[The place of radiation therapy following radical prostatectomy in 2024]. / La place de la radiothérapie après une prostatectomie dans les cancers de la prostate en 2024.

Radiation therapy after prostatectomy for a prostate cancer is a recommended treatment in case of biochemical relapse (rising PSA) following surgery. Controversies regarding its optimal use, delivery, and toxicities are often discussed, not only within scientific congresses but also during multidisciplinary oncological boards. This article aims at making an assessment of up-to-date knowledge and recommendations to guide decision making regarding the treatments of patients with prostate cancer.

La radiothérapie après prostatectomie pour un cancer de prostate est un traitement recommandé en cas de «récidive biochimique¼ (ré-élévation du PSA) après l'opération. Des controverses quant à son utilisation optimale, sa réalisation, et ses toxicités font régulièrement l'objet de discussio, que ce soit au sein des sociétés scientifiques ou lors des concertations oncologiques multidisciplinaires. Cet article a pour but de faire l'état des lieux des connaissances actuelles et des recommandations existantes afin de guider nos réflexions et prises de décision concernant les traitements des patients présentant un cancer de la prostate.

[Anal canal cancer : epidemiology, work-up, treatment and perspective]. / Le cancer du canal anal : épidémiologie, bilan, traitement et futur.

Although rare, around 2 % of digestive tumours, anal canal tumours remain a pathology that should not be neglected. These are frequently underdiagnosed due to the affected region and the symptoms that can be confused with more common and benign pathologies such as haemorrhoids or anal fissures. The treatment of these tumours is mainly based on radio-chemotherapy to avoid heavy surgical treatment which remains the salvage option. This article aims to review the epidemiology, diagnosis, management, monitoring and future developments for these cancers.

Bien que rares (environ 2 % des tumeurs digestives), les tumeurs du canal anal restent une pathologie à ne pas négliger. Elles sont souvent sous-diagnostiquées en raison de la région touchée et de la symptomatologie non spécifique, et confondues avec des pathologies plus fréquentes et bénignes comme des hémorroïdes ou des fissures anales. Le traitement de ces tumeurs repose principalement sur la radio-chimiothérapie, afin d'éviter une prise en charge chirurgicale lourde qui reste l'option de sauvetage. Cet article a pour but de passer en revue l'épidémiologie, le diagnostic, la prise en charge, le suivi et les futurs développements pour ces cancers.

Germline HPF1 retrogene insertion in RB1 gene involved in cancer predisposition.

About half of the human genome is composed of repeated sequences derived from mobile elements, mainly retrotransposons, generally without pathogenic effect. Familial forms of retinoblastoma are caused by germline pathogenic variants in RB1 gene. Here, we describe a family with retinoblastoma affecting a father and his son. No pathogenic variant was identified after DNA analysis of RB1 gene coding sequence and exon-intron junctions. However, RB1 mRNA analysis showed a chimeric transcript with insertion of 114 nucleotides from HPF1 gene inside RB1 gene. This chimeric transcript led to an insertion of 38 amino acids in functional domain of retinoblastoma protein. Subsequent DNA analysis in RB1 intron 17 revealed the presence of a full-length HPF1 retrogene insertion in opposite orientation. Functional assay shows that this insertion has a deleterious impact on retinoblastoma protein function. This is the first report of a full-length retrogene insertion involved in human Mendelian disease leading to a chimeric transcript and a non-functional chimeric protein. Some retrogene insertions may be missed by standard diagnostic genetic testing, so contribution of retrogene insertions to human disease may be underestimated. The increasing use of whole genome sequencing in diagnostic settings will help to get a more comprehensive view of retrogenes.

Effects of the depletion of neural progenitors by focal X-ray irradiation on song production and perception in canaries.

The song control nucleus HVC of songbirds has emerged as a widespread model system to study adult neurogenesis and the factors that modulate the incorporation of new neurons, including seasonal state, sex differences or sex steroid hormone concentrations. However, the specific function of these new neurons born in adulthood remains poorly understood. We implemented a new procedure based on focal X-ray irradiation to deplete neural progenitors in the ventricular zone adjacent to HVC and study the functional consequences. A 23 Gy dose depleted by more than 50 percent the incorporation of BrdU in neural progenitors, a depletion that was confirmed by a significant decrease in doublecortin positive neurons. This depletion of neurogenesis significantly increased the variability of testosterone-induced songs in females and decreased their bandwidth. Expression of the immediate early gene ZENK in secondary auditory areas of the telencephalon that respond to song was also inhibited. These data provide evidence that new neurons in HVC play a role in both song production and perception and that X-ray focal irradiation represents an excellent tool to advance our understanding of adult neurogenesis.

WWOX binds MERIT40 and modulates its function in homologous recombination, implications in breast cancer.

The tumor suppressor gene WWOX is localized in an unstable chromosomal region and its expression is decreased or absent in several types of cancer. A low expression of WWOX is associated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer (BC). It has recently been shown that WWOX contributes to genome stability through its role in the DNA damage response (DDR). In breast cancer cells, WWOX inhibits homologous recombination (HR), and thus promotes the repair of DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). The fine-tuning modulation of HR activity is crucial. Its under or overstimulation inducing genome alterations that can induce cancer. MERIT40 is a positive regulator of the DDR. This protein is indispensable for the function of the multi-protein complex BRCA1-A, which suppresses excessive HR activity. MERIT40 also recruits Tankyrase, a positive regulator of HR, to the DSBs to stimulate DNA repair. Here, we identified MERIT40 as a new molecular partner of WWOX. We demonstrated that WWOX inhibited excessive HR activity induced by overexpression of MERIT40. We showed that WWOX impaired the MERIT40-Tankyrase interaction preventing the role of the complex on DSBs. Furthermore, we found that MERIT40 is overexpressed in BC and that this overexpression is associated to a poor prognosis. These results strongly suggest that WWOX, through its interaction with MERIT40, prevents the deleterious impact of excessive HR on BC development by inhibiting MERIT40-Tankyrase association. This inhibitory effect of WWOX would oppose MERIT40-dependent BC development.

Dampening type 2 properties of group 2 innate lymphoid cells by a gammaherpesvirus infection reprograms alveolar macrophages.

Immunological dysregulation in asthma is associated with changes in exposure to microorganisms early in life. Gammaherpesviruses (γHVs), such as Epstein-Barr virus, are widespread human viruses that establish lifelong infection and profoundly shape host immunity. Using murid herpesvirus 4 (MuHV-4), a mouse γHV, we show that after infection, lung-resident and recruited group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) exhibit a reduced ability to expand and produce type 2 cytokines in response to house dust mites, thereby contributing to protection against asthma. In contrast, MuHV-4 infection triggers GM-CSF production by those lung ILC2s, which orders the differentiation of monocytes (Mos) into alveolar macrophages (AMs) without promoting their type 2 functions. In the context of γHV infection, ILC2s are therefore essential cells within the pulmonary niche that imprint the tissue-specific identity of Mo-derived AMs and shape their function well beyond the initial acute infection.

Radiotherapy Advances in Renal Disease-Focus on Renal Ischemic Preconditioning.

Ionizing irradiation is widely applied as a fundamental therapeutic treatment in several diseases. Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a global public health problem with major morbidity and mortality. Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is the main cause of AKI. I/R injury occurs when blood flow to the kidney is transiently interrupted and then restored. Such an ischemic insult significantly impairs renal function in the short and long terms. Renal ischemic preconditioning (IPC) corresponds to the maneuvers intended to prevent or attenuate the ischemic damage. In murine models, irradiation-induced preconditioning (IP) renders the renal parenchyma resistant to subsequent damage by activating defense pathways involved in oxidative stress, angiogenesis, and inflammation. Before envisioning translational applications in patients, safe irradiation modalities, including timing, dosage, and fractionation, need to be defined.

Kidney-targeted irradiation triggers renal ischemic preconditioning in mice.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) causes acute kidney injury (AKI). Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) attenuates I/R-associated AKI. Whole body irradiation induces renal IPC in mice. Still, the mechanisms remain largely unknown. Furthermore, the impact of kidney-centered irradiation on renal resistance against I/R has not been studied. Renal irradiation (8.5 Gy) was done in male 8- to 12-wk-old C57bl/6 mice using a small animal radiation therapy device. Left renal I/R was performed by clamping the renal pedicles for 30 min, with simultaneous right nephrectomy, at 7, 14, and 28 days postirradiation. The renal reperfusion lasted 48 h. Following I/R, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) levels were lower in preirradiated mice compared with controls; so was the histological Jablonski score of AKI. The metabolomics signature of renal I/R was attenuated in preirradiated mice. The numbers of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-, cluster of differentiation molecule 11b (CD11b)-, and cell surface glycoprotein F4/80-positive cells in the renal parenchyma post-I/R were reduced in preirradiated versus control groups. Such IPC was significantly observed as early as day 14 postirradiation. RNA sequencing showed an upregulation of angiogenesis- and stress response-related signaling pathways in irradiated nonischemic kidneys on day 28. Qualitative RT-PCR confirmed the increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5), heme oxygenase-1 (HO1), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM1), NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), and heat shock proteins 70 and 27 (HSP70 and HSP27, respectively) in irradiated kidneys compared with controls. In addition, irradiated kidneys showed an increased CD31-positive vascular area compared with controls. A 14-day gavage of irradiated mice with the antiangiogenic drug sunitinib before I/R abrogated the irradiation-induced IPC at both functional and structural levels. Our observations suggest that kidney-centered irradiation activates proangiogenic pathways and induces IPC, with preserved renal function and attenuated inflammation post-I/R.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study based on a mouse model of renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) aimed to 1) test whether and how irradiation strictly centered on the kidney protects against the I/R injury and 2) determine the shortest efficient delay of kidney irradiation to achieve such nephroprotection. Kidney irradiation increased the vascular surface in the renal parenchyma and conferred resistance against renal I/R damage, which highlights novel putative strategies in the field of ischemic acute kidney injury.

Photoperiodic control of singing behavior and reproductive physiology in male Fife fancy canaries.

Temperate-zone birds display marked seasonal changes in reproductive behaviors and the underlying hormonal and neural mechanisms. These changes were extensively studied in canaries (Serinus canaria) but differ between strains. Fife fancy male canaries change their reproductive physiology in response to variations in day length but it remains unclear whether they become photorefractory (PR) when exposed to long days and what the consequences are for gonadal activity, singing behavior and the associated neural plasticity. Photosensitive (PS) male birds that had become reproductively competent (high song output, large testes) after being maintained on short days (SD, 8 L:16D) for 6 months were divided into two groups: control birds remained on SD (SD-PS group) and experimental birds were switched to long days (16 L:8D) and progressively developed photorefractoriness (LD-PR group). During the following 12 weeks, singing behavior (quantitatively analyzed for 3 × 2 hours every week) and gonadal size (repeatedly measured by CT X-ray scans) remained similar in both groups but there was an increase in plasma testosterone and trill numbers in the LD-PR group. Day length was then decreased back to 8 L:16D for LD-PR birds, which immediately induced a cessation of song, a decrease in plasma testosterone concentration, in the volume of song control nuclei (HVC, RA and Area X), in HVC neurogenesis and in aromatase expression in the medial preoptic area. These data demonstrate that Fife fancy canaries readily respond to changes in photoperiod and display a pattern of photorefractoriness following exposure to long days that is associated with marked changes in brain and behavior.

Differential Biological Effects of Dietary Lipids and Irradiation on the Aorta, Aortic Valve, and the Mitral Valve.

Aims: Dietary cholesterol and palmitic acid are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) affecting the arteries and the heart valves. The ionizing radiation that is frequently used as an anticancer treatment promotes CVD. The specific pathophysiology of these distinct disease manifestations is poorly understood. We, therefore, studied the biological effects of these dietary lipids and their cardiac irradiation on the arteries and the heart valves in the rabbit models of CVD. Methods and Results: Cholesterol-enriched diet led to the thickening of the aortic wall and the aortic valve leaflets, immune cell infiltration in the aorta, mitral and aortic valves, as well as aortic valve calcification. Numerous cells expressing α-smooth muscle actin were detected in both the mitral and aortic valves. Lard-enriched diet induced massive aorta and aortic valve calcification, with no detectable immune cell infiltration. The addition of cardiac irradiation to the cholesterol diet yielded more calcification and more immune cell infiltrates in the atheroma and the aortic valve than cholesterol alone. RNA sequencing (RNAseq) analyses of aorta and heart valves revealed that a cholesterol-enriched diet mainly triggered inflammation-related biological processes in the aorta, aortic and mitral valves, which was further enhanced by cardiac irradiation. Lard-enriched diet rather affected calcification- and muscle-related processes in the aorta and aortic valve, respectively. Neutrophil count and systemic levels of platelet factor 4 and ent-8-iso-15(S)-PGF2α were identified as early biomarkers of cholesterol-induced tissue alterations, while cardiac irradiation resulted in elevated levels of circulating nucleosomes. Conclusion: Dietary cholesterol, palmitic acid, and cardiac irradiation combined with a cholesterol-rich diet led to the development of distinct vascular and valvular lesions and changes in the circulating biomarkers. Hence, our study highlights unprecedented specificities related to common risk factors that underlie CVD.

Molecular Functions of WWOX Potentially Involved in Cancer Development.

The WW domain-containing oxidoreductase gene (WWOX) was cloned 21 years ago as a putative tumor suppressor gene mapping to chromosomal fragile site FRA16D. The localization of WWOX in a chromosomal region frequently altered in human cancers has initiated multiple current studies to establish its role in this disease. All of this work suggests that WWOX, due to its ability to interact with a large number of partners, exerts its tumor suppressive activity through a wide variety of molecular actions that are mostly cell specific.

Repeated assessment of changes in testes size in canaries by X-ray computer tomography.

Numerous studies have evaluated changes in time of testicular development in birds by exploratory laparotomy or post-mortem autopsy. The invasive nature of these approaches has obviously limited the frequency at which these measures can be collected. We demonstrate here that accurate assessment of gonadal size can be reliably and repeatedly obtained by computer-assisted X-ray tomography (CT scans). This approach provides images of the testes in the three orthogonal planes that allow measuring either the largest diameter or even the volume of the testes, providing results that match those obtained by surgical approaches.

Tumor Microenvironment Modifications Recorded With IVIM Perfusion Analysis and DCE-MRI After Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy: A Preclinical Study.

PURPOSE: Neoadjuvant radiotherapy (NeoRT) improves tumor local control and facilitates tumor resection in many cancers. Some clinical studies demonstrated that both timing of surgery and RT schedule influence tumor dissemination, and subsequently patient overall survival. Previously, we developed a pre-clinical model demonstrating the impact of NeoRT schedule and timing of surgery on metastatic spreading. We report on the impact of NeoRT on tumor microenvironment by MRI. METHODS: According to our NeoRT model, MDA-MB 231 cells were implanted in the flank of SCID mice. Tumors were locally irradiated (PXI X-Rad SmART) with 2x5Gy and then surgically removed at different time points after RT. Diffusion-weighted (DW) and Dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) MRI images were acquired before RT and every 2 days between RT and surgery. IntraVoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) analysis was used to obtain information on intravascular diffusion, related to perfusion (F: perfusion factor) and subsequently tumor vessels perfusion. For DCE-MRI, we performed semi-quantitative analyses. RESULTS: With this experimental model, a significant and transient increase of the perfusion factor F [50% of the basal value (n=16, p<0.005)] was observed on day 6 after irradiation as well as a significant increase of the WashinSlope with DCE-MRI at day 6 (n=13, p<0.05). Using immunohistochemistry, a significant increase of perfused vessels was highlighted, corresponding to the increase of perfusion in MRI at this same time point. Moreover, Tumor surgical resection during this peak of vascularization results in an increase of metastasis burden (n=10, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Significant differences in perfusion-related parameters (F and WashinSlope) were observed on day 6 in a neoadjuvant radiotherapy model using SCID mice. These modifications are correlated with an increase of perfused vessels in histological analysis and also with an increase of metastasis spreading after the surgical procedure. This experimental observation could potentially result in a way to personalize treatment, by modulating the time of surgery guided on MRI functional data, especially tumor perfusion.

HRness in Breast and Ovarian Cancers.

Ovarian and breast cancers are currently defined by the main pathways involved in the tumorigenesis. The majority are carcinomas, originating from epithelial cells that are in constant division and subjected to cyclical variations of the estrogen stimulus during the female hormonal cycle, therefore being vulnerable to DNA damage. A portion of breast and ovarian carcinomas arises in the context of DNA repair defects, in which genetic instability is the backdrop for cancer initiation and progression. For these tumors, DNA repair deficiency is now increasingly recognized as a target for therapeutics. In hereditary breast/ovarian cancers (HBOC), tumors with BRCA1/2 mutations present an impairment of DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR). For many years, BRCA1/2 mutations were only screened on germline DNA, but now they are also searched at the tumor level to personalize treatment. The reason of the inactivation of this pathway remains uncertain for most cases, even in the presence of a HR-deficient signature. Evidence indicates that identifying the mechanism of HR inactivation should improve both genetic counseling and therapeutic response, since they can be useful as new biomarkers of response.

The high protein expression of FOXO3, but not that of FOXO1, is associated with markers of good prognosis.

To better define the role of FOXO1 and FOXO3 transcriptional factors in breast carcinogenesis, we performed a comparative study of their expression at both the RNA and protein levels in a series of human breast tumors. We used qRT-PCR assay to quantify mRNA expression and Reverse Phase Protein Arrays (RPPA) to quantify protein expression in 218 breast tumors from patients with known clinical/pathological status and outcome. Weak correlations were observed between mRNA and protein expressions for both FOXO1 and FOXO3 genes. High expression of FOXO3 protein, but not FOXO1 protein, was a good prognostic marker, negatively correlated with KI67 and markers of activity of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR oncogenic pathway, and positively correlated with p53, a marker of apoptosis. Moreover, FOXO3 protein expression, but not FOXO1 protein expression, was also negatively correlated with various proteins involved in different DNA repair mechanisms. FOXO3 protein, but not FOXO1 protein, appears to be a tumor suppressor that inhibits breast cancer by altering DNA damage response (DDR), thereby inducing p53-dependent apoptosis. This antitumor effect appears to be suppressed by excessive activity of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. High FOXO3 protein expression could be a biomarker of deficient DDR in breast tumors.

PLEKHS1: A new molecular marker predicting risk of progression of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Promoter mutations of pleckstrin homology domain-containing S1 (PLEKHS1) are frequent in several cancer types. To evaluate the DNA mutations, the mRNA expression and prognostic value of PLEKHS1 was evaluated in bladder cancer. We investigated DNA mutations and mRNA expression of PLEKHS1 in a first series of 154 bladder tumors [71 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and 83 muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBC)] from patients who underwent transurethral bladder resection or radical cystectomy between 2001 and 2006, and 20 normal bladder samples. Results were then validated in a second series of 181 bladder tumors (91 NMIBC and 90 MIBC). All patients have signed an informed consent form. DNA mutations were analysed by high-resolution melt analysis and sanger sequencing. The mRNA expression was measured by real-time reverse-transcriptase quantitative PCR. The results of the molecular analysis were compared with survival data. PLEKHS1 mutations occurred in 25.0 and 32.2% of NMIBC and MIBC, respectively in the first series. These results were confirmed in the second series (33.0 and 37.8% of NMIBC and MIBC, respectively). In MIBC, DNA mutations were significantly more frequent with the basal than non-basal phenotype (61.5 vs. 27.1%; P=0.0025). The PLEKHS1 mRNA level was increased in 22.5 and 27.7% of NMIBC and MIBC tumors but was not associated with DNA mutations. In NMIBC, PLEKHS1 mRNA overexpression was significantly associated with progression to muscle-invasive disease (P=0.0069) and remained an independent prognostic factor on multivariate analysis (P=0.034). DNA mutations of PLEKHS1 occurred in one-third of bladder tumors and was frequent in the basal MIBC phenotype. PLEKHS1 mRNA overexpression may be an independent prognostic factor of progression-free survival in NMIBC.

Recruitment of hepatic macrophages from monocytes is independent of IL-4Rα but is associated with ablation of resident macrophages in schistosomiasis.

Alternatively activated Mφs (AAMφ) accumulate in hepatic granulomas during schistosomiasis and have been suggested to originate in the bone marrow. What is less understood is how these Mφ responses are regulated after S. mansoni infection. Here, we investigated the role of IL-4 receptor α-chain (IL-4Rα)-signalling in the dynamics of liver Mφ responses. We observed that IL-4Rα signalling was dispensable for the recruitment of Ly6Chi monocytes and for their conversion into F4/80hi CD64hi CD11bhi Mφ. Moreover, while IL-4Rα provided an AAMφ phenotype to liver F4/80hi CD64hi CD11bhi Mφ that was associated with regulation of granuloma formation, it was dispensable for host survival. Resident F4/80hi CD64hi CD11blo Mφ did not upregulate the AAMφ signature gene Ym1. Rather, resident Mφ nearly disappeared by week 8 after infection and artificial ablation of resident Mφ in CD169DTR mice did not affect the response to S. mansoni infection. Interestingly, ablation of CD169+ cells in naive mice resulted in the accumulation of F4/80hi CD64hi CD11bhi Mφ, which was amplified when ablation occurred during schistosomiasis. Altogether, our results suggest the ablation of resident KCs after S. mansoni infection to be associated with the recruitment and accumulation of F4/80hi CD64hi CD11bhi Mφ with lyz2-dependent IL-4Rα contributing to the regulation of granuloma inflammation but being dispensable for host survival.

Non-Coding Variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes: Potential Impact on Breast and Ovarian Cancer Predisposition.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are major breast cancer susceptibility genes whose pathogenic variants are associated with a significant increase in the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Current genetic screening is generally limited to BRCA1/2 exons and intron/exon boundaries. Most identified pathogenic variants cause the partial or complete loss of function of the protein. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that variants in these regions only account for a small proportion of cancer risk. The role of variants in non-coding regions beyond splice donor and acceptor sites, including those that have no qualitative effect on the protein, has not been thoroughly investigated. The key transcriptional regulatory elements of BRCA1 and BRCA2 are housed in gene promoters, untranslated regions, introns, and long-range elements. Within these sequences, germline and somatic variants have been described, but the clinical significance of the majority is currently unknown and it remains a significant clinical challenge. This review summarizes the available data on the impact of variants on non-coding regions of BRCA1/2 genes and their role on breast and ovarian cancer predisposition.

VOPP1 promotes breast tumorigenesis by interacting with the tumor suppressor WWOX.

BACKGROUND: The WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene, frequently altered in breast cancer, encodes a tumor suppressor whose function is mediated through its interactions with cancer-related proteins, such as the pro-apoptotic protein p73α. RESULTS: To better understand the involvement of WWOX in breast tumorigenesis, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen and co-immunoprecipitation assays to identify novel partners of this protein. We characterized the vesicular overexpressed in cancer pro-survival protein 1 (VOPP1) as a new regulator of WWOX. In breast cancer cells, VOPP1 sequestrates WWOX in lysosomes, impairs its ability to associate with p73α, and inhibits WWOX-dependent apoptosis. Overexpressed VOPP1 potentiates cellular transformation and enhances the growth of transplanted tumors in vivo. VOPP1 is overexpressed in breast tumors, especially in tumors that retain WWOX. Moreover, increased expression of VOPP1 is associated with reduced survival of patients with WWOX-positive, but not with WWOX-negative, tumors. CONCLUSIONS: These findings emphasize the importance of the sequestration of WWOX by VOPP1 in addition to WWOX loss in breast tumors and define VOPP1 as a novel oncogene promoting breast carcinogenesis by inhibiting the anti-tumoral effect of WWOX.
