Abstract
Bioprinting applications in the clinical field generate great interest, but developing suitable biomaterial inks for medical settings is a challenge. Placental tissues offer a promising solution due to their abundance, stability, and status as medical waste. They contain basement membrane components, have a clinical history, and support angiogenesis. This study formulates bioinks from two placental tissues, amnion (AM) and chorion (CHO), and compares their unique extracellular matrix (ECM) and growth factor compositions. Rheological properties of the bioinks are evaluated for bioprinting and maturation of human endothelial cells. Both AM and Cho-derived bioinks sustained human endothelial cell viability, proliferation, and maturation, promoting optimal vasculogenesis. These bioinks derived from human sources have significant potential for tissue engineering applications, particularly in supporting vasculogenesis. This research contributes to the advancement of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, bringing everyone closer to clinically viable bioprinting solutions using placental tissues as valuable biomaterials.

Abstract
When considering regenerative approaches, the efficient creation of a functional vasculature, that can support the metabolic needs of bioengineered tissues, is essential for their survival after implantation. However, it is widely recognized that the post-implantation microenvironment of the engineered tissues is often hypoxic due to insufficient vascularization, resulting in ischemia injury and necrosis. This is one of the main limitations of current tissue engineering applications aiming at replacing significant tissue volumes. Here, we have explored the use of a new biomaterial, the cell-assembled extracellular matrix (CAM), as a biopaper to biofabricate a vascular system. CAM sheets are a unique, fully biological and fully human material that has already shown stable long-term implantation in humans. We demonstrated, for the first time, the use of this unprocessed human ECM as a microperforated biopaper. Using microvalve dispensing bioprinting, concentrated human endothelial cells (30 millions ml-1) were deposited in a controlled geometry in CAM sheets and cocultured with HSFs. Following multilayer assembly, thick ECM-based constructs fused and supported the survival and maturation of capillary-like structures for up to 26 d of culture. Following 3 weeks of subcutaneous implantation in a mice model, constructs showed limited degradative response and the pre-formed vasculature successfully connected with the host circulatory system to establish active perfusion.This mechanically resilient tissue equivalent has great potential for the creation of more complex implantable tissues, where rapid anastomosis is sine qua non for cell survival and efficient tissue integration.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common malignancy of the pancreas. It has shown a poor prognosis and a rising incidence in the developed world. Other pathologies associated with this tissue include pancreatitis, a risk condition for pancreatic cancer. The onset of both pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer follows a common pattern: exocrine pancreatic acinar cells undergo a transdifferentiation to duct cells that triggers a 3D restructuration of the pancreatic tissue. However, the exact mechanism underlying this process remains partially undefined. Further understanding the cellular events leading to PDAC could open new avenues in the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Since current 2D cell culture models fail to mimic the tridimensional complexity of the pancreatic tissue, new in vitro models are urgently needed. Here, we generated 3D pancreatic cell spheroid arrays using laser-assisted bioprinting and characterized their phenotypic evolution over time through image analysis and phenotypic characterization. We show that these bioprinted spheroids, composed of both acinar and ductal cells, can replicate the initial stages of PDAC development. This bioprinted miniaturized spheroid-based array model should prove useful for the study of the internal and external factors that contribute to the formation of precursor PDAC lesions and to cancer progression, and may therefore shed light on future PDAC therapy strategies.

Abstract
Schwann cells are best known as myelinating glial cells of the peripheral nervous system, but they also participate actively in the sphere of immunity by producing pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta). In a previous study, we demonstrated that posttranslational processing of IL-1beta by immune-challenged Schwann cells required the P2X7 receptor. Remarkably, the release of IL-1beta was not associated with cell death, indicating the involvement of an active mechanism. ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters are known to transport leaderless secretory proteins, such as IL-1beta; therefore, we investigated whether such transporters were at work in Schwann cells. Mouse Schwann cells expressed ABC1 transporter mRNA and displayed the functional protein. Glybenclamide and diisothiocyanato-stilbene-disulfonic acid (DIDS), two blockers of chloride fluxes that drive the export activity of ABC1 transporters, inhibited IL-1beta release without altering its intracellular processing. Enhancing chloride efflux potentiated the release of IL-1beta, while decreasing it led to a strong reduction in its release. Because the stimulation of the P2X7 receptor also activates a chloride conductance, we investigated the possibility of a sole anionic pathway mobilized by the P2X7 receptor and ABC1. Glybenclamide and DIDS had no significant effects on the P2X7-activated chloride current suggesting therefore the existence of two different pathways. In summary, ABC1 transporters are required for the release of IL-1beta by mouse Schwann cells. Being associated together with chloride conductance, P2X7 receptors and ABC1 transporters delineate a subtle and complex regulation of IL-1beta production in mammalian Schwann cells. Furthermore, ABC1 transporters could be a target of therapeutic interest for regulating IL-1beta activity in neuroinflammation disorders.

Abstract
The antidepressant tianeptine has been shown to protect the hippocampus against the deleterious consequences of stress and to attenuate the behavioral and neuroendocrine effects of the cytokine inducer lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Since sickness symptoms are linked to peripheral and brain production of cytokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines can promote neurotoxicity, the present study was undertaken to test the possibility that tianeptine attenuates production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This hypothesis has been tested by studying the effects of a chronic intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of tianeptine (10 mg/kg twice a day for 21 days) to rats on the induction by LPS (250 microg/kg, i.p.) of the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, at the periphery (spleen, pituitary) and in the brain (hypothalamus, hippocampus). The expression of mRNAs coding for IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-6 or IL-10 (RT-PCR) and plasma levels of IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha and IL-10 (ELISA) were measured at various time intervals following LPS. Chronic tianeptine treatment attenuated LPS-induced expression of TNF-alpha in the spleen as well as plasma levels of this cytokine and altered the central balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1 beta/IL-10). These results open new vistas in the pharmacological activity of tianeptine and provide further insights on the possible mechanisms of action involved in its neuroprotective properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Accumulating evidence indicates that stress leads to an increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6. The production and action of pro-inflammatory cytokines are down-regulated by anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10. This makes IL-10-deficient mice a potentially useful model to assess the effects of stress on cytokine production. METHODS In the present study, IL-10-deficient mice were compared to wild-type mice in their behavioural and cytokine response to a chronic mild stress procedure. RESULTS The 3-week chronic mild stress decreased body weight gain and sucrose consumption. It also resulted in a decreased expression of peripheral IL-1beta and IL-6 and an increased expression of brain IL-6. This last change in IL-6 was correlated to body weight loss in stressed mice. However, IL-10-deficient mice did not differ from wild-type mice in their response to the chronic mild stress procedure, despite substantial differences in functioning of the cytokine network. CONCLUSION These results are interpreted in the context of the relationship between cytokines and behaviour.

Abstract
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) displays structural barriers and a lack of lymphatic drainage which strongly limit the access of molecules and cells from the immune system. In addition, the PNS has the ability to set up some specific mechanisms of immune protection to limit the pathogenicity of inflammation processes following insults by pathogens or inflammatory autoimmune diseases like the Guillain-Barré syndrome. Schwann cells are among the most prominent cells which can display immune capabilities in the PNS. Numerous in vitro studies have shown that Schwann cells were indeed able to display a large repertoire of properties, ranging from the participation to antigen presentation, to secretion of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and neurotrophic factors. In vivo studies have confirmed the immune capabilities of Schwann cells. The aim of this review is to present how Schwann cells can participate to the initiation, the regulation and the termination of the immune response in the light of the recent discovery of the Schwann cell expression of purinergic P2X7 receptors.

Abstract
The P2X7 receptor, mainly expressed by immune cells, is a ionotropic receptor activated by high concentration of extracellular ATP. It is involved in several processes relevant to immunomodulation and inflammation. Among these processes, the production of extracellular interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, plays a major role in the activation of the cytokine network. We have investigated the role of P2X7 receptor and of an associated calcium-activated potassium conductance (BK channels) in IL-1beta maturation and releasing processes by Schwann cells. Lipopolysaccharide-primed Schwann cells synthesized large amounts of pro-IL-1beta but did not release detectable amounts of pro or mature IL-1beta. ATP on its own had no effect on the synthesis of pro-IL-1beta, but a co-treatment with lipopolysaccharide and ATP led to the maturation and the release of IL-1beta by Schwann cells. Both mechanisms were blocked by oxidized ATP. IL-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE), the caspase responsible for the maturation of pro-IL-1beta in IL-1beta, was activated by P2X7 receptor stimulation. The specific inhibition of ICE by the caspase inhibitor Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-aldehyde blocked the maturation of IL-1beta. In searching for a link between the P2X7 receptor and the activation of ICE, we found that enhancing potassium efflux from Schwann cells upregulated the production of IL-1beta, while strongly reducing potassium efflux led to opposite effects. Blocking BK channels actually modulated IL-1beta release. Taken together, these results show that P2X7 receptor stimulation and associated BK channels, through the activation of ICE, leads to the maturation and the release of IL-1beta by immune-challenged Schwann cells.

Abstract
Several distinct findings argue in favor of conditioning of some components of the acute phase reaction. However, the possibility of a conditioned cytokine response has not been assessed. In the present study, this possibility was tested by submitting mice to place aversion conditioning with interleukin-1beta (2 microgram/mouse, ip) as the unconditioned stimulus and an odorous compartment of a two-compartment cage as the conditioned stimulus. After two pairings, conditioned mice developed place aversion towards the odorous compartment. However, this behavioral conditioning was not accompanied by any alteration in peripheral (spleen) and brain (hypothalamus) cytokine levels (interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10). These data do not support the possibility of conditioned alterations in the cytokine network.

Abstract
The antidepressant tianeptine has been shown to decrease the response of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to stress and to attenuate the behavioral effects of the cytokine inducer, lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Since LPS also activates the HPA axis, the objective of this study was to assess the effects of tianeptine on the HPA axis activation and Fos expression induced by intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of LPS (30 and 250 microg/kg respectively). Chronic, but not acute, tianeptine treatment (10 mg/kg twice a day for 15 days, i.p.) attenuated LPS-induced increase of plasma ACTH and corticosterone in rats bearing an indwelling catheter in the jugular vein and Fos immunoreactivity in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). These results open new vistas on the pharmacological activity of tianeptine and provide further insights on the action mechanisms of antidepressants in clinics.

Abstract
To test the possibility that the vagus nerve is involved in the communication between the immune system and the brain, we injected sham-operated and vagotomized mice with physiological saline or lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 400 micrograms/kg ip). Vagotomy attenuated LPS-induced depression of general activity measured 2 h after treatment but did not alter the increase in plasma levels of IL-1 beta in response to LPS. In addition, vagotomy abrogated the LPS-induced increase in the levels of transcripts for IL-1 beta, as determined by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction after reverse transcription, in the hypothalamus and hippocampus, but not in the pituitary of vagotomized mice. This relationship between the effects of vagotomy on the behavioral effects of LPS and the LPS-induced brain expression of IL-1 beta mRNA indicates that vagal afferent fibers play a prominent role in the pathways of communication between the immune system and the brain.
