Project description:Given a context where patients autonomy respect is important, it is necessary to pay a sustained attention to the patients care and life experiences, as well as the families and relatives of patients with colorectal cancer or patients in remission of colorectal cancer. Thanks to families and relatives data, it will allow to improve the analyses carried out by the "Societal Cancer Observatory" in 2016.

Project description:Self-sufficiency (autonomy) in growth signaling, the earliest recognized hallmark of cancer, is fuelled by the tumor cell’s ability to ‘secrete-and-sense’ growth factors; this translates into cell survival and proliferation that is self-sustained by auto-/paracrine secretion. Using breast cancer cells that are either endowed or inept in growth signaling autonomy, here we reveal how tumor cell autonomy impacts cancer progression. Autonomy is associated with enhanced molecular programs for stemness, immune evasiveness, and epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) across the entire mesenchymal spectrum. Autonomy is both necessary and sufficient for anchorage-independent growth factor-restricted growth, resistance to anti-cancer drugs and metastatic progression. Transcriptomic and proteomic studies show that autonomy is associated with self-sustained EGFR/ERBB signaling, a required signal for re-epithelialization. A gene expression signature was derived (a.k.a., autonomy signature) which revealed that autonomy is induced in circulating tumor cells (CTCs), the precursor tumor cells that re-epithelialize to initiate metastases. Autonomy in CTCs tracks therapeutic response and prognosticates outcome. Autonomy is present during reversible (but not stable) EMT and requires EGFR/ERBB signaling. These data support a role for growth signaling autonomy in the blood-borne dissemination of human breast cancer.

Transcriptomic and proteomic studies show that autonomy is associated with self-sustained EGFR/ErbB signaling. A gene expression signature is derived (a.k.a., autonomy signature) which revealed that autonomy is induced in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and particularly CTC clusters, the latter of which carry higher metastatic potential. Autonomy in CTCs tracks therapeutic response and prognosticates outcome. Autonomy is preserved during reversible (but not stable) EMT. These data support a role for growth signaling autonomy in multiple processes essential for the blood-borne dissemination of human breast cancer.

Project description:The capacity of the brain to elicit sustained remission of hyperglycemia in rodent models of type 2 diabetes (T2D) following intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) is well established. Here, we show that icv FGF1 injection induces signaling by extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family in the hypothalamus, and that this activation persists for at least 24h. Further, we show that in diabetic Lepob/ob mice, this prolonged response is required for the sustained antidiabetic action of FGF1, since it is abolished by sustained (but not acute) pharmacologic blockade of hypothalamic MAPK/ERK signaling. We also demonstrate that FGF1 R50E, a FGF1 mutant that activates FGF receptors but induces only transient hypothalamic MAPK/ERK signaling, elicits transient but not sustained glucose lowering. These data implicate sustained hypothalamic MAPK/ERK signaling in the mechanism underlying diabetes remission induced by icv FGF1.

Project description:Background: Stress exacerbates symptoms of schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which are characterized by impairments in sustained attention. Yet how stress regulates attention remains largely unexplored. Here we investigated whether a 6-day variable stressor (VS) altered sustained attention and the cholinergic attention system in male and female rats. Methods: Sustained attention was tested with the sustained attention task (SAT). Successful performance on SAT relies on the release of acetylcholine (ACh) into the cortex from cholinergic neurons in the nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM). Thus, we evaluated whether VS altered the morphology of these neurons with a novel approach using Cre-dependent virus in genetically modified ChAT::Cre rats, a species used for this manipulation only. Next, electrochemical recordings measured cortical ACh following VS. Finally, we used RNAseq to identify VS-induced transcriptional changes in the NBM. Results: VS impaired attentional performance in SAT and increased the dendritic complexity of NBM cholinergic neurons in both sexes. NBM cholinergic neurons are mainly under inhibitory control, so this morphological change could increase inhibition on these neurons, reducing downstream ACh release to impair attention. Indeed, VS decreased ACh release in the prefrontal cortex of males. Quantification of global transcriptional changes revealed that, although VS induced many sex-specific changes in gene expression, it increased several signaling molecules in both sexes.

Project description:Thyroid autonomy is a frequent cause of thyrotoxicosis in regions with iodine deficiency. Epidemiological data suggest that the prevalence of thyroid autonomy is not only inversely correlated with the ambient iodine supply, but that iodide may also influence the course of pre-existing thyroid autonomy with possibly different effects on thyroid growth and function. Iodine slows TSH effects on thyroid growth stimulation and this effect is more pronounced in thyrocytes with constitutive cAMP activation i.e. in thyroid autonomy. Iodine induced growth alteration in early stage thyroid autonomy is conferred by induction of apoptosis and G2/M arrest. Transcriptome analysis revealed significant modulation of gene networks relevant to cell adhesion, cadherin signalling and ion binding with more pronounced effects in constitutively active FRTL-5 cells compared to normal FRTL-5 cells. The aim was to study iodide-induced changes in global gene expression in an in vitro model of thyroid autonomy. This model makes use of FRTL-5 cells with stable expression of a constitutively activating TSH receptor mutation or wild type TSHR as a control.

Project description:Sustained remission is now an achievable goal in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using modern treat-to-target regimens of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Recent studies have demonstrated that up to half of patients in remission can discontinue DMARDs and maintain drug-free remission (DFR), with consequent benefits of avoidance of drug toxicity and the need for regular and expensive safety monitoring. However, there are currently no reliable biomarkers that can predict DFR prior to withdrawal of DMARDs. Aim: As part of a wider study of DMARD withdrawal (the BioRRA study), we aimed to identify predictors of time-to-flare following DMARD cessation using whole-genome bulk RNA sequencing data from circulating CD4+ T cells.
