Invite par: Pascale Serror Metazoans, including Drosophila and mammals, maintain complex interactions with their gut microorganisms, which play a crucial role in host physiology, particularly juvenile growth under chronic undernutrition. Nutrient deprivation often leads to stunted growth and disrupted gut microbiota maturation, but microbial interventions, including Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lp), can mitigate these effects. Lp promotes juvenile growth in Drosophila by stimulating protease expression in intestinal cells through bacterial cell envelope components, notably peptidoglycan and d-alanylated lipoteichoic acids (d-Ala-LTA), via an NF-?B-dependent pathway. Similar effects have been observed in undernourished mice, where Lp cell envelopes alone are sufficient to promote growth. Plus d'infos...

Life depends on extracellular energy to support growth, reproduction, and survival. However, the availability of energetic vectors (i.e., organic carbon, light, reductant) is variable in Nature, and the proper balance of dynamic energy fluxes is required to ensure cell health and organisms fitness. Yet how the balance between the cell energy supply and demand is achieved at the cellular level to survive and thrive in dynamic environments remains unclear. Arguably, the most versatile cell bioenergetic network is the one of photosynthetic organisms since natural factors like canopy movement, clouds, or water mixing quickly and dynamically affect the amount of light energy available. In this talk, we will explore how photosynthetic cells maintain their energetic homeostasis in a dynamic environment using the model green microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. First, by developing an approach inspired by frequency-domain analysis, we show that various molecular players of the photosynthetic electron transport chain harbor a specific domain of energetic fluctuation frequency for which it can support the cell energetic needs, which we term bandwidth. Our findings reveal how the flexibility of the electron transport chain maintains bioenergetic homeostasis at all timescales in dynamic light conditions. As the dynamic balance of the cell energy occurs at the cellular level, we further show how the development of systematic and genome-wide analyses of the response to light fluctuations allows us to describe the dynamic landscape of the bioenergetic network at the cellular level. We will further discuss the potential impacts of unravelling the dynamics of the cell bioenergetic network for improving energy systems, food production, and the health of plants and humans.

Invite par l’equipe Minc, Lionel Christiaen (Michael Sars Centre, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway) va presenter un seminaire de l’Institut Jacques Monod sur le theme : Regulation of deterministic development Resume : Christiaen's research aims at understanding how tissue-specific regulatory programs and cell-cell communication coordinate cellular behavior in the context of animal development, regeneration and evolution. His laboratory focuses on mesodermal lineages that produce both heart and head muscles, using the ascidianCionaas model. His laboratory has contributed seminal findings in developmental and evolutionary biology, identifying key processes contributing to human congenital disorders. The Ciona model provides a unique opportunity to study the regulation of chordate development at single cell resolution, thanks to a highly deterministic (hard-wired?) mode of embryogenesis. However, recent attempts to uncover the impact of varying temperatures in a changing world are beginning to reveal regulative mechanisms of thermal adaptation.

Abstract : In many eukaryotes, meiotic recombination occurs preferentially at discrete sites, called recombination hotspots. In various lineages, recombination hotspots are located in regions with promoter-like features and are evolutionarily stable. Conversely, in some mammals, hotspots are driven by PRDM9 that targets recombination away from promoters. Paradoxically, PRDM9 induces the self-destruction of its targets and this triggers an ultra-fast evolution of mammalian hotspots. The reasons for the existence of these two categories of hotspots are unclear. PRDM9 is ancestral to all animals, suggesting a critical importance for the meiotic program, but has been lost in many lineages with surprisingly little effect on meiosis success. To try to understand the ?raison d'etre' of these different types of hotspots, we investigated the activity of Prdm9-dependent and Prdm9-independent recombination hotspots in several clades. I will present an overview of these analyses.

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are debilitating gynecologic conditions that affect millions of women worldwide, yet their pathophysiology remains poorly understood, leading to delayed diagnoses and limited treatment options. Emerging evidence suggests that genetic, immune, and hormonal factors contribute to disease progression, while environmental exposures may further influence disease onset and severity. Despite their significant impact on reproductive health and quality of life, these conditions remain understudied, highlighting an urgent need for innovative research approaches. By leveraging integrated multi-omics analyses, including the microbiome, immunoproteomics, and metabolomics, we can unravel the complex interactions driving these diseases. A deeper understanding of these factors will pave the way for improved diagnostics, personalized therapeutic strategies, and targeted interventions, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.

Mushuvirus mushu is a temperate bacteriophage linked to human gut bacteria. I identified its genome in 1,300-year-old paleofeces, revealing near-identical sequence to modern references, highlighting its remarkable conservation across human history. In follow-up work, I characterized the entire Mushuviridae family across tens of thousands of metagenomes, uncovering their interactions with gut-associated bacteria like Faecalibacterium, Roseburia, Blautia, and others. This study showcases how computational methods can reveal bacteriophage diversity on a global scale and expand our understanding of the human gut virome.

Understanding bacterial adaptation is key to both fundamental biology and strain engineering. In this talk, I will present my work on deep mutational scanning (DMS) to explore adaptation mediated by mutations in essential genes-critical yet underexplored drivers of bacterial evolution. To overcome limitations in mutational library diversity and editing efficiency, I developed CRISPR/Cas9-mediated error-prone editing (CREPE), achieving mutation efficiencies of 70-80%. Using CREPE, I mapped the adaptive landscape of RNA polymerase, uncovering modular domains that control global traits of growth and maintenance, with implications for optimizing engineered strains. Beyond individual gene adaptations, tracking beneficial mutations in evolving bacterial populations remains a major challenge due to low detection limits in conventional sequencing. To address this, I developed a CRISPR/Cas9-based molecular barcoding system capable of tracking over 100,000 bacterial lineages at ultra-low frequencies (10??). Applying this system to a 20,000-generation evolution experiment, I identified 250 fitness-enhancing mutations in ~30 genes-dramatically improving upon traditional approaches. These insights demonstrate how a priori knowledge of adaptation mechanisms can enable knowledge-driven microbial engineering, accelerating the development of robust industrial strains.

Invitee par l’Institut Jacques Monod, Suzette Lust (Postdoctoral researcher in Danijela Matic Vignjevic’s team – Cell migration and invasion Laboratory at Institut Curie) va presenter le seminaire sur le theme : Understanding the role of interstitial flow in vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype in the context of aortic aneurysms Ce seminaire se deroule dans le cadre des Paris Postdocs Seminars. Resume : Aortic aneurysms are abnormal enlargements of blood vessel diameter caused by aberrant extra-cellular matrix (ECM) remodelling. As the tissue dilates, it loses its mechanical integrity, exposing patients to risk of highly fatal aortic dissections or ruptures. This is mediated in part by phenotypic switching and or apoptosis of the intima-resident vascular smooth muscles (VSMCs). What drives this pathology is not well understood, particularly in the case of aneurysms in Bicuspid Aortic Valve disease (BAV) patients, a congenital condition characterised by the malformation of the aortic valve resulting in only 2 leaflets. Improvements in imaging techniques have now allowed pathological blood flow patterns to be correlated to aneurysm morphology and indeed there is increasing evidence that mechanotransduction from flow may be a driver of aneurysm development. Blood flow imparts mechanical forces to cells through stretching and frictional shear forces and we are focused here on the interstitial flow driven into the wall by differential pressure gradients within the aorta. We hypothesise that interstitial flow plays a crucial role in regulating VSMC phenotype and ECM interactions and that this may be used to correlate disrupted flow patterns seen in BAV patients to the morphology changes in their aortas. To test this hypothesis, we created a reductionist in-vitro model culturing VSMCs in 3D under interstitial flow. We combined a synthetic PEG based ECM mimicking hydrogel with primary cultures of VSCMs with a microfluidics setup. We showed hydrogels doctored with degradable bioactive peptides could be broken down by exogenous and cell derived MMPs. We measured hydrogel permeability using 2 separate techniques which confirmed the material to have a low permeability compared to other standard hydrogels, on the order of 10?16 m2. Furthermore, we characterised mass transport of solutes within hydrogels and were able to demonstrate a negligible impact of changing polymer solid content on diffusivity in hydrogels of up to 5% weight/volume for molecules up to 40 kDa in size. Via production of MMPs, VSMCs break down the hydrogel and importantly by day 7 of culture, we detected newly synthesised fibronectin, collagen 1 and 4 proteins. We stimulated encapsulated cells with interstitial flows demonstrating that cells align to the flow direction. Finally, we performed RNA sequencing on 3 human patient samples comparing standard culture conditions, non-flow stimulated encapsulated cells and interstitial-flow stimulated cells. The data set reveals significant upregulation of genes in multiple pathways associated with cyclic AMP production, which plays a crucial role in regulating VSMC contractility and calcium signalling and hence phenotype. The data suggests that this is mediated via activation of G-protein receptors leading to increased expression of adenylyl cyclase but this remains to be confirmed. In conclusion, we developed a novel in-vitro platform to study the impact of interstitial flow on VSMC behaviour. Our data suggests that interstitial flow may play a regulating role in determining VSMC phenotype with potential consequences for matrix remodelling in disease.

The development of complex in vitro models, such as organoids, gastruloids and organ-on-chips systems, will allow the better understanding of human biological processes that are otherwise difficult to address with classical in vitro 2D culture and/or with animal models. Elucidating how pathogens, such as the SARS-CoV-2, invade human cells by evading the immune system and how this could be modulated by the host microbiota has been greatly facilitated by the advancement of 3D cell culture techniques. For example, mimicking the gut peristalsis in gut-on-a-chip device improves the maturation of colon epithelial cells and aid to unveil the role of mechanical stress in accelerating enteropathogen invasion. Our lab is working on establishing unique advanced microphysiological systems that can mimic the interaction between human epithelial barriers with the surrounding tissues, such as blood vessels, mesenchyme and immune cells. My scientific project is focused on the establishment of lung-on-chip devices that cover the entire respiratory tract (from the nasopharynx to the alveoli) as a platform to understand airborne infections and tropism of respiratory viruses. There we relay both on the use of lung multipotent stem cells grown as organoids, in order to produce the different cell population of the respiratory tract, and on microfluidic chips.

However, our recent work, analyzing full fly brain connectomes, revealed remarkable heterogeneity, even within anatomically and genetically identifiable cell types. I will describe this heterogeneity in synaptic connectivity, and address where it arises developmentally. Furthermore, I will discuss how heterogeneous circuit motifs can lead to degeneracy of neuronal function, and thus to both, reliablility and flexiblity of neuronal information processing in the visual system.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent, self-renewing cells responsible for the production of all blood cell types throughout the life of an individual. Despite their location within the adult bone marrow, HSCs are generated during development from specialized endothelial cells called hemogenic endothelial cells in the main embryonic arteries (dorsal aorta, umbilical and vitelline arteries), an evolutionary conserved mechanism within vertebrate species. HSCs arise through a process called endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition, a lineage switch which is tightly regulated in time and space and polarized to the ventral side of the embryonic aorta. In this respect, HSC production is also thought to rely on a specialized microenvironment localized underneath the aortic floor that would promote the lineage switch and constitute a niche for the first HSCs. Taken together, HSC formation encompasses intrinsic cues i.e., cell autonomous and extrinsic cues that constitute an unresolved paradigm for cell and developmental biology and a challenge for regenerative medicine, as clinical de novo formation of HSCs is an unmet goal. I investigate these intrinsic and extrinsic regulations using complementary in vitro and in vivo approaches in the avian embryo, which is a reliable and accessible vertebrate model, and using human iPSCs. On one hand, I am developing an in vitro system that allows mesodermal cells to differentiate into endothelial cells, then into hemogenic endothelial cells, and finally into hematopoietic cells. This system will be used to detect the discrete cellular differentiation steps leading to HSC formation using single cell RNA sequencing technology. The main goal is to elucidate the initial steps of HSC formation to eventually optimize in vitro culture systems for clinical grade HSC production. On the other hand, I use microsurgical techniques to alter the normal microenvironment of the aorta, the cradle of HSC formation, and evaluate the consequences for HSC development. Combining these ablation experiments with spatial transcriptomic approaches will decipher the role of the aortic environment in the formation of the first HSCs. Laurent Yvernogeau is invited by Pascal Maire.

L'instabilite genetique est une caracteristique des cellules cancereuses mais aussi une cause de maladies genetiques chez l'homme. Notre apprehension des relations causales entre instabilite genetique et le developpement de pathologies humaines repose sur nos connaissances des mecanismes fondamentaux du metabolisme de l'ADN et de l'ARN, depuis l'organisation spatial et chromatinien des genomes, leur expression et regulation au cours du developpement ou en reponse a des stress environnementaux. La deregulation de ces mecanismes fondamentaux lies au metabolisme des genomes peut etre a l'origine de pathologies humaines, incluant le cancer, le vieillissement, des maladies neurologiques et des deficits immunitaires. Organisation: Des seminaires donnes par des orateurs specialistes du domaine couvrant les mecanismes fondamentaux qui gouvernent la stabilite des genomes, aux approches grandes echelles (signatures moleculaires, proteomique, NGS) et les pathologies associees. Il s'agit de valoriser comment un continuum de recherche, allant de la recherche fondamentale a la recherche clinique et translationnelle, permet de repondre a des questions de sante humaine. Des ateliers: Developpement de carriere, communication scientifique, Workshop technologique, session poster, «Elevator Pitch», presentation et moderation des orateurs par les participants.

The escalating spread and density of tick populations underscore the urgent need for enhanced surveillance and risk assessment strategies for tick-borne diseases (TBD). Biomarkers derived from the antibody response to tick saliva can be used to facilitate the surveillance of vector establishment in novel regions, assess anti-vector interventions and diagnose TBD through documentation of antecedent tick bites in suspected cases. Here, we derived short peptides from previously identified immunogenic proteins—namely IrCRT, IrSPI, and IrLIP—through bioinformatic predictive analysis using the Immune Epitope Database. ELISAs performed with experimentally controlled sheep sera infested with Ixodes ricinus were used to assess the level of antibody response of IgM and IgG to the peptides derived from these three proteins. Next, we tested the candidates on sera derived from both field and clinical isolates of tick-exposed individuals. For all sera, we obtained different IgM and IgG responses with varying degrees of immunogenicity detected per peptide. Further, through use of an exploratory microarray assay (PepperPrint™), we selected new peptides based on their ability to be recognized using serum from experimentally infested sheep. Amongst the top randomly generated peptides, we found a more specific immunogenic response against the IgG antibodies when compared to IgM. Selected candidates were further tested against experimentally-controlled infested sheep sera, as well as field and clinical isolates. Finally, candidates were cross-validated against mosquito-exposed sera to ensure vector specificity. This study offers the potential for developing new effective strategies for the surveillance and diagnosis of tick-related risks as well as the control and prevention of TBD.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a prevalent and aggressive subtype of kidney cancer. Immunotherapies that boost the ability of CD8+ T cells to eliminate cancer cells have become a standard of care for ccRCC. However, tumor infiltration of CD8+ T cells can result in contradicting clinical outcomes, potentially due to the functional heterogeneity among tumor-specific CD8+ T cells. In this study, we observed that ccRCC tumors are infiltrated by circulating (Tcirc) and tissue-resident (Trm) memory CD8+ T cells that specifically recognize autologous RCC cells in an HLA class I-dependent manner. Trm cells exhibited higher tumor reactivity but reduced stemness potential and a more exhausted state, whereas Tcirc cells retained higher stemness and cytotoxic potential. Single-cell transcriptomics revealed a rather heterogenous composition of memory populations, including cytotoxic and progenitor Tcirc subsets, as well as multiple Trm subsets, including exhausted Trm cells. TCR and trajectory analyses indicate that circulating progenitors lose their circulation, cytotoxicity and stemness potential within the tumor microenvironment while progressively acquiring a tissue-resident differentiation program followed by a terminal differentiation state. Interestingly, tumor enrichment of Trm and cytotoxic Tcirc cells predicts better survival, while exhausted Trm and total CD8+ T cells predict worse survival in RCC patients. Our findings provide new insights into the differentiation pathways and clinical impact of tumor-specific memory CD8+ T cells infiltrating human RCC tumors. Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in treating hematological cancers. However, its efficacy against solid tumors remains limited and the emergence of cancer cells that lose expression of targeted antigens promotes resistance to ACT. The mechanisms underlying effective and durable ACT-mediated tumor control are incompletely understood. Here, we show that adoptive transfer of TCR-transgenic CD8+ T cells that efficiently eliminates established murine tumors induces tumor accumulation of CD8+ T cells exhibiting tumor-reactive phenotypes. Interestingly, host CD8+ T cells contributed to ACT-mediated elimination of primary tumors and rejected ACT-resistant melanoma cells lacking the targeted antigen. Mechanistically, ACT induced TNF-?- and dendritic cell-dependent tumor accumulation of endogenous CD8+ T cells and effective tumor elimination. Importantly, although lymphodepleting preconditioning enhanced expansion of transferred cells and ACT-mediated tumor elimination, it impaired host antitumor immunity and abrogated protection against ACT-resistant tumors. Tumor enrichment of transcriptional signatures associated with TNF-? signaling, cross-presenting dendritic cells and tumor-specific CD8+ T cells in correlated with favorable responses to ACT and increased survival in human cancers. Our findings reveal that long-term efficacy of ACT is determined by the interplay between transferred and endogenous CD8+ T cells and is undermined by lymphodepleting preconditioning, which ultimately favors ACT resistance.
