Junction Adhesion Molecule-A (JAM-A) is present on leukocytes and platelets where it promotes cell adhesion and motility. We are interested in an interaction between JAM-A and tumor progression/metastases. To address this point, we mated JAM-A-/- mice and mouse mammary tumor model MMTV-PyMT mice which, which express polyoma middle T antigen under the control of mouse mammary tumor virus. MMTV-PyMT mice show 100% penetration of mammary tumor and highly metastases to lung. MMTV-PyMT mice without JAM-A show less primary tumor progression, therefore JAM-A enhance primary tumor progression. Then we are addressing the molecular mechanism of this phenomenon by in vivo. Furthermore, we would like to examine JAM-A deficient MMTV tumor signature.
Abrogation of junctional adhesion molecule-A expression induces cell apoptosis and reduces breast cancer progression.

Progression from low- to high-grade in a glioblastoma model reveals the pivotal role of immunoediting.
Specimen part
View SamplesThe different phases of tumor immunoediting in vivo were dissected thanks to a murine model of glioma induced by PDGF-B overexpression. We show that low-grade gliomas are highly immunostimulatory and that the adaptive immune system prevents the development of secondary tumor in syngeneic mice. During tumor progression, glioma cells downregulate immunostimulatory genes and the immune infiltrate becomes pro-tumorigenic. We showed that glioma cells are able to progress towards a high-grade phenotype even in immunodeficient mice, albeit more slowly and this progression invariably requires a downregulation of immunostimulatory genes.

View SamplesWe analyzed the generation of mouse gliomas following the overexpression of PDGF-B in embryonic neural progenitors. Comparison of our microarray data, with published gene expression data sets for many different murine neural cell types, revealed a closest relationship between our tumor cells and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, confirming definitively that PDGF-B-induced gliomas are pure oligodendrogliomas.
PDGF-B induces a homogeneous class of oligodendrogliomas from embryonic neural progenitors.

View SamplesGene expression profiles of Human EAT vs. SAT (CTRL & CAD). The aim of the present study was to assess a gene expression chart characterizing EAT vs. SAT, and CAD vs. CTRL. Results provide the information that EAT is characterized by a differential expression of different genes when compared to its reference tissue (SAT), and that EAT is characterized by specific gene expression changes in patients with CAD.

View SamplesIncreased morbidity and mortality associated with post-ischemic heart failure (HF) in diabetic patients underscore the need for a better understanding of the underlying molecular events. Indeed, effective HF therapy in diabetic patients requires a complex strategy encompassing the development of improved diagnostic and prognostic markers and innovative pharmacological approaches.
