Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Is it possible to find viral Sars-Cov–2 RNA in FF of women undergoing treatment during Covid–19 pandemic that may compromise gamete and embryo safety?
Summary answer
No viral RNA was detected in tested FF of women undergoing IVF in compliance with recommendations. This was reassuring and supported good medical practice.
What is known already
Risks due to SARS-CoV–2 during IVF remain difficult to assess despite the screening recommended by French health authorities based on a symptom questionnaire of the couple (systematic testing by RT-PCR for the virus before egg retrieval (ER) is not mandatory). In this context, this is a real challenge for IVF laboratory to guarantee procedure, patients, gametes and embryos safety. Most studies have reported the absence of virus in sperm. No data are available for FF and only one study looked for the presence of the virus in oocytes of Covid-affected patients (Barragan M et al, 2020).
Study design, size, duration
Between June 17 and September 24, 2020, FF of consenting women were prospectively collected and symptom questionnaire recorded. During this period, women undergoing IVF in our center did not benefit from systematic PCR testing for the virus within 72 hours prior to ER through our health authorities’ recommendations. All collected FF were retrospectively tested to research viral RNA by RT-PCR and patients were recalled to answer an epidemiological follow-up questionnaire.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
For all couples, symptom questionnaires were prospectively recorded and verified at each step of IVF procedure. For all consenting women, a sample of 1 ml of FF was collected the day of ER and stored at –80 °C. After thawing, a Sars-Cov2 multiplex RT-PCR using CFX96 (Biorad*) was performed, after RNA extraction using Nimbus (Seegene*). A comprehensive epidemiological evaluation was made afterwards by phone interview and data were recorded and analyzed.
Main results and the role of chance
A total of 183 women was included out of the 214 treated during this period (85.5%). Retrospective epidemiological evaluation showed that 8 patients contracted Covid more than 2 months before the ER, 6 more than 2 months after and only one patient 1 month after ER (diagnosis based on pathognomonic signs as agueusia and anosmia or/and positive PCR ). We observed a prevalence of symptomatic Covid forms in our IVF population of 8.2% during a 6-month period surrounding their IVF cycle. Moreover, until the introduction of systematic testing by RT-PCR for the virus before ER since the end of September 2020, 3 patients have been cancelled out of the 403 planned for positive PCR despite a negative questionnaire, which represents a prevalence of asymptomatic forms on the day of the ER at 0.7%. All the 183 FF tested did not reveal any viral RNA detection, which was reassuring concerning our medical practice and patient compliance and transparency. The absence of detected viral RNA may be due to several reasons: 1) women were not infected the day of ER 2) women had an asymptomatic form of the disease with low viral load 3) FF is not a virus reservoir.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Not all patients were included (85.5%). Post-diagnosis stays uncertain because PCR tests at the beginning of the epidemic were not mandatory and hardly available.
Wider implications of the findings: The absence of viral RNA in FF of women only screened through a symptom questionnaire is reassuring concerning the safety of IVF during Covid pandemic.

Abstract
Introduction La survenue de formes sévères ou critiques de COVID-19, avec nécessité d’une hospitalisation en réanimation, est associée à la présence d’anticorps anti-Interféron de classe I dans environ 10 % des cas [1]. Ces anticorps identifiés dans le contexte de la COVID-19 bloquent les molécules d’interféron (IFN) et expliqueraient chez ces patients, la survenue d’une atteinte grave de COVID-19, avec une absence d’élimination précoce du virus SARS-CoV-2. Ainsi, il s’agirait d’une forme de déficit immunitaire, acquis, dirigé contre le virus SARS-CoV-2 mais aussi potentiellement contre d’autres virus. Les caractéristiques cliniques, biologiques et morphologiques des patients présentant ces anticorps n’ont pas été décrites précisément, l’évolution des patients n’est pas connue. Patients et méthodes Une recherche d’anticorps anti-Interféron a été réalisée chez des patients ayant été pris en charge en réanimation à l’hôpital Bégin, à l’hôpital Avicenne et à l’hôpital Foch pour une COVID-19. La présence d’anticorps anti-IFNalpha2 et anti-IFNomega étaient recherchée par test ELISA puis confirmée par un test fonctionnel d’inhibition de la phosphorylation de STAT1. Les caractéristiques cliniques des patients ont été relevées à partir des dossiers médicaux. Un suivi médical a été organisé afin de suivre leur évolution sur le plan clinique, biologique et morphologique. Résultats Onze patients ont été identifiés. Il s’agissait de 11 hommes. L’âge médian au diagnostic était de 60 ans (min 36 - max 80). Parmi les autres facteurs de risques de COVID-19 grave classiquement identifiés, on retrouvait chez eux, du diabète pour 1 patient, de l’hypertension artérielle pour 6 patients et de l’obésité (IMC > 30 kg/m2) pour 5 patients. L’IMC médian était de 29,8 kg/m2 (min 24 - max 32,8). Il n’était pas noté d’antécédent remarquable, notamment pas d’argument pour un déficit immunitaire, pas d’endocrinopathie auto-immune. On retrouvait 1 BPCO, 2 asthmes, 1 coronaropathie et 1 valve aortique mécanique. Au diagnostic de COVID-19, les signes cliniques initiaux habituels de l’infection étaient retrouvés : asthénie (n = 11), fièvre (n= 10), toux (n = 5). Deux patients présentaient des diarrhées et 2 de l’insuffisance rénale aiguë, modérée. Chez 2 patients, on notait une embolie pulmonaire sur le scanner initial. L’évolution était marquée par une aggravation justifiant une admission en réanimation après une médiane de 7 jours (min 3 - max 12), pour une forme sévère chez 2 patients avec au maximum une oxygénothérapie au masque à haute concentration jusqu’à 15L/min pour 1 patient et 4L/min pour 1 autre. Une forme critique survenait chez 9 patients, avec recours à une intubation oro-trachéale pour ventilation mécanique pour 7 cas, une oxygénothérapie nasale à haut débit (OPTIFLOW) était suffisante dans 2 cas. Des pneumopathies bactériennes documentées nécessitaient une antibiothérapie spécifique dans 6 cas. Dans 10 cas, des traitements à visée spécifique du COVID-19 étaient entrepris : corticothérapie (n = 4), hydroxychloroquine (n = 4), lopinavir/ritonavir (n = 3) et tocilizumab (n = 2). En raison du développement d’un SDRA sévère, des séances d’optimisation de l’oxygénothérapie par décubitus ventral étaient entreprises chez 5 patients, avec nécessité d’un recours à une ECMO véno-veineuse pour le jeune patient de 36 ans. Afin d’éliminer les Ac antiIFN, ce dernier a également bénéficié avec succès de 3 séances d’échanges plasmatiques. Au total, 9 patients ont survécu, la durée médiane d’hospitalisaiton en réanimation était de 16 jours (min 2 - max 31). Les 2 décès sont intervenus après limitation thérapeutique pour SDRA réfractaire. Avec un suivi médian de 4,2 mois (min 1 - max 11,2), on note une bonne évolution chez l’ensemble des patients survivants, aucune réinfection n’a été observée et une régression quasi complète des lésions pulmonaires scanographiques (n = 4/5) était retrouvée à 3 mois. Lors du dernier bilan réalisé, il n’était pas constaté d’anomalie de la NFS (n = 7/8), ni syndrome inflammatoire (n = 6/7) et le taux d’immunoglobulines était normal (4/4). Conclusion Cette série de cas donne une première description des patients ayant présenté une forme critique de COVID-19 avec Ac anti-IFN de classe I. En dehors de la faible prévalence de comorbidités, il ne semble pas y avoir de phénotype clinique particulier chez cette population en dehors de la prédominance masculine.

Abstract
The ID NOW COVID-19 assay is a promising tool for the rapid identification of COVID-19 patients. However, its performances were questioned. We evaluate the ID NOW COVID-19 in comparison to a reference RT-PCR using a collection of 48 fresh nasopharyngeal swabs sampled on universal transport media (UTM). Only 2 false negatives of the ID NOW COVID-19 were identified. They display PCR cycle threshold values of 37.5 and 39.2. The positive percent agreement and the negative percent agreement were 94.9% and 100%, respectively. The Kappa value was 0.88. The ID NOW COVID-19 combines high-speed and accurate processing. Using UTM, the ID NOW COVID-19 could be repeated in the case of invalid result. Further analyses, such as screening of genetic variants or genome sequencing, could also be performed with the same sample. As for all tests, the results should be interpreted according to clinical and epidemiological context.

Abstract
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome is the main limitation for long-term survival after lung transplantation. Some specific B cell populations are associated with long-term graft acceptance. We aimed to monitor the B cell profile during early development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after lung transplantation. The B cell longitudinal profile was analyzed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome and patients who remained stable over 3 years of follow-up. CD24hi CD38hi transitional B cells were increased in stable patients only, and reached a peak 24 months after transplantation, whereas they remained unchanged in patients who developed a bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. These CD24hi CD38hi transitional B cells specifically secrete IL-10 and express CD9. Thus, patients with a total CD9+ B cell frequency below 6.6% displayed significantly higher incidence of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (AUC = 0.836, PPV = 0.75, NPV = 1). These data are the first to associate IL-10-secreting CD24hi CD38hi transitional B cells expressing CD9 with better allograft outcome in lung transplant recipients. CD9-expressing B cells appear as a contributor to a favorable environment essential for the maintenance of long-term stable graft function and as a new predictive biomarker of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome-free survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Urinary catheterization and acute urinary retention increase the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI). Our study aimed to investigate the incidence of UTI following acute stroke at our stroke center (SC) and to assess urinary catheter-care practices among French SCs. METHODS Stroke patients hospitalized within 24h of stroke onset were prospectively enrolled between May and September 2013. Neurological deficit level was assessed on admission using the US National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Patients were followed-up until discharge. Indwelling urinary catheterization (IUC) was the only technique authorized during the study. An electronic survey was also conducted among French SCs to assess their practices regarding urinary catheterization in acute stroke patients. RESULTS A total of 212 patients were included, with 45 (21.2%) receiving indwelling urinary catheters. The overall estimated incidence of UTI was 14.2%, and 18% among patients receiving IUC. On univariate analysis, IUC was significantly associated with older age, longer hospital stays and higher NIHSS scores. Of the 30 SCs that responded to our survey, 19 (63.3%) declared using IUC when urinary catheterization was needed. The main argument given to justify its use was that it was departmental policy to adopt this technique. Also, 27 participants (90%) stated that conducting a study to assess the impact of urinary catheterization techniques on UTI rates in acute stroke patients would be relevant. DISCUSSION Our results are in accord with previously reported data and confirm the high burden of UTI among acute stroke subjects. However, no association was found between IUC and UTI on univariate analysis due to a lack of statistical power. Also, our survey showed high heterogeneity in catheter-use practices among French SCs, but offered no data to help determine the best urinary catheterization technique. CONCLUSION Urinary catheterization is common after acute stroke and a well-known risk factor of UTI. However, as high heterogeneity in catheter-use practices is found among French SCs, randomized studies comparing the efficacy of urinary catheterization techniques in terms of UTI prevention in acute stroke patients are now warranted.

Abstract
SummaryProtein Z (PZ) is a vitamin K-dependent factor identified in human plasma in 1984 but it has no enzymatic activity. It is a cofactor of a serpin, the protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor (ZPI), and the complex PZ/ZPI inhibits activated factor X on phospholipid surfaces. In mice, the disruption of PZ or ZPI gene is asymptomatic, but enhances the thrombotic phenotype and mortality of other thrombotic risk factors. Most of the clinical studies focused on PZ. Despite conflicting results, a recent meta-analysis indicated that PZ deficiency could be a risk for venous and arterial thrombosis and early fetal loss. However, these conclusions are drawn from case-control studies of small size, constituting an important limitation. Recently, it was shown that PZ and/or ZPI are synthesised by normal kidney and different cancer cells, suggesting that the complex PZ/ZPI could play a role in inhibiting the tissue deposition of fibrin. The physiopathological consequences of these observations remain to be established. At this time, the measurement of plasma PZ and ZPI or analysis of their gene polymorphisms should not be performed routinely for the exploration of thrombophilia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Converging evidence highlights that lipid metabolism plays a key role in ALS pathophysiology. Dyslipidemia has been described in ALS patients and may be protective but peripheral lipoprotein subclasses have never been studied. MATERIAL AND METHODS We collected sera from 30 ALS patients and 30 gender and age-matched controls. We analyzed 11 distinct lipoprotein subclasses by linear polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Lipoprint, Quantimetrix Corporation, USA). We also measured lipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein B, and apolipoprotein E levels. RESULTS ALS patients had significant higher total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol levels than controls (p<0.0001, p=0.0007, and p=0.0065, respectively). The LDL-1 subfraction concentration was higher (1.03±0.41 vs. 0.71±0.28mmol/L; p=0.0006) and the IDL-B subfraction lower (6.5±2% vs. 8.0±2%; p=0.001) in ALS patients than controls. DISCUSSION Our preliminary work confirmed the association between ALS and dyslipidemia. The low IDL-B levels may explain the hepatic steatosis frequently reported in ALS. The high levels of the cholesterol-rich LDL-1 subfraction is consistent with previously reported hypercholesterolemia. CONCLUSION This study describes, for the first time, the distribution of serum lipoproteins in ALS patients, with low IDL-B and high LDL-1 subfraction level.

Abstract
Although second-line generic antiretroviral drugs are of great value in developing countries there are concerns regarding their quality and safety. This study is a case report and pharmacological study in healthy volunteers. A French subject of sub-saharan origin who visited Republic of Congo received a post-exposure treatment with AZT+3TC and LPV/r (200/50 mg, Arga-L®, India) following unprotected sexual intercourse. Two days later, in France, tests showed that plasma concentrations of lopinavir and ritonavir were undetectable. The WHO prequalification list showed Arga-L® was not prequalified. A pharmacological study in healthy volunteers evaluated oral bioavailability: plasma concentrations of generic LPV/r Arga-L® and LPV/r Kaletra® (400/100 mg) were measured after one single dose at 7 days apart in four healthy volunteers. Concentrations of Arga-L® at 12 h after intake were considerably lower than those of Kaletra®, revealing very low oral bioavailability of generic lopinavir and ritonavir (<10%) compared to the brand-name drug. We found that Arga-L®, despite having adequate qualitative and quantitative drug contents, had very poor bio availability compared to Kaletra®. In order to avoid the selection and the spread of drug-resistant HIV strains, rigorous pharmacological monitoring of generic antiretroviral drugs that are not pre-qualified by WHO, but are marketed in Africa, must be a priority for health authorities.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma is one of the most common cancers in children. Neuroblastoma differentiation is linked to the presence of the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein. Retinoic acid, a powerful differentiation-inducer in vitro, is a potent agent for the treatment of neuroblastoma. Using two different human neuroblastoma cell lines, SH-SY5Y and LA-N-5, we show here that PML protein leads to the formation of nuclear bodies (PML-NB) after only 1 h of retinoic acid treatment and that this formation is mediated by the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. Inhibition of protein kinase C also leads to formation of PML-NB via the ERK pathway. Both sumoylation and phosphorylation of PML in an ERK-dependent pathway are also required for formation of PML-NB. Finally, we show that PML-NB formation in neuroblastoma cells is associated with neurite outgrowth. These results support the proposal that the formation of PML-NB is correlated with the differentiation of neuroblastoma cells.

Abstract
Angiogenic factors such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were previously studied in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) but little is known concerning the anti-angiogenic response in ALL. At diagnosis, the plasma levels of the anti-angiogenic factor endostatin were significantly higher in 33 children with ALL than in controls (median values 17.7 and 7.6 ng/ml, respectively, p=0.0192) but no relationship was observed with plasma bFGF or VEGF levels. The highest levels were observed in patients with an hyperdiploïd karyotype. Expression of mRNA for collagen XVIII/endostatin in lymphoblasts was detected in 19/24 cases but protein secretion was found only in 14/28 supernatants of cultured lymphoblasts. No direct relationship appeared between secretion of endostatin by lymphoblasts and plasma levels. In addition, endostatin levels remained elevated in remission, suggesting that endostatin could have a stromal origin as well. No prognostic value of plasma endostatin could be assessed. In conclusion, the present data indicate that an anti-angiogenic response is observed in some ALL children, but its physiopathological importance remains to be established.

Abstract
The haematology analyser Coulter GEN.S gives a set of data -'positional parameters'- defining white blood cell (WBC) populations by mean of index values (mean and standard deviation of volume, conductivity and scatter, used to identify the WBC populations). The volume and conductivity parameters related to the lymphocytes were analysed at diagnosis in patients suffering from chronic B-lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL), other non-CLL lymphoproliferative disorders (OLPD) and viral diseases. The standard deviation of volume index (SDVI) is significantly higher in the three groups, whereas the mean volume index (MVI) is significantly lower in B-CLL, and increased in OLPD and viral diseases. These two groups could be distinguished by their mean conductivity index (MCI), which is significantly lower in viral disease group. Cut-offs were calculated for each parameter by the mean of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis. The study of the detection performances showed that the combination of lymphocyte count with SDVI, MVI and MCI could be used with a good sensitivity and specificity to discriminate between the most frequent lymphocyte pathologies, even in patients with normal lymphocyte count.

Abstract
The Coulter LH 750 is a new haematology analyser with several new features: a count of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs), automated WBC correction in presence of a flag indicating a cellular interference and a lower incidence of platelet or WBC interference flags when compared with the GEN.S, our current instrument. We had three main goals in our study: evaluating the LH 750 WBC counts when a GEN.S flag suggests a risk of WBC interference, ascertaining whether the platelet counts not flagged by the LH 750 were accurately assessed in samples flagged by the GEN.S and evaluating the NRBC assay provided by the LH 750. Flow cytometry, using CD45 and CD41, respectively for WBC and platelet labelling, was used as a reference method to assess the accuracy of the LH 750 counts. NRBC were identified by double labelling with propidium iodide (PI) and CD45, NRBCs being CD45-/PI+. A significant relationship was found between LH 750 and flow cytometric WBC counts, whether a WBC correction was made by the LH 750 (r = 0.9809, n = 54) or not (r = 0.9901, n = 23). A highly significant relationship was observed for platelets not only in the range from 0 to 450 x 10(9)/l (r = 0.981, n = 108) but also in cases of thrombocytopenia (range: 0-80 x 10(9)/l; r = 0.956, n = 51). In samples with NRBCs, the NRBC percentages given by the LH 750 and by flow cytometry were highly correlated (r = 0.977, n = 60) and WBC counts were accurate. In conclusion, the reduction in flagging by the LH 750, the accuracy of the results, and the availability of a NRBC count, constitute major advantages.

Abstract
Protein Z (PZ) is a vitamin K dependent factor identified in human plasma in 1984 whose physiological function was poorly understood. It was recently shown that protein Z is implicated in the down-regulation of coagulation by forming a complex with a plasma proteinase inhibitor called protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor (ZPI) which inhibits activated factor Xa on phospholipid surfaces. In the absence of an additional challenge, the disruption of PZ gene in mice is asymptomatic, but the association with the factor VLeiden mutation leads to a near complete mortality during the neonatal period with microvascular thrombosis. Unexpectedly, in humans, a relationship between protein Z deficiency and ischemic strokes, was firstly evidenced, but not confirmed by all the epidemiological study. Additional studies suggest that protein Z deficiency could be also a risk factor for acute coronary syndromes, early fetal losses, and increased the arterial risk in antiphospholipid syndrome. This review analyzes the different studies so far published and discusses the different results obtained in order to understand whether or not protein Z deficiency could be considered as an arterial ischemic risk factor.

Abstract
In breast cancers, clinical symptoms of inflammation localised around the tumour at the time of diagnosis have been considered to have poor prognosis significance. In this study, the biological mechanisms responsible for the deleterious action of monocytes in cancer were investigated. The incubation of the breast-cancer-derived MDA-MB231 cells with monocytes resulted in an increase in factors involved in cell invasion (i.e. both cancer cells and monocytes-associated urokinase and Tissue Factor, and PAI-1 and MMP-9 secretion). Moreover, the functions of monocytes were also modified. Incubation of monocytes with MDA-MB231 cancer cells resulted in a downregulation in the secretion of the antiproliferative cytokine Oncostatin M, while the apoptotic factor TNF alpha was dramatically increased. However, MDA-MB231 cancer cells have been shown to be resistant towards the apoptotic action of TNF alpha. These findings demonstrate that incubation of MDA-MB231 cancer cells with monocytes induced a crosstalk, which resulted in an increased expression of factors involved in cancer cell invasiveness and in a modification of monocytes function against cancer cells, while inflammatory effects were increased.

Abstract
Oncostatin M (OSM) is a cytokine of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family secreted by activated monocytes, and is expressed in atherosclerotic plaque. Smooth muscle cells (SMC), by expressing tissue factor (TF) and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) can contribute to the thrombogenicity of atherosclerotic plaque. Consequently, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of OSM on the procoagulant activity of SMC. We observed that OSM induced in a concentration-dependent manner a potent procoagulant activity (PCA) that was related in part to an increased synthesis of TF, both at the cell membrane and in SMC lysates. The increased expression of TF on SMC membrane induced by OSM was sustained and was still observed 24 h after stimulation by OSM. IL-6 and leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), two OSM-related cytokines, did not significantly modify TF expression at the surface of SMC. In addition to its effects on TF, OSM decreased the secretion of TFPI in the supernatants of SMC, as well as in the lysates, but was devoid of effect on TFPI bound at the membrane of SMC. IL-6 and LIF reduced also TFPI secretion, which could explain why the PCA of SMC lysates treated by IL-6 or LIF was increased, despite an absence of effect on TF expression. In conclusion, these data support the hypothesis that by increasing the PCA of SMC, OSM might be involved in the thrombotic complications associated with plaque rupture.

Abstract
Fibrinogen is a vascular risk factor. We suggest that it is a marker of cytokine secretion that simultaneously stimulates fibrinogen biosynthesis and vascular modifications responsible for atherothrombosis. Among these cytokines, oncostatin M (OSM) is the most potent cytokine for inducing fibrinogen biosynthesis by hepatocytes, and it could contribute to endothelial cell anomalies involved in the atherothrombotic process. Here we show that OSM acts (1) by inducing the secretion involved in invasion of the vessel wall by monocytes; (2) by inducing angiogenesis it promotes plaque destabilization, rupture, and consequently thrombosis; and (3) by decreasing fibrinolysis on macrovascular endothelial cells.

Abstract
Cerivastatin is used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia to inhibit 3-hydroxy 3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and thus prevent the synthesis of cholesterol precursors, such as farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), responsible, respectively, for translocation of Ras and Rho to the cell membrane, a step required for their cell signaling, leading to cell proliferation and migration. Recently, it has been suggested that non lipid-related effects of statins could play a beneficial role in cancer therapy. In this study, we have investigated the mechanisms by which statins inhibit cancer and the types of cancers which could benefit from this therapy. In MDA-MB-231 cells, an aggressive breast cancer cell line with spontaneous activation of Ras and NFkappaB and overexpression of RhoA, cerivastatin induced inhibition of both cell proliferation and invasion through Matrigel. This anti-proliferative effect was related to G(1)/S arrest due to an increase in p21(Waf1/Cip1). The anti-invasive effect was observed from 18 h and could be explained by RhoA delocalization from the cell membrane, resulting in disorganization of the actin fibers and disappearance of focal adhesion sites. The importance of RhoA inactivation in both these inhibitory effects was proved by their reversion by GGPP but not by FPP. Moreover, cerivastatin was also shown to induce inactivation of NFkappaB, in a RhoA inhibition-dependent manner, resulting in a decrease in urokinase and metalloproteinase-9 expression, two proteases involved in cell migration. The participation of Ras inactivation is considered a subsidiary mechanism for the effects of cerivastatin, as they were not rescued by FPP. Prolonged treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with high doses of cerivastatin induced a loss of cell attachment. Interestingly, the effect of cerivastatin was considerably lower on poorly invasive MCF-7 cells. In conclusion, our results suggest that cerivastatin inhibits cell signaling pathways involved in the invasiveness and metastatic properties of highly invasive cancers.

Abstract
The chemokine, stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1 alpha) and its receptor CXCR-4 (fusin, LESTR) are thought to be involved in the trafficking of hematopoietic progenitors and stem cells, as suggested by the chemotactic effect of SDF-1 alpha on these cells. Gene inactivation studies have shown that both SDF-1 alpha and CXCR-4 are essential for B lymphopoiesis. Migration of leukemic cells may also be dependent on SDF-1 alpha and CXCR-4. Fibronectin (FN) is a component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), and one of the natural supports for cell movement in their bone hematopoietic environment. In the present study, we examined the influence of FN on the chemotactic effect of SDF-1 alpha and on the CXCR-4 expression and function on human precursor-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B ALL) cells at sequential stages of development. Fourteen children with pre-B ALL were studied. Their immunophenotypes belonged to the first three stages of B cell differentiation. Despite relatively high levels of CXCR-4 expression at all stages, the responsiveness to SDF-1 alpha, measured as the percentage of migrating cells in the transwell culture system, varied with patients and seems to be less significant for pre-B3 (and pre-B1) than for pre-B2. There was no correlation (r = 0.2) between the SDF-1 alpha induced migration (range: 2.5-39%) and the cell surface density of CXCR-4 (range: 46.5-97.5%). The extracellular matrix protein FN, either coated on the filter (for more than 18 hours) or in soluble form, enhanced the SDF-1 alpha induced migration of pre-B ALL respectively (2 fold and 1.6 fold) without influencing CXCR-4 expression in short term cultures. Therefore, we analyzed the expression of the FN receptors, VLA-4 (CD49d) and VLA-5 (CD49e), by direct immunofluorescence, on these leukemic cells. VLA-4 was strongly expressed in all stages of pre-B ALL (range: 77-97%) while VLA-5 expression was more variable (range: 14-94%), but no correlation with the FN-dependent increased SDF-1 alpha chemotactic effect was noted. In conclusion, the migratory behavior of pre-B leukemic cells in response to SDF-1 alpha partly depends upon the stage of differentiation, and partly upon unexplained patient variability. Our results suggest that several molecules from the extracellular matrix, such as FN, may be implicated in this phenomenon.

Abstract
Prothrombotic phenotype has been described in protein-Z deficient mice, but the thrombotic risk associated with protein Z deficiency in human beings is unknown. We saw a protein Z plasma concentration deficiency of about 20% in 169 patients, from two hospitals, who had ischaemic stroke, whereas the frequency in 88 controls was about 5%. We saw no increase in the frequency of protein Z deficiency in 56 patients with venous thrombophilia. However, why protein Z deficiency was only observed in arterial thrombosis remains unknown.

Abstract
Sodium phenylacetate (NaPa), a non-toxic phenylalanine metabolite, has been shown to induce in vivo and in vitro cytostatic and antiproliferative effects on various cell types. In this work, we analysed the effect of NaPa on the invasiveness of breast cancer cell (MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and MCF-7 ras). Using the highly invasive breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, we demonstrated that an 18-hour incubation with NaPa strongly inhibits the cell invasiveness through Matrigel (86% inhibition at 20 mM of NaPa). As cell invasiveness is greatly influenced by the expression of urokinase (u-PA) and its cell surface receptor (u-PAR) as well as the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), we tested the effect of NaPa on these parameters. An 18-hour incubation with NaPa did not modify u-PA expression, either on MDA-MB-231 or on MCF-7 and MCF-7 ras cell lines, and induced a small u-PA decrease after 3 days of treatment of MDA-MB-321 with NaPa. In contrast, an 18 h incubation of MDA-MB-231 increased the expression of u-PAR and the secretion of MMP-9. As u-PAR is a ligand for vitronectin, a composant of the extracellular matrix, these data could explain the increased adhesion of MDA-MB-231 to vitronectin, while cell adhesivity of MCF-7 and MCF-7 ras was unmodified by NaPa treatment. NaPa induced also an increased expression of both Lymphocyte Function-Associated-1 (LFA-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1), which was obvious from 18 hour incubation with NaPa for the MDA-MB-231 cells, but was delayed (3 days) for MCF-7 and MCF-7 ras. Only neutralizing antibodies against LFA-1 reversed the decreased invasiveness of NaPa-treated cells. Therefore we can conclude that the strong inhibition of MDA-MB-231 invasiveness is not due to a decrease in proteases involved in cell migration (u-PA and MMP) but could be related both to the modification of cell structure and an increased expression of adhesion molecules such as u-PAR and LFA-1.

Abstract
It is now recognised that acute myocardial infarction results from the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. Lymphocytes and macrophages, which infiltrate rupture sites, contribute to plaque degradation by expressing urokinase (u-PA) bound to cell membrane by urokinase receptor (u-PAR) and by secreting metalloproteinase MMP-9. We have previously demonstrated that the uptake of oxidised LDL (ox-LDL) by monocytes induces an increase of u-PA and u-PAR expression. The present study shows that the expression of u-PA and u-PAR induced by ox-LDL on monocyte surface is suppressed by cerivastatin (a synthetic inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, Bayer) from 2 nM. This leads to reduced plasmin generation and monocyte adhesion to vitronectin. Furthermore, higher concentrations of cerivastatin (50-100 nM) reduce the expression of u-PA and u-PAR on unstimulated monocytes. It also inhibits MMP-9 secretion but has no effect on TIMP-1 secretion, suggesting that the decrease in MMP-9 has a real protective effect on plaque stabilisation. The inhibitory effect of cerivastatin on u-PA expression and MMP-9 secretion can be explained by the inhibition of NF-kappa B translocation into the nucleus, as shown by immunofluorescence. As farnesyl-pyrophosphate reverses the effect of cerivastatin, it is postulated that these effects could also be due to the inhibition of Ras prenylation. This was confirmed by confocal microscopy, which shows the Ras delocalisation from the monocyte membrane. The cerivastatin-induced effects on monocyte functions could explain, at least in part, the protective effect of this drug against atherothrombotic events.

Abstract
The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) has been shown to be involved in cell migration. As the receptor CXCR-4 is expressed on endothelial cells and upregulated by angiogenic factors, we were prompted to study the effect of SDF-1 on angiogenesis in endothelial cells from microvasculature. This study demonstrates that SDF-1 induces an angiogenic effect in vitro, primarily in a tridimensional fibrin gel. The increase in capillary tube formation was evident after a 10-day incubation with SDF-1. This was associated with a mild increase in VEGF production by microvascular endothelial cells (ELISA and rt-PCR) and a potent chemotactic effect. SDF-1 also induced an in vivo angiogenic activity as shown in the model of the rabbit corneal pocket. However, the angiogenesis was located in an area rich in inflammatory cells. The results of our study suggest that these data underline the potential role of SDF-1 in angiogenesis as the microvascular endothelial cells were greatly involved in this process.

Abstract
The soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) can increase IL-6-induced signalling by forming a complex with IL-6 and membrane-bound gp130 (the receptor beta chain which transduces signals). The conditions affecting this response to sIL-6R were studied using fibrinogen release from HepG2 hepatocytes. Exogenous sIL-6R had no effect alone or in the presence of a submaximal concentration of IL-6, but increased responses to supramaximal IL-6 concentrations in a concentration-related manner. Dexamethasone increased the expression of the membrane IL-6R and endogenous sIL6R release, and increased responses to supramaximal but not submaximal IL-6 concentrations. The amount of endogenous sIL-6R released is relatively small and is unlikely to influence the effects of the exogenous sIL-6R. The observed concentration-related decrease in sIL-6R production in the presence of IL-6 may indicate internalization of ligand/receptor complexes. This would significantly decrease the amount of IL-6R (soluble or membrane) available for signalling and limit continued functional response later in the cultures. These data indicate that the major factor influencing responses to exogenous sIL-6R is an excess of IL-6 which is necessary to form complexes with the sIL-6R, which can then interact with gp130 to increase signalling.

Abstract
Apigenin is a plant flavonoid that is thought to play a role in the prevention of carcinogenesis. However, its mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. Because of the importance of angiogenesis in tumor growth, we investigated the effect of apigenin on endothelial and smooth-muscle cells in an in vitro model. Apigenin markedly inhibited the proliferation, and, to a lesser degree, the migration of endothelial cells, and capillary formation in vitro, independently of its inhibition of hyaluronidase activity. In contrast, it strongly stimulated vascular smooth-muscle-cell proliferation. The molecular mechanisms of apigenin activity were analyzed in these 2 types of cells. Our results show that apigenin inhibits endothelial-cell proliferation by blocking the cells in the G(2)/M phase as a result of the accumulation of the hyperphosphorylated form of the retinoblastoma protein. Apigenin stimulation of smooth-muscle cells was attributed to the reduced expression of 2 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, p21 and p27, which negatively regulate the G(1)-phase cyclin-dependent kinase.

Abstract
In bone marrow, haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) rely on close contact with stromal cells for proliferation and differentiation. Stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1) is a chemokine produced by bone marrow stromal cells and has been reported to be a chemoattractant for CD34(+)cells. SDF-1 was evaluated for effects on proliferation of both mature and immature human progenitor cells in vitro. Neither proliferation nor maturation of peripheral blood cells was stimulated by SDF-1 alone. Moreover, we have previously demonstrated that 5-fluorouracile (5-FU) resistant HSC require a combination of interleukin 12 (IL-12), IL-6 and SCF for the production of morphologically recognizable clonogenic elements at day 14 in semisolid medium. Our data reported a strong enhancement of the IL-6, IL-12, SCF-induced synergism (172%) by SDF-1 (296.5%). Furthermore, our data suggest that this chemokine alone had no effect on triggering quiescent cells and may preserve these cells from 5-FU cell damage or upregulate early-acting cytokine receptors. Thus, SDF-1 might play a key role in early human haematopoiesis through its potent synergistic effects in combination with early-acting cytokines. These results suggest that a programmed response to sequential cytokine stimulation may be part of a control mechanism required for maintenance of proliferation of primitive HSC.

Abstract
It has been shown that hematopoietic progenitors can be expanded ex vivo in the presence of various cytokine combinations. Glucocorticoids (GC) are involved in the self-renewal of erythroid progenitors in chicken. To see whether GC have a similar effect on hematopoiesis in humans, CD34(+) peripheral blood stem cells were cultured in serum free medium in the presence of a GC, triamcinolone acetonide. However, our results demonstrate an inhibition of both erythroid and granulocyte-macrophage (GM) proliferation and a modification of erythroid colony morphology. Furthermore, RU38486 (Mifepristone), a potent GC antagonist, was unable to reverse the inhibitory effect of triamcinolone acetonide. We also identified and characterized another steroid subfamily, the mineralocorticoid (MC) subfamily, in human PB CD34(+) cells. The MC, aldosterone, significantly enhanced GM colony formation and diminished the erythroid colony number. Neither of effects were inhibited by ZK91587, an antagonist specific to the MC receptor (MCR). In contrast, ZK91587 reversed the stimulatory effect of deoxycorticosterone on GM colony formation. Cytoplasmic staining for MCR was observed in CD34(+) cells incubated with a polyclonal antiserum raised against human MCR. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the presence of MCR in human PB CD34(+) cells.

Abstract
Macrophages play a major role in angiogenesis. We recently reported that oncostatin M (OSM), a cytokine of the interleukin (IL)-6 family secreted by macrophages, has a potent angiogenic activity on human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1), but has no effect on macrovascular cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)). In this work, we show that in HMEC-1, OSM (0.5-2.5 ng/ml), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) (25 ng/ml), bFGF (25 ng/ml) and IL-1beta (5 ng/ml) induced production of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. In contrast, in HUVECs, neither OSM nor LIF induced COX-2 mRNA, suggesting that COX-2 might be implicated in the angiogenic activity of OSM. This was confirmed by the inhibiting effect on OSM-induced HMEC-1 proliferation of specific COX-2 inhibitors. In vivo studies confirmed this findings. We conclude that induction of COX-2 by OSM is necessary for its angiogenic activity, but is not sufficient since IL-1beta, which also induces COX-2 in HMEC-1, has only a poor proliferative effect.

Abstract
Neovascularization of the atherosclerotic plaque is responsible for its weakening and consequently for the complications of vascular disease. Macrophages are a source of growth factors that can modulate angiogenesis. In this study, we analyzed the effect of oncostatin M (OSM) on angiogenesis, as it could be involved in the development of atherosclerosis. The effect of OSM was compared with those of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). On human dermal microvasculature endothelial cells (HMEC-1s), OSM (22.5 to 112.5 pmol/L) induced a dose-dependent increase in cell proliferation greater than that induced by the classic angiogenic factors vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF; 543 pmol/L) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF; 1.1 nmol/L). LIF (19 to 475 pmol/L) induced only a 30% increase in cell proliferation, and IL-6 had no effect. Furthermore, in a modified Boyden-chamber model, OSM, LIF, and IL-6 were chemoattractant for HMEC-1s. In a tridimensional gel of fibrin, OSM increased tube formation and tube length, which were already noticeable by day 3. LIF and IL-6 induced a weaker effect that was only obvious by day 10. The angiogenic effect of OSM was also demonstrated in vivo in a rabbit corneal model: OSM was more potent than LIF, the length of the neovessels being longer with OSM than with LIF, whereas IL-6 was without effect. We tested factors that could be involved in the proliferative effect of OSM on HMEC-1s. OSM induced only a slight increase in the urokinase receptor and a 60% increase in VEGF secretion, whereas it does not modify IL-8 secretion or bFGF levels. The effect of OSM seems to depend on endothelial cell origin and cell species: OSM (up to 112.5 pmol/L) did not induce human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation and even had a small inhibitory effect (17%) on calf pulmonary artery endothelial cells. In conclusion, OSM induces an angiogenic effect on capillary endothelial cells, which could be, at least in part, implicated in pathological processes such as atherosclerosis or tumor growth.

Abstract
Hyaluronectin (HN) is a component of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue and is particularly associated with tumour inflammatory and connective stroma reaction, where it co-localizes with hyaluronic acid (HA). The HN/HA ratio has been suggested to be involved in tumour aggressivity and in the atherosclerosis process. IL-10 has also been described in atherosclerotic lesions and in cancer. HN production was therefore investigated in vitro in peripheral blood monocyte cell (PBMC) cultures, with and without bacterial lipolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukins (ILs) in the medium. HN was characterized in monocytic cell cytoplasm and in culture supernatants. Anti-IL-10 antibody suppressed the LPS-stimulating effect on HN production. HN synthesis rate was greatly increased in IL-10-activated cultures while IL-4 and IL-13, two other anti-inflammatory ILs, decreased HN release. In the presence of IL-10, the IL-4 or Il-13 inhibitory effect on HN synthesis was reversed. The results support the view that intratumoral release of IL-10 by monocytes may induce local production of HN. In conjunction with the known ability of HN to bind to HA, which is a cell migration and tumour invasion facilitating factor, and to inhibit HA-induced angiogenesis, our findings suggest that HN may modulate the effect of HA on atherosclerosis, angiogenesis and cancer development.

Abstract
Monocyte-derived foam cells figure prominently in rupture-prone regions of atherosclerotic plaque. As urokinase/urokinase-receptor (u-PA/u-PAR) is the trigger of a proteolytic cascade responsible for ECM degradation, we have examined the effect of atherogenic lipoproteins on monocyte surface expression of u-PAR and u-PA. Peripheral blood monocytes, isolated from 10 healthy volunteers, were incubated with 10 to 200 microg/ml of native or oxidised (ox-) atherogenous lipoproteins for 18 h and cell surface expression of u-PA and u-PAR was analysed by flow cytometry. Both LDL and Lp(a) induced a dose-dependent increase in u-PA (1.6-fold increase with 200 microg/ml of ox-LDL) and u-PAR [1.7-fold increase with 200 microg/ml of ox-Lp(a)]. There is a great variability of the response among the donors, some of them remaining non-responders (absence of increase of u-PA or u-PAR) even at 200 microg/ml of lipoproteins. In positive responders, enhanced u-PA/u-PAR is associated with a significant increase of plasmin generation ( .9-fold increase with 200 microg/ml of ox-LDL), as determined by an amidolytic assay. Furthermore, monocyte adhesion to vitronectin and fibrinogen was significantly enhanced by the lipoproteins [respectively 2-fold and 1.7-fold increase with 200 microg/ml of ox-Lp(a)], due to the increase of micro-PAR and ICAM-1, which are receptors for vitronectin and fibrinogen. These data suggest that atherogenous lipoproteins could contribute to the development of atheromatous plaque by increasing monocyte adhesion and trigger plaque weakening by inducing ECM degradation.

Abstract
Interleukin-12 (IL-12), a heterodimeric cytokine with potent biological activity, was evaluated for effects on proliferation of human immature progenitor cells in vitro. In vitro proliferation of 5-FU-resistant CD34+ (G0) peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) in response to sequential cytokine stimulation was examined in the presence and absence of 100 ng/ml IL-12. PBSC were found to include a subpopulation of cells that were resistant to 25 microg/ml 5-FU and required a combination of IL-12, IL-6 and SCF for the production of morphologically recognizable clonogenic elements at day 14 in semisolid medium. Furthermore, addition of IL-6 soluble receptor (IL-6Rs) to IL-6 and SCF led to a similar recruitment. We also demonstrated a significant production of IL-6Rs by CD34+ cells stimulated by IL-12. We noted that glucocorticoids and aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid, had a positive effect on recruitment, but neither mineralocorticoid nor glucocorticoids induced IL-6Rs production by CD34+ cells. The recruitment mechanism by steroids seemed to be different from that used by IL-12. These results confirm previous findings which showed the involvement of IL-12 on immature PBSCs and suggest that IL-12 might play a key role in early haemopoiesis.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that levels of plasma fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor (vWf), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) are associated with the incidence of vascular disease. Since oncostatin M dramatically induces fibrinogen biosynthesis by hepatocytes and could be implicated in vascular injury leading to atherosclerosis, we have analyzed the effect of oncostatin M on PAI-1, vWf and tPA secretion by endothelial cells. A 2-h incubation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells with oncostatin M increases thrombin-induced secretion of vWf to the same extent as tumour necrosis factor-alpha or interleukin-1 (137+/-26% of control for 5 ng/ml oncostatin M, P < 0.001, n=5). The effects on tPA and PAI-1 secretion were different depending on the type of endothelial cells tested. On human umbilical vein endothelial cells, oncostatin M induced an increase in PAI-1 and a decrease in tPA secretion, which could explain the thrombogenicity of oncostatin M on large vessels. On a human microvasculature endothelial cell line, oncostatin M did not modify PAI-1 but induced an increase in tPA secretion. This observation of the effects of oncostatin M on both macro- and microvasculature could explain the increased levels of vWf, PAI-1 and tPA in the plasma of atherosclerotic subjects identified in epidemiological studies, suggesting that oncostatin M could play a key role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions.

Abstract
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) or natural killer cell stimulatory factor (NKSF), has multiple effects on T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. In this study, the effect of IL-12 on human hematopoiesis was studied by analyzing the growth of CD34+ peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), in steady state. In the presence of Epo, IL-12 alone or in combination with IL-3 or SCF had no effect on the formation of colonies from CD34+ cells. In culture with Epo, G-CSF, and IL-3, the effect of Flt3-ligand (FL) on CD34+ PBSC was investigated in the presence or absence of IL-12. No additional effect of IL-12 was observed when combined with FL. We evaluated 5-FU-treated human CD34+ PBSC proliferation in cultures with Epo, G-CSF, and IL-3, in the presence or absence of IL-12. No cytokine combination enhanced colony formation from 5-FU-treated CD34+ cells. However, in cultures of 5-FU-treated human CD34+ cells, the most efficient combination was IL-3 + Epo + G-CSF + Accessory cells (CD34-). Furthermore, IL-12 enhanced this colony formation significantly. To investigate whether immature CD34+ cells were responsible for FL or SCF, 5-FU-treated human CD34+ cells were cultured with or without IL-12. Whereas no synergistic effect was observed in combination with IL-12, SCF alone significantly enhanced colony formation. However, the colony number was found to be smaller than with the potent combination of accessory cells in the presence of IL-12. These results indicate that accessory cells, lost in CD34+ cell purification, could be partly responsible for an IL-12 effect on immature human PBSC proliferation.

Abstract
Human interleukin 3 receptor (IL-3R) is constitutively expressed on committed haematopoietic stem cells, where it mediates proliferation and differentiation. This receptor is also expressed by monocytes and may induce functional activation. Interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, IL-13, and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) have different effects on human monocytes. As IL-3R may be regulated by different cytokines, whether the above-mentioned cytokines were able to modulate the alpha chain of IL-3R (IL-3R alpha) on monocytes was examined. Effects on IL-3R alpha antigen (Ag) expression were analysed by direct immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect variations in IL-3R alpha mRNA expression. IL-10 and TGF-beta were found to downregulate IL-3R alpha Ag. In contrast, IL-4 and IL-13 both caused a dose- and time-dependent increase. A maximum effect was observed at 1 ng/ml of IL-4 for 18 h. Furthermore, in RT-PCR, IL-4 was found to slightly up-regulate IL-3R alpha mRNA expression. These observations suggest that IL-4 and IL-13 play a role in the regulation of IL-3R alpha expression and the effects of cytokines on human monocytes may be mediated, in part, through the regulation of IL-3R.

Abstract
Recently two metalloproteinase, disintegrin, cysteine proteins (MDCs), also called ADAMs were identified on endothelial cells. However the role of these ADAMs are not defined on these cells. In order to elucidate whether ADAMs associated with endothelial cells could be involved in angiogenesis, we have tested the effect of an inhibitor of ADAM (GL 129471) in models of angiogenesis in vitro. Our results showed that GL 129471 inhibited endothelial cell migration and adhesion and increased the number of cells in the G2/M phase leading to an inhibition of cell proliferation. The effects of GL 129471 are not mimicked by the endogenous matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor TIMP-2. These data suggest that ADAMs may play important role in angiogenesis and could provide a new target for inhibition of angiogenesis in cancers.

Abstract
Urokinase (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR) have been proposed to be involved in monocyte migration by inducing degradation of matrix proteins. In addition, uPAR is also implicated in cell adhesion to the vascular wall. The adhesive function of uPAR depends on a direct interaction with vitronectin which is increased by uPA and by modification of cell surface integrin (such as CD11b-CD18) when associated to uPAR. In this study we analysed the role of three deactivating cytokines, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13, on the surface expression of uPA, uPAR and CD11b by monocytes and their consequences on monocyte adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen and vitronectin. IL-10 induced a decrease in uPA and CD11b after 18 h incubation and a delayed decrease in uPAR which was only significant after 48 h incubation. These results may explain the decrease in monocyte adhesion, which was observed after an 18 h incubation with IL-10, on immobilized vitronectin and fibrinogen. In contrast, IL-4 and IL-13 induced a decrease in uPAR after 18 h and a significant increase in uPA both in the cell lysates and at the cell surface, as well as an increase in cell surface associated CD11b. These cytokines did not modify cell adhesiveness to vitronectin or fibrinogen despite the increase in CD11b-CD18. This could be due to the decrease in uPAR because CD11b-CD18/uPAR forms a cell adhesion complex. In addition, the increase in uPA induced by IL-4 could counterbalance the direct interaction of uPAR with vitronectin. The increase in uPA suggests that IL-4 and IL-13 could induce plaque fissuring by monocytes, whereas IL-10 may induce protection against matrix protein degradation by decreasing uPA.

Abstract
High level of fibrinogen in plasma is recognised as an important vascular risk factor. However, it is not known if the increase in fibrinogen is directly responsible for the vascular risk or is a marker of vascular inflammation. Our data strengthen the hypothesis that the fibrinogen level is a marker of vascular disease, since a parallel effect of cytokines on fibrinogen biosynthesis and on vascular injury was noted. Among the cytokines which induce the synthesis of fibrinogen, oncostatin M (OSM) is the most potent cytokine synthesised by activated monocytes for inducing fibrinogen synthesis by Hep G2 cells (human hepatoma cell line). Interestingly at the same concentrations needed for fibrinogen biosynthesis, OSM induces smooth muscle cell proliferation. In contrast, the cytokines IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13 which have a protective effect against vascular injury leading to atherosclerosis, dose dependently down regulate the biosynthesis of fibrinogen. This was due to both a decrease of IL-6 induced fibrinogen synthesis by hepatocytes, evidenced by a decrease in fibrinogen secretion in the medium and beta chain mRNA expression and to an inhibition of production of the hepatocyte-stimulating activity for fibrinogen biosynthesis (HSF) by LPS-activated monocytes. Noteworthingly, IL-10 induces a significant decrease of the production of OSM by LPS-activated monocytes. In situ activation of monocytes by cytokines in the vessel wall could also contribute to the deposition of fibrin(ogen) derivatives, identified as pathogenic factor.
