Abstract
IL12 is a proinflammatory cytokine, that has shown promising antitumor activity in humans by promoting the recruitment and activation of immune cells in tumors. However, the systemic administration of IL12 has been accompanied by considerable toxicity, prompting interest in researching alternatives to drive preferential IL12 bioactivity in the tumor. Here, we have generated XTX301, a tumor-activated IL12 linked to the human Fc protein via a protease cleavable linker that is pharmacologically inactivated by an IL12 receptor subunit beta 2 masking domain. In vitro characterization demonstrates multiple matrix metalloproteases, as well as human primary tumors cultured as cell suspensions, can effectively activate XTX301. Intravenous administration of a mouse surrogate mXTX301 demonstrated significant tumor growth inhibition (TGI) in inflamed and non-inflamed mouse models without causing systemic toxicities. The superiority of mXTX301 in mediating TGI compared with non-activatable control molecules and the greater percentage of active mXTX301 in tumors versus other organs further confirms activation by the tumor microenvironment-associated proteases in vivo. Pharmacodynamic characterization shows tumor selective increases in inflammation and upregulation of immune-related genes involved in IFNγ cell signaling, antigen processing, presentation, and adaptive immune response. XTX301 was tolerated following four repeat doses up to 2.0 mg/kg in a nonhuman primate study; XTX301 exposures were substantially higher than those at the minimally efficacious dose in mice. Thus, XTX301 has the potential to achieve potent antitumor activity while widening the therapeutic index of IL12 treatment and is currently being evaluated in a phase I clinical trial.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health issue primarily caused by cigarette smoke (CS) and characterized by breathlessness and repeated airway inflammation. NLRP6 is a cytosolic innate receptor controlling intestinal inflammation and orchestrating the colonic host-microbial interface. However, its roles in the lungs remain largely unexplored. Using CS exposure models, our data show that airway inflammation is strongly impaired in Nlrp6-deficient mice with drastically fewer recruited neutrophils, a key cell subset in inflammation and COPD. We found that NLRP6 expression in lung epithelial cells is important to control airway and lung tissue inflammation in an inflammasome-dependent manner. Since gut-derived metabolites regulate NLRP6 inflammasome activation in intestinal epithelial cells, we investigated the link between NLRP6, CS-driven lung inflammation, and gut microbiota composition. We report that acute CS exposure alters gut microbiota in both wild-type (WT) and Nlrp6-deficient mice and that antibiotic treatment decreases CS-induced lung inflammation. In addition, gut microbiota transfer from dysbiotic Nlrp6-deficient mice to WT mice decreased airway lung inflammation in WT mice, highlighting an NLRP6-dependent gut-to-lung axis controlling pulmonary inflammation.

Abstract
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a proinflammatory cytokine, which bridges innate and adaptive immunity via induction of T helper 1 differentiation and promotes cytolytic activity of natural killer and T cells. IL-12 has demonstrated potent antitumor activity in syngeneic mouse models and promising anti-tumor efficacy in humans. However, development of IL-12-based treatments has been limited by severe systemic toxicities in the clinical setting. To overcome toxicity and potentially improve the therapeutic index of IL-12 in a clinical setting, XTX301 was engineered as a half-life extended and masked IL-12. The masking domain of XTX301 is designed to pharmacologically inactivate IL-12 in circulation and non-tumor tissue, while enabling generation of an active IL-12 moiety upon cleavage of a linker sequence by matrix metalloproteinases that are enriched in the tumor microenvironment. To confirm the ability of human tumor associated proteases to activate XTX301, cleavage was assessed in primary human tumor samples and in plasma from cancer patients. We observed cleavage of XTX301 in the majority of human tumors samples tested, but no activation was observed in plasma from cancer patients. Human IL-12 does not bind and signal through the mouse IL-12 receptors, hence three murine surrogates were created for in vivo studies: mXTX301, a non-cleavable control, and an unmasked control molecule. Tumor growth inhibition was observed after a single dose of mXTX301 as low as 0.039 mg/kg. The non-cleavable form of mXTX301 was less potent than mXTX301, demonstrating that the anti-tumor activity of mXTX301 is dependent on protease activation. The unmasked control was not well tolerated, with a > 20% body weight loss observed by Day 6, resulting in 75% of animals being euthanized by Day 11. Unlike the unmasked control, mXTX301 was well-tolerated at all tested doses, as evidenced by no loss in animals’ body weights, and demonstrated minimal pharmacodynamic activity in non-tumor tissues. In tumors, mXTX301 stimulated the infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and induced the expression of several immune-related genes including those associated with IFN-γ cell signaling, antigen processing and presentation, and defense response as well as enrichment of gene signatures for T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages and dendritic cells as determined by RNA sequencing. In non-human primates, the highest non-severely toxic dose of XTX301 was 2mg/kg dosed weekly for a total of 4 doses. In summary, a half-life extended tumor-activated IL-12 molecule, mXTX301, demonstrated anti-tumor activity in preclinical mouse models with improved tolerability compared to a systemically active IL-12 molecule suggesting that XTX301 has potential for exerting potent anti-tumor activity while widening the therapeutic index of IL-12 treatment.

Abstract
BackgroundInterleukin-12 (IL-12) is a proinflammatory cytokine which bridges innate and adaptive immunity via induction of T helper 1 differentiation and promoting cytolytic activity of natural killer and T cells. IL-12 has demonstrated potent antitumor activity in syngeneic mouse models and promising anti-tumor efficacy in humans. However, development of IL-12 has been limited by severe systemic toxicities. To overcome toxicity and improve the therapeutic index of IL-12, we employed protein engineering to generate XTX301, a highly potent, half-life extended and masked IL-12. The masking domain of XTX301 is designed to pharmacologically inactivate IL-12 systemically and render an active IL-12 moiety upon cleavage by proteases that are enriched in the tumor microenvironment.MethodsWe conducted experiments to assess the binding, bioactivity, safety, and anti-tumor efficacy of XTX301. Binding interactions were measured via SPR, bioactivity was measured using STAT-4 phosphorylation in a reporter cell line, and IFN-g production was assessed in human PBMCs via ELISA. Anti-tumor efficacy and pharmacodynamics were assessed in MC38 and B16F10 syngeneic tumor mouse models using a XTX301 murine surrogate, mXTX301. Safety and pharmacokinetics of XTX301 were evaluated in non-human primates (NHP).ResultsXTX301 showed no detectable binding to the high affinity IL12RB2 demonstrating that the masking domain indeed prevents interaction with the receptor. Upon cleavage of the masking domain by relevant proteases, binding was observed and was comparable to XTX300 unmasked control. Likewise, restoration of activity upon proteolytic cleavage was observed in an IL-12-dependent reporter gene assay and in primary human PBMCs. Human IL-12 does not cross react with mouse IL-12 receptors; hence a murine surrogate (mXTX301) was created for in vivo anti-tumor efficacy evaluation. A single dose of mXTX301 demonstrated up to 90% tumor growth inhibition in an inflamed MC38 and non-inflamed B16F10 syngeneic mouse models. mXTX301 induced a ~3 fold increase in IFN-g in tumors compared to vehicle control and ~150 fold less peripheral IFN-g compared to mXTX300. XTX301 exhibits minimal elevation in liver enzymes and a 50-fold improvement in tolerability compared to XTX300, in a repeat dose NHP safety study.ConclusionsOur data demonstrates that both XTX301 and mXTX301 are inactive when in masked form and become activated upon proteolytic cleavage to exert bioactivity comparable to recombinant IL-12. For efficacy, mXTX301 demonstrated tumor selective activity in syngeneic mouse models. XTX301 was well tolerated in repeat dose NHP safety study. In conclusion, XTX301 has potential for exerting potent anti-tumor activity with a favorable tolerability profile.

Abstract
2563 Background: High-dose recombinant human interleukin-2 (aldesleukin) elicits anti-tumor immunity and is approved for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and melanoma based on durable complete remissions. However, use of aldesleukin is limited due to treatment-related life-threatening toxicities. Recent second-generation efforts to alleviate toxicities have largely focused on eliminating binding to IL-2Rα, often with half-life extension. We have determined that mice and non-human primates (NHPs) treated with a second generation IL-2 surrogate still experience characteristic dose-limiting toxicities, including vascular leak syndrome. To overcome these toxicities and improve the therapeutic index (TI) of IL-2 as an anti-tumor immunotherapy, we employed protein engineering to generate XTX202, a highly potent third generation masked IL-2. XTX202 is unmasked in the tumor microenvironment by proteolytic activation resulting in full restoration of binding to IL-2Rβ without binding to IL-2Rα. The current study characterizes the therapeutic index of XTX202 versus aldesleukin and a second generation IL-2 surrogate. Methods: XTX202 bioactivity was measured using STAT-5 phosphorylation in human PBMCs and reporter cell lines. Anti-tumor efficacy and peripheral immune activation were evaluated in mice bearing syngeneic tumor models. Safety was evaluated in rodents and Cynomolgus monkeys. XTX200, an unmasked half-life extended IL-2 that does not bind to IL-2Rα, was used as a surrogate second generation IL-2. Results: Masked XTX202 showed limited IL-2R-dependent STAT-5 signaling in vitro. Proteolytic activation of XTX202 resulted in CD8+ T and NK cell activation and over 1000-fold reduction in Treg activation as compared to WT IL-2. XTX202 achieved potent tumor growth inhibition in syngeneic mouse models as a single agent with no evidence of toxicity or peripheral immune activation, thus demonstrating tumor selective activity. XTX202 efficacy in mice at 2 mg/kg dose was equivalent to that achieved with the MTD dose of 0.5 mg/kg of a second generation IL-2 surrogate. XTX202 was well tolerated in NHPs in a 4-week repeat dose study at doses up to 30 mg/kg QW whereas a second generation IL-2 surrogate was not tolerated beyond 0.7 mg/kg QW. Based on these data, XTX202 has a 10 fold improvement in TI vs second generation IL-2. Based on comparative efficacy studies with aldesleukin and literature NHP tolerability data, XTX202 is projected to have a ≥150 fold greater TI than aldesleukin. Conclusions: XTX202, a third generation, tumor-selective IL-2, inhibits tumor growth and is well tolerated in repeat dose studies in NHPs at high doses. GLP toxicity studies with XTX202 are underway and first-in-human studies are expected to initiate this year. XTX202 has the potential to be a best-in-class IL-2 immunotherapy by expanding the curative anti-tumor activity of IL-2 while minimizing dose-limiting toxicities.

Abstract
AIM To present the results of the personalized care of Ivorian women suffering from breast cancer since the advent of immunohistochemistry in Côte d'Ivoire. METHODS We carried out a single-center retrospective study at the Yopougon university hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. All women's breast cancer with complementary immunohistochemistry and treated at the Yopougon hospital center were selected. Standard descriptive statistical tests were used to describe patient and tumor characteristics, and univariate and multivariate analyzes were performed with a statistical significance set at a P-value of 0.05 using SPSS version 20.0. RESULTS The mean age of women is 48.27 years, SD (11.92). 50.88 % of the tumors were hormone-dependent. The triple negative subgroup was the most represented (43.28 %) followed by luminal A (35.42 %). Conservative treatment represented 18.51 % of cases. In the univariate analysis, the risk of developing a hormone-dependent cancer is statistically significant respectively in women with an education level removed OR=1.98 (P˂0.015) and with a wealthy salary OR=1.85 (P˂0.009). On the other hand, the high level of education (OR=0.44; P˂0.005), and the well-off salary condition (OR=0.59; P˂0.024) would be protective factors for the development of triple negative breast cancer. All these factors are not significant in multivariate analysis, whether for hormone-dependent or triple negative tumors. CONCLUSION The personalized care of breast cancer in our African context remains difficult and must take into account several medical and extra-medical parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There remains a significant risk of recurrence of intraepithelial neoplasia regardless of the type of conservative treatment. The aim's work is to assess this rate. METHODS All women's consenting who had received conservative treatment at the sites identified since for more than 12 months were included in this multicenter cross-sectional study. The outcome measure was a recurrence of precancerous lesions of the cervix during visual inspection with acetic acid performed by a single practitioner to limit interobserver variability. Data collection and analysis were done on the Stata 13 software. We performed an univariate then multivariate analysis with logistic regression. RESULTS Two hundred and seventy-nine participated in this study with an average age of 37.44 (σ=7.31 years). A total of 52.33% were HIV positive. Moreover, 63.44% were treated by cryotherapy versus 36.66% by loop electrosurgical excision procedure. The overall prevalence of recurrences was 8.96%. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression concluded that the risk of recurrence was 5.72 times (OR=1.69-19.29; P=0.005) higher with cryotherapy and 2.85 times higher (OR=1.04-7.82; P=0.042) in women with HIV. CONCLUSION The risk of recurrence is proportionally high with cryotherapy and HIV status. This suggests that an adaptation of the strict monitoring protocols to our African context due to the lack of cytocolposcopic logistical resources.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which regulatory T (Treg) cells differentially control allergic and autoimmune responses remain unclear. We show that Treg cells in food allergy (FA) had decreased expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) because of interleukin-4 (IL-4)- and signal transducer and activator of transciription-6 (STAT6)-dependent inhibition of Tgfb1 transcription. These changes were modeled by Treg cell-specific Tgfb1 monoallelic inactivation, which induced allergic dysregulation by impairing microbiota-dependent retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma t (ROR-γt)+ Treg cell differentiation. This dysregulation was rescued by treatment with Clostridiales species, which upregulated Tgfb1 expression in Treg cells. Biallelic deficiency precipitated fatal autoimmunity with intense autoantibody production and dysregulated T follicular helper and B cell responses. These results identify a privileged role of Treg cell-derived TGF-β1 in regulating allergy and autoimmunity at distinct checkpoints in a Tgfb1 gene dose- and microbiota-dependent manner.

Abstract
Cigarette smoke (CS) is the major cause of chronic lung injuries, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In patients with severe COPD, tertiary lymphoid follicles containing B lymphocytes and B cell-activating factor (BAFF) overexpression are associated with disease severity. In addition, BAFF promotes adaptive immunity in smokers and mice chronically exposed to CS. However, the role of BAFF in the early phase of innate immunity has never been investigated. We acutely exposed C57BL/6J mice to CS and show early BAFF expression in the bronchoalveolar space and lung tissue that correlates to airway neutrophil and macrophage influx. Immunostaining analysis revealed that neutrophils are the major source of BAFF. We confirmed in vitro that neutrophils secrete BAFF in response to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) stimulation. Antibody-mediated neutrophil depletion significantly dampens lung inflammation to CS exposure but only partially decreases BAFF expression in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar space suggesting additional sources of BAFF. Importantly, BAFF deficient mice displayed decreased airway neutrophil recruiting chemokines and neutrophil influx while the addition of exogenous BAFF significantly enhanced this CS-induced neutrophilic inflammation. This demonstrates that BAFF is a key proinflammatory cytokine and that innate immune cells in particular neutrophils, are an unconsidered source of BAFF in early stages of CS-induced innate immunity.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive, devastating, and yet untreatable fibrotic disease of unknown origin. Interleukin-33 (IL-33), an IL-1 family member acts as an alarmin with pro-inflammatory properties when released after stress or cell death. Here, we investigated the role of IL-33 in the bleomycin (BLM)-induced inflammation and fibrosis model using mice IL-33 receptor [chain suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2)] mice compared with C57BL/6 wild-type mice. Unexpectedly, 24 h post-BLM treatment ST2-deficient mice displayed augmented inflammatory cell recruitment, in particular by neutrophils, together with enhanced levels of chemokines and remodeling factors in the bronchoalveolar space and/or the lungs. At 11 days, lung remodeling and fibrosis were decreased with reduced M2 macrophages in the lung associated with M2-like cytokine profile in ST2-deficient mice, while lung cellular inflammation was decreased but with fluid retention (edema) increased. In vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis demonstrates a rapid development of edema detectable at day 7, which was increased in the absence of ST2. Our results demonstrate that acute neutrophilic pulmonary inflammation leads to the development of an IL-33/ST2-dependent lung fibrosis associated with the production of M2-like polarization. In addition, non-invasive MRI revealed enhanced inflammation with lung edema during the development of pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in absence of ST2.

Abstract
The NLR pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a major component of the innate immune system, but its mechanism of activation by a wide range of molecules remains largely unknown. Widely used nano-sized inorganic metal oxides such as silica dioxide (nano-SiO2) and titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages similarly to silica or asbestos micro-sized particles. By investigating towards the molecular mechanisms of inflammasome activation in response to nanoparticles, we show here that active adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release and subsequent ATP, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine receptor signalling are required for inflammasome activation. Nano-SiO2 or nano-TiO2 caused a significant increase in P2Y1, P2Y2, A2A and/or A2B receptor expression, whereas the P2X7 receptor was downregulated. Interestingly, IL-1β secretion in response to nanoparticles is increased by enhanced ATP and ADP hydrolysis, whereas it is decreased by adenosine degradation or selective A2A or A2B receptor inhibition. Downstream of these receptors, our results show that nanoparticles activate the NLRP3 inflammasome via activation of PLC-InsP3 and/or inhibition of adenylate cyclase (ADCY)-cAMP pathways. Finally, a high dose of adenosine triggers inflammasome activation and IL-1β secretion through adenosine cellular uptake by nucleotide transporters and by its subsequent transformation in ATP by adenosine kinase. In summary, we show for the first time that extracellular adenosine activates the NLRP3 inflammasome by two ways: by interacting with adenosine receptors at nanomolar/micromolar concentrations and through cellular uptake by equilibrative nucleoside transporters at millimolar concentrations. These findings provide new molecular insights on the mechanisms of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and new therapeutic strategies to control inflammation.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive devastating, yet untreatable fibrotic disease of unknown origin. We investigated the contribution of the B-cell activating factor (BAFF), a TNF family member recently implicated in the regulation of pathogenic IL-17-producing cells in autoimmune diseases. The contribution of BAFF was assessed in a murine model of lung fibrosis induced by airway administered bleomycin. We show that murine BAFF levels were strongly increased in the bronchoalveolar space and lungs after bleomycin exposure. We identified Gr1(+) neutrophils as an important source of BAFF upon BLM-induced lung inflammation and fibrosis. Genetic ablation of BAFF or BAFF neutralization by a soluble receptor significantly attenuated pulmonary fibrosis and IL-1β levels. We further demonstrate that bleomycin-induced BAFF expression and lung fibrosis were IL-1β and IL-17A dependent. BAFF was required for rIL-17A-induced lung fibrosis and augmented IL-17A production by CD3(+) T cells from murine fibrotic lungs ex vivo. Finally we report elevated levels of BAFF in bronchoalveolar lavages from IPF patients. Our data therefore support a role for BAFF in the establishment of pulmonary fibrosis and a crosstalk between IL-1β, BAFF and IL-17A.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the value of hand disinfection by rubbing with alcohol in terms of prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) and cost in a tropical setting. MATERIAL AND METHOD This prospective cohort study carried out in the Gynecology Obstetrics Department of the Yopougon University Teaching Hospital from May to September 2005 was designed to compare two different methods of hand disinfection, i.e., traditional 3-step hand scrubbing using an antiseptic preparation versus handwashing without an antiseptic preparation followed by two applications of an aqueous alcohol solution. RESULTS The study population included 318 patients who underwent surgery during the study period. The SSI rate was 13.2% in patients operated on after traditional hand scrubbing and 11.5% after handwashing followed by rubbing with alcohol (not significantly different). Hand disinfection by rubbing with alcohol did not increase the risk of SSI and was considered as easier than traditional hand scrubbing by 90% of users. Skin tolerance was deemed good by 52% of users. Most users (69%) wished both hand disinfection methods to be available. Hand disinfection by rubbing with alcohol was much more cost-effective than traditional hand scrubbing both with regard to initial investment and to consumable costs (50% lower). CONCLUSION This study shows that hand disinfection by rubbing with an alcoholic solution is not only as effective as traditional hand scrubbing for prevention of SSI but also more cost-effective. These findings indicate that rubbing with alcohol is a suitable alternative to traditional scrubbing for hand disinfection prior to surgery in our tropical setting.

Abstract
Haemorrhage of placenta birth is one of the main reasons of maternal mortality in developing countries. The control of this third stage of delivery remains one of the means to stem the scourge. This survey shows that controlled placenta birth is a safe mean to reach this objective: 200 women who had normal vaginal deliveries at the Abobo North hospital were included in the survey. Among them, one hundred women had a controlled placenta birth whereas 100 had a normal one. The analysis of the results showed that: the haemorrhage rates during placenta birth slightly decrease in the group with controlled placenta birth and are clearly lower in the group of patients with risks factors of haemorrhage in 10% of the cases; the delay of placenta birth is twice shorter in the group having a controlled placenta birth than in the group with normal placenta birth; blood loss in the group with controlled placenta birth is three times less important than in the other group. This study speaks in favour of a systematic controlled placenta birth during the third stage of labour as it is already performed elsewhere.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this survey was to value the contribution of saline infusion sonography (SIS) to endometrial pathologies diagnosis in a context of work where hysterography is the reference exam rather than hysteroscopy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective comparative cohort survey led at Yopougon's teaching hospital, from July 1st to April 30th 2003. This study concerned 65 patients. The sensitivity, the specificity, and the Kappa test have been calculated from the morbid results. RESULTS The SIS has been successfully carried out among 63 patients (96,8%). The polyps (23,8%), and the mucous myomas (14%) dominate the endometrial pathologies. The analysis of the results indicated sensitivity and a global specificity respectively of 100% and 76,5%. The dissonant diagnoses have been decided in 82% of the cases in favour of SIS. Besides, SIS permits to save 31.67 Euros/patient. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION SIS could therefore constitute a tool of choice for the exploration of the uterine cavity in the developing countries.

Abstract
The authors report a care management of a patient presenting a severe alloimmunisation treated by spectrophotometry, a very efficient method but difficult of access in developing countries. Beyond the restrictive paraclinical exams which do not allow an efficient monitoring of this pathology, the lack of alloimmunisation prevention during illegal abortions and the lack of information about patients'medical files are highly responsible for the difficult management of Rhesus- negative patients. However the authors remind that only the scan at best combined with the Doppler, are effective exams helping to avoid the constraints of spectrophotometry. Although quite well-known this pathology induces very severe foetal consequences and may involve the obstetric prognosis of young women. The caesarian section will still remain for a long time the only means to prevent foetus from alloimmunisation complications in developing countries.

Abstract
A multicentric and prospective survey has been carried out in simple blind from August 1998 to May 2000 at Yopougon and Treichville Teaching Hospitals on 185 patients having undergone an emergency or sheduled surgical intervention for a non septic gynaecological affection. Ninety five patients were discharged early just after bowel motion, and ninety others left seven days after the surgical intervention. The authors compared the complications observed in the two modes of discharge and showed that there is no meaningful difference between their respective frequencies. In a more general way it has not been identified particular risk factors of post-operative complications.
