9 ème symposium national du réseau Inserm de Recherche sur la Douleur Bordeaux 22-23 mars 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 Treatment only for symptoms No real efficacity • need therapeutic innovation • exploration of associated factors such as hypersensitivity
Introduction Colonic pain 2/3 of cases Colonic hypersensitivity • Exarcerbated response to painful stimulation or not • Peripheral sensitization (target organ)
Introduction Colonic Hypersensitivity Different peripheral sensors Central integration

Introduction Martin, 2009 Mechanosensor in plant genetic equivalent in animal PtaZFP2 EGR-4
Introduction EGR Family: 4 subtypes (EGR-1) Transcription factor/ Early Gene Response Zinc fingers structure/ Same DNA binding sequence : GCC G/TGG GCG Largely expressed in periphery and central nervous system Description in cognitive process
Introduction EGR-4 Only two major studies Surexpression in somatosensory cortex after mechanical stimulation. Implication in pro-inflammatory cytokines production in T-cells. PCR EGR-4 (Mack et al., 1995).
Aim of the Study Involvement of EGR-4 transcription factor in visceral mechanosensation?
Material and methods syringe and rectal probe • C57Bl6J Mice, 6-8 weeks old. • Colorectal distension with100 µL (water) during10 seconds. Viscero-motor response 20µl 40µl 80µl 100µl 60µl
Materials and methods • samples at different time point after distension. • Colon
Materials and methods • samples at different time point after distension. • Colon • DRG visceral (T10-13, L6 & S1)
Materials and methods • samples at different time point after distension. • Colon • DRG visceral (T10-13, L6 & S1) • Spinal cord
Expression of EGR-4 Euthanasia distension 10 min 15 min 30 min 45 min 1h 1h30 2h 5 min 0
Expression of EGR-4 Euthanasia distension 10 min 15 min 30 min 45 min 1h 1h30 2h 5 min 0 ? Expression in colon, DRG and spinal cord Western Blot
Expression of EGR-4 in colon Expression of EGR-4 * p>0.05 *** p > 0.001 N = 6 N = 5 N = 5 N =6 Increase of total form of EGR-4 30 minutes after distension
Expression of EGR-4 in DRG T11-13, L6 & S1 Expression of EGR-4 * p<0.05 N = 5 N = 3 N = 4 Increase of total form of EGR-4 45 minutes after distension
Expression of EGR-4 in spinal cord Expression of EGR-4 *** p < 0.001 N = 4 N = 6 N =3 N = 4 Increase of total form of EGR-4 45 minutes after distension
Conclusion • Development new tools (PCR, WB, HIC) distension 30 min 45 min 0 15 min Short Time : EGR-4 Colon, DRG & spinal cord
Perspectives Future studies • Long time expression (WB) • mRNA expression studies (qPCR) • Identification of target genes (micro-array) • Female • Different models of colonic Hypersensitivity post-infectious neo natal stress
