    摘要: The application relates to the human endogenous retroviral protein. This human endogenous retroviral protein is herein generally referred to as HEMO. The application relates more particularly to shed forms of the HEMO protein, more particularly to those shed forms, which are released in the circulating blood. The application also relates to products deriving from the shed forms of HEMO, such as antibodies, nucleic acid vectors and engineered cells, as well as to the medical or biotechnological applications of these shed forms or derived products, notably in the fields of placental development, fetus protection, cancer treatment and stem cell production.

    摘要: Although tumor-associated macrophages have been extensively studied in the control of response to radiotherapy, the molecular mechanisms involved in the ionizing radiation-mediated activation of macrophages remain elusive. Here the present inventors show that ionizing radiation induces the expression of interferon-regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) promoting thus macrophage activation toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype. They reveal that the activation of the Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase is required for ionizing radiation-elicited macrophage activation, but also for macrophage reprogramming after treatments with γ-interferon, lipopolysaccharide or chemotherapeutic agent (such as cis-platin), underscoring the fact that the kinase ATM plays a central role during macrophage phenotypic switching toward a proinflammatory phenotype. They further demonstrate that NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2)-dependent ROS production is upstream to ATM activation and is essential during this process. They also report that hypoxic conditions and the inhibition of any component of this signaling pathway (NOX2, ROS and ATM) impairs pro-inflammatory activation of macrophages and predicts a poor tumor response to preoperative radiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. Altogether, these results identify a novel signaling pathway involved in macrophage activation that may enhance effectiveness of radiotherapy through the re-programming of tumor infiltrating macrophages.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of predicting assessing or monitoring the sensitivity of a subject having a cancer to an immunotherapy, and to corresponding kits. The method of predicting, assessing or monitoring the sensitivity of a subject having a tumor to an immunotherapy typically comprises a step a) of determining, in a biological sample from said subject, the presence, absence or expression level of at least one biomarker, for example at least two biomarkers, and when the expression level is determined a step b) of comparing said expression level to reference expression level(s) or to reference expression ratio(s), thereby predicting, assessing or monitoring whether the subject having a tumor is responsive or resistant to the proposed immunotherapy.
