Research

I am involved in the “Plant Metabolism and Bioresources” theme to study the carnitine biosynthesis pathway in Arabidopsis and get insights in the carnitine physiological roles in plants, especially in lipid metabolism and stress tolerance.

I collaborate with the “Biomimicry and Biomolecular Diversity” theme in a transversal approach to study interactions of natural amphiphilic compounds with biomimetic membranes and understand the mode of action of such molecules to trigger plant defenses or to inhibit phytopathogens. I study the physiological effects of the compounds, the defense pathways and mechanisms induced in plants (Arabidopsis, rapeseed) and microorganisms.

I lead a more applicative project aiming to optimize and validate the efficiency of rhamnolipids to protect rapeseed from pathogenic fungi in the field.

I look for new biocontrol agents or new biocontrol strategies.

General information

My first academic research experience took place in 1998 in the Plant Science Institute (CNRS, Gif-sur-Yvette). I got molecular biology skills in the Dr A. Kondorosi’s laboratory, with Dr P. Ratet in a Medicago truncatula T-DNA tagging project. I then joined the group of Dr J. Giraudat to work with Dr F. Parcy to study the fine-tuning gene expression process during late embryogenesis in Arabidopsis. In 2001, I got an Engineer position in the University of Technology of Compiègne in the Enzyme and Cell Engineering Unit. In 2003, I started a PhD to study the interaction and the defense mechanisms induced by peptaibols (amphiphilic peptides mainly produced by Trichoderma fungi) on the plant Arabidopsis. In 2007, I got involved in a project aiming to study the carnitine role in plants. This project was initiated by Pr Y. Perrin in the PMB theme. I more precisely studied the carnitine biosynthesis pathway in Arabidopsis to identify enzymes involved in carnitine synthesis and to study mutants of these enzymes. Since 2014, as a Research Engineer, I have initiated a project with Pr C. Sarazin, to study the mode of perception/action of natural amphiphilic glycolipids by plants or against phytopathogens.

Frontiers in Plant Science2018, 1778,101-124.
     ABSTRACT: Rhamnolipids (RLs) are amphiphilic molecules naturally produced by some bacteria with a large range of biological activities. Although some studies report their potential interest in plant protection, evaluation of their effects and efficiency on annual crops of worldwide agronomic interest is lacking. The main objective of this work was to investigate their elicitor and protective activities on rapeseed crop species while evaluating their physiological effects. Here we report that RLs from Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretome trigger an effective protection of Brassica napus foliar tissues toward the fungus Botrytis cinerea involving the combination of plant defense activation and direct antimicrobial properties. We demonstrated their ability to activate canonical B. napus defense responses including reactive oxygen species production, expression of defense genes, along with callose deposits and stomatal closure as efficient physical protections. In addition, microscopic cell death observations and electrolyte leakage measurements indicated that RLs trigger a hypersensitive response-like defense in this plant. We also showed that foliar spray applications of RLs do not induce deleterious physiological consequences on plant growth or chlorophyll content and that RL protective properties are efficient on several grown cultivars of rapeseed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of RLs as an elicitor that suppresses fungal disease on tissues of an annual crop species under greenhouse conditions. Our results highlight the dual mode of action of these molecules exhibiting plant protection activation and antifungal activities and demonstrate their potential for crop cultures as environmental-friendly biocontrol solution.

Jacques F., Rippa S., Perrin Y. Physiology of L-carnitine in plants in light of the knowledge in animals and microorganisms. Plant Science2018, 9,1170.
     ABSTRACT: L-carnitine is present in all living kingdoms where it acts in diverse physiological processes. It is involved in lipid metabolism in animals and yeasts, notably as an essential cofactor of fatty acid intracellular trafficking. Its physiological significance is poorly understood in plants, but L-carnitine may be linked to fatty acid metabolism among other roles. Indeed, carnitine transferases activities and acylcarnitines are measured in plant tissues. Current knowledge of fatty acid trafficking in plants rules out acylcarnitines as intermediates of the peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism, unlike in animals and yeasts. Instead, acylcarnitines could be involved in plastidial exportation of de novo fatty acid, or importation of fatty acids into the ER, for synthesis of specific glycerolipids. L-carnitine also contributes to cellular maintenance though antioxidant and osmolyte properties in animals and microbes. Recent data indicate similar features in plants, together with modulation of signaling pathways. The biosynthesis of L-carnitine in the plant cell shares similar precursors as in the animal and yeast cells. The elucidation of the biosynthesis pathway of L-carnitine, and the identification of the enzymes involved, is today essential to progress further in the comprehension of its biological significance in plants.

Xu J., Merlier F., Avalle B., Veillard V., Debré P., Haupt K., Tse Sum Bui B. Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanoparticles as Potential Synthetic Antibodies for Immunoprotection against HIV . ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces2019, 11,9824-9831.
     ABSTRACT: We describe the preparation and characterization of synthetic antibodies based on molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (MIP-NPs) for the recognition and binding of the highly conserved and specific peptide motif SWSNKS (3S), an epitope of the envelope glycoprotein 41 (gp41) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). This motif is implicated in the decline of CD4+ T cells and leads to the deterioration of the immune system during HIV infection. Therefore, the development of MIP-NPs that can target and block the 3S peptide to prevent subsequent cascade interactions directed toward the killing of CD4+ T cells is of prime importance. Because most antibodies recognize their protein antigen via a conformational or structured epitope (as opposed to a linear epitope commonly used for molecular imprinting), we employed protein molecular modeling to design our template epitope so that it mimics the three-dimensional structure fold of 3S in gp41. The resulting template peptide corresponds to a cyclic structure composed of CGSWSNKSC, with the 3S motif well orientated for imprinting. MIP-NPs with a size of 65 nm were obtained by solid-phase synthesis and were water-soluble. They were prepared by a judicious combination of multiple functional monomers affording hydrogen bonding, ionic, π–π, and hydrophobic interactions, conferring high affinity and selectivity toward both the cyclic peptide and the whole gp41 protein. These results suggest that our MIPs could potentially be used for blocking the function of the 3S motif on the virus.

     ABSTRACT: Feelings in humans are mental states representing groups of physiological functions that usually have defined behavioural purposes. Feelings, being evolutionarily ancient, are thought to be coordinated in the brain stem of animals. One function of the brain is to prioritise between competing mental states and, thus, groups of physiological functions and in turn behaviour. Plants use groups of coordinated physiological activities to deal with defined environmental situations but currently have no known mental state to prioritise any order of response. Plants do have a nervous system based on action potentials transmitted along phloem conduits but which in addition, through anastomoses and other cross?links, forms a complex network. The emergent potential for this excitable network to form a mental state is unknown, but it might be used to distinguish between different and even contradictory signals to the individual plant and thus determine a priority of response. This plant nervous system stretches throughout the whole plant providing the potential for assessment in all parts and commensurate with its self?organising, phenotypically plastic behaviour. Plasticity may, in turn, depend heavily on the instructive capabilities of local bioelectric fields enabling both a degree of behavioural independence but influenced by the condition of the whole plant.

Merlier F., Jellali R., Leclerc E. Online monitoring of hepatic rat metabolism by coupling a liver biochip and a mass spectrometer. Analyst2017, 142,3747-3757.
     ABSTRACT: A microfluidic liver biochip was coupled with a mass spectrometer to detect in real time the drug metabolism of hepatocytes. The hepatocytes were cultivated in the biochip for 35 h. The biochip was placed in a small-scale incubator in which the temperature and CO2 concentration were controlled. The biochip was connected serially to a mass spectrometer, a peristaltic pump and a culture medium reservoir. The injection in the mass spectrometer was performed every 10 min for 11 h. The metabolism of midazolam, phenacetin, omeprazole, dextromethorphan, repaglinide, rosuvastatin, tolbutamide and caffeine was investigated. We monitored the apparition of omeprazole sulfone, hydroxy omeprazole, repaglinide glucuronide, rosuvastatin lactone, dextrorphan, 1-hydroxy midazolam, 4-hydroxy midazolam, 1,4-hydroxy midazolam, paracetamol and 1,3-methylxanthine. Although these were observed, hydroxytolbutamide, 3-methoxymorphinan and midazolam glucuronide, hydroxy repaglinide were not detected. Based on a pharmacokinetic model, we calculated in vitro intrinsic clearances in which adsorption onto the perfusion circuit was taken into account. Then, using a liver organ model, we extrapolated the in vitro intrinsic clearances to the in vivo clearances. The estimated in vivo clearances were in agreement with the literature data on rats for midazolam, dextromethorphan, phenacetin, tolbutamide and caffeine. Rosuvastatin, omeprazole and repaglinide prediction underestimated the in vivo data.

Research

I’m working at the interface between the theme “Plant Metabolism and Bioresources” and “Biomimicry and Biomolecular Recognition”.

My research focuses on the exploration and exploitation of molecular diversity to modulate plant metabolism. The goal is to provide tools to optimize plant productivity either by acting directly on the metabolic pathways of interest, or by helping plants to adapt themselves to biotic and abiotic stresses.

General information

PhD in biology from the University of Poitiers (in 2005).

Work focused on the study of the eutypiosis of the vine along two axes: understand the dialogue between the plant and the pathogenic fungus on the one hand and on the other hand develop tools to fight against infection. This latter approach was based on the use of natural molecules (amino acids and derivatives) and the use of pathogenic effectors to develop an immunoassay detection tool.

Joined UTC as research engineer in 2006 in the Research Direction to assist researchers in their projects, from preparing call’s answer to the exploitation of results. Also involved in University’s programs, in particular in structuration and implementation of the ITE PIVERT.

Member of the laboratory since July 2017.

     ABSTRACT: We describe the preparation and characterization of synthetic antibodies based on molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (MIP-NPs) for the recognition and binding of the highly conserved and specific peptide motif SWSNKS (3S), an epitope of the envelope glycoprotein 41 (gp41) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). This motif is implicated in the decline of CD4+ T cells and leads to the deterioration of the immune system during HIV infection. Therefore, the development of MIP-NPs that can target and block the 3S peptide to prevent subsequent cascade interactions directed toward the killing of CD4+ T cells is of prime importance. Because most antibodies recognize their protein antigen via a conformational or structured epitope (as opposed to a linear epitope commonly used for molecular imprinting), we employed protein molecular modeling to design our template epitope so that it mimics the three-dimensional structure fold of 3S in gp41. The resulting template peptide corresponds to a cyclic structure composed of CGSWSNKSC, with the 3S motif well orientated for imprinting. MIP-NPs with a size of 65 nm were obtained by solid-phase synthesis and were water-soluble. They were prepared by a judicious combination of multiple functional monomers affording hydrogen bonding, ionic, π–π, and hydrophobic interactions, conferring high affinity and selectivity toward both the cyclic peptide and the whole gp41 protein. These results suggest that our MIPs could potentially be used for blocking the function of the 3S motif on the virus.

     ABSTRACT: Altered glycosylation levels or distribution of sialic acids (SA) or hyaluronan in animal cells are indicators of pathological conditions like infection or malignancy. We applied fluorescently-labeled molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) particles for bioimaging of fixed and living human keratinocytes, to localize hyaluronan and sialylation sites. MIPs were prepared with the templates D-glucuronic acid (GlcA), a substructure of hyaluronan, and N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA), the most common member of SA. Both MIPs were found to be highly selective towards their target monosaccharides, as no cross-reactivity was observed with other sugars like N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, D-glucose and D-galactose, present on the cell surface. The dye rhodamine and two InP/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the green and in the red regions were used as fluorescent probes. Rhodamine-MIPGlcA and rhodamine-MIPNANA were synthesized as monodispersed 400 nm sized particles and were found to bind selectively their targets located in the extracellular region, as imaged by epifluorescence and confocal microscopy. In contrast, when MIP-GlcA and MIP-NANA particles with a smaller size (125 nm) were used, the MIPs being synthesized as thin shells around green and red emitting QDs respectively, it was possible to stain the intracellular and pericellular regions as well. In addition, simultaneous dual-color imaging with the two different colored QDs-MIPs was demonstrated. Importantly, the MIPs were not cytotoxic and did not affect cell viability; neither was the cells morphology affected as demonstrated by live cell imaging. These synthetic receptors could offer a new and promising imaging tool to monitor disease progression.

     ABSTRACT: Feelings in humans are mental states representing groups of physiological functions that usually have defined behavioural purposes. Feelings, being evolutionarily ancient, are thought to be coordinated in the brain stem of animals. One function of the brain is to prioritise between competing mental states and, thus, groups of physiological functions and in turn behaviour. Plants use groups of coordinated physiological activities to deal with defined environmental situations but currently have no known mental state to prioritise any order of response. Plants do have a nervous system based on action potentials transmitted along phloem conduits but which in addition, through anastomoses and other cross?links, forms a complex network. The emergent potential for this excitable network to form a mental state is unknown, but it might be used to distinguish between different and even contradictory signals to the individual plant and thus determine a priority of response. This plant nervous system stretches throughout the whole plant providing the potential for assessment in all parts and commensurate with its self?organising, phenotypically plastic behaviour. Plasticity may, in turn, depend heavily on the instructive capabilities of local bioelectric fields enabling both a degree of behavioural independence but influenced by the condition of the whole plant.
