Etude de la migration des neutrophiles dans les organes lymphoïdes

Le rôle des neutrophiles dans la réponse immunitaire innée est bien connu. Ils résident dans le sang et ont une durée de vie limitée à quelques heures. Suite à une infection, ils quittent le flux sanguin et se dirigent vers les sites inflammatoires en réponse à des chimiokines produites par des cellules endothéliales et des fibroblastes. Au niveau du site d’inflammation, les neutrophiles phagocytent et éliminent les pathogènes extracellulaires, et produisent des cytokines inflammatoires. Des travaux récents montrent que les neutrophiles peuvent également jouer un rôle dans l’immunité adaptative. En effet, ils ont la capacité de transporter des antigènes vers les ganglions lymphatiques, d’induire la différenciation des lymphocytes et d’influencer la réponse immune adaptative par la production de cytokines. La fonction des neutrophiles dans l’induction et/ou la régulation de la réponse adaptative requiert l’interaction entre ceux-ci et d’autres populations cellulaires, telles que les cellules dendritiques et les lymphocytes. Nous avons donc examiné la localisation des neutrophiles au niveau de la rate dans des conditions basales ou inflammatoires. D’une manière générale, nos résultats montrent que, en cas d’infection, les neutrophiles migrent vers la pulpe blanche de la rate et se localisent en contact étroit avec les lymphocytes T. Ce phénomène de migration est dépendant des molécules CD14 et MyD88 et corrèle avec l’augmentation de l’expression des chimiokines CXCL1 et 2, ainsi qu’avec la diminution de l’expression du récepteur CXCR2 à la surface des neutrophiles. Cependant, au niveau de la cavité péritonéale, le recrutement des neutrophiles est augmenté en absence de la molécule CD14. Nos résultats montrent que la migration des neutrophiles, dans les organes lymphoïdes et non lymphoïdes, est dirigée par des mécanismes différents.

Injection of lipopolysaccharide induces the migration of splenic neutrophils to the T cell area of the white pulp: role of CD14 and CXC chemokines.

There is increasing evidence that neutrophils are involved in the regulation of adaptive immunity. We therefore tested whether these cells may colocalize with T lymphocytes in lymphoid organs. Our results demonstrate that administration of the microbial product LPS induces the migration of neutrophils in the spleen from the red pulp and the marginal zone to the area of the white pulp where T cells reside. This movement is CD14-dependent, whereas the recruitment of neutrophils in the peritoneal cavity is increased in the absence of CD14. Our data further suggest the involvement of the chemokine MIP-2 and keratinocyte-derived chemokine and their receptor CXCR2. We conclude that neutrophils may interact with naïve T cells upon infection/inflammation and that the migration of neutrophils in the lymphoid organs and in the periphery is regulated differently by a signal transduced by CD14.Journal ArticleResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

The Dualisation of Social Policies towards Young People in France: Between Familism and Activation

The mass expansion of higher education, the extension of the typical duration of studies and growing difficulties in entering the labour market have changed the transition from youth to adulthood. For these reasons some authors refer to youth as a ‘new age of life’ (Galland, 1993) or, in psychological terms, as ‘emerging adulthood’ (Arnett, 2000). In the literature on youth and the transition to adulthood, many typologies have been proposed in order to analyse the various possible institutional national arrangements that shape this transition (Breen and Buchmann, 2002; Van de Velde, 2008; Wallace and Bendit, 2009; Walther, 2006). They all rely on the seminal three-term typology of ‘welfare regimes’ developed by Esping-Andersen (Esping-Andersen, 1990) and further modified by Gallie and Paugam (Gallie and Paugam, 2000), who added a fourth type following the insights of Ferrera (Ferrera, 1996)
