. These results demonstrate that although biodegradable nanoparticles can be considered as safe, they can internalize compounds such as the stabilizing agents which enhance their toxicity.

Abstract
Soil microorganisms are highly exposed to glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH), especially to Roundup® which is widely used worldwide. However, studies on the effects of GBH formulations on specific non-rhizosphere soil microbial species are scarce. We evaluated the toxicity of a commercial formulation of Roundup® (R450), containing 450 g/L of glyphosate (GLY), on the soil filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, an experimental model microorganism. The median lethal dose (LD50) on solid media was between 90 and 112 mg/L GLY (among adjuvants, which are also included in the Roundup® formulation), which corresponds to a dilution percentage about 100 times lower than that used in agriculture. The LOAEL and NOAEL (lowest- and no-observed-adverse-effect levels) associated to morphology and growth were 33.75 and 31.5 mg/L GLY among adjuvants, respectively. The formulation R450 proved to be much more active than technical GLY. At the LD50 and lower concentrations, R450 impaired growth, cellular polarity, endocytosis, and mitochondria (average number, total volume and metabolism). In contrast with the depletion of mitochondrial activities reported in animal studies, R450 caused a stimulation of mitochondrial enzyme activities, thus revealing a different mode of action of Roundup® on energetic metabolism. These mitochondrial disruptions were also evident at a low dose corresponding to the NOAEL for macroscopic parameters, indicating that these mitochondrial biomarkers are more sensitive than those for growth and morphological ones. Altogether, our data indicate that GBH toxic effects on soil filamentous fungi, and thus potential impairment of soil ecosystems, may occur at doses far below recommended agricultural application rate.

Abstract
Although cardiac cytosolic cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) regulates multiple processes, such as beating, contractility, metabolism and apoptosis, little is known yet on the role of this second messenger within cardiac mitochondria. Using cellular and subcellular approaches, we demonstrate here the local expression of several actors of cAMP signaling within cardiac mitochondria, namely a truncated form of soluble AC (sACt) and the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 1 (Epac1), and show a protective role for sACt against cell death, apoptosis as well as necrosis in primary cardiomyocytes. Upon stimulation with bicarbonate (HCO3(-)) and Ca(2+), sACt produces cAMP, which in turn stimulates oxygen consumption, increases the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and ATP production. cAMP is rate limiting for matrix Ca(2+) entry via Epac1 and the mitochondrial calcium uniporter and, as a consequence, prevents mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). The mitochondrial cAMP effects involve neither protein kinase A, Epac2 nor the mitochondrial Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. In addition, in mitochondria isolated from failing rat hearts, stimulation of the mitochondrial cAMP pathway by HCO3(-) rescued the sensitization of mitochondria to Ca(2+)-induced MPT. Thus, our study identifies a link between mitochondrial cAMP, mitochondrial metabolism and cell death in the heart, which is independent of cytosolic cAMP signaling. Our results might have implications for therapeutic prevention of cell death in cardiac pathologies.
