    Les eĢveĢ€nements cardiovasculaires sont la premieĢ€re cause de mortaliteĢ chez les patients insuffisants reĢnaux chroniques. Ces complications font suite aĢ€ des modifications structurelles et fonctionnelles de la paroi vasculaire regroupeĢes sous le terme de vasculopathie ureĢmique. ParalleĢ€lement aĢ€ ces modifications vasculaires, lā€™ureĢmie sā€™accompagne dā€™une accumulation de substances non eĢpureĢes par le rein appeleĢes toxines ureĢmiques, telles que les produits de la glycation avanceĢe (AGEs) ou les ligands de RAGE. Ces toxines peuvent interagir avec leur reĢcepteur, RAGE, qui est pro- inflammatoire et impliqueĢ dans le remodelage arteĢriel. Cette theĢ€se a consisteĢ en lā€™eĢtude, chez la souris, du roĢ‚le de lā€™accumulation des ligands de RAGE et de leur interaction avec celui-ci dans le deĢveloppement de lā€™atheĢroscleĢrose, des calcifications vasculaires et de la thrombose arteĢrielle au cours de lā€™insuffisance reĢnale chronique (IRC). Dans un premier temps, nous avons montreĢ que lā€™IRC conduisait aĢ€ une accumulation des AGEs et des ligands de RAGE seĢriques et tissulaires, ainsi quā€™une augmentation de lā€™expression de RAGE au sein de la paroi vasculaire participant aĢ€ la formation des plaques dā€™atheĢrome. Dans un second temps, nous avons deĢmontreĢ que RAGE participait aux calcifications vasculaires favorisant lā€™expression de co-transporteur de phosphate inorganique (Pit-1), induisant la diffeĢrenciation des cellules musculaires lisses en cellules Ā« osteoblast-like Ā». Enfin, nous avons montreĢ que RAGE participait aĢ€ la formation dā€™un thrombus arteĢriel duĢ‚ aĢ€ une hyperactiviteĢ plaquettaire. En conclusion, cette theĢ€se a permis de renforcer le concept que lā€™axe ligands de RAGE/RAGE est un acteur important dans la vasculopathie ureĢmique.Cardiovascular events are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic kidney disease patients. These complications are due to structural and functional changes in the vascular wall named uraemic vasculopathy. Alongside these vascular changes, uremia is accompanied by the retention of various solutes that are normally excreted by the kidneys called uremic toxins, such as the products of advanced glycation (AGEs) or the ligands of RAGE. These toxins may interact with their receptor, RAGE, which is pro-inflammatory and involved in arterial remodeling. The aim of this thesis was to study, in mice, the role of the accumulation of RAGE ligands and their interaction with it in the development of atherosclerosis, vascular calcification and arterial thrombosis in chronic renal failure (CKD). Initially, we showed that CKD leads to an accumulation of serum and tissue AGEs and RAGE ligands, as well as an increase in RAGE expression in the vascular wall involved in atheroma plaque formation. Secondly, we have demonstrated that RAGE is involved in vascular calcification promoting the expression of inorganic phosphate cotransporter (Pit-1), inducing the differentiation of smooth muscle cells "osteoblast-like". Finally, we showed that RAGE participated in the formation of arterial thrombus due to platelet hyperactivity. In conclusion this thesis consolidates that RAGE-RAGE ligands axis is an important actor in uremic vasculopathy
