  • PDA pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
  • PANR pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
  • the present invention also relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of PDA associated neural remodeling (PANR).
  • Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is considered as one of the most serious cancers, with a quick and asymptomatic evolution leading to a very low survival rate in patients (1,2)
  • current treatments mainly based on surgery and chemotherapies, have a limited impact on the patient's fate, in part due to impaired drug perfusion provoked by the stromal reaction surrounding tumor cells (4,5).
  • PDA is characterized by the presence of a predominant stroma (intra-tumoral microenvironment) composed of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), immune, endothelial and nerve cells.
  • CAFs cancer associated fibroblasts
  • These have all been reported as drastic modifiers of tumor cells' abilities thereby impacting on pancreatic tumor evolution and prognosis (6).
  • recent advances based on the effects of the stromal compartment on PDA are limited, and their clinical translation remains difficult (7).
  • PNI perineural invasion
  • LIF has a direct role on PDA Associated Neural Remodeling.
  • stromal cells mainly macrophages and fibroblasts, have the ability to secrete LIF acting then on pancreatic neural compartment.
  • LIF can induce migration and differentiation of Schwann cells and neural plasticity of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons through modulation of the JAK/STAT3 intracellular signaling.
  • DRG dorsal root ganglia
  • the present invention relates to the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
  • PDA PDA associated neural remodeling

  • the inventors also investigated the specific connection between the stromal compartment and the nerve system in PDA.
  • PDA is characterized by a large stroma and important peripheral nervous system modifications.
  • the inventors provide in vitro and in vivo evidences that LIF (leukemia inhibitory factor), a pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the IL-6 family, is involved in PDA associated neural remodeling (PANR).
  • LIF leukemia inhibitory factor
  • LIF is overexpressed in PDA tissues compared to healthy pancreas while its receptors, LIFR and gpl30, are expressed in intra-tumoral nerves.
  • both cancer and stromal cells expressed LIF, only stromal cells showed the ability to secrete LIF in the extra-cellular medium.
  • This secreted LIF induced Schwann cell migration, decreased proliferation and modulated their differentiation status, through the activation of the JAK/STAT3/AKT intracellular signaling.
  • LIF also induced neuronal plasticity in dorsal root ganglia neurons by increasing the number of neurites and the soma area.
  • LIF blocking antibody in endogenous PDA mice model reduces intra-tumoral nerve density supporting the important role of LIF in PANR. Furthermore, using human and mouse serum libraries, the inventors showed that LIF titer improves CA19.9 diagnostic value and is positively correlated with intra-tumoral nerve density. Altogether, the present invention highlight the potential use of LIF serum titrating as a valuable diagnostic tool, as well as a therapeutic strategy aiming to limit LIF's impact on PANR.

  • the second proposal was that if an amino acid in the framework of the human immunoglobulin is unusual and the donor amino acid at that position is typical for human sequences, then the donor amino acid rather than the acceptor may be selected.
  • the third proposal was that in the positions immediately adjacent to the 3 CDRs in the humanized immunoglobulin chain, the donor amino acid rather than the acceptor amino acid may be selected.
  • the fourth proposal was to use the donor amino acid reside at the framework positions at which the amino acid is predicted to have a side chain atom within 3A of the CDRs in a three dimensional model of the antibody and is predicted to be capable of interacting with the CDRs.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne le diagnostic et le traitement d'un PANR (remodelage neuronal associé à un PDA (adénocarcinome canalaire pancréatique)). Les inventeurs ont étudié les effets du compartiment stromal sur PDA et PANR et la connexion spécifique entre le compartiment stromal et le système nerveux dans un PDA. A l'aide d'échantillons de PDA provenant de modèles humains et de souris endogènes, les inventeurs ont démontré que le LIF (facteur inhibiteur de la leucémie) est surexprimé dans les tissus de PDA par comparaison avec le pancréas sain tandis que ses récepteurs, LIFR et gp130 sont exprimés dans des nerfs intra-tumoraux. Les inventeurs ont démontré que l'expression et la sécrétion de LIF induit une migration de cellules de Schwann, une prolifération réduite et une modulation de leur état de différenciation. Le LIF induit également une plasticité neuronale. L'injection d'anticorps bloquant le LIF dans un modèle de souris PDA endogène réduit la densité du nerf intra-tumoral. En outre, à l'aide de bibliothèques de sérum humain et de souris, les inventeurs ont montré que le titre de LIF améliore la valeur de diagnostic de CA19,9 et est corrélé positivement à la densité de nerf intra-tumorale. Ainsi, la présente invention concerne un inhibiteur de LIF destiné à être utilisé dans le traitement du PANR et un procédé d'identification d'un sujet ayant ou présentant un risque d'avoir ou de développer un PANR, comprenant la mesure du niveau d'expression de LIF.
