Le profilage des fausses pièces d'identité se positionne dans une nouvelle vision axée sur le renseignement criminel du policing et de l'exploitation des traces matérielles récoltées par les polices lors d'infractions. Cette méthode moderne a pour objectif de générer des renseignements d'ordres stratégique et opérationnel qui permettront de mieux cerner et lutter contre la fraude documentaire, une criminalité discrète, méconnue et peu combattue bien qu'elle soit un phénomène grave. En effet, les faux documents d'identité créent une faille dans la sécurité, déstabilisent le système judiciaire et les administrations, et causent des dommages importants à l'économie.Dans la démarche de profilage, les caractéristiques matérielles de chaque fausse pièce d'identité - telles que les modes d'impressions, la façon dont réagit le document sous rayons ultraviolets, ou les polices de caractère - sont considérées comme la « signature » du faussaire et sont ainsi utilisées pour établir des relations entre des faux documents d'identité fabriqués par un même faussaire ou un même atelier de faux. Ces relations aident à comprendre la structure et la dynamique du trafic des faux documents et permettent de détecter des interactions criminelles dans le cadre d'enquêtes.Un système informatisé de profilage réunissant à l'heure actuelle plus de 200 fausses pièces d'identité saisies par les polices de neuf cantons suisses a été mis en place. Les analyses effectuées à partir de ce système font apparaître la fraude documentaire comme une criminalité structurée et interrégionale. Les analyses menées suggèrent également des pistes de développement des approches préventives et répressives pour lutter contre le phénomène des fausses pièces d'identité. Ces pistes concernent aussi bien les polices et les administrations que les entreprises privées telles que les banques, les fabricants de documents d'identité, les aéroports et compagnies aériennes, ou encore les agences de location de véhicules.

Epigenetic post-transcriptional modifications of histone tails are thought to help in coordinating gene expression during development. An epigenetic signature is set in pluripotent cells and interpreted later at the onset of differentiation. In pluripotent cells, epigenetic marks normally associated with active genes (H3K4me3) and with silent genes (H3K27me3) atypically co-occupy chromatin regions surrounding the promoters of important developmental genes. However, it is unclear how these epigenetic marks are recognized when cell differentiation starts and what precise role they play. Here, we report the essential role of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β (PPARβ, NR1C2) in Xenopus laevis early development. By combining loss-of-function approaches, large throughput transcript expression analysis by the mean of RNA-seq and intensive chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments, we unveil an important cooperation between epigenetic marks and PPARβ. During Xenopus laevis gastrulation PPARβ recognizes H3K27me3 marks that have been deposited earlier at the pluripotent stage to activate early differentiation genes. Thus, PPARβis the first identified transcription factor that interprets an epigenetic signature of pluripotency, in vivo, during embryonic development. This work paves the way for a better mechanistic understanding of how the activation of hundreds of genes is coordinated during early development.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) act as metabolic sensors and central regulators of fat and glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, PPARγ has been implicated as major catabolic regulator of bone mass in mice and humans. However, a potential involvement of other PPAR subtypes in the regulation of bone homeostasis has remained elusive. Here we report a previously unrecognized role of PPARβ/δ as a key regulator of bone turnover and the crosstalk between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In contrast to activation of PPARγ, activation of PPARβ/δ amplified Wnt-dependent and β-catenin-dependent signaling and gene expression in osteoblasts, resulting in increased expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and attenuation of osteoblast-mediated osteoclastogenesis. Accordingly, PPARβ/δ-deficient mice had lower Wnt signaling activity, lower serum concentrations of OPG, higher numbers of osteoclasts and osteopenia. Pharmacological activation of PPARβ/δ in a mouse model of postmenopausal osteoporosis led to normalization of the altered ratio of tumor necrosis factor superfamily, member 11 (RANKL, also called TNFSF11) to OPG, a rebalancing of bone turnover and the restoration of normal bone density. Our findings identify PPARβ/δ as a promising target for an alternative approach in the treatment of osteoporosis and related diseases.

Clinical use of antibiotics is based on their capacity to inhibit bacterial growth via bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal effects. In this article, we show that the aminoglycoside antibiotic neomycin, the cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic polymyxin B, and the cyclic peptide antibiotics gramicidin and tyrothricin can induce IL-1β secretion in bone marrow dendritic cells and macrophages. LPS priming was required to trigger the transcription and translation of pro-IL-1β but was independent of TNFR or IL-1R signaling. All four antibiotics required the NLRP3 inflammasome, the adaptor ASC, and caspase-1 activation to secrete IL-1β, a process that depended on potassium efflux but was independent of P2X7 receptor. All four antibiotics induced neutrophil influx into the peritoneal cavity of mice, which required NLRP3 only in the case of polymyxin B. Together, certain antibiotics have the potential to directly activate innate immunity of the host.
