Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of medical biology and more particularly to preventive and curative treatments for viral infection with the hepatitis C virus.
- the invention relates more particularly to a method of screening for a compound modulating the activity of a RXR-nuclear receptor heterodimer, preferably RXR-PPAR.
- the invention also relates to the compound capable of being obtained by the screening method of the invention, in particular the agonist compounds of the RXR-PPAR hetarodimere as well as a compound capable of hybridizing selectively with the gene or a product of the gene coding for the RXR and PPAR subunits of said heterodimer, for the preparation of a medicament intended for the preventive and / or curative treatment of an infection by the hepatitis C virus, associated hepatic steatosis or no to hepatitis C virus infection of hepatocytes, hepatic inflammation and liver damage associated or not with hepatitis C virus hepatocyte infection, as well as hepatic cirrhosis and / or to post-hepatic cancer associated or not with an infection of the hepatocytes by the hepatitis C virus.
- HCV Hepatitis C virus
- hepatitis C virus has been identified as the primary agent responsible for hepatitis post-transfusion and related to drug addiction (Kuo G, Science 1989). HCV infection represents a major public health problem since its frequency in France is estimated at 1.3% (Roudot-Thoraval F, Hepatology 1998). More than 600,000 people are therefore affected by this infection in our country. HCV is characterized by a strong affinity for liver cells (hepatocytes) resulting in acute inflammation of this organ or acute hepatitis. This acute hepatitis is most often asymptomatic clinically and turns in 80% of cases into chronic hepatitis which can be complicated by cirrhosis and liver cancer (Poynard T, Lancet 1997).
- the identification of this new target is based on recent data from the literature and on results obtained by the inventors.
- the hepatitis C virus enters hepatocytes using, in part, the receptor for low density lipoproteins (LDLR or CD36) (Monazahian M, J Med Virol 1999), then multiplies in the cell and can then invade others. This infection induces an immune response which is most often incapable of spontaneously eliminating the virus; this leads to chronic hepatitis in around 80% of cases (Alter M, N Engl J Med 1992).
- IL-4 interleu ine 4
- Other cytokines are also involved in the inflammatory mechanisms linked to infection with the hepatitis C virus, in particular by the production of TNF ⁇ , IL-l ⁇ and IL-18 (Nelson DR, Dig Dis Sci 1997; McGuinness PH, Gut 2000) leading to the activation of the NFKB complex and to the production of molecules involved in the inflammatory reaction.
- IL-4 has been shown to be the main cytokine regulating the expression of PPAR ⁇ which plays an essential role in the regulation of the production of in lammatory cytokines such as TNF ⁇ and IL-l ⁇ via an inhibition of NFkB.
- Hepatitis C infection is also the source of a fatty overload characteristic of hepatocytes called fatty liver (Goodman ZD, Semin Liver Dis 1995; Czaja A, J Hepatol 1998; Clouston AD, J Hepatol 2001) the first clinical manifestation of infection with the hepatitis C virus.
- nuclear receptors represent one of the largest families of transcription some of which can be activated by small lipophilic molecules such as hormones and nutrients for example.
- An important subfamily of these nuclear receptors corresponds to factors having the property of forming a heterodimer with the receptor X for retinoids (RXR).
- This subfamily is composed in particular of the receptor for vitamin D (VDR), the receptor for retinoic acid (RAR), the receptor for thyroid hormones (TRs), proliferators of peroxisomes (PPARs), receptors for bile acids (BAR also called FXR), receptors for oxysterols (LXRs), steroids and xenobiotics (SXR also called PXR).
- VDR vitamin D
- RAR receptor for retinoic acid
- TRs thyroid hormones
- PPARs proliferators of peroxisomes
- BAR also called FXR
- receptors for oxysterols LXRs
- steroids and xenobiotics SXR also called PXR
- Peroxisome-activated receptors are nuclear receptors capable of forming a heterodimer with RXR.
- the expression of PPAR ⁇ is mainly localized in the liver, the muscle and in a certain form of adipose tissue corresponding to brown fat.
- the expression of PPAR ⁇ or ⁇ is ubiquitous whereas PPAR ⁇ is produced essentially at the level of adipose tissue, macrophages and colonic epithelial cells.
- the production of PPAR ⁇ in the liver in humans remains unknown.
- These PPAR receptors are involved in the transcription of many target genes after attachment to a specific DNA response element (PPRE).
- PPAR Different synthetic and natural ligands can fix and activate PPAR.
- Activation of PPAR leads to various biological effects including activation, differentiation and proliferation of fat cells (adipocytes), regulation of lipid metabolism, regulation of inflammation and regulation of insulin response (Lehmann JM, J Biol Chem 1995) (Shoonjans K, Biochim Biophys Acta 1996 ).
- Other receptors which heterodimerize with RXR such as LXR, TRs, BAR / FXR, and SXR / PXR are strongly expressed by hepatocytes.
- LXRs and FXR / BAR receptors probably play an important role in hepatic homeostasis since they control the metabolism of cholesterol and bile acids and that there is regulation between these receptors and PPAR.
- PPARs are capable of inducing the expression of LXR ⁇ in the liver (Tobin & Auwerx, Mol. Endo 2000) and macrophages (Tontonoz & Evans, Mol. Cell, 2001).
- the inventors therefore propose to use PPAR ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ the modulators of PPAR as well as the nuclear receptors capable of forming a heterodimer with RXR (LXR, TRs, BAR / FXR, and SXR / PXR) as a new therapeutic target and / or new therapeutic proteins for the treatment of viral hepatitis C, and this by having an action on the penetration of the virus into the cells, by reducing the inflammatory reaction and the fibrosis and / or by reducing the risk of cancer.

- the animals are grouped in cages (5 to 6 animals per cage) and have free access to water and rodent food.
- the mice For a study of an acute pathology induced by CC1, the mice are anesthetized for 10 minutes and an intraperitoneal injection of a 1: 1 solution of CC1 4 and sterile mineral oil at a dose of lml / kg d animal is realized. Control mice receive a dose of mineral oil using the same technique.
- the PPAR ⁇ - / - and PPAR ⁇ +/- mice both on a 129 / Sv genetic background are used (the homozygous mouse PPAR ⁇ - / - is not viable) to verify the potential susceptibility to the development of hepatitis in these disabled animals.
- wild Balb / c mice are used in intervention studies with the PPAR ⁇ agonist, pioglitazone (50 mg / kg). This compound is administered once a day by oral gavage starting 3 days before the induction of hepatitis. The animals are killed by cervical dislocation between days 2 to 5 after the administration of CC1.
- the livers are recovered and then fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde and then included in paraffin.
- the sections are stained with hematoxylin and eosin then examined blind by a pathologist and then evaluated according to the score of Ishak (Ishak, et al. J. Hepatol. 1995, 22: 696-699).
- RNA is isolated from a sample of liver and mononuclear cells with the TRIzol® reagent (Life Technologies, Cergy Pontoise, France) as described by the manufacturer. After treatment at 37 ° C for 30 minutes with 20 to 50 units of DNase I RNAse-free (Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Indianapolis, USA) the total RNA (10 ⁇ g) is reverse transcribed into cDNA. The reverse transcription reaction mixture is amplified by PCR using sense and antisense primers specific for nuclear receptors (RXR ⁇ , LXR ⁇ , VDR, PPAR ⁇ , PPAR ⁇ , PPAR ⁇ ) and ⁇ -actin. The samples are subjected to 40 PCR cycles (Perkin-Elmer Corporation, Foster City, California, USA).

- liver samples were taken from wild mice and invalidated mice for the different PPAR isoforms and for LXR, TRs, BAR / FXR, SXR / PXR.
- the quantification of CD36 in these different models also highlights the in vivo involvement of these nuclear receptors in the expression of CD36 in the liver.
- the use of modulators for these nuclear receptors will allow the inventors to control, in wild animals, their roles in the expression of CD36 in the liver.
- hepatitis induced by chemical agents are used to demonstrate the effect anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic modulators of nuclear receptors PPARs, LXR, TRs, BAR / FXR, SXR / PXR.

- a reporter gene luciferase
- PPRE response element
- LXRE response element
- the inventors Using the RT-PCR technique, the inventors have quantified the messenger RNAs of RXR ⁇ ,
- the inventors used a Western blot analysis to quantify the PPAR ⁇ protein in the same samples.
- the inventors carried out a Western blot using an antibody directed against PPAR ⁇ in the liver of control individuals and of patients infected with HCV.
- the inventors used explanted livers taken from patients who underwent liver transplantation because they were suffering from cirrhosis associated with an HCV infection.
- the optical density (OD) of livers infected with HCV appears less intense than that of control livers (FIG. 3) suggesting that the expression of both proteins and mRNAs of PPAR ⁇ is affected in the liver of patients infected with HCV.
- the PPAR / RXR heterodimer is involved in the regulation of the inflammatory process; the inventors have therefore hypothesized that the lack of expression of PPAR ⁇ in the liver is capable of influencing the development of inflammation after liver injury.
- mice as well as wild mice of the same litter have a genetic background of 129 / Sv. compared to wild PPAR ⁇ + + individuals of the same litter, PPAR ⁇ + " mice have more pronounced microscopic liver lesions evaluated according to Ishak (10.6 ⁇ 0.22 versus 4 ⁇ 0.8) ( Figure 5a). are characterized by a confluent necrosis in certain places with multiple bridges linking different vascular structures.
- the inflammatory infiltra is moderate, from some to all of the portal areas. This susceptibility to acute hepatitis is associated with a mortality rate dramatically increased (40% compared to 0%) (Figure 5b) only 2 days after the injection of CC1 4 .
- PPAR ⁇ ⁇ _ mice develop microscopic liver lesions much more pronounced 5 days after injection with CC1 (9.2 ⁇ 0.7 versus 4.2 ⁇ 0.13) ( Figure 6a). These lesions are characterized by confluent necrosis in most regions and slight portal inflammatory infiltration. However, these lesions appear to be less severe than for PPAR ⁇ + / " mice. This increase in hepatic lesions is also associated with a higher mortality rate (50% versus 0%) ( Figure 6b). 9. Disturbed expressions of PPAR ⁇ mRNA in HepG2 cells transfected by the core.
- the average inhibition rates of the expression of PPAR ⁇ is 90% for the clone N4 (FIG. 7a) and 23% for the clone N3 (FIG. 7b) compared with the corresponding control SWX cells.
- the inventors characterized the development of acute hepatitis in Balb / c mice subjected to treatment with CC1 4 whereas the control mice killed three days after the administration of mineral oil did not show microscopic lesions in the liver.
- the inventors evaluated the activation of PPAR ⁇ on hepatitis induced by CC1 4 using pioglitazone (50 ⁇ g / kg / day) as a preventive measure. Compared to mice without a preventive diet, the mortality rate linked to hepatitis is reduced (40% compared to 0%) in animals which received pioglitazone three days after treatment with CC1 4 .
