Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Parental guidance is essential for supporting parental involvement, maintaining the quality and safety of infant care, and limiting parental stress. The efficiency of a new tool to support parental empowerment - "Step by step with my baby" - was evaluated. The perception of this tool by parents and nurses was studied. METHODS This was a prospective, observational study conducted from September 2019 to December 2020 at a level-3 neonatal center. A total of 79 newborns (<33 weeks of gestational age or small for gestational age), 84 parents, and 94 nurses were included. The new tool that was evaluated is in the form of a drawing of flowers to be colored according to the parents' ability to care for their newborn. Six domains were explored and given a score (total of 35 points) according to the parents' ability to care for each item: behavior, skin-to-skin contact, carrying, oral and tube feeding, and routine care. The use and relevance of this tool were evaluated by parents and caregivers. RESULTS At a mean of 19 days of life, parents required caregiver support regardless of the skill domain (6/35). After 26 days, the mean score increased to 19.4 (p < 0.05). Parents felt autonomous in changing diapers and monitoring temperature but always required help for skin-to-skin contact, carrying, and feeding with or without a tube. The progression was not affected by the presence of siblings, the distance from home, and staying in the parental hospital room. For 67 % of the parents, the tool gave them a better understanding of their newborn and helped them be more confident (69 %) without feeling judged (81 %). These feelings were upheld by nurses. CONCLUSIONS This tool was efficient for evaluating parents' autonomy and helped them take ownership of the care provided.

Abstract
Introduction: Many studies have evaluated the Neonatal Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP), but few studies have assessed changes in infant- and family-centered developmental care (IFCDC) practices during its implementation. Objectives: The primary objective of this single center study was to investigate the impact of the implementation of the NIDCAP program on IFCDC practices used for management of extremely preterm infants (EPIs). The secondary objective was to determine during implementation the impact of this program on the short-term medical outcomes of all EPIs hospitalized at our center. Methods: All EPIs (<28 weeks gestational age) who were hospitalized at Strasbourg University Hospital from 2007 to 2014 were initially included. Outborn infants were excluded. The data of EPIs were compared for three time periods: 2007 to 2008 (pre-NIDCAP), 2010 to 2011, and 2013 to 2014 (during-NIDCAP implementation) using appropriate statistical tests. The clinical and caring procedures used during the first 14 days of life were analyzed, with a focus on components of individualized developmental care (NIDCAP observations), infant pain management (number of painful procedures, clinical pain assessment), skin-to-skin contact (SSC; frequency, day of initiation, and duration), and family access and involvement in the care of their children (duration of parental presence, parental participation in care). The short-term mortality and morbidity at discharge were evaluated. Results: We examined 228 EPIs who received care during the three time periods. Over time, painful procedures decreased, but pain evaluations, parental involvement in care, individualized observations, and SSC increased (all p < 0.01). In addition, the first SSC was performed earlier (p = 0.03) and lasted longer (p < 0.01). There were no differences in mortality and morbidity, but there were reductions in the duration of mechanical ventilation (p = 0.02) and the time from birth to first extubation (p = 0.02), and an increase of weight gain at discharge (p = 0.02). Conclusion: NIDCAP implementation was accompanied by progressive, measurable, and significant changes in IFCDC strategies. There were, concomitantly, moderate but statistically significant improvements in multiple important outcome measures of all hospitalized EPI.

Abstract
Background: Early diagnosis is essential to improve the treatment and prognosis of newborn infants with nosocomial bacterial infections. Although cytokines and procalcitonin (PCT) have been evaluated as early inflammatory markers, their diagnostic properties have rarely been compared. Objectives: This study evaluated and compared the ability of individual inflammatory markers available for clinician (PCT, semi-quantitative determination of IL-8) and of combinations of markers (CRPi plus IL-6 or quantitative or semi-quantitative determination of IL-8) to diagnose bacterial nosocomial infections in neonates. Methods: This prospective two-center study included neonates suspected of nosocomial infections from September 2008 to January 2012. Inflammatory markers were measured initially upon suspicion of nosocomial infection, and CRP was again measured 12-24 h later. Newborns were retrospectively classified into two groups: those who were infected (certainly or probably) and uninfected (certainly or probably). Results: The study included 130 infants of median gestational age 28 weeks (range, 24-41 weeks). Of these, 34 were classified as infected and 96 as uninfected. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV), and positive and negative likelihood ratios (LR+ and LR-) for PCT were 59.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 38.8-77.6%), 78.5% (95% CI, 67.8-86.9%), 48.5% (95% CI, 30.8-66.5%), 84.9% (95% CI, 74.6-92.2%), 2.7 (95% CI, 1.6-4.9), and 0.5 (95% CI, 0.3-0.8), respectively. Semi-quantitative IL-8 had the highest specificity (92.19%; 95% CI, 82.70-97.41%), PPV (72.22%; 95% CI, 46.52-90.30%) and LR+ (6.17, 95% CI, 2.67-28.44), but had low specificity (48.15%; 95% CI, 28.67-68.05%). Of all markers tested, the combination of IL-6 and CRPi had the highest sensitivity (78.12%; 95% CI, 60.03-90.72%), NPV (91.3%; 95% CI, 82.38-96.32%) and LR- (0.29; 95% CI, 0.12-0.49). The combination of IL-6 and CRPi had a higher area under the curve than PCT, but with borderline significance (p = 0.055). Conclusions: The combination of IL-6 and CRPi was superior to other methods, including PCT, for the early diagnosis of nosocomial infection in neonates, but was not sufficient for sole use. The semi-quantitative determination of IL-8 had good diagnostic properties but its sensitivity was too low for use in clinical practice.

Abstract
Arousal anxiety has a great impact on reaction time, physiological parameters and motor performance. Numerous studies have focused on the influence of anxiety on muscular activity during simple non ecologic task. We investigate the impact of a moderate state-anxiety (arousal stressor) on the specific component of a complex multi-joint ecologic movement during a reaction time task of auditory stimulus-response. Our objective is to know if central and peripheral voluntary motor processes were modulated in the same way by an arousal stressor. Eighteen women volunteers performed simple reaction time tasks of auditory stimulus-response. Video-recorded Stroop test with interferences was used to induced moderate state-anxiety. Electromyographic activity of the wrist extensor was recorded in order to analyse the two components of the reaction time: the premotor and motor time. In anxiogenic condition, an acceleration and an increase of muscular activity of the reaction time was obtained. This increase was due to a stronger muscle activity during the premotor time in the anxiogenic condition. Arousal anxiety has a different impact on central and peripheral voluntary motor processes. The modifications observed could be related to an increase in arousal related to a higher anxiety in order to prepare the body to act.

Abstract
AIM This prospective observational study was designed to improve our understanding of the responses of very preterm infants to light level variations in incubators and to evaluate what determined those reactions. METHODS The physiological responses of 27 very preterm infants were analysed following variations in the light level environments of their incubators over 10 hours. Heart and respiratory rates, systemic oxygen saturation and regional cerebral oxygen saturations were recorded using near-infrared spectroscopy, and the variation of each parameter was analysed. RESULTS We analysed 332 light level changes. Heart rate increased by 3.8 beats per minute (range -2.6 to 12.6), respiratory rate by six cycles per minute (-1.5 to 26) and regional cerebral oxygen saturation by 1.1% (-0.5% to 3.9%) (p < 0.05 each) when delta lux was over 50. Only respiratory rate decreased significantly, by -8.4 cycles per minute (-28 to -0.4), when delta lux was 50 or lower (p < 0.05). The initial level of illumination altered the very preterm infants' responses, with higher reactivity for higher ambient light levels. CONCLUSION Very preterm infants reacted to moderate variations in illumination in their incubator, within recommended ranges of light levels, suggesting that they may detect even small light level variations.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the impact of moderate noise on the sleep of very early preterm infants (VPI). METHODS Observational study of 26 VPI of 26-31 weeks' gestation, with prospective measurements of sound pressure level and concomitant video records. Sound peaks were identified and classified according to their signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) above background noise. Prechtl's arousal states during sound peaks were assessed by two observers blinded to the purpose of the study. Changes in sleep/arousal states following sound peaks were compared with spontaneous changes during randomly selected periods without sound peaks. RESULTS We identified 598 isolated sound peaks (5 ≤ SNR < 10 decibel slow response A (dBA), n = 518; 10 ≤ SNR < 15 dBA, n = 80) during sleep. Awakenings were observed during 33.8% (95% CI, 24-43.7%) of exposures to sound peaks of 5-10 dBA SNR and 39.7% (95% CI, 26-53.3%) of exposures to sound peaks of SNR 10-15 dBA, but only 11.7% (95% CI, 6.2-17.1%) of control periods. The proportions of awakenings following sound peaks were higher than the proportions of arousals during control periods (p < 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Moderate acoustic changes can disrupt the sleep of VPI, and efficient sound abatement measures are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Infant crying is a major expression of distress and can occur without any exogenous stimulation. Little is known, however, about the effects of crying on physiological homeostasis in very preterm infants (VPIs). METHODS Environmental, behavioral (video and audio recording) and physiologic (heart rate [HR], respiratory rate [RR], and systemic [SaO(2)] and regional cerebral oxygenation [rSO(2)]) parameters were prospectively evaluated over 10h in 18 VPIs (median gestational age, 28 [27-31] weeks). Only episodes of "spontaneous" and isolated cries were analyzed. Changes in parameters were compared over 5-second periods between baselines and 40s following the onset of crying. Two periods were distinguished: 0-20s (a) and 20-40s (b). Minimal and/or maximal values in these periods were also compared to the baseline. RESULTS Of the 18 VPIs initially studied, 13 (72%) presented crying episodes (CE). They experienced 210 "spontaneous" and isolated CE, with a median of 9 [range, 1-63] CEs per child. Physiological values varied significantly from the baseline with mainly a mean decrease in HR of -4.8±5.3 beats/min (b) after an initial mean increase of +2.6±2.0 beats/min (a); a mean decrease in RR of -3.8±4.8 cycles/min (a), followed by a mean increase of +5.6±7.3 cycles/min (b) and mean unidirectional decreases in SaO(2) and rSO(2) (minimal values) of -1.8±2.3% and -2.5±3.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION Spontaneous cries can alter the homeostasis of VPIs. Their possible adverse consequences and high occurrence emphasize the need for better prevention and response to them.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Very early preterm infants (VPIs) are exposed to unpredictable noise in neonatal intensive care units. Their ability to perceive moderate acoustic environmental changes has not been fully investigated. RESULTS Physiological values of the 598 isolated sound peaks (SPs) that were 5-10 and 10-15 dB slow-response A (dBA) above background noise levels and that occurred during infants' sleep varied significantly, indicating that VPIs detect them. Exposure to 10-15 dBA SPs during active sleep significantly increased mean heart rate and decreased mean respiratory rate and mean systemic and cerebral oxygen saturations relative to baseline. DISCUSSION VPIs are sensitive to changes in their nosocomial acoustic environment, with a minimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) threshold of 5-10 dBA. These acoustic changes can alter their well-being. METHODS In this observational study, we evaluated their differential auditory sensitivity to sound-pressure level (SPL) increments below 70-75 dBA equivalent continuous level in their incubators. Environmental (SPL and audio recording), physiological, cerebral, and behavioral data were prospectively collected over 10 h in 26 VPIs (GA 28 (26-31) wk). SPs emerging from background noise levels were identified and newborns' arousal states at the time of SPs were determined. Changes in parameters were compared over 5-s periods between baseline and the 40 s following the SPs depending on their SNR thresholds above background noise.

Abstract
C2GnT-I [core2 beta(1,6)-N-acetyglucosaminyltransferase-I] and FucT-VII [alpha(1,3)-fucosyltransferase-VII] are the key enzymes for the biosynthesis of sialyl-Lewis x determinants on selectin ligands and therefore they represent good drug targets for the treatment of inflammatory disorders and other pathologies involving selectins. In the present study, we examined the importance of N-glycosylation for the ability of C2GnT-I and FucT-VII to generate functional selectin ligands, particularly the PSGL-1 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1). We found that (i) both enzymes have their two N-glycosylation sites occupied, (ii) for C2GnT-I, the N-glycan chain linked to Asn-95 significantly contributes to the synthesis of functional PSGL-1 and is required to localize the enzyme to the cis/medial-Golgi compartment, (iii) all N-glycosylation-deficient proteins of FucT-VII displayr a dramatic impairment of their in vitro enzymatic activities, but retain their ability to fucosylate the core2-modified PSGL-I and to generate P- and L-selectin binding, and (iv) the glycomutants of FucT-VII fail to synthesize sialyl-Lewis x or to generate E-selectin binding unless core2-modified PSGL-1 is present. All combined, our results show a differential functional impact of N-glycosylation on C2GnT-1 and FucT-VII and disclose that a strongly reduced FucT-VII activity retains the ability to fucosylate PSGL-1 on the core2-based binding site(s) for the three selectins.

Abstract
In acute experiments performed in decerebrated and spinalized (T13) cats, an intraspinal injection of clonidine, a noradrenergic agonist, restricted to mid-lumbar segments L3–L4, can induce hindlimb locomotion, whereas yohimbine, a noradrenergic antagonist, can block spinal locomotion, and a second spinal lesion at L4 can abolish all locomotor activity. In the present study, we investigated whether the abolition of locomotion after this second spinal lesion was due to an acute spinal shock or to the functional disconnection of the rostral and caudal lumbar segments. In seven cats, first spinalized at T13 and having recovered treadmill locomotion, a second transection was performed at lower lumbar levels. Video and electromyographic recordings were used to evaluate locomotor performance. Results show that after a second transection at L2 or rostral L3 levels, spinal locomotion was maintained; when the second lesion was performed at caudal L3 or L4, all locomotor activity was abolished even after several weeks of attempted locomotor training; vigorous fast paw shakes (FPS) were observed in all cases; and after an intraperitoneal injection of clonidine in cats with a second transection below L4, perineal stimulation induced hyperextension of the hindlimbs but no locomotion. Considering that the main motoneuron pools of the hindlimbs are caudal to L4 and are still functional after the second spinal transection, as evidenced by the presence of FPS, we conclude that the mid-lumbar spinal segments are essential for the specific expression of spinal locomotion but not necessarily for other rhythmic motor patterns.

Abstract
The integral membrane adaptor protein linker for activation of T cells (LAT) couples the T-cell receptor (TCR) with downstream signalling and is essential for T-cell development and activation. Here, we investigate the dynamic distribution of LAT-GFP fusion proteins by time-lapse video imaging of live T lymphocytes interacting with antigen-presenting cells. We show that LAT forms two distinct cellular pools, one at the plasma membrane and one that co-distributes with transferrin-labelled intracellular compartments also containing the TCR/CD3-associated zeta chain. The distribution of LAT between these two pools is dependent on LAT intracytoplasmic residues. Whereas plasma membrane-associated LAT is recruited to immune synapses after a few seconds of cell conjugate formation, the intracellular pool is first polarized and then recruited after a few minutes. We further show that LAT intracytoplasmic amino acid residues, particularly the Tyr136, 175, 195 and 235 residues, are required for its own recruitment to the immune synapse and that a herein-identified juxtamembrane LAT region (amino acids 32-104) is involved in the localization of LAT in intracellular pools and in T-cell signalling. Altogether, our results demonstrate that LAT controls its own recruitment at the immune synapse, where it is required as a scaffold protein for the signalling machinery. The results also suggest that the intracellular pool of LAT might be required for T-cell activation.

Abstract
Primary deficiency of surfactant is responsible for the respiratory distress syndrome and concerns premature neonates born before 33 weeks of gestation. However, newborns may develop respiratory disorders related to a secondary deficiency or dysfunction of surfactant. We report the course of three extremely low birth weight premature infants who experienced clinical respiratory decompensation at two weeks and showed a marked improvement after exogenous natural surfactant administration.

Abstract
This paper reviews findings on the adaptive changes of locomotion in cats after spinal cord or peripheral nerve lesions. From the results obtained after lesions of the ventral/ventrolateral pathways or the dorsal/dorsolateral pathways, we conclude that with extensive but partial spinal lesions, cats can regain voluntary quadrupedal locomotion on a treadmill. Although tract-specific deficits remain after such lesions, intact descending tracts can compensate for the lesioned tracts and access the spinal network to generate voluntary locomotion. Such neuroplasticity of locomotor control mechanisms is also demonstrated after peripheral nerve lesions in cats with intact or lesioned spinal cords. Some models have shown that recovery from such peripheral nerve lesions probably involves changes at the supra spinal and spinal levels. In the case of somesthesic denervation of the hindpaws, we demonstrated that cats with a complete spinal section need some cutaneous inputs to walk with a plantigrade locomotion, and that even in this spinal state, cats can adapt their locomotion to partial cutaneous denervation. Altogether, these results suggest that there is significant plasticity in spinal and supraspinal locomotor controls to justify the beneficial effects of early proactive and sustained locomotor training after central (Rossignol and Barbeau 1995; Barbeau et al. 1998) or peripheral lesions.Key words: spinal lesions, nerve lesions, locomotion, neuroplisticity, locomotor training.

Abstract
During inflammation, E- and P-selectins appear on activated endothelial cells to interact with leukocytes through sialyl-Lewis x and sialyl-Lewis a antigens (sLe(x/a)). These selectins can also interact with tumor cells in a sialyl-Lewis-dependent manner and for this reason, they are thought to play a key role in metastasis. Diverting the biosynthesis of sialyl-Lewis antigens toward nonadhesive structures is an attractive gene therapy for preventing the hematogenous metastatic spread of cancers. We have previously shown that transfection of alpha(1,2)-fucosyltransferase-I (FUT1) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells had a slight effect on the overall sialylation while the synthesis of sLE(x) was dramatically prevented. We herein delivered the gene of FUT1 by a human immunodeficiency virus-derived lentiviral vector to three human cancer cell lines including pancreatic (BxPC3), hepatic (HepG2), and colonic (HT-29) cancer cells. We found that on FUT1 transduction, all cells exhibited a dramatic decrease in sLe(x) synthesis with a concomitant increase in Le(y) and Le(b) expression, without any detectable effect on the level of cell surface sLe(a) antigens. In parallel, FUT1-transduced HT-29 and HepG2 cells, but not BxPC3 cells, failed to interact with E-selectin as assessed by E-selectin-binding assay or dynamic adhesion to activated endothelial cells. We show also that transduced FUT1 efficiently fucosylates the P-selectin ligand PSGL-1 without altering P-selectin binding. These results have important implications for understanding cell-specific reactions underlying the synthesis of selectin ligands in cancer cells and may provide a basis for the development of anti-metastatic gene therapy.

Abstract
In most species, locomotor function beneath the level of a spinal cord lesion can be restored even if the cord is completely transected. This suggests that there is, within the spinal cord, an autonomous network of neurons capable of generating a locomotor pattern independently of supraspinal inputs. Recent studies suggest that several physiological and neurochemical changes have to occur in the neuronal networks located caudally to the lesion to allow the expression of spinal locomotion. Some evidence of this plasticity will be addressed in this review. In addition, original data on the functional organisation of the lumbar spinal cord will also be presented. Recent works in our lab show that segmental responsiveness of the spinal cord of the cat to locally micro-injected drugs in different lumbar segments, in combination with complete lesions at various level of the spinal cord, suggest a rostro-caudal organisation of spinal locomotor control. Moreover, the integrity of midlumbar segments seems to be crucial for the expression of spinal locomotion. These data suggest that the regions of critical importance for locomotion can be confined to a restricted portion of the spinal cord. Later, these midlumbar segments could be targeted by electrical stimulation or grafts to improve recovery of function. Understanding the changes in spinal cord neurophysiology and neurochemistry after a lesion is of critical importance to the improvement of treatments for locomotor rehabilitation in spinal-cord-injured patients.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that rafts are involved in numerous cell functions, including membrane traffic and signaling. Here we demonstrate, using a polyoxyethylene ether Brij 98, that detergent-insoluble microdomains possessing the expected biochemical characteristics of rafts are present in the cell membrane at 37 degrees C. After extraction, these microdomains are visualized as membrane vesicles with a mean diameter of approximately 70 nm. These findings provide further evidence for the existence of rafts under physiological conditions and are the basis of a new isolation method allowing more accurate analyses of raft structure. We found that main components of T cell receptor (TCR) signal initiation machinery, i.e. TCR-CD3 complex, Lck and ZAP-70 kinases, and CD4 co-receptor are constitutively partitioned into a subset of rafts. Functional studies in both intact cells and isolated rafts showed that upon ligation, TCR initiates the signaling in this specialized raft subset. Our data thus strongly indicate an important role of rafts in organizing TCR early signaling pathways within small membrane microdomains, both prior to and following receptor engagement, for efficient TCR signal initiation upon stimulation.

Abstract
Antigen-independent adhesive interactions between T lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are essential for scanning for specific antigens on the APC surface and for initiating the immune response. Here we show, through time-lapse imaging of live cells, that the intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM-3, also known as CD50) is clustered specifically at the region of the T lymphocyte surface that initiates contact with APCs. We describe the role of ICAM-3 in T cell-APC conjugate formation before antigen recognition, in early intracellular signaling and in cytoskeletal rearrangement. Our data indicate that ICAM-3 is important in the initial scanning of the APC surface by T cells and, therefore, in generating the immune response.

Abstract
The beta 1,6 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (C2GnT) has been recently mapped to the cis/medial-Golgi compartment. To analyze the Golgi-targeting determinants of C2GnT, we constructed various deletion mutants of the enzyme fused to the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and localized these proteins by fluorescence microscopy in living cells. We found that the N-terminal peptide encompassing amino acids 1 to 32 represents the minimal Golgi-targeting signal sufficient to localize EGFP to the same compartment as the full-length C2GnT. This peptide makes up the cytoplasmic and the transmembrane domains of the enzyme and was referred to as CTd (cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains). We compared the Golgi-targeting efficiency of the C2GnT-derived CTd with its homologous domains from other glycosyltransferases, including the H-type alpha(1,2)-fucosyltransferase (FucTI), the polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-I (GalNAcT-I), the alpha(1,3)-fucosyltransferase VII (FucTVII), and the alpha(2,6)-sialyltransferase (ST6Gal-I) and found that the Golgi-targeting determinants of these glycosyltransferases were also composed of their cytosolic and transmembrane domains. To investigate whether the CTd of C2GnT could serve as a cis to medial Golgi-specific signal, we tested its ability to mislocalize two late-Golgi acting glycosyltransferases FucTI and FucTVII. We show that fusing the C2GnT-derived CTd with the catalytic domain of FucTVII resulted in a complete mislocalization of the enzyme to the C2GnT compartment, with a parallel alteration of sialyl-Lewis x synthesis and P-selectin binding. The intracellular distribution and activity of FucTI, however, were not affected. Thus, CTds of either early or late-Golgi acting glycosyltransferases represent the Golgi-targeting domains of these enzymes. In addition, we show that C2GnT-derived CTd can function as a cis/medial Golgi-targeting determinant.

Abstract
Hindlimb sensory deprivation is known to induce a decrease in the cortical representation of hindpaw, and an increase in the size of the cutaneous receptive fields. The aim of the present study was to determine (i) the time-course of recovery when the rat retrieves a normal use of its limbs after a 14-day period of sensory disruption and (ii) whether a 1-day period of sensory deprivation is sufficient to induce a plasticity. Our results indicate that the remodelling of the cortical map was not observed after 1 day of sensory deprivation. On the other hand, the recovery was achieved after 6 h. These findings suggest that a procedure reducing sensory function resulted in reversible changes in the somatosensory cortex. The recovery was more rapid than the induction of plasticity.

Abstract
There have been many reports describing modifications of the sensory and motor cortex following various types of disuse. Hypodynamia--hypokinesia is characterized by the absence of weight-bearing and by a decrease in motor activity. We have shown a reorganization of the cortical cartography after hypodynamia--hypokinesia. In order to give an anatomical account for this cortical plasticity, we set out to determine whether cerebral and spinal structures exhibited variations of their neuronal activation. For this purpose, immunocytochemical detection of Fos protein was performed in the rat brain and spinal cord. Following stimulation of the sciatic nerve, Fos protein was detected in the primary and secondary somatosensory cortex in control rats and in rats submitted to an episode of 14 days of hypodynamia--hypokinesia. Results showed that the stimulation of the sciatic nerve induced an increase in the number of Fos-immunoreactive neurons in all these structures. Moreover, after hypodynamia--hypokinesia, the number of Fos-immunoreactive neurons was increased in the primary and secondary somatosensory cortex and in the spinal cord. These results provide evidence for a higher activation of cortical cells after hypodynamia--hypokinesia in comparison to controls. These data support the hypothesis that hypodynamia--hypokinesia contributes to the development of functional plasticity.

Abstract
The recent recognition of the presence of rafts in the plasma membrane and of their involvement in cell signaling has strongly stimulated the search for their function in receptor-mediated signal transduction in lymphocytes. Recent progress suggests that a general feature of membrane rafts is to serve as platforms wherein the signaling cascades triggered through different multichain immune recognition receptors (e.g. the TCR, BCR and FcepsilonRI) are initiated and organized.

Abstract
It is well known that both neuromuscular and perceptual properties are affected during spaceflight. These modificaitons can therefore induce dramatic alterations in the mechanical basis of movements and locomotion disturbances. The main objectives of this study were: 1) to examine whether the nervous control of muscular activity in the upper limbs of the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) was modified in a microgravity environment; and 2) to quantify the electromyographic (EMG) pattern of biceps (BI) and triceps (TRI) muscles pre-, in-, and postflight during performance of goal-directed movements and locomotion.

Abstract
Since the last 25 years, the cortex is considered as a dynamic entity, susceptible of changes. Various types of modifications in stimuli may lead to the plasticity of the target neurons. These include immobilisation, denervation, amputation, deafferentation... In the somatosensory system, the most important changes are a substantial reorganisation of the cortical somatotopic representation, and an enlargement of the receptive fields (RF) of cortical neurons. Hindlimb suspension (HS) is characterized by the absence of weight-bearing and a reduced motor activity. In these conditions, the cutaneous receptors located on the foot sole are deactivated. Our hypothesis is that this condition of HS can produce a reorganisation of the somatosensory cortex (SmI) and a modification in the size of the cutaneous RF.

Abstract
This study was performed to determine if hypodynamia-hypokinesia (HH) could induce a reorganization of the rat somatosensory cortex. The cortical hindpaw representation was determined by stimulating the limb and recording multi-unit cortical activity. The size of the cutaneous receptive fields was also measured. After 14 days of HH, the size of the cortical hindpaw representation was decreased. The proportion of small cutaneous receptive fields decreased while the large ones increased. After 7 days of HH, no change in the two studied parameters was noticed in five animals. In the other rats, a number of sites unresponsive to cutaneous stimulation or with high thresholds was observed. This study provides evidence of a plasticity of the somatosensory cortex induced by a situation that reduces both sensory and motor functions. The cortical reorganization occurs in two stages.

Abstract
T-cell receptors (TCRs) upon binding to peptide-MHC ligands transduce signals in T lymphocytes. Tyrosine phosphorylations in the cytoplasmic domains of the CD3 (gammadeltaepsilon) and zeta subunits of the TCR complex by Src family kinases initiate the signaling cascades via docking and activation of ZAP-70 kinase and other signaling components. We examined the role of the low-density detergent-insoluble membranes (DIMs) in TCR signaling. Using mouse thymocytes as a model, we characterized the structural organization of DIMs in detail. We then demonstrated that TCR engagement triggered an immediate increase in the amount of TCR/CD3 present in DIMs, which directly involves the engaged receptor complexes. TCR/CD3 recruitment is accompanied by the accumulation of a series of prominent tyrosine-phosphorylated substrates and by an increase of the Lck activity in DIMs. Upon TCR stimulation, the DIM-associated receptor complexes are highly enriched in the hyperphosphorylated p23 zeta chains, contain most of the TCR/CD3-associated, phosphorylation-activated ZAP-70 kinases and seem to integrate into higher order, multiple tyrosine-phosphorylated substrate-containing protein complexes. The TCR/CD3 recruitment was found to depend on the activity of Src family kinases. We thus provide the first demonstration of recuitment of TCR/CD3 to DIMs upon receptor stimulation and propose it as a mechanism whereby TCR engagement is coupled to downstream signaling cascades.

Abstract
Although much has been learned about CD8 structure-function properties, it has so far not been tested whether the nature of the TCR is sufficient to transfer the property of CD8 dependence versus non-dependence to CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and their precursors differentiating in T cell receptor (TCR)-transgenic (Tg) mice. In the present study, we compared the characteristics of dependence on CD8 for stimulation of CTL precursors and antigen-specific cytolysis by CD8+ T cells from two TCR-Tg mice expressing respectively the TCR (Tg) from a "CD8-dependent" and from a "CD8-independent" CTL clone, which were both reactive against the H-2Kb alloantigen and originated from H-2k mice. The results indicate that the property of the Tg+CD8+ cells from H-2k TCR-Tg mice corresponds to that of the CTL clone of origin, demonstrating that it is linked to the nature of the TCR. Consistent with this property, Tg+CD4+ cells could also differentiate into H-2Kb-specific CTL when originating from the "CD8-independent", but not from the "CD8-dependent" Tg-TCR. The influence of the property of "CD8 dependence" on negative selection occurring in TCR-Tg H-2k/b mice was apparent at two levels: (i) in the thymus, the extent of deletion was much more pronounced for the "CD8-independent" TCR-Tg mice; (ii) in the periphery, Tg+(hi) cells with low to negative CD8 expression were present for the "CD8-dependent" Tg-TCR, whereas only Tg+CD4-CD8- cells with low surface Tg-TCR and CD3 expression were found for the "CD8-independent" Tg-TCR, indicating that Tg+CD4-CD8- cells are susceptible to tolerance induction involving TCR/CD3 surface down-modulation. Furthermore, different in vitro conditions led to H-2Kb-induced stimulation of Tg+CD4-CD8- cells to differentiate into CTL detected in an anti-TCR clonotypic monoclonal antibody redirected cytolysis assay. Culture in interleukin-2 of H-2k/b Tg+CD4-CD8- cells was sufficient to induced CTL activity in the "CD8-independent" model, whereas stimulation with cells which overexpressed H-2Kb was required in addition to interleukin-2 to induce CTL differentiation in the "CD8-dependent" model. These data suggest that peripheral Tg+CD4-CD8- cells present in a situation of in vivo tolerance to H-2Kb can still be triggered by H-2Kb with a sensitivity correlated with the degree of CD8 dependence.

Abstract
We recently identified Vav as a Ras-activating guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) stimulated by a T-cell antigen receptor-coupled protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). Here, we describe a novel, protein kinase-independent alternative pathway of Vav activation. Phorbol ester, 1,2-diacylglycerol, or ceramide treatment of intact T cells, Vav immunoprecipitates, or partially purified Vav generated by in vitro translation or COS-1 cell transfection stimulated the Ras exchange activity of Vav in the absence of detectable tyrosine phosphorylation. GEF activity of gel-purified Vav was similarly stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Stimulation was resistant to PTK and protein kinase C inhibitors but was blocked by calphostin, a PMA and diacylglycerol antagonist. In vitro-translated Vav lacking its cysteine-rich domain, or mutated at a single cysteine residue within this domain (C528A), was not stimulated by PMA but was fully activated by p56lck. This correlated with increased binding of radiolabeled phorbol ester to COS-1 cells expressing wild-type, but not C528A-mutated, Vav. Thus, Vav itself is a PMA-binding and -activated Ras GEF. Recombinant interleukin-1 alpha stimulated Vav via this pathway, suggesting that diglyceride-mediated Vav activation may couple PTK-independent receptors which stimulate production of lipid second messengers to Ras in hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
Ag receptor triggering in B cells stimulates the activity of receptor-associated tyrosine protein kinases (TPK), leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular substrates, one of which is the Vav proto-oncogene product. We have recently determined that Vav is a TPK-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras in T cells. Here, we show that B cell extracts or Vav immunoprecipitates contain a Ras GDP/GTP exchange activity that is stimulated upon surface Ig (slg) triggering. The receptor-mediated stimulation of Vav exchange activity was blocked by the TPK antagonist, herbimycin A. Furthermore, immunodepletion of Vav from the B cell extracts removed approximately 80% of the Ras GDP/GTP exchange activity. These findings indicate, first, that B cell-derived Vav possesses GDP/GTP exchange activity for Ras; second, that the exchange activity of Vav is accelerated by a slg-triggered, herbimycin A-sensitive TPK and, third, that Vav accounts for most of the receptor-stimulated Ras GDP/GTP exchange activity. Thus, Vav may serve as a critical component in slg-mediated signal transduction pathways by coupling receptor-associated TPK to the activation of Ras proteins.

Abstract
We have studied tolerance induction in transgenic CBA mice expressing H-2Kb genes under the influence of guinea-pig alpha-lactalbumin (KAL) or human beta-globin gene promoter (K beta). KAL radio-resistant cells, but not bone marrow derived cells, induce tolerance to H-2Kb in chimeric mice. In contrast, bone marrow derived and radio-resistant cells of K beta mice induce tolerance. Although appropriate, tissue-specific, expression of H-2Kb molecules occurs in KAL and K beta mice, H-2Kb is expressed at low levels in thymus of transgenic mice. In addition, dendritic cells and macrophages express H-2Kb molecules when K beta, but not when KAL bone marrow is cultured in vitro. The mode of tolerance induction was examined in double transgenic mice by mating KAL or K beta mice to mice expressing TCR transgenes (Tg-TCR) derived from a H-2Kb specific, CD8-independent cytotoxic T cell clone. In both cases, a large number of Tg-TCR+ CD8+CD4+ thymocytes develop but mature CD8+CD4- thymocytes fail to appear suggesting that thymocytes are eliminated late in development. Some CD8-CD4- and CD8-CD4+ Tg-TCR+ T cells develop in double transgenic mice and respond to activation through their TCR-CD3 complex in vitro, although no responses to stimulation with H-2Kb expressing cells were detected. Thus, tolerance induction in KAL and K beta mice proceeds via a deletional mechanism that is inefficient due either to low numbers of H-2Kb expressing thymic cells or to the low levels of H-2Kb expressed by thymic cells, or to a combination of these factors.

Abstract
We recently identified Vav, the product of the vav proto-oncogene, as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Ras. Vav is enzymatically activated by lymphocyte antigen receptor-coupled protein tyrosine kinases or independently by diglycerides. To further evaluate the physiological role of Vav, we assessed its GDP-GTP exchange activity against several Ras-related proteins in vitro and determined whether Vav activation in transfected NIH 3T3 fibroblasts correlates with the activity status of Ras and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. In vitro translated purified Vav activated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or phosphorylation with recombinant p56lck displayed GEF activity against Ras but not against recombinant RacI, RacII, Ral, or RhoA proteins. Expression of vav or proto-vav in stably transfected NIH 3T3 cells led to a approximately 10-fold increase in basal or PMA-stimulated Ras exchange activity, respectively, in total-cell lysates and Vav immunoprecipitates. Elevated GEF activity was paralleled in each case by a significant increase in the proportion of active, GTP-bound Ras. PMA had a minimal effect on the low Ras. GTP level in untransfected control fibroblasts but increased it from 20 to 37% in proto-vav-transfected cells. vav-transfected cells displayed a constitutively elevated Ras. GTP level (35%), which was not increased further by PMA treatment. MAP kinases, known downstream intermediates in Ras-dependent signaling pathways, similarly exhibited increased basal or PMA-stimulated activity in Vav-expressing cells by comparison with normal NIH 3T3 cells. These results demonstrate a physiologic interaction between Vav and its target, Ras, leading to MAP kinase activation.

Abstract
Signal transduction mechanisms leading to effector functions in mouse cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones were studied following the introduction of exogenous molecules by electroporation. Conditions were defined in which the application of an electric pulse permeabilized the CTL without affecting functions such as antigen-dependent or antibody-mediated cytotoxicity. When a non-permeant Ca2+ chelator such as EGTA was added in the external medium during the electric pulse, it inhibited subsequent target cell cytolysis carried out in the presence of external Ca2+, thereby indicating the efficiency of EGTA uptake. Results obtained in this system, using a 13 amino-acid protein kinase C (PKC) pseudo-substrate peptide, indicated that it selectively inhibited cytolysis, whereas a substrate peptide with one amino-acid substitution was not inhibitory. This suggests that the technique could be used to study the signal transduction mechanisms of CTL clones which lead to the expression of effector functions.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated that some V beta 6+, CD4+, Mls-1a-specific T cell clones had cytolytic activity when stimulated with anti-T cell receptor(TcR)/CD3 monoclonal antibodies (mAb), but not with targets expressing Mls-1a, although they produced lymphokines (interleukin 2 and interferon-gamma) in response to both types of stimuli. To examine the possibility that lack of cytolysis resulted from expression of the Mls-1a antigen on merely a fraction of splenic B blasts, we (a) used the B cell lymphoma LBB.3.4.16 and (b) measured esterase secretion which is generally concurrent with cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity. The B cell lymphoma maximally stimulated the T cell clone for interferon-gamma production when responding and stimulating cells were incubated at a 1:1 ratio, but it was never killed by the Mls-1a-specific T cell clone unless TcR/CD3-specific mAb were added. Furthermore, a fivefold excess of the Mls-1a B cell lymphoma did not induce any secretion of esterase, which was observed only in the presence of the TcR/CD3-specific mAb. Comparison of the reactivity of two Mls-1a-specific T cell hybridomas expressing the same TcR at similar surface density, revealed both quantitative and qualitative differences between CD3-specific mAb and Mls stimulation of the hybridomas. A small quantitative difference in the sensitivity of hybridoma FJ22.5 to stimulation with V beta 6 or CD3-specific mAb resulted in a marked decrease in efficiency of stimulation by Mls-1a for interleukin 2 production and to inability to detect growth inhibition by Mls-expressing cells. A qualitative difference was observed when analyses of inositol phosphate production were performed under optimal conditions of stimulation of the highly responsive T cell hybridoma (FJ8.1): only stimulation with CD3-specific mAb, but not Mls-expressing cells, could induce detectable inositol phosphate production. Lack of cytolysis of Mls-1a class II-expressing B cells may have evolutionary significance in view of the recent mapping of Mls to mouse mammary tumor virus genes.

Abstract
Abstract
Bifunctional antibodies specific for a determinant within the T cell receptor (TcR) complex of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and a determinant expressed on the surface of the target cell will effectively mediate cytolysis. In such a lytic system anti-Lyt-2 antibody can block cytolysis. We have observed that the amount of inhibition varies considerably from clone to clone and surprisingly correlates well with inhibition of conjugate formation as mediated by bifunctional antibody. This implies that inhibition of antibody-mediated killing occurs as the result of reduction of the avidity of the effector cell for its target, the same mechanism responsible for inhibition of receptor-mediated lysis by anti-Lyt-2. In light of the similarity between the mechanism of inhibition by anti-Lyt-2 of receptor-mediated and antibody-mediated cytolysis, we compared the ability of anti-Lyt-2 to inhibit cytolysis in these two different assay systems by using a number of different CTL clones. Whereas the majority of secondary CTL clones (presumed to have high affinity TcR) are inhibited equally in both assay systems, most primary CTL (presumed to have low affinity TcR) are more susceptible to inhibition by anti-Lyt-2 in their receptor-specific than their antibody-directed cytolysis. These results, taken together with an apparent correlation between the amount of Lyt-2 expressed on the cell surface and susceptibility to inhibition, suggest anti-Lyt-2 may block CTL function by sterically inhibiting mobility of the TcR complex.
