Réunion annuelle du Groupe Français de Neuro-Gastroenterologie 20-21 juin 2013 From the Poplar mecano-perception to visceral sensitivity in mice: role of ubiquitous transcription factor EGR-4? Alison Accarie / 2ème année de thèse Directeur de thèse : Pr. Michel Dapoigny Directeurs du laboratoire : Pr. Alain Eschalier et Pr. Denis Ardid UMR/INSERM 1107 Neuro Dol, Pharmacologie Fondamentale et Clinique de la douleur
INTRODUCTION U1107 / Pharmacologie fondamentale et clinique de la douleur inadequate support of chronic pain Visceral pain Abdominal pain Colonic pain • First cause for gastroenterological consultation • Common symptoms of IBS et IBD (period of remission) IBS : irritable bowel syndrome IBD : intestinal bowel desease
INTRODUCTION Colonic pain 2/3 of cases Colonic hypersensitivity
INTRODUCTION Colonic pain 2/3 of cases Colonic hypersensitivity • Exarcerbated response to painful stimulation or not • Peripheral sensitization (target organ)
INTRODUCTION Peripheral sensor Mechanical sensor Inflammation mediator
INTRODUCTION Identification of a new transcription factor in case of mechanical stimulation in Arabidopsis & Poplar sp. (Equipe MECA, UMR PIAF Clermont-Ferrand) PTaZFP2 Transcription factor Zinc finger Early expression

INTRODUCTION Martin, 2009 Martin, 2010 Mechanosensor in plant genetic equivalent in animal PtaZFP2 EGR-4
INTRODUCTION EGR Family: 4 subtypes (EGR-1) Transcription factor/ EarlyGene Response Zinc fingers structure/ Same DNA bindingsequence : GCC G/TGG GCG EGR-4 • Male unfertility • Inflammatory process in cultured T cell Surexpression in somatosensory cortex after mechanical stimulation.
