IPMC/PUBLICATION JCI Team Mantegazza
Cortical Spreading Depolarization (CSD), a wave of neuronal hyperexcitability followed by a sudden drop in activity, is a pathological mechanism of migraine with aura and of other neurological diseases. M.Mantegazza’s group has studied the mechanism of CSD initiation induced by gain-of-function mutations of the NaV1.1 sodium channel, implicated in "familial hemiplegic migraine ". The group has shown that CSD is triggered specifically in the cortex by hyperexcitation of GABAergic neurons and this mechanism depends  on the increase of extracellular potassium concentration, resulting from the pathological excitation of neurons induced by the gain of function of NaV1.1

The Promenade niçoise of the English variant

This article details the spread of the "English" (alpha) variant of SARS-CoV-2 within the city of Nice in early 2021. Dr. Pascal Barbry's team analyzed wastewater from about 20 points in the city by RNA sequencing. This allowed them to map the composition of different variants present in the territory. Such approaches may provide valuable epidemiological information in the future.

Identification of a new role of XBP1 in the control of mitophagy and potential impact to the etiology of Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by an exacerbated endoplasmic reticulum stress and by mitophagy defects. The molecular triggers linking these two alterations had not been yet described. We have shown that XBP1s controlled the transcription of PINK1, a master regulator of mitophagy, and that PINK1 modulated XBP1S phosphorylation, subcellular localization and function. We established that this functional interplay impacted mitophagy process in several PD cellular and mice models as well as in PD-affected brains.

What do secreted phospholipases A2 have to offer in the fight against various viruses up to SARS-CoV-2?

 
Secreted phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) have antimicrobial properties against different bacteria, but also against different viruses and parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum (malaria). This review, written by two teams with expertise in venom and human sPLA2, summarises our knowledge of the antiviral and proviral role of sPLA2, illustrating their potential role as a therapeutic target, biologically active molecule or biomarker of viral infections, up to and including the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic.
Recipients of Alpes Maritimes Department's Health 2020 call
 
Three IPMC equipment projects have been awarded a prize in the Alpes Maritimes Department's Health 2020 call. Remarkably, IPMC is the only academic research laboratory to be distinguished. The prizes were given on 27 May in the Hemicycle of the Hôtel du Département des Alpes-Maritimes.

Breast Cancer: The flip side of strength
 
Breast cancer remains the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in women, despite existing therapies. In this study, Thomas Bertero & Stéphanie Torrino have identified one of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that promote the development of these cancers. Their results open new therapeutic perspectives for breast cancer but also for other pathologies.
