Research areas :


L’Inserm UMR1152 étudie les facteurs de risque et les mécanismes cellulaires et moléculaires impliqués dans la survenue et la progression des maladies respiratoires, en particulier, l’asthme, la bronchopneumopathie bronchique obstructive (BPCO) et les fibroses pulmonaires, soit idiopathiques (FPI), soit associées aux lésions pulmonaires aigues (‘acute lung injury’, ALI, et le syndrome de détresse respiratoire aigu, SDRA). Des approches cliniques, épidémiologiques et de recherche fondamentale sont utilisées pour déterminer l’origine de ces maladies et de l’inflammation et la fibrose tissulaires qui les accompagnent. Un intérêt particulier est porté sur (i) l’analyse des mécanismes impliqués dans la perte de l’intégrité de l’épithélium respiratoire et dans les anomalies du processus de réparation, et (ii) sur l’étude de l’origine des fibroblastes pulmonaires (transition épithélio-mésenchymateuse, différenciation à partir de fibrocytes ou en myofibroblastes) et dans leurs altérations fonctionnelles (survie/apoptose, migration, prolifération).

Partner 3 hosts 4 research teams:

Team 1 – Respiratory Epidemiology: from the ethilogy of Asthma and BPCO to prognosis of lung transplantion

Contact : Pr Gabriel Thabut (gabriel.thabut@bch.aphp.paris.fr / 01.40.25.69.12)


 Team 2 – Inflammation and bronchiolar remodeling in obstructive pulmonary pathologies

Contact : Dr Marina Pretolani (marina.pretolani@inserm.fr / 01.57.27.75.86) et Pr Michel Aubier (michel.aubier@bch.aphp.fr / 01.40.25.68.00)


 

Team 3 – Inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis

Contact : Pr Bruno Crestani (bruno.crestani@bch.aphp.paris.fr / 01.40.25.86.86)


 

Team 4 –   Innate immunity and anti-infective pulmonary defences

Research themes :

Three main areas of investigation are currently being pursued in our team :

1) Study in vitro and in vivo of the role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections (an opportunistic pathogen in pulmonary nosocomial infection and in cystic fibrosis) in exacerbations of chronic lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis.

 

2) In cellvitro and in vivo study of the mechanisms through which Influenza virus, a pathogen responsible for lung infections in seasonal flu or pandemic episodes can favour bacterial super-infections and induce disease exacerbations in chronic lung diseases.

 

 

 

3) InvAu-NPsestigation of  the molecular mechanisms of action of nanoparticles  in the lung, in isolation or in conjunction with lung pathogens (S. aureus, P.aeruginosa, Influenza virus).

 

The molecular processes, techniques, reagents, signalling pathways studied and used in this context include :

-mechanisms of Pathogen Associate Molecular Pattern/PAMP receptors activation, phagocytic processes, signal transduction  pathways ; role of epithelial type 2 serine proteases (TTSPs) during Influenza infection ; interactions between microbial virulence factors, innate immune  receptors  and epithelial channels (eg le CFTR) ; study of endogenous antimicrobial molécules ; use of recombinant adenovirus vectors in over-expression protocols ; invivo rodent infection models ;  RT-qPCR ; flow cytometry ; immuno-histochemistry ; proteomics.
