摘要:
The invention relates to a method implemented by computer means for training a decision system for segmenting medical images (6) from a training set of annotated medical images, said segments belonging to at least one class, each annotation (LB) of said medical images including quantitative information about a number of pixels of the image (6) that belongs to each of said classes, said method using weakly-supervised algorithm based on a percentage of the pixels of said image belonging to a concerned class.

The inventors herein show that purinergic receptors regulate the conversion of macrophage pro-inflammatory reprogramming into anti-inflammatory phenotype in patients suffering from COVID-19 disease. Moreover, they show that P2Y receptor agonists repress NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent IL-1b secretion, but also impair the replication and the cytopathogenic effects of SARS-CoV-2. These results therefore suggest that some purinergic receptors agonists can treat acute lung injury and respiratory disease that are associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, their results show that antagonists of the purinergic receptors P2X impair the replication of said virus. The present invention therefore proposes to use purinergic receptors modulators and NLR3-P2Y2R immune checkpoint modulators to treat patients suffering from a virus-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The present invention relates to the combined use of a neuropilin-1 (Nrp-1) neutralizing agent and of a programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) neutralizing agent for killing cancer cells, typically for treating cancer, as well as to corresponding pharmaceutical compositions and kits, and to corresponding diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The invention further relates to in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo methods for detecting CD8+ TILs capable of recognizing cancer cells, for predicting the response of a subject to anti-PD-1 treatment of cancer, and for identifying a subject who respond therapeutically to a treatment of cancer with an antibody combination therapy comprising anti-Nrp-1 and anti-PD-1 antibodies.

The invention relates to the prognosis and treatment of colon cancer. In particular, the present invention concerns the role of intestinal microbiota in the anticancer immune response elicited by ileal enterocytes succumbing to apoptosis, and provides immunogenic compositions for treating colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as signatures for prognosing CRC evolution.

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.
摘要:
The invention aims at a method implemented by computer means (CC) for assessing an efficiency of a cure of a cancer disease based on at least one antibody against protein PD-1 and/or its ligand PD-L1, wherein the method comprises the steps: - Obtaining data of at least one microscope (MIC) image (IM DAT) of cells of a tumor material (TAM) treated for performing a test to assess an interaction between protein PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 in at least some of said cells, - Counting in said image a number of spots related to said interactions between PD-1 and PD-L1, and a number of nuclei in said image, and - Estimating a ratio between said number of spots and said number of nuclei with a view to assess an efficiency of a cure based on at least one antibody against protein PD-1 and/or its ligand PD-L1 on a cancer disease from which said tumor material results.
