Human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells adhere to underlying extracellular matrix (ECM) via integrin-type transmembrane receptors. Integrins link the ECM to the cytoskeleton (CSK), establishing a mechanical continuum by which forces are transmitted between the outside and the inside of the cells. The present study investigates the time course of global and actin CSK stiffness of HBE cells (16HBE14o-) growing on various matrix substrates as a function of culture time until confluence, and the concomitant time course of F-actin and adhesion molecule distribution. Our results showed a progressive increase in actin CSK stiffness from cell seeding to confluence, related to acquisition of highly polymerized cortical and cytosolic F-actin organization and up-regulation of certain matrix ligands, such as beta 1-, alpha 5-, and alpha v-integrin subunit expression. Moreover, compared to fibrillar type I collagen, reticular type IV collagen used as matrix substrate, appeared to amplify actin CSK stiffness of HBE confluent cells probably in relation to up-regulation of alpha 3-integrin subunit. Taken together, these results support the concept of a close interaction among actin CSK stiffness, structural actin organization, specific integrin molecule involvement, cell spreading, and extracellular matrix.

BackgroundPAPRICA is a research program designed to estimate the impact on the health of patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency of a prevention strategy based on notification of ozone pollution. The first year of this study was conducted during the 2003 heat wave, and high temperatures were therefore considered as a confounding factor in the data analysis. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between ozone and temperature in order to propose a methodology to distinguish between the effects of ozone and temperature on the impact of a prevention strategy with regard to ozone pollution.MethodsMultivariate analyses were used to identify associated climate and ozone pollution profiles. This descriptive method is of great value to highlight the complexity of interactions between these parameters.ResultsOzone concentration and temperature were strongly correlated, but the health impact of ozone pollution alone will be evaluated by focusing on situations characterized by ozone concentrations above 110 μg/m3/8h (air quality guidelines to protect human health defined by the French legislation) and temperatures lower than 26°C, below the discomfort threshold.ConclusionThe precise relationship between ambient ozone concentration and temperature identified during the PAPRICA 2003 study period will be used in analysing the PAPRICA health data.

Cell-extracellular matrix interactions, regulated in part by beta1-integrins, play a key role in the recirculation of T lymphocytes and tissue infiltration in inflammatory and immune responses. HIV infection may affect CD4+ T cell adhesion, and the trafficking and migration of these cells, which are crucial for foreign antigen recognition. We investigated this by studying the expression of the beta1-integrin chains CD29 and CD49c, -d, -e, and -f, on in vitro HIV-infected primary T cells. We also assessed fibronectin binding and production by CD4+ lymphocytes. X4 (HIV-1/LAI), R5 (HIV-1/Ba-L), and X4R5 (HIV-2/ROD) strains, and X4R5 primary isolates (HIV-1/DAS, HIV-1/THI), with different cytopathogenicity and replication kinetics, were used. Beta1-integrin expression on CD4+ and CD4- T cell subpopulations was regulated by cell activation with phytohemagglutinin-P and interleukin 2, but was unaffected by HIV infection, even at the peak of viral replication and CD4+ cell depletion. Similarly, fibronectin binding to CD4+ lymphocytes was not affected by HIV infection. This suggests that infected lymphocytes may be able to extravasate, migrate, and recirculate within the body until their death.

Introduction L’aerosol-therapie delivre de fortes concentrations intra-pulmonaires de medicament en diminuant la toxicite systemi-que. Notre objectif etait d’evaluer la faisabilite et l’efficacite d’une administration de gemcitabine par aerosol. Methodes Etape 1: Etude de la tolerance de doses croissantes de gemcitabine en aerosols hebdomadaires chez le rat avec quantification isotopique du depot pulmonaire. Etape 2 : Etude de l’effet de la gemcitabine en aerosols sur la croissance tumorale dans un modele orthotopique de cancer bronchique. 2,5 x 10 cellules NCI-H460 etaient implantees en endobronchique chez 24 souris balb-c nude a JO. La gemcitabine en aerorols hebdomadaires a 8 et 12 mg/kg de J1 a J29 etait comparee a un aerosol de serum physiologique avec autopsie a J36. Etape 3 : Caracterisation d’un aerosol de gemcitabine genere par le nebuliseur pneumatique Atomisor NL9M ® ; etude in vitro par test MTT des proprietes cytotoxiques de la gemcitabine nebulisee sur les lignees tumorales NCI-H460 et A549 ; Modelisation d’une administration de gemcitabine en aerosol chez le primate : conditions de confinement, monitoring isotopique du depot et etude pharmacocinetique. Resultats Etape 1 : La gemcitabine en aerorol est bien toleree chez le rat jusqu’a la dose maximale de 4 a 6 mg/kg/semaines pendant 9 semaines, sans signe histologique de toxicite pulmonaire. (Gagnadoux V, J Aerosol Med 2005) Etape 2 : A des doses equivalentes chez la souris nude, la gemcitabine en aerosols previent la croissance tumorale dans 31 % des cas et diminue le diametre tumoral de 59 % (p = 0,008) dans les autres cas (Gagnadoux F, Eur Respir J , sous presse). Etape 3 : La nebulisation pneumatique n’altere pas les proprietes cytotoxiques de la gemcitabine. La granulometrie de l’aerosol est compatible avec un depot dans les voies aeriennes intra-thoraciques (MMAD = 3,7 ± 0,8 μm). Neufs aerosols de gemcitabine chez 3 babouins a la dose de 1 mg/kg/semaine controlee par methode isotopique n’ont pas engendre de signe clinique ni histologique de toxicite. Le pic plasmatique de gemcitabine est 25 fois plus faible qu’apres 1 mg/kg IV chez le chien (Kawai M, 1995). Conclusions Ces resultats permettent de proposer une etude de phase I chez l’homme, en cours de preparation.

074 PAPRICA Pollution Aérienne et Pathologie Respiratoire : Impact de la Communication sur l’Air

Introduction Gaz oxydant puissant, l’ozone est l’un des principaux polluants de l’air. La loi sur l’air de 1996 definit le seuil d’information du public a 180 μg/m 3 /h. Cependant, plusieurs etudes ont montre que l’ozone a des effets nocifs sur la sante des personnes fragiles sur le plan respiratoire a partir d’une concentration de 110 μg/m 3 prolongee au moins 8 heures. Le reseau PAPRICA regroupe differents partenaires de la region Centre concernes par la pollution atmospherique et son impact sur la sante. Il est destine a tester l’hypothese qu’une information anticipee des depassements du seuil de 110 μg/m 3 /8h d’ozone dans l’air pourrait etre benefique a la sante de personnes atteintes d’insuffisance respiratoire chronique (IRC). Methodes L’etude s’est deroulee au cours de l’ete 2003. Un systeme de prevision des depassements du seuil de 110 μg/m 3 /8h d’ozone dans l’air a ete mis en place en Region Centre. Nous avons constitue 2 groupes comparables de patients en terme de pathologie (IRC obstructive et restrictive) et d’appareillage (O 2 ≤2 1/min, O 2 > 2 1/min, nebuliseur). Lors de la prevision d’un depassement du seuil de 110 μg/m 3 /8h d’ozone dans l’air pour le jour suivant, un message d’alerte a ete envoye a la moitie des patients (groupe 1, 56 patients). Le groupe 2 (temoin, 56 patients) n’a pas recu cette information. Une analyse comparative de la consommation medicale (consommation de medicaments de l’appareil respiratoire, de corticoides et d’antibiotiques, consultations aupres de professionnels de sante et admissions hospitalieres), de l’etat de sante global (questionnaire journalier simple) et de la qualite de vie (questionnaire respiratoire du Saint Georges Hospital) a ete realisee entre les patients des 2 groupes. Resultats Les patients informes (groupe 1) ont eu moins de symptomes respiratoires, ont moins consomme de medicaments et d’oxygene et ont moins fait appel aux professionnels de sante que les patients non informes (groupe 2). D’autre part, les analyses realisees sur le cout global de la consommation medicale indiquent que la somme des soins rembourses est moins elevee pour les patients informes. Conclusion Les patients ont une meilleure perception de leur etat de sante et de leur qualite de vie ainsi qu’une consommation de soins moins importante lorsqu’ils ont ete informes a l’avance des depassements du seuil de 110 μg/m 3 /8h d’ozone dans l’air.
