Laboratoire de recherche vasculaire translationnelle
Présentation
Le Laboratoire de Recherche Vasculaire Translationnelle (Laboratory for Vascular Translational Science - LVTS) est associé à l’Inserm, à l’Université Paris Diderot, et l’Université Paris 13. Il est identifié comme UMRS 1148.
Avec 5 équipes, le laboratoire d’environ 150 personnes a une approche transdisciplinaire avec les objectifs de lutte contre les pathologies vasculaires. Les équipes sont affiliées à 3 ITMO (CMN, TS, IHP), à plusieurs Ecoles doctorales du PRES Sorbonne Paris Cité, et à 2 sections scientifiques de l'Inserm (CSS4 et CSS8).
Pour mener à bien ces projets, les compétences humaines et technologiques comprennent les bases de données cliniques, enquêtes cliniques translationnelles (sténose carotidienne, anévrisme et dissections de l'aorte ascendante, Biocore ), bases de données de tissus humains et de cellules, de nombreux modèles expérimentaux de la maladie (souris transgéniques, rats , lapins), des méthodes de biologie moléculaire et cellulaire (génétique et épigénétique, protéomique, ingénierie des protéines, cytométrie en flux), la chimie des biopolymères, l’élaboration de biomatériaux et nanosystèmes, et les technologies d'imagerie chez les petits animaux et chez l'homme (imagerie nucléaire, ultrasons et IRM).

[hal-01996274] High burden of recurrent cardiovascular events in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: The French Familial Hypercholesterolemia Registry
Date: 1 fév 2019 - 19:11
Desc: Background and aims: Cardiovascular risk is high in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). The objective of this study was to describe recurrent cardiovascular events in selected patients with HeFH attending lipid clinics in France. Methods: We included 781 patients with a clinical (Dutch Lipid Clinic Network score >= 6) or genetic diagnosis of HeFH who had experienced a first cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary bypass, unstable angina, stroke, peripheral arterial revascularization or cardiovascular death) and were enrolled in the French Familial Hypercholesterolemia Registry (November 2015 to March 2018). Results: The first cardiovascular event occurred at the mean age of 47 years (interquartile range 39-55) in a predominantly male population (72%); 48% of patients were on statin therapy. Overall, 37% of patients had at least one recurrent cardiovascular event (mean of 1.8 events per patient), of which 32% occurred in the 12 months after the index event; 55% of events occurred > 3 years after the first event. Mean LDL-C at the last clinic visit was 144 +/- 75 mg/dL (132 +/- 69 mg/dL for patients on high-potency statin therapy and 223 +/- 85 mg/dL for untreated patients). Conclusions: The rate of recurrent cardiovascular events was high in French patients with HeFH in secondary prevention. The detection of FH during childhood is crucial to prevent CV events at a young age by early initiating statin therapy. There is a clear urgent need to expand the actual very small target population which can be treated with the PCSK9 inhibitor in France.

[hal-03580779] Drug-induced aortic valve stenosis: An under recognized entity
Date: 18 fév 2022 - 17:19
Desc: Background: We have been intrigued by the observation that aortic stenosis (AS) may be associated with characteristic features of mitral drug-induced valvular heart disease (DI-VHD) in patients exposed to valvulopathic drugs, thus suggesting that beyond restrictive heart valve regurgitation, valvulopathic drugs may be involved in the pathogenesis of AS. Methods: Herein are reported echocardiographic features, and pathological findings encountered in a series of patients suffering from both AS (mean gradient > 15 mm Hg) and mitral DI-VHD after valvulopathic drugs exposure. History of rheumatic fever, chest radiation therapy, systemic disease or bicuspid aortic valve disease were exclusion criteria. Results: Twenty-five (19 females, mean age 62 years) patients having both AS and typical features of mitral DI-VHD were identified. Mean transaortic pressure gradient was 32+/-13 mm Hg. Aortic regurgitation was >= mild in 24 (96%) but trivial in one. Known history of aortic valve regurgitation following drug initiation prior the development of AS was previously diagnosed in 17 patients (68%). Six patients underwent aortic valve replacement and 3 both aortic and mitral valve replacement. In the 9 patients with pathology analysis, aortic valvular endocardium was markedly thickened by dense non-inflammatory fibrosis, a characteristic feature of DI-VHD. Conclusion: The association between AS and typical mitral DI-VHD after valvulopathic drug exposure may not be fortuitous. Aortic regurgitation was usually associated to AS and preceded AS in most cases but may be lacking. Pathology demonstrated the potential role of valvulopathic drugs in the development of AS.

[hal-01447065] Eradication of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Patients With Cirrhosis Reduces Risk of Liver and Non-Liver Complications
Date: 26 jan 2017 - 15:29
Desc: BACKGROUND & AIMS: We performed a prospective study to investigate the effects of a sustained viral response (SVR) on outcomes of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and compensated cirrhosis. METHODS: We collected data from 1323 patients included in the prospective Agence Nationale pour la Recherche sur le SIDA et les hépatites virales (ANRS) viral cirrhosis (CirVir) cohort, recruited from 35 clinical centers in France from 2006 through 2012. All patients had HCV infection and biopsy-proven cirrhosis, were Child-Pugh class A, and had no prior liver complications. All patients received anti-HCV treatment before or after inclusion (with interferon then with direct antiviral agents) and underwent an ultrasound examination every 6 months, as well as endoscopic evaluations. SVR was considered as a time-dependent covariate; its effect on outcome was assessed by the Cox proportional hazard regression method. We used a propensity score to minimize confounding by indication of treatment and capacity to achieve SVR. RESULTS: After a median follow-up period of 58.2 months, 668 patients (50.5%) achieved SVR. SVR was associated with a decreased incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (hazard ratio [HR] compared with patients without an SVR, 0.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19-0.43; P < .001) and hepatic decompensation (HR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.17-0.39; P < .001). Patients with SVRs also had a lower risk of cardiovascular events (HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.25-0.69; P = .001) and bacterial infections (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.29-0.68; P < .001). Metabolic features were associated with a higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with SVRs, but not in patients with viremia. SVR affected overall mortality (HR, 0.27 compared with patients without SVR; 95% CI, 0.18-0.42; P < .001) and death from liver-related and non-liver-related causes. Similar results were obtained in a propensity score-matched population. CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed a reduction in critical events, liver-related or not, in a prospective study of patients with HCV infection and compensated cirrhosis included in the CirVir cohort who achieved an SVR. We found an SVR to reduce overall mortality and risk of death from liver-related and non-liver-related causes. A longer follow-up evaluation is required to accurately describe and assess specific risk factors for complications in this population.
[hal-02189487] Raspberry-like small multicore gold nanostructures for efficient photothermal conversion in the first and second near-infrared windows
Date: 19 juil 2019 - 16:45
Desc: Gold nanoraspberries were synthesized by a seed-mediated synthesis with polyethylene glycol-functionalized bisphosphonates. The original structure shifted the optical absorption to infrared, revealing very efficient photothermal properties within the 2nd biological transparency window and leading to cancer cell necrosis at moderate intracellular doses and low (safe) laser power.
