▼ Para melhor compreender a fisiopatologia que afeta a musculatura do sistema estomatognático, a análise eletromiográfica dos músculos da mastigação tem sido incluída em muitos estudos. A eletromiografia (EMG) permite verificar e avaliar a eficácia muscular, entre os músculos de ambos os lados do corpo (simetria) e entre pares de músculos, com um possível efeito de desvio lateral da mandíbula (torque) (Ferrario et al., 1999, 2002). O objetivo desse trabalho foi estudar por meio da EMG de superfície os músculos
masseter (porção superficial) e temporal (porção anterior) bilateralmente, e verificar o efeito do uso da placa oclusal resiliente, como um dos recursos para o tratamento das desordens temporomandibulares (DTMs), e comparar com um grupo controle. Foram envolvidos 23 indivíduos com sinais e sintomas de DTM, avaliados clinicamente, que receberam depois tratamento com placas oclusais resilientes. Para estabelecer a presença ou ausência de DTM, foi utilizado o Research Diagnostic Criteria for
Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD); além de registrar a atividade EMG dos músculos
masseter e temporal, bilateralmente, antes (inicial Etapa 1), 30 (Etapa 2) e 60 dias após o uso da placa oclusal resiliente (Etapa 3) (Pettengill et al., 1998); relacionar os achados eletromiográficos com a avaliação clínica da oclusão e das funções estomatognáticas; comparar os resultados de uma população com DTM e o grupo controle de 23 indivíduos. As avaliações EMG foram registradas por meio de movimentos de mastigação e das condições clínicas de repouso, lateralidade com contato bilateral, protrusão e apertamento dental. A análise estatística foi realizada com o emprego do software SPSS versão 15.0 (Chicago, IL, USA). Devido ao fato de que foi rejeitada a hipótese de normalidade da grande maioria das variáveis (Teste de Shapiro-Wilks) foram utilizados métodos não-paramétricos na análise. O nível de significância adotado foi p ≤0,05. Os dados dos grupos controle e DTM foram comparados por meio do teste não-paramétrico de Mann-Whitney, e as comparações intragrupo DTM (inicial, 30 e 60 dias de uso de placa) foram realizadas por meio do teste não-paramétrico de Wilcoxon. De acordo com os resultados, na condição clínica de repouso, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na comparação entre os grupos controle e DTM; e foi observado diferença estatisticamente significativa intra-grupo de DTM. Na condição clínica de lateralidade direita, houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na comparação entre os grupos controle e DTM, e na comparação intra-grupo de DTM, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa. Entretanto, na condição clínica de lateralidade esquerda, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na comparação entre os grupos controle e DTM, e na comparação intra-grupo DTM. Na condição clínica de protrusão, na comparação entre os grupos controle e DTM, e na comparação intra-grupo de DTM, houve diferença estatisticamente significativa. Na condição clínica de apertamento de parafilme, houve diferença…

▼ Immune cells such as mast cells and macrophages play important roles in initiating, perpetuating, and resolving inflammation. These cells release soluble factors that mediate the common features of inflammation in both health and disease. Whilst many mediators have been identified and characterised, the function of other released mediators remains unclear. Preliminary studies in our laboratory have identified macrophage capping protein (CapG) as a novel factor released from mast cells. Intracellular CapG is known to be a regulator of actin polymerisation. However, extracellular CapG is also known to be constitutively secreted from resting macrophages and found to be elevated in inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. However, the function of this protein at the extracellular level remains unclear. We hypothesised that CapG is a novel inflammatory mediator that contributes to inflammation.
The main findings of this thesis are as below:
1. CapG is predominantly expressed intracellularly in immune cells in both primary and immortalised macrophages and mast cell lines.
2. CapG is released from activated mast cells and macrophages, including microglia. Furthermore, release of CapG from LPS-stimulated macrophages is mediated through TLR4 and is modulated by the anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid dexamethasone.
3. Messenger RNA levels of CapG are downregulated in LPS-stimulated macrophages. However, CapG message levels are elevated in tissue samples obtained from mouse models of inflammation, as well as in human brain samples obtained from post-mortem Alzheimer’s disease sufferers.
4. To facilitate an examination of the extracellular role of CapG, we have developed a human CapG mammalian expression system that was functionally validated using actin polymerisation assays.
5. Recombinant CapG was shown to significantly induce pro-inflammatory cytokine release from a variety of different cell types.
In summary, we have shown CapG is released following immune cell activation and is able to trigger pro-inflammatory cytokine release from other cells. Combined, the studies in this thesis reveal extracellular CapG as a novel pro-inflammatory mediator. The regulation of CapG at the gene level also points to a role in ongoing inflammatory diseases. This thesis sets the foundation for further analysis of the role of CapG in inflammatory diseases through the use of mice with knockout of the CapG gene or with CapG neutralising antibodies. Such studies will identify if CapG is indeed a novel therapeutic target to alleviate the burden of chronic inflammatory diseases.

▼ A eletromiografia de superfície (EMG) pode ser considerada atualmente um instrumento muito útil, que permite a avaliação quantitativa da musculatura de pacientes com desordem
temporomandibular (DTM). O propósito do presente estudo foi aplicar e analisar os efeitos do protocolo FARC de tratamento de DTM com placa oclusal e controle eletromiográfico, comparando os dados da avaliação, de 15 pacientes com DTM, classificados segundo o RDC / TMD, antes e após o tratamento; os resultados da EMG obtidos antes, durante e após o uso da placa por 45 dias, pelo grupo com DTM; e comparando os resultados da EMG de uma população com DTM antes e após o tratamento com placa, com um grupo controle. O exame eletromiográfico dos músculos
masseter e temporal anterior foi realizado na primeira sessão de avaliação (Etapa 1), após 1 semana (Etapa 2) e após 5 semanas (Etapa 3) de tratamento, servindo para verificar a estabilidade da placa e a evolução da atividade muscular. As ondas da EMG foram analisadas, por meio do software, e os seguintes índices de EMG foram computados: coeficiente de porcentagem de sobreposição (POC) dos músculos
masseter e temporal; coeficiente de torque (TORS); índice de assimetria (ASIM), índice de atividade (ATTIV) e o total da atividade elétrica (IMP). Para os dados expressos em nível intervalar de mensuração, foi empregada estatística não-paramétrica, sendo empregado o teste de Wilcoxon para dados pareados nas análises intra-grupo (entre as etapas). Os dados em nível de razão, foram analisados por meio de estatística paramétrica, sendo empregados para as análises intra-grupo o teste t para dados pareados, para as análises entre grupos o teste t para amostras independentes. O nível de significância estabelecido foi de 5%. Após o tratamento, foi encontrada diferença estatística na capacidade de abertura da boca, assim como na remissão da dor a palpação de grande parte da musculatura avaliada e na ATM. Foi obtida diferença significante no valor de POC do
masseter e de IMP, imediatamente após o primeiro ajuste da placa. Quando comparada a etapa 1, sem a placa, com a etapa 2, com a placa ajustada, foi obtida diferença significante nos valores de POC do
masseter, de ASIM e de IMP. Houve diferença significante entre as etapas 1, sem placa, e a etapa 3, com placa, nos valores de POC dos músculos
masseter e temporal, de ASIM, ATTIV e IMP. Durante todo o tratamento não houve diferença significativa nos índices de EMG dos exames realizados sem a placa. Houve diferença estatística entre os grupos DTM e controle no início e ao final do tratamento, sendo observada diferença significante nos valores de EMG para POC de ambos os músculos e ATTIV. A placa oclusal, embora não tenha mostrado mudanças permanentes, mostrou ser efetiva para promover equilíbrio das atividades da EMG durante seu uso, e eficiente no alívio dos sintomas. Os parâmetros de pesquisa com EMG permitiram seu uso no âmbito cientifico na identificação do desequilíbrio neuromuscular, desta forma este instrumento de avaliação permitiu analisar e avaliar de forma…

▼ Objectives: Previous studies in the Oral Neurophysiology Laboratories in Dundee have defined the electromyographic properties of the inhibitory jaw reflex that can be evoked in human subjects by electrical stimulation of the lip. This reflex, in contrast with the more widely studied biphasic inhibitory reflexes evoked by stimulation of intra-oral nerves, consists of just a single phase of inhibition and usually requires the application of stimuli which excite nociceptive nerves. The aims of the present studies were to define the mechanical manifestations of this reflex in the form of changes in biting forces, and to investigate whether the mechanical manifestation of the inhibitory jaw reflex evoked by stimulation of the human upper lip, can be modulated by experimentally-controlled conditions that mimic symptoms of a myogenous temporomandibular disorder. Methods: Three series of experiments were performed on 49 volunteer subjects in total. The experiments involved recording bite forces between the anterior teeth and electromyograms (EMGs) from the masseter muscles. Transcutaneous electrical stimuli were applied to the hairy skin of upper lip while the subjects maintained a biting force of around 50N with the aid of visual feedback. In the first series of experiments, a range of electrical stimuli below and above the nociceptive threshold was delivered. In the second set of experiments, double stimuli with a range of different inter-stimulus intervals were applied. Finally in a third series of experiments, electrical stimulation was repeated before, immediately after, and 5 and 10 minutes following a 3-minute accelerated chewing task. This task consisted of chewing 1.5g of a tough chewing gum at 1.5 times the subject’s natural chewing rate and in 18 cases, muscle fatigue and/or pain were reported by the subjects. Results: Following stimulation at intensities that were described as sharp or painful, all the subjects showed both a suppression of the masseter EMG and a reduction of biting force. When analysing the maximum responses in each subject, the mean reduction in the EMG inhibition was to 15.78 ± 14.4% and 10.39 ± 7.92% of the baseline (for the ipsi- and contra-lateral EMGs respectively), whereas the biting force was reduced only to 83.98 ± 11.04% of baseline (+ S.D.). The latencies of onset of these responses were: 38.17 ± 3.58ms, 38.97 ± 4.49ms and 51.83 ± 6.23ms respectively. The response observed in the force record was weaker than in that observed in either EMG (Paired t tests, P < 0.005 in both cases). When applying double stimuli, it was found that the prolongation of the EMG inhibitory jaw reflex (to 144.70 ± 46.93% of the control level) evoked by double stimulation of the upper lip (with a 10 ms inter-stimulus interval) resulted in a greater increase in the depth of the accompanied relaxation (to 223.63 ± 70.88% of that seen in the control responses) compared to a relatively smaller increase in the duration of the relaxation (to 128.32 ± 27.23% of that seen in the control responses).

▼ Diabetes and obesity are associated with inflammation and activation of the immune system with infiltration of adipose tissue by macrophages. This is mainly studied in adipose tissue, with limited information to clarify immune-skeletal muscle interactions in these conditions. We show that exposure of L6 rat skeletal muscle cells to saturated fatty acid palmitate results in insulin resistance, activation of inflammatory pathways, upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine gene expression and secretion. We identified monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1] as the main factor responsible for macrophage attraction, as blocking it reduced macrophage migration to muscle cells. When macrophages are exposed to palmitate, a similar response ensues with production of macrophage chemoattractants and activation of inflammatory pathways and gene expression profiles, and secretion of multiple cytokines. Our work identifies MCP-1 chemokine produced in response to palmitate treatment by both muscle cells and macrophages and provides a potential link in immune-metabolic crosstalk in diabetogenic environment.

▼ Background: High baseline peritoneal solute transport rate is reportedly associated with reduced patient and technique survival in continuous peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. However, the determinants of baseline peritoneal solute transport rate remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between peritoneal local inflammation, angiogenesis and systemic inflammation and baseline peritoneal permeability. Methods: Peritoneal biopsy specimens from 42 pre-dialysis uraemic patients and 11 control individuals were investigated. Immunohistochemistry for CD68-positive macrophages, chymase- and tryptase-positive mast cells, interleukin-6 (IL-6)-positive cells, CD3-positive T cells, CD20-positive B cells, neutrophils and CD31- and pathologische anatomie Leiden-endothelium (PAL-E)- positive blood vessels in the peritoneum was performed. Baseline dialysate-to-plasma ratio for creatinine (D/P Cr) was determined within 6 months of PD induction. Clinical and laboratory parameters were measured at the time of peritoneal biopsy. Factors associated with peritoneal permeability were assessed by multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Pre-dialysis uraemic peritoneum showed infiltration by CD68-positive macrophages, and mast cells, as compared with controls. Baseline D/P Cr was correlated with density of CD68-positive macrophages (P < 0.001), IL-6-positive cells (P < 0.001), CD31-positive (P < 0.05) and PAL-E-positive blood vessels (P < 0.05) and serum albumin (P < 0.05). However, baseline peritoneal permeability was not correlated with infiltration by mast cells, B cells, T cells, neutrophils, serum C-reactive protein or other clinical factors. On multiple linear regression analysis, the number of CD68-positive macrophages in peritoneum was an independent predictor for baseline peritoneal permeability (P = 0.009). Conclusions: Peritoneal macrophage infiltration is predominant in uraemic patients and is an important factor in predicting baseline peritoneal permeability.

▼ We explored the immune neuropathology underlying multi-day relief from neuropathic pain in a rat model initiated at the sciatic nerve by using a nanoemulsion-based nanomedicine as a biological probe. The nanomedicine is theranostic: both therapeutic (containing celecoxib drug) and diagnostic (containing near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) dye) and is small enough to be phagocytosed by circulating monocytes. A model of neuropathic pain is initiated by tying four 1mm spaced knots around the sciatic nerve with chromic gut suture, which results in neuroinflammation, and a resultant pain-like behavior manifests. We show that pain-like behavior reaches a plateau of maximum hypersensitivity 8 days post-surgery, and is the rationale for intravenous delivery at this time-point. Pain relief is evident within 24 hours, lasting approximately 6 days. The ipsilateral sciatic nerve and associated L4 and L5 dorsal root ganglia (DRG) tissue of both nanomedicine and control (nanoemulsion without drug) treated animals was investigated by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy at the peak of pain relief (day 12 post-surgery), and when pain-like hypersensitivity returns (day 18 post-surgery). At day 12, a significant reduction of infiltrating macrophages,
mast cells and
mast cell degranulation was observed at the sciatic nerve following treatment. In the DRG, there was no effect of treatment at both day 12 and day 18 on the numbers of macrophages and
mast cells. Conversely, at the DRG, there is a significant increase in
macrophage infiltration and
mast cell degranulation at day 18. The treatment effect on immune pathology in the sciatic nerve was investigated further by assessing the expression of
macrophage cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)—the drug target – and extracellular prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), as well as the proportion of M1 (pro-inflammatory) and M2 (anti-inflammatory) macrophages. At day 12, there is a significant reduction of COX-2 positive macrophages, extracellular PGE2, and a striking reversal of
macrophage polarity. At day 18, these measures revert to levels observed in control-treated animals. Here we present a new paradigm of immune neuropathology research, by employing a nanomedicine to target a mechanism of neuropathic pain—resulting in long-lasting pain relief – whilst revealing novel immune pathology at the injured nerve and associated DRG.
The pathology of pain relief that these studies reveal, highlights a crucial concept: that a single nanomedicine dose targeted to general peripheral neuroinflammation, may not be sufficient—that a treatment plan could be modified to firstly include additional treatment points, and secondly target the associated DRG in order to dampen the
inflammation and pain signaling emanating there.

▼ The overall goal of this thesis was to broaden knowledge of pain
mechanisms in myofascial temporomandibular disorders (M-TMD).
The specific aims were to:
• Develop a quality assessment tool for experimental bruxism
studies (study I).
• Investigate proprioceptive allodynia after experimental tooth
clenching exercises (study II).
• Evaluate the release of serotonin (5-HT), glutamate, pyruvate,
and lactate in healthy subjects (study III) and in patients with
M-TMD (study IV), after experimental tooth clenching
exercises.
In (I), tool development comprised 5 steps: (i) preliminary decisions,
(ii) item generation, (iii) face-validity assessment, (iv) reliability and
discriminative validity testing, and (v) instrument refinement. After
preliminary decisions and a literature review, a list of 52 items to be
considered for inclusion in the tool was generated. Eleven experts
were invited to participate on the Delphi panel, of which 10 agreed.
After four Delphi rounds, 8 items remained and were included in
the Quality Assessment Tool for Experimental Bruxism Studies
(Qu-ATEBS). Inter-observer reliability was acceptable (k = 0.77),
and discriminative validity high (phi coefficient 0.79; P < 0.01).
During refinement, 1 item was removed; the final tool comprised 7
items.
In (II), 16 healthy females participated in three 60-min sessions,
each with 24- and 48-h follow-ups. Participants were randomly
assigned to a repetitive experimental tooth clenching task with
10
a clenching level of 10%, 20%, or 40% of maximal voluntary
clenching force (MVCF). Pain intensity, fatigue, perceived intensity of
vibration (PIV), perceived discomfort (PD), and pressure pain
threshold (PPT) were measured throughout. A significant increase
in pain intensity and fatigue but not in PD was observed over time.
A significant increase in PIV was only observed at 40 min, and PPT
decreased significantly over time at 50 and 60 min compared to
baseline.
In (III), 30 healthy subjects (16 females, and 14 males)
participated in two sessions at a minimum interval of 1 wk.
Microdialysis was done to collect 5-HT, glutamate, pyruvate, and
lactate and to measure masseter muscle blood flow. Two hours after
the start of microdialysis, participants were randomized to a 20-
min repetitive experimental tooth clenching task (50% of MVCF)
or a control session (no clenching). Pain intensity was measured
throughout the experiment. Substance levels and blood flow were
unaltered at all time points between sessions, and between genders
in each session. Pain intensity was significantly higher after clenching
in the clenching session compared to the same time point in the
control session.
In (IV), 15 patients with M-TMD and 15 healthy controls
participated in one session and the methodology described above was
used. M-TMD patients had significantly higher levels of 5-HT and
significantly lower blood flows than healthy controls. No significant
differences for any substance at any time point were observed
between groups. Time and group…

▼ Masseter muscle (MM) has been found to undergo morphological changes in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). These changes are poorly understood even though muscle architecture is an important determinant of function. The purpose was to model and quantify the musculo-aponeurotic architecture of MM in 3D. In total, 9300 FBs were digitized and modeled from 8 formalin-embalmed specimens (mean age 74.9±15.9 years). Each MM consisted of multi-laminar superficial (SH) and deep heads (DH), with FBs spanning between superior and inferior aponeuroses. Superficial head had FBs that were on average 12mm longer than DH, 3 times the physiological cross-sectional area and 4 times the volume. On average SH had 3 laminae with 5 aponeuroses, while DH had 2 laminae with 2 aponeuroses. The results of this study can be used to develop in vivo ultrasound protocols for studying normal and pathologic muscle architecture and construct finite element models for simulating functional biomechanics in the muscle.

▼ The age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function is accompanied by a decline in regenerative capacity. The processes that facilitate healthy muscle repair are complex, involving several phases of degradation and rebuilding of muscle tissue and the surrounding microenvironment. Specifically, myogenic progenitor cells known as satellite cells are the most influential in repairing damaged muscle tissue. Following injury, satellite cells become activated and migrate, proliferate and fuse with mature skeletal muscle fibers to restore homeostasis to the tissue. However, satellite cells do not act in isolation, a robust inflammatory response is necessary to facilitate successful and rapid healing. Macrophages are one of the first and most abundant immune cells to infiltrate damaged skeletal muscle tissue. Primarily, macrophages adapt to a proinflammatory state to clear the area of cellular debris, promote degradation of the extracellular matrix and stimulate satellite cell activation and proliferation. Afterwards, a timely transition to an anti-inflammatory state directs rebuilding of the extracellular matrix and terminal differentiation of satellite cells. Indeed, the inhibition of macrophage activity leads to impaired healing and loss of skeletal muscle function. Little is known regarding the behavior of macrophages in aged skeletal muscle following injury in humans. Thus, the objective of this dissertation is to investigate the age-related response of macrophages in human skeletal muscle, and their role in muscle repair.

▼ H-relexes are used to determine the reflex connections of
muscle spindle afferents, the exitability of the motorneuron pool and the integrity of the reflex pathways. However, H-relexes are small and can be difficult to elicit in the
masseter, limiting their use in the investigation of the masticatory system. This study investigated the recruitment of
masseter motorneurons into the H-reflex, compared to the recruitment occuring during voluntary isometric biting, to determine the distribution of the effective
muscle spindle input.

▼ Atherosclerosis is a decades-long process whose patients often remain asymptomatic until after a heart attack or stroke. Novel therapeutic approaches focus on tuning the body's own atheroprotective mechanisms to induce regression. My approach looks at macrophages, which is the most prominent immune cell type in atherosclerotic plaque due to its involvement in lipid clearance, apoptotic cell debris clearance and pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokine production. While the molecular mechanisms active in lesional macrophages have been extensively studied, the effect of age- and
inflammation-induced arterial stiffening on
macrophage function is not yet fully understood. Thanks to recent advances in bioengineering that provided the tools to mimic physical properties of tissue, the effect of physical stiffness and associated matrix remodeling on macrophages can now be studied. Herein I describe the effects of physical substrate stiffness on
macrophage behavior relevant to atherosclerosis plaque formation using a polyacrylamide hydrogel-based in vitro model of atherosclerotic tissue.

▼ Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a life-threatening lung disease affecting low birth weight preterm infants. While the occurrence of BPD is correlated with chorioamnionitis, the origination and pathway of fetal lung
inflammation is less clear. It is unknown which cell type in the fetal lung detect pathogens and initiate
inflammation. We hypothesized that fetal lung macrophages drive development-inhibiting
inflammation through NF-κB activation, and that NF-κB activation alters
macrophage development. While LPS normally inhibits airway branching in fetal lung explants, depleting macrophages with clodronate or inhibiting NF-κB activation in macrophages protected fetal lung explants from the effects of LPS. Activating NF-κB in macrophages inhibited airway branching, lead to abnormal lung morphogenesis, and induced perinatal lethality. In addition to the effects of
macrophage activation on lung morphogenesis, NF-κB signaling can alter normal
macrophage maturation. Flow cytometry experiments show two
macrophage populations in the fetal lung, CD11bhiF4/80lo and CD11bloF4/80hi, with most macrophages being CD11bhiF4/80lo. After NF-κB activation, there is an increase in the CD11bhiF4/80lo subpopulation, which expressed higher levels of CD204 and CD206. High levels of CD204 and CD206 are also found on mature, alveolar macrophages, indicating similarities in marker expression with the CD11bloF4/80hi subpopulation. Fetal lung macrophages are unique in that they do not follow the typical polarization paradigm, but rather a maturation pathway towards alveolar macrophages. Overall, macrophages have a primary role in the fetal lung inflammatory. NF-κB activation in macrophages inhibits lung development and influences fetal
macrophage maturation.

▼ O padrão de contração de músculos pares pode ser investigado usando eletromiografia (EMG) de superfície. Isto torna possível saber quando e como um músculo é ativado e ainda determinar como se estabelece a coordenação de diferentes músculos envolvidos no movimento. Além disso, a influência da condição oclusal sobre a função estomatognática também pode ser avaliada por meio da eletromiografia. Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar e descrever as características de coordenação e (as)simetria, nos músculos masseter e temporal anterior durante os testes estático e dinâmico em uma população brasileira de sujeitos jovens adultos saudáveis, assintomáticos para disfunção temporomandibular, por meio de um novo instrumento de registro eletromiográfico. Para isso, participaram da pesquisa 100 sujeitos. Todos realizaram o teste estático e 60 sujeitos foram selecionados para realizar o teste dinâmico da mandíbula. Os resultados demonstraram que os sujeitos jovens adultos avaliados apresentaram valores médios dos índices eletromiográficos dentro dos padrões de normalidade já estabelecidos previamente para outras populações. Este padrão de normalidade parece refletir em um bom desempenho funcional do sistema estomatognático, como o encontrado na avaliação miofuncional. Provavelmente os valores sejam válidos para a população brasileira, porém estudos com amostras mais numerosas deverão ser realizados.
The contraction pattern of paired muscles can be investigated using surface electromyography (EMG). This makes it possible to know when and how a muscle is activated as well as determine the coordination of different muscles involved in the movement. Furthermore, the influence of occlusal condition on the stomatognathic function can also be evaluated by electromyography. This study aimed to examine and describe the characteristics of coordination and (a)symmetry in the masseter and temporal muscles during the previous static and dynamic tests in a population of subjects young healthy adults, asymptomatic for temporomandibular dysfunction, using a new electromyographic instrument. For this, 100 subjects participated in the study. All performed the static test and 60 subjects were selected to perform the dynamic test of the jaw. The results showed that the young adults subjects evaluated showed average values of the electromyographic index within the normal range already set previously for other people. This pattern of normality seems to reflect a good performance of the stomatognathic system, as found in myofunctional evaluation. Probably the figures are valid for the Brazilian population, but studies with larger samples should be conducted.

▼ Introdução: A disfunção temporomandibular (DTM), de causa muscular, caracteriza-se por uma dor músculo-esquelética
crónica, com sinais e sintomas específicos como a presença de Trigger Points (TrPs). Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito da Técnica
de Inibição de Jones (TIJ) nos músculos masseter e temporal em indivíduos com DTM, e a identificação dos sinais e
sintomas, a relação entre a severidade da DTM, a ansiedade e a qualidade de sono. Métodos: Estudo quasi-experimental,
constituído por 16 indivíduos no grupo experimental (GE) e 17 grupo controle (GC). O grau de severidade foi avaliado pelo
Índice de Helkimo e as alterações do sono pelo questionário de Pittsburgh sobre a qualidade do sono. Apenas o GE foi
sujeito a uma TIJ nos TrPs latentes dos músculos masseter e temporal. Os dois grupos foram avaliados pré-intervenção
(M0), pós-intervenção (M1) e 3 semanas após (M2), as amplitudes de movimento ativas de abertura, lateralidade
direita/esquerda e protusão da boca bem como a dor (EVA) em repouso e na abertura máxima. Resultados: Foi possível
observar que quanto maior o grau de DTM, maior a frequência de ansiedade e pior a qualidade do sono. Observou-se um
decréscimo de TrPs, no GE, após a aplicação da técnica, principalmente no masseter. Não foi possível verificar diferenças
inter-grupos. Contudo, observou-se no GE uma melhoria em todas as amplitudes avaliadas entre o M0 e o M2. Em relação
à EVA em repouso e na abertura máxima, o GE demonstrou diminuição da dor no M1 e manteve valores inferiores no M2.
Conclusão: Verifica-se uma diminuição dos TrPs, uma melhoria das amplitudes ativas bem como uma diminuição da dor
após a aplicação da TIJ no GE. Já ao longo do tempo, o efeito é menos expressivo contudo observam-se valores inferiores
comparativamente a M0.

▼ Purpose: After corneal epithelial injury, the ensuing inflammatory response is necessary for efficient wound healing. While beneficial healing effects are attributed to recruited neutrophils and platelets, little is known regarding the relative distribution of
macrophage phenotypes within the cornea and whether macrophages contribute to the inflammatory cascade that is so important for corneal wound healing. The objectives of this research were: (1) To characterize macrophages in normal and wounded mouse corneas; (2) To determine if
macrophage-derived IL-20 plays a beneficial role in corneal wound healing; (3) To determine if oncomodulin, a potent stimulus for nerve regeneration known to be present in macrophages and neutrophils, plays a beneficial role in corneal wound healing.
Methods: In all wounded corneas, a 2mm diameter central epithelial region was mechanically debrided with a gulf-club spud. (1) Fluorescently tagged antibodies raised against mouse
macrophage markers (F4/80, CD115, CX3CR1 and CD206) together with known M1 (CD80, CD86) and M2 (CD301) pro- and anti-inflammatory markers, respectively, were used to identify and localize macrophages within corneal wholemounts of wildtype mice before and after injury (24, 48, 72h and 7days). To enumerate different
macrophage phenotypes within the cornea, whole mounts were sub-divided into five regions: (a) limbus (L), (b) paralimbus (PL), (c) parawound (PW), (d) wound (W) and (e) wound center (WC). Within each region, a single camera field (40X, 150 x 150 µm) was recorded and cells staining positively for
macrophage markers were counted. (2) Injured female wildtype C57BL/6 mouse corneas were topically treated every 4h up to 24h with 10l of neutralizing IL-20 antibody (200g/ml) or control antibody (non-immune isotype matched IgG). To examine the effects of recombinant IL-20 (rIl-20) on epithelial wound healing, wildtype mice, neutrophil-depleted wildtype mice (anti-Ly6G antibody pre-treatment) , and mutant mice known to have reduced neutrophil infiltration (ɣδ T cell deficient mice (TCR-/-) and CD11a deficient mice (CD11a-/-)) received 10µL of rIL-20 dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (200ng/mL) every 4h up to 24h, while appropriate control mice received buffer only. The rate of corneal wound closure, the numbers of dividing basal epithelial cells, infiltrating neutrophils, and platelets, and the density of epithelial nerves were evaluated. Some corneas were prepared for immunofluorescence microscopy to localize IL-20 and its receptor, IL-20R1. (3) Some wildtype mice receiving corneal epithelial abrasions were topically treated with oncomodulin-specific blocking peptide P1 (100ng/5ul) or control peptide P3 (100ng/5ul), respectively. The process was repeated every 6 hours for 24 hours. The rate of corneal wound closure, epithelial nerve density, and number of dividing epithelial cells were evaluated to assess the functional contribution of oncomodulin on epithelial wound healing. Some dissected mouse corneas were immunostained with anti-oncomodulin antibody…

▼ Este estudo analisou por meio de um eletromiógrafo de superfície as atividades dos músculos masseteres, direito e esquerdo, de 30 pacientes com diagnóstico de fratura de ossos da face, com uma média de 1,33 fraturas por paciente, em quatro momentos, no pré-operatório e nos pós-operatórios equivalentes ao 7°, 30° e 60° dias posteriores à cirurgia. Considerou-se o valor de cada medida, a média entre três contrações máximas isométricas voluntárias de duração de cinco segundos cada uma. Os paciente foram agrupados de acordo com o diagnóstico da fratura, sendo com fratura da mandíbula 50%, fratura do zigomático 33%, fratura da maxila 10% e com fraturas associadas 6,7%. Os pacientes apresentaram menor atividade dos músculo masseter no período pré-operatório, quando comparado a valores considerados normais, em todos os grupos de fraturas, seguida de queda acentuada no pós operatório de 07 dias, sendo que todos os grupos apresentaram recuperação da atividade em 60 dias, porém abaixo do valor normal encontrado na literatura. Os valores médio observados foram em ordem decrescente: fratura de zigomático, fratura de mandíbula, fratura de maxila e fraturas associadas. As fraturas de mandíbulas unilaterais apresentaram maiores valores que as fraturas bilaterais na maioria dos tempos. Houve diferença altamente significante na comparação da evolução da atividade do músculo masseter direito e esquerdo para as fraturas de mandíbula e de zigomático, sendo que na comparação par a par houve diferença significante entre a maioria dos grupos.
This study analyzed using a surface electromyographic activity of the masseter muscles, right and left, of 30 patients with fractures of facial bones, with an average of 1.33 fractures per patient, four times, the pre-operative and postoperative equivalent to the 7th, 30th and 60th days after surgery. It was considered the value of each measurement, the average of three isometric maximum voluntary contractions for five seconds each. Patients were grouped according to the diagnosis of fracture, 50% of the mandible fracture, 33% of the zygomatic fracture, 10% of maxilla fracture and 6,7% with associated fractures. The patients showed lower activity of the masseter muscle in the preoperative period, when compared to normal values in all groups of fractures, followed by a sharp drop in the postoperative period of 07 days, and all groups showed a recovery of activity in 60 days, but below the normal value found in the literature. The average values were observed in decreasing order: zygomatic fracture, mandible fracture, maxilla fracture and associated fractures. The unilateral jaw fractures showed higher values than the bilateral fractures in most of the times. There was a highly significant difference in comparing the evolution of the activity of the masseter muscle right and left to the mandibular and zygomatic fractures, if compared pairwise significant difference between most groups.

▼ Alveolar hypoxia is observed in a number of clinical settings, and is frequently associated with systemic effects, many of which present an inflammatory component. Reduction of alveolar PO2 in rats induces a rapid and widespread inflammatory response in mesentery, skeletal
muscle and brain, characterized by increased microvascular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased leukocyte-endothelial adhesive interaction, extravasation of albumin and perivascular
mast cell degranulation. There is substantial evidence that the systemic
inflammation elicited by alveolar hypoxia is not triggered by the reduction of peripheral tissue PO2, but rather by a mediator(s) released from alveolar macrophages (AMØ) and transported by the circulation. The mediator activates local tissue
mast cells which release inflammatory agents and activate the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) to initiate the systemic
inflammation. The major objective of this study was to investigate the links between alveolar hypoxia, AMØ, resident tissue macrophages and
mast cells to understand the mechanisms underlying the systemic
inflammation. Our results showed that topical application of supernatant of hypoxic AMØ, but not of hypoxic peritoneal macrophages produced
inflammation in the normoxic mesentery. Hypoxia induced a respiratory burst in alveolar, but not peritoneal macrophages. Cultured peritoneal
mast cells did not degranulate with hypoxia. Immersion of
mast cells in supernatant of hypoxic AMØ, but not in supernatant of hypoxic peritoneal macrophages, induced
mast cell degranulaton.. These data suggest that AMØ-borne mediator activates
mast cells and triggers the systemic
inflammation induced by hypoxia, in which reduced systemic PO2 and activation of tissue
macrophage do not play a role. Hypoxia induced release of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1/CCL-2), a
mast cell secretagogue, from AMØ, but not peritoneal macrophages or
mast cells. Further studies showed that AMØ-borne MCP-1 played a central role in the
inflammation: 1) Alveolar hypoxia produced a rapid increase in plasma MCP-1 concentration of conscious intact rats, but not of AMØ-depleted rats. 2) Degranulation occurred when
mast cells were immersed in the plasma of hypoxic intact rats, but not of AMØ-depleted rats. 3) MCP-1 added to normoxic rat plasma and supernatant of normoxic AMØ produced concentration-dependent degranulation of immersed
mast cells. 4) MCP-1 applied to the mesentery of normoxic intact rats replicated the
inflammation of alveolar hypoxia. 5) The CCR2b receptor antagonist RS-102895 prevented the mesenteric
inflammation of alveolar hypoxia in intact rats. Additional data suggested that a co-factor constitutively generated in AMØ and presented in normoxic body fluids is necessary for MCP-1 to activate
mast cells at biologically relevant concentrations. As previously seen in cremaster, the RAS is involved in the mesenteric
inflammation of hypoxia. Demonstration of similar inflammatory pathways in both cremaster and mesentery provides further support to the idea of a…

▼ Macrophage inflammatory status governs inflammatory responses in metabolic tissues including adipose and liver tissues, and critically contributes to the development of diet-induced obesity and systemic insulin resistance. Therefore, regulating
macrophage proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory activation can help control the diet-induced
inflammation in adipose tissue and systemic insulin resistance. To better understand the control of
macrophage activation status, circadian clockworks and PFKFB3 were investigated in the context of diet-induced
inflammation and insulin resistance.
Through in vivo studies of bone marrow-transplanted mice fed with high fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks, and in vitro studies on bone marrow-derived
macrophage (BMDM) and co-cultures of BMDM and adipocytes, the present study demonstrated that disruption of circadian genes Period1 and Period2 in macrophages increases their proinflammatory activation, and exacerbates diet-induced
inflammation and insulin resistance. Through similar research methods, this research showed that PFKFB3 disruption in macrophages exacerbates diet-induced adipose tissue
inflammation and insulin resistance. Taken together, both the circadian clock and PFKFB3 were shown to be key regulators of
macrophage activation, evidenced by that either dysregulation of circadian clock or disruption of PFKFB3 contributes to the physiological cascade by which diet-induced obesity triggers
macrophage proinflammatory activation, adipose tissue
inflammation, and insulin resistance.

▼ Recently, the World Health Organization estimated that chronic diseases are responsible for 46% of disease occurrence and 59% of all deaths worldwide. Growing evidence suggests that increasing chronic disease incidence is dependent upon several factors, including inadequate consumption of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables and chronic
inflammation. Many researchers have previously investigated potential health benefits associated with consuming plant-based foods, and the ability of these foods to prevent or suppress the pathologies linked to chronic diseases. Specifically, plant-based bioactive compounds called polyphenols have been widely studied, and show promise as a therapeutic agent against chronic diseases.
Tea is produced from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant and, aside from water, is the most popular beverage in the world. Green tea, black tea, and oolong tea are the three major types of commercially produced tea. Black tea comprises over 75% of global tea production and consumption, followed by green tea at approximately 20%, and oolong tea at less than 2%. For centuries, tea has been known for its health effects. It has historically been used as a medicine in China and Japan. Tea polyphenols are particularly thought to have chemopreventive and cardioprotective effects due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Previous in vitro and animal studies have analyzed the anti-inflammatory activity of polyphenols, and the specific mechanisms by which these compounds suppress
inflammation. But, to our knowledge, few studies have investigated tea’s anti-inflammatory capacity as a whole food, or compared the potential anti-inflammatory effects of different tea types.
Therefore, the objectives of the following study were to evaluate total phenol content in green tea (GT) and black tea (BT); to assess viability of cells exposed to GT, BT, and LPS; and to measure the modulation of inflammatory responses in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages by GT and BT. We predicted that GT and BT would differentially modulate
inflammation because of differences in composition.
First, the total phenolic content in commercially produced GT and BT was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Freshly prepared GT had a significantly higher phenolic content than freshly prepared BT (1317.1 + 6.0 GAE, 918.9 + 10.7 GAE). Stored at -80° C, the phenolic content of GT and BT significantly increased at one month (1770.0 + 35.2 GAE, 1124.0 + 19.1 GAE) and two months post-preparation (1587.2 + 21.5 GAE, 1003.2 + 8.6 GAE), then decreased at 3 months post-preparation (1407.8 + 13.4 GAE, 941.8 + 0.5 GAE) (p < 0.05).
The second goal of our study was to assess viability in RAW 264.7 cells treated with GT, BT, and LPS. Viability was colorimetrically determined by the Trypan Blue assay and by measured absorbance values from the MTT assay. The GT, BT, and LPS treatments did not produce a cytotoxic effect, and cell viability values for each treatment were not significantly…

▼ HIV associated cardiovascular disease is likely due to
multiple factors ranging from accelerated aging, the direct effects
of HIV proteins, and increased
inflammation and immune activation.
Monocytes/macrophages play roles in the development and progression
of HIV and cardiovascular disease. Increased monocyte/
macrophage
inflammation and immune activation associated with HIV infection
likely contributes to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease
development associated with HIV infection. To further understand
the role of monocytes/macrophages in the development of
HIV-associated cardiovascular disease we: 1) assessed monocyte
activation longitudinally to determine if they correlate with and
can be predictive of cardiac fibrosis and
inflammation; 2) we
examined cardiac tissues from the SIV-infected CD8+ T-lymphocyte
depleted animals to determine the effects of monocyte/
macrophage
inflammation on cardiac fibrosis; 3) in parallel we examined
cardiovascular tissues from HIV+ individuals on durable cART to
determine if aortic and cardiac
inflammation persists with
infection and if soluble factors (sCD163) correlated with
intima-media thickness and fibrosis; 4) we next examined the
effects of blocking leukocytes trafficking to the heart on
SIV-associated cardiac
inflammation and fibrosis; 5) and finally we
examined if targeting monocyte/
macrophage activation (as opposed to
traffic) directly using MGBG decreases SIV-associated
cardiovascular pathology,
inflammation and fibrosis. We found that
early increased monocyte activation was predictive of animals that
developed cardiac fibrosis and SIV encephalitis (SIVE). Animals
with both cardiac fibrosis and SIVE had increased
macrophage
inflammation in the heart, suggesting that there is a link between
cardiac and CNS
inflammation seen with HIV infection (Chapter 2).
We found in a SIV-infected CD8+ T-lymphocyte depletion model of
rapid AIDS increased prevalence of cardiac disease compared to
nondepleted animals, and increased cardiac
inflammation that
correlated with cardiac fibrosis. Monocyte/
macrophage traffic to
the heart occurred later with SIV infection, possibly with the
development of AIDS (Chapter 3). In post-mortem human tissues
studies we found that
inflammation in aorta and heart correlated
with increased soluble CD163, and correlated with aortic
intima-media thickness and cardiac fibrosis with HIV infection
(Chapter 4). Blocking leukocyte traffic to the heart using an
anti-α4 antibody decreased
macrophage inflammation in the heart
that correlated with decreased cardiac fibrosis (Chapter 5). Using
MGBG, a polyamine biosynthesis inhibitor that directly targets
monocyte/
macrophage activation, we found decreased
inflammation in
the carotid artery and heart correlated with decreased carotid
artery intima-media thickness and cardiac fibrosis (Chapter 6).
Overall these studies provide evidence for ongoing
monocyte/
macrophage cardiovascular
inflammation with HIV and SIV
infection.
Macrophage inflammation correlates with markers of
cardiovascular disease (fibrosis and…

▼ Macrophages are key orchestrators of the innate immune response with a dynamic role in the promotion and resolution of inflammation. Macrophage polarization to a pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotype must be tightly controlled to maintain appropriate responses to stimuli as well as to maintain tissue homeostasis. The
nutrient and energy sensor Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) integrates upstream signals from the PI3K/Akt pathway to orchestrate cellular protein, lipid, and glucose metabolism. This key metabolic pathway has been implicated in T-helper cell skewing and in the innate immune regulation. The mechanisms of innate immune
regulation by mTOR are currently unclear as most studies use pharmacological inhibitors with potential off target effects. In this study, we use a novel model of TSC1 deficiency in myeloid lineage cells to elucidate a role for mTOR in macrophage polarization. We show, for the first time, that Tsc1-deficiency and constitutive mTORC1
activity in macrophages leads to a marked defect in M2 polarization when stimulated with the Th2 cytokine IL-4. Tsc1-deficient macrophages display attenuated Akt signaling in response to IL-4 consistent with negative feedback of mTORC1 on upstream
IRS2/PI3K signaling, and we demonstrate that this parallel signaling pathway is critical for induction of a subset of M2 markers. Tsc1-deficient macrophages fail to upregulate the M2 genes Pgc-1!, Arg-1, Fizz-1, and Mgl1 in addition to other M2 markers despite
normal STAT6 signaling in response to IL-4. Consistent with downregulation of Pgc-1!, Tsc1-deficient macrophages also display defects in fatty acid metabolism and mitchochondrial biogenesis. Furthermore, LPS stimulation in Tsc-1 deficient macrophages leads to an enhanced inflammatory response with increased production of
pro-inflammatory cytokines. We believe that Tsc1-deficient macrophages are a model of constitutive mTORC1 activity akin to obesity, where chronic nutrient excess leads to increases in mTORC1 activity, attenuation of IRS/PI3K/Akt signaling, and defective M2
polarization of macrophages in metabolic tissues.

▼ 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1, encoded by Hsd11b1) is an enzyme that predominantly converts inactive glucocorticoids (cortisone in human and most mammals, 11dehydro-corticosterone in mice and rats) into their active forms (cortisol and corticosterone, respectively). Thus 11β-HSD1 amplifies intracellular levels of glucocorticoids. Studies in globally 11β-HSD1 deficient mice have revealed changes in glucocorticoid-regulated physiological and pathological processes, including metabolism, aging, arthritis and angiogenesis. The function of macrophages, which play an important role in inflammation, is also altered. For example, 11β-HSD1 deficiency in macrophages causes a delay in their acquisition of phagocytic capacity. To dissect the role of macrophage 11β-HSD1 in angiogenesis, arthritis and obesity, both in vitro macrophage stimulation and in vivo functional assays in macrophage-specific 11β-HSD1 knockout mice, were conducted. Thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages from globally 11β-HSD1 deficient and control C57BL/6 mice were used for in vitro studies. In M1/M2 macrophage polarisation experiments, 11β-HSD1 deficient macrophages showed increased expression of mRNAs encoding pro-inflammatory factors upon lipopolysaccharide and interferon-ϒ treatment and decreased expression of pro-resolution genes with interleukin-4 stimulation. However, at cytokine or protein levels, there was little difference between the genotypes except for decrease IL12 p40 levels in 11β-HSD1 deficient macrophages. Hypoxic stress failed to show differences between genotypes in hypoxia-regulated gene expression. These data do not support a strong role for macrophage 11β-HSD1 in inflammation regulation, nor in response to hypoxia, at least when measured in vitro. The discrepancy between transcriptional and translational responses is currently unexplained, but may reflect altered posttranscriptional activity. To investigate the role of macrophage 11β-HSD1 in vivo, macrophage-specific Hsd11b1 knockout mice, LysM-Cre Hsd11b1 flox/flox (MKO) mice and Hsd11b1flox/flox littermate controls were generated. In MKO mice, 11β-HSD1 protein levels and enzyme activity were reduced by >80% in resident peritoneal macrophages. However, 11β-HSD1 protein and enzyme activity levels were unchanged or only modestly reduced in thioglycocollate-elicited peritoneal neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages, or in bone marrow-derived macrophages, despite >80% decrease in Hsd11b1 mRNA levels in these cells. A relatively long half-life of 11β-HSD1 protein compared to that of circulating myeloid cells may underlie this mismatch between transcriptional and translational expression. Furthermore, following 12 days of inflammatory arthritis induced by K/BxN serum transfer, the reduction in 11β-HSD1 protein levels in circulating neutrophils of MKO mice is consistently around 50%, which corroborates the above explanation. MKO mice and littermate controls were subjected to inflammatory models which may involve resident macrophages. First, to address the role of…

▼ The mouth, throat, and face contain numerous muscles that participate in a large variety of orofacial behaviors. The jaw and tongue can move independently, and thus require a high degree of coordination among the muscles that move them to prevent self-injury. However, different orofacial behaviors require distinct patterns of coordination between these muscles. The method through which motor control circuitry might coordinate this activity has yet to be determined. Electrophysiological, immunohistochemical, and retrograde tracing studies have attempted to identify populations of premotor neurons which directly send information to orofacial motoneurons in an effort to identify sources of coordination. Yet these studies have not provided a complete picture of the population of neurons which monosynaptically connect to jaw and tongue motoneurons. Additionally, while many of these studies have suggested that premotor neurons projecting to multiple motor pools may play a role in coordination of orofacial muscles, no clear functional roles for these neurons in the coordination of natural orofacial movements has been identified. In this dissertation, I took advantage of the recently developed monosynaptic rabies virus to trace the premotor circuits for the jaw-closing
masseter muscle and tongue-protruding genioglossus
muscle in the neonatal mouse, uncovering novel premotor inputs in the brainstem. Furthermore, these studies identified a set of neurons which form boutons onto motor neurons in multiple motor pools, providing a premotor substrate for orofacial coordination. I then combined a retrogradely traveling lentivirus with a split-intein mediated split-Cre recombinase system to isolate and manipulate a population of neurons which project to both left and right jaw-closing motor nuclei. I found that these bilaterally projecting neurons also innervate multiple other orofacial motor nuclei, premotor regions, and midbrain regions implicated in motor control. I anatomically and physiologically characterized these neurons and used optogenetic and chemicogenetic approaches to assess their role in natural jaw-closing behavior, specifically with reference to bilateral
masseter muscle electromyogram (EMG) activity. These studies identified a population of bilaterally projecting neurons in the supratrigeminal nucleus as essential for maintenance of an appropriate level of
masseter activation during natural chewing behavior in the freely moving mouse. Moreover, these studies uncovered two distinct roles of supratrigeminal bilaterally projecting neurons in bilaterally synchronized activation of
masseter muscles, and active balancing of bilateral
masseter muscle tone against an excitatory input. Together, these studies identify neurons which project to multiple motor nuclei as a mechanism by which the brain coordinates orofacial muscles during natural behavior.

▼ Les macrophages sont en première ligne de la défense innée et jouent un rôle important dans l’initiation de la réponse immunitaire puisque régulant l’inflammation et permettant la clairance des pathogènes. Dans la mucoviscidose, ces phénomènes sont exacerbés et deviennent chronique sans pouvoir être résolus. Les objectifs de cette thèse ont été de déterminer des cibles potentielles responsables des altérations du macrophage dans la mucoviscidose. Dans le contexte inflammatoire, la forme soluble du CD14 (sCD14), dont la sécrétion est augmentée par les macrophages de patients atteints de la mucoviscidose, est caractérisé comme un DAMP puisqu’il contribue à l’entretien de l’inflammation au niveau tissulaire. Dans le contexte infectieux, l’activité de TRPV2, impliqué dans la phagocytose, est altérée. Dans la mucoviscidose, l’inflammation et l’infection sont aussi intimement liées par l’intermédiaire d’une altération des microstructures de la membrane plasmique impliquée dans la production du sCD14 et dans le processus de phagocytose. En conclusion, les modifications des fonctions du macrophage affaiblissent la défense innée des patients atteints de mucoviscidose et peuvent être impliqués dans la progression de la maladie. Par conséquent, les interventions visant à réduire l’inflammation et l’infection pourraient être bénéfiques afin de préserver la fonction pulmonaire des patients. Ainsi, les approches thérapeutiques visant à corriger les dysfonctions du macrophage de patients atteints de mucoviscidose pourrait fournir une meilleure résolution de l'infection et l'inflammation.
Macrophages play a significant role in the initiating stages of immune responses regulating inflammation and clearance of the pathogens. In cystic fibrosis, inability of the macrophage to act as a suppressor cell leading to chronic inflammation/infection cannot be resolved. The aims of this work was to find new targets responsible for alterations in cystic fibrosis macrophages. Regarding inflammation, the soluble form of CD14 (sCD14), find overproduced by cystic fibrosis macrophages, is characterized to be a DAMP as it contributes for maintenance of inflammation in tissues. Regarding infection, the activity of TRPV2, involved in phagocytic capacity of macrophage, is impaired. In cystic fibrosis, inflammation and infection were closely linked to the alteration of the plasma membrane microstructures involved in the production of sCD14 and in the phagocytosis process. In conclusion, the alterations of macrophage weaken innate defense of cystic fibrosis patients and may be involved in cystic fibrosis disease progression and lung damage. Consequently, interventions aimed to reduce ongoing infection and destructive inflammatory response may be beneficial in order to preserve their lung function. In this way, therapeutic approaches aimed to correct cystic fibrosis macrophages dysfunctions might provide improved resolution of infection and inflammation.

▼ La voie Fas-FasL est la voie majeure d’apoptose dont le rôle est indispensable pour l’homéostasie des cellules hématopoïétiques et la tolérance périphérique. Mon projet de thèse consiste à étudier le rôle de FasL dans la réponse anti tumorale, notamment le rôle de son expression sur les cellules myéloïdes, en l’occurrence les macrophages et les cellules myéloïdes suppressives.Les souris Fasl KO sont caractérisées par une accumulation des différentes populations de cellules hématopoïétiques dans les organes lymphoïdes périphériques. Cependant, elles ne développent pas de tumeurs spontanées. De façon intéressante, nos résultats montrent que lors qu’elles sont transplantées par les cellules tumorales, leur survie est significativement diminuée par rapport aux souris contrôles (Fasl fl/fl), ce qui suggère un rôle de FasL dans la réponse anti-tumorale. Une caractérisation fine de la répartition des cellules myéloïdes chez les souris Fasl KO porteuses de tumeur, montre une répartition différentielle des cellules Gr1+, par une accumulation des M-MDSC, dans la rate de ces souris. En plus, un enrichissement de l’infiltrat tumoral par les macrophages TAM chez les souris Fasl KO a été observé. Ces macrophages, indépendamment de génotype exècrent une forte activité d’arginase et iNOS et une inhibition de la prolifération des cellules T in vitro. Ainsi, la mortalité plus importante chez les souris Fasl KO pourrait, en partie, être associée à cet enrichissement des TAM dans l’infiltrat des souris déficientes en FasL.Afin de déterminer si cette accumulation des cellules myéloïdes immunosuppressives déficientes en FasL est spécifique d’un environnement tumoral ou le reflet d’un état inflammatoire, nous avons examiné le phénotype des macrophages dans un modèle d’inflammation induite par le thioglycollate. Les résultats montrent que les macrophages CD11b+F480+, recrutés sur le site de l’inflammation, lorsqu’elles sont déficientes en FasL, sur-expriment les gènes anti-inflammatoires comme IL-10, Arg1, CCL17. La caractérisation plus fine de cette population de macrophages a montré que la population responsable de ce phénotype suppressive est F480+CD115+IL-4R+. Chez les souris Fasl KO, le pourcentage des macrophages F480+CD115+IL-4R+ est significativement augmenté en comparaison avec les souris contrôles. L’analyse fonctionnelle de cette population CD115+ a montré que ces cellules, inhibent la prolifération et la production d’IFN- des cellules T activées. Ces caractéristiques fonctionnelles sont en faveur d’un phénotype anti-inflammatoire de ces macrophages, qui lorsqu’ils sont déficients en FasL, leur recrutement sur le site de l’inflammation est plus important.L’ensemble de ces résultats suggère que l’expression de FasL sur les cellules myéloïdes pourrait jouer un rôle dans leur polarisation vers un phénotype pro inflammatoire. Ainsi, ce travail pourrait apporter de nouvelles approches de levée de l’immunosuppression pour une immunothérapie efficace.

This study aimed to investigate how the activity of the masseter (Mas) and suprahyoid (Hyoid) muscle are influenced by the condition of food, how changes in rheological property differ in the process of food reduction between different foods, and how different salivary flow rates affect bolus-making capability during chewing in healthy humans. Ten healthy adult males participated. Electromyographic (EMG) recordings were obtained in the Mas and Hyoid muscles, and 15 g steamed rice and rice cake were prepared as test foods. In the ingestion test, the subjects were asked to eat each food in their usual manner. The chewing duration, number of chewing cycles before the first swallow, Mas and Hyoid EMG activity, and chewing cycle time were compared between the foods. The chewing duration was divided into three substages: early, middle, and late; chewing cycle time and EMG activity per chewing cycle of each substage were compared between the foods and among the substages. In the spitting test, the rheological property of the bolus at the end of each substage was compared between the foods and among the substages. Finally, stimulated salivary flow rate was measured and the relationships between the salivary flow rate and chewing duration, EMG activity, changes in the physical properties, and EMG activity were investigated. There were significant differences in the chewing duration and number of chewing cycles between the foods with similar hardness, but not in the chewing cycle time. The Mas and Hyoid EMG activity per chewing cycle for the rice cake was significantly greater than for steamed rice throughout the recording periods. While the Mas activity did not change among the substages during chewing, the Hyoid EMG activity decreased as chewing progressed. Chewing cycle time also gradually decreased as chewing progressed. The hardness of both foods initially increased, then gradually decreased back to baseline. Adhesiveness of the rice cake initially increased, and did not fall throughout the recording period; adhesiveness did not significantly change for the steamed rice. Cohesiveness barely changed for the two foods during chewing, but was significantly greater for the rice cake than for steamed rice. Finally, a correlation between the stimulated salivary flow rate and chewing performance was noted only in change in Mas EMG activity. The current results demonstrate that the Mas and Hyoid muscle activity changed as chewing progressed, and was affected by hardness, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness. Salivary flow rate may affect the changes in Mas activity in the process of bolus formation.

▼ It has been suggested that architectural changes occur in masseter muscle (MM) in conditions of facial pain. To understand pathological changes, it is necessary to elucidate normal musculo-aponeurotic architecture. Muscle architecture is characterized by parameters including fiber bundle length (FBL) and height of aponeuroses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the architecture of MM volumetrically in 24 asymptomatic participants using ultrasound, in the relaxed and maximally contracted states. Masseter consisted of superficial (SH) and deep heads (DH), each arranged in laminae. Fiber bundles extended between superior and inferior aponeuroses and/or bone. Statistically significant differences were observed in mean FBL and in the mean height of aponeuroses between the relaxed and contracted states only in superficial laminae of SH. These results suggest there is differential contraction of the laminae of MM. Future comparison with pathologic subjects can be made based on the normative database established.
