The growing prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes complicates risk and clinical management by potentiating and/or exacerbating hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and cardiomyopathy, leading to increasing use of the term “cardiometabolic disease” (CMD) to encompass the many facets of this complex syndrome. The inventors assessed the role of the soluble epoxide hydrolase (she) phosphatase domain in metabolism and cardiovascular system, by generating sEH phosphatase knock-in (KI) animals (rats). They unexpectedly revealed that inhibition of the phosphatase domain of sEH improves cardiac systolic function, decreases body weight and increases insulin sensitivity. Moreover under high fat diet, the animals have a decreased body weight gain, were protected against the development of insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis and cardiac hypertrophy. Inhibition of the phosphatase domain of sEH thus represents a new pharmacological target in the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical and food compositions for inducing satiation and prolonging satiety in subjects in need thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of inducing satiation in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a ClpB protein or an effective amount of a bacterium that expresses the ClpB protein.

The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of autoimmune inflammatory diseases. The inventors showed that orexin receptor antagonists have anti-inflammatory properties. Indeed, these compounds are antagonist for OX1R-mediated calcium mobilization but a full agonist for OX1R-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis, which is the mechanism involved in the improvement of resolution of inflammation observed in the models of colitis, multiple sclerosis and pancreatitis. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of treating an autoimmune inflammatory disease in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one OX1R antagonist.

The invention relates to fluorescent/fluorogenic probes of formula (I″) or (II″): wherein Z is chosen between: —NH2 and —OH, or in the fluorescence quencher group consisting of: —NO2; —N═N—R1; R1 being any organic group that does not obscure the corresponding azo bond; —NHCO-Pept.; Pept. being a peptide residue or any organic group that does not obscure the corresponding amide bond; —O-Glyc.; Glyc. being a oligoglycoside residue that does not obscure the corresponding glycosidic bond; —O—C(O)—R2; —O—P(O)(OR2)(OR2′) and —O—S(O)2—R2; R2 and R2′ being independently a hydrogen atom or an organic group that does not obscure the corresponding ester bond; and Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd and Re being independently a hydrogen atom or any organic group that does not obscure the corresponding arylether bond so as not to prevent its possible cleavage by a myeloperoxidase activity. It also relates to the use of these fluorescent/fluorogenic probes, for the detection of an enzyme activity, notably in order to identify/discriminate microorganisms in function of their ability to express particular enzyme activities.
摘要:
A composition essentially made of a Hafnia alvei probiotic strain expressing the ClpB protein; wherein the ClpB protein is in an amount of at least 0.7% (w/w) in weight relative to the total weight of the composition; and the ratio of the total number of Hafnia alvei Colony Forming Units to the total Hafnia alvei cell number ranges from 10−4 to 0.8. Also, oral dosage forms, namely gastro-resistant capsules including the composition of essentially made of a Hafnia alvei probiotic strain expressing the ClpB protein.

The present invention relates to methods and kits of determining whether a subject is susceptible to have a hyper-aggressive behaviour. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for determining whether a subject is susceptible to have a hyper-aggressive behaviour comprising the steps consisting of i) isolating the auto antibodies that bind to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from a blood sample obtained from the subject, ii) determining the affinity of the isolated autoantibodies iii) comparing the affinity determined at step ii) with a predetermined reference value and iv) concluding that the subject is susceptible to have a hyper-aggressive behaviour when the affinity determined at step ii) is higher than the predetermined reference value.

The present invention relates to methods and kits for testing the genotoxicity of an agent. In particular, the present invention provides a global assay for the measurement of genotoxic stress based on p53 target gene induction. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for testing the genotoxicity of an agent comprising the steps consisting of i) providing a population of test cells, ii) exposing the populations of test cells with the agent to be tested, iii) determining the expression level of at least one p53 target gene selected from the group consisting of ATF3, BBC3, CABYR, C10ORF10; EMX1; FHL2, GLS2; GRHL3; HES2; IGF-BP4; KIAA0284; PODXL1; RRAD; TP53I3, and XPC in the population of test cells exposed to the agent to be tested iv) comparing the expression level determined at step iii) with the expression level determined when the population of test cells was not exposed to the agent to be tested, and v) concluding that the agent is genotoxic when the expression level determined at step iii) is higher than the level determined when the population of test cells was not exposed to the agent to be tested.
摘要:
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) also called also called Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), is the most frequent valvular heart disease in Europe and affects more than 1 in 4 people over 65 years old. AS progression from fibrotic thickening to valvular leaflets calcification leads to heart failure development and eventually to death within 2 to 5 years after symptoms occurrence. The inventors now show that EZH2 inhibition with GSK-126 and GSK-343 directly regulates monocyte and M1 toward M2 macrophage differentiation, reducing VIC deactivation and osteoblastic transition and thus represents an attractive therapeutic target to prevent AS progression. Therefore, the present invention relates to use of EZH2 inhibitors for the treatment of aortic valve stenosis.
