Intérêts de recherche

Les peptides constituent une classe de molécules biologiques possédant diverses fonctions. Ainsi, ils peuvent agir comme hormones, facteurs de croissance, agents de signalisation cellulaire, antibiotiques, neurotransmetteurs, neuromodulateurs, etc. Ce spectre d’activités de même que la spécificité relative des peptides et leur puissance d’action en font des constituants biologiques dont l’élucidation des rôles constitue un objectif majeur dans le domaine biomédical. Ainsi, la compréhension de leur mode d’action à l’échelle moléculaire représente une étape essentielle à l’identification de sondes biologiques du fonctionnement et du développement des organismes, en plus de faciliter la mise au point de dérivés potentiellement utiles comme outils pharmacologiques ou agents thérapeutiques.

Nos travaux ciblent certaines familles de peptides caractérisées entre autres par le rôle unique qu’elles jouent au niveau des systèmes nerveux, endocrinien et cardiovasculaire. Nous souhaitons ainsi mieux définir les fonctions biologiques associées à certaines familles de peptides dans des états physiologiques normaux et pathologiques. De plus, les composés polypeptidiques étudiés servent de modèles pour l’établissement de caractéristiques structurales et biologiques de base. Ensuite, des dérivés synthétiques comportant des modifications chimiques sont alors assemblés puis évalués biologiquement afin d’explorer plus à fond certains paramètres pharmacologiques des molécules.

Le Pr Alain Fournier a successivement obtenu à l’Université de Sherbrooke un baccalauréat en chimie-biochimie, une maîtrise en pharmacologie et un doctorat en chimie bioorganique. Après des études postdoctorales au Health Sciences Centre de l’Université de Calgary, puis au Roche Research Centre de Nutley, New Jersey, il est entré en fonction en 1987 à titre de professeur à l’INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier. Il a été successivement Chercheur-boursier Junior et Senior du Fonds de la recherche en santé du Québec, ainsi que Chercheur National de ce même organisme. Il a aussi été pendant plusieurs années professeur associé au Département de Pharmacologie de l’Université de Montréal ainsi qu’au Département de Pharmacologie de l’Université de Sherbrooke. De février 2006 à janvier 2008, il a été

Directeur intérimaire du centre INRS – Institut Armand-Frappier, pour par la suite devenir le directeur en titre jusqu’en septembre 2010. Après son mandat de directeur de centre, il est devenu Directeur scientifique de l’INRS. Il a occupé ce poste jusqu’en mars 2013. Il est ensuite redevenu professeur-chercheur et il a poursuivi ses activités de recherche en chimie médicinale et pharmacologie jusqu’en décembre 2016, moment où il a pris sa retraite et est devenu professeur honoraire de l’INRS.

Avec sa formation pluridisciplinaire en chimie, pharmacologie et biochimie, le Pr Fournier a oeuvré dans des champs de recherche exigeant la mise au point de méthodes de synthèse d’hormones polypeptidiques, leur évaluation structurale au moyen d’estimations théoriques et de techniques spectroscopiques, ainsi que la mesure de leurs propriétés pharmacologiques et biochimiques.

Son parcours lui a permis de recevoir divers prix et honneurs dont le Prix Adrien-Pouliot de l’ACFAS (2012) et le Prix Planète INRS (2015).

Le professeur Fournier a été codirecteur du Laboratoire international associé (LIA) Samuel de Champlain, mis sur pied dans le cadre d’un LIA supporté par l’Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (INSERM) et de l’Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS). Les travaux ont focalisé  sur la pharmacologie et la biochimie des neuropeptides. Le codirecteur du côté français était le professeur Hubert Vaudry de l’Université de Rouen.

2.  Labelled adrenomedullin derivatives and their use for imaging and therapy

By: Dupuis, Jocelyn; Fournier, Alain

Assignee: Institut de Cardiologie de Montreal, Can.

The present invention relates to an adrenomedullin derivative including an adrenomedullin peptide chelated with at least one active agent.  Examples of active agents include a paramagnetic element, a radioactive element and a fibrinolytic agent, among others.  Paramagnetic agents have a distribution that is relatively easily shown through Magnetic Resonnance Imaging (MRI)​.  Radioactive agents have applications in imaging and delivery of radiations, depending on the specific element included in the active agent.  Delivery of fibrinolytic agents mainly to a specific organ, such as for example to the lungs, allows to substantially improve the specificity and efficacy of thrombolytic therapy by allowing local delivery of the fibrinolytic agent, thereby reducing the risks of major bleeding in the therapy of the organ.  If the organ is the lungs, a non-​limiting example of pathol. treatable with the fibrinolytic is pulmonary embolus.

Développement de dérivés neuroprotecteurs du pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP)

Le neuropeptide PACAP exerce une forte activité protectrice contre la neurodégénérescence dans certains modèles physiopathologiques d’atteintes du cerveau tels l’AVC et le Parkinson. Plus particulièrement, lorsqu’injecté après un choc ischémique, le PACAP peut stopper l’expansion de la zone infarcie dans les régions cérébrales lésées. Toutefois, à cause de sa nature peptidique, cette substance possède des propriétés pharmacocinétiques qui limitent son utilisation comme agent thérapeutique. Donc, dans le cadre de nos études, en collaboration avec des chercheurs de l’Université de Rouen (FR), des analogues du PACAP ont été synthétisés dans le but de leur procurer une stabilité métabolique accrue et d’améliorer leur sélectivité d’action.

Développement de dérivés de l’adrénomédulline (AM) humaine capables de chélater un radioisotope et de servir en imagerie pulmonaire

La médecine nucléaire utilise actuellement les macroaggrégats d’albumine (MAA) comme traceurs de la circulation dans les poumons. Malheureusement, la taille de ces composés ne permet pas la visualisation de la microcirculation pulmonaire ce qui nuit au diagnostic précoce. En collaboration avec une équipe de recherche de l’Institut de cardiologie de Montréal, nous avons montré que l’adrénomédulline (AM), un peptide de 52 acides aminés, est capable de chélater certains radioisotopes et que le complexe ainsi formé possède une affinité très significative pour les poumons. Bien que ce nouvel outil d’imagerie offrait l’avantage d’être plus petit que les MAA, il n’était pas encore optimal. De plus, la longueur du peptide constituait un défi sérieux pour une production facile et un usage clinique courant. Depuis, nous avons réussi à produire un dérivé, le PulmoBind, qui a traversé les étapes des phases cliniques I et II.


Caractérisation structurale et pharmacologique du peptide urotensine II et de son récepteur UT

L’urotensine II (UII) est un peptide présent dans divers systèmes biologiques dont les systèmes nerveux et cardiovasculaires. Au niveau de ce dernier, il a été montré que certains tissus étaient très sensibles à UII puisque des contractions des muscles lisses vasculaires peuvent être induites à des concentrations de ligand de l’ordre du picomolaire. Cet effet nous a amenés à explorer à l’échelle moléculaire le mode d’interaction du peptide UII avec son récepteur membranaire appelé UT.

Identification et caractérisation de peptides bioactifs isolés à partir du venin d’un cobra d’Asie du Sud-Est

Dans le cadre d’une collaboration avec des partenaires du Vietnam, nous avons évalué les propriétés biologiques de dérivés peptidiques isolés du venin d’un cobra retrouvé en Asie du Sud-Est. Le venin est un cocktail complexe de nombreuses molécules aux activités diverses au niveau des systèmes physiologiques. Nos travaux ont permis l’isolation et la caratérisation d’un peptide capable d’induire la sécrétion d’insuline. De plus, au moyen d’études structurales, la molécule a été amélioriée et elle constitue un canevas prometteur pour la mise au point d’un nouvel agent thérapeutique.
