Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of medicine and biology. It concerns a new screening test and therapeutic monitoring in oncology. More particularly, it relates to diagnostic and / or therapeutic tests in oncology and neurodegenerative diseases.
- Age-related neurodegenerative diseases and cancers both involve a change in the physiological process of programmed cell death or apoptosis. Neuronal death is abnormally accelerated during neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer 's, Huntington' s, Parkinson 's etc. In contrast, the process of cancerization corresponds to a blockage of apoptosis leading to an uncontrolled multiplication of cells. The link between these two processes has now become a major field of research in aging research.
- Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. While over the last generation the percentage of deaths related to heart disease, cardiovascular disease and many other diseases have been declining, the number of deaths related to various forms of cancer is on the rise. Despite the rapid advancement of our understanding of different forms of cancer, low survival rates are generally attributable to inadequate diagnosis and treatment. Most tumors can only be detected when they reach a size of about 1 cm. Since there is a relatively short period of time for the continuous development of a tumor to a stage that becomes incompatible with survival, this leaves little time for therapeutic intervention. So, early diagnosis becomes the key to success for cancer treatment.
- skin cancer is the most common cancer in Canada. In 1992 alone, 50,300 new cases of skin cancer were reported, compared to 19,300 cases of lung cancer, 16,200 cases of colorectal cancer and 15,700 cases of breast cancer. In other words, skin cancer is as common as the top 3 types of cancers combined. Its incidence continues to grow with its 64,200 new cases in 1997, an increase of 14,000 cases annually in 5 years. In particular, the incidence of malignant melanoma is growing at a rate of 2% per year. Early diagnosis remains the key to effective treatment. A malignant tumor is easily accessible and can be removed with minor surgery. In fact, the cure is 100% if skin cancer is detected early enough. However, early diagnosis of skin cancer remains difficult.
- a definitive diagnosis of skin cancer requires biopsy and histological analysis. However, the decision to send a biopsy for analysis (or even if a patient needs to be referred to a dermatologist) becomes very subjective. There are several biopsies that are not taken when they should have been.
- Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality among men and women in North America (16,200 cases per year). Early detection, leading to early intervention, has shown that treatment success and survival can be improved. For example, the 5-year survival rate is 92% for a patient whose disease has been detected at an early stage, while the rate drops to about 60% in patients with localized cancer, and to about 6% in those with metastases. However, only one-third of colon cancers are detected at an early stage. One of the reasons for this delay in diagnosis is the lack of a sensitive screening test, inexpensive and non-invasive.
- cyclin D1 one of the proteins constituting the regulatory subunits of the kinases of the cell cycle, essential for the progression of the cell cycle. This protein is also expressed during apoptosis in various cell types (Han et al, 1996, Pardo et al, 1996).
- the present invention relates to a new cell cycle reinduction screening test targeting oncology. This is a diagnostic test and a prognostic test for different cancers (cancers of the breast, bladder, ovary, lung, skin, prostate, colon, liver, glioblastoma, sarcoma, leukemia, etc.). More particularly, the invention relates to the use of the protein LIV21 as well as their derivatives as markers diagnostics and prognosis of cancers. The invention thus relates to the detection of the LFV21 protein with a kit comprising antibodies specific for LIV21.

- the cancer is selected from cancers of the breast, bladder, ovary, lung, skin, prostate, colon, liver, sarcoma, leukemia and glioblastoma, without being limited to these.
- LIV21 as a prognostic indicator of cancer. Indeed, when LIV21 is located in the cytoplasm, the cancer cells in the tissues are aggressive. Conversely, when the product of the expression of the LIV21 gene is preferentially localized in the cell nucleus, this is a prognostic indicator that the cells of the tissue are differentiated and quiescent and therefore non-invasive. The effectiveness of a cancer treatment can also be followed by the traceability of this protein, its derivatives and ratios with the associated proteins.

Preferably, these ratios are determined in the nucleus. Preferably, these ratios are compared to those obtained in a healthy cell.
- the HDAC family plays a key role in the regulation of gene expression. When they are overexpressed, they result in the silencing of tumor suppressor genes hence the interest of using HDAC inhibitors in therapy associated with other inhibitors regulating the metabolic cascade involving the protein complex that contains LIV21.
- the level of expression of each enzyme or polypeptide of the complex SUMO / Rb / HDAC or for certain cell types of the PML / SUMO / Rb / HDAC complex is an additional indicator of the proliferation state of the cell.

- the invention relates to the identification of antigens in cell lysates by immunoprecipitation.
- the analysis of the physical interaction of different proteins associated with E2F4 and E2F1 was studied by co-immunoprecipitation of protein complexes. This analysis has highlighted a new marker with a diagnostic and prognostic utility for cancer.
- a marker of PATF proliferation associated with the E2F family had been demonstrated (Crisanti) by the characterization of exons without the gene being cloned in humans, or a corresponding protein found in humans.
- this new molecule LTV21 could have diagnostic value for the following reasons.
- the inventor was able to observe that, in all the proliferating tumor cells, this protein is cytoplasmic instead of nuclear. It is therefore not in the good cell compartment to be active on stopping the multiplication of cells.
- LIV21 has thus been observed in mammals.
- the expression panel of LTV21 as a function of cell state was studied on tissues from different mammals. Protein analyzes on the different tissue samples confirmed that expression of this transcription factor appears to be associated with progression to a quiescent cell state (mitosis arrest and differentiation initiation).
- LIV21 is present in actively proliferating tumor cell lines and its expression is essentially cytoplasmic. The same results are obtained on human mammary adenocarcinoma.
- the present invention relates to a new screening test for abnormalities of reinduction of the cell cycle.
- This diagnostic test is based on the study of the mechanism of action of the new gene, coding for a new potential transcription factor called LIV21, which negatively regulates proliferation.
- LIV21 is involved in stopping cell proliferation.
- LFV21 is cytoplasmic when cells proliferate as it becomes nuclear when cells become shedding.
- E2F4 The latter is known to negatively regulate the cell cycle in association with the P 130 protein or pocket protein of the RB family.
- LIV21 in tumor cells (cytoplasmic localization) and in physiological cells (nuclear localization) suggests in any case that its functioning is disrupted when cellular development becomes anarchic.
- this ubiquitous transcription factor has an expression and a location regulated according to the cellular state: stronger expression and nuclear localization for the cells leaving the mitotic cycles, weak expression and cytoplasmic localization for actively proliferating cells such as human tumor cells.
- LIV21 appears as a key molecule to stabilize another transcription factor (E2F4) in the cell nucleus and thus induce cell proliferation arrest.
- LIV21 in the cytoplasmic compartment is regulated by PKC ⁇ . Indeed, when LIV21 is phosphorylated by PKC ⁇ , LIV21 is located in the cytoplasmic compartment. Conversely, when the phosphorylation of LIV21 by PKC ⁇ is inhibited, LIV21 is located in the nuclear compartment.
- the present invention thus relates to the LIV21 protein as well as derivatives and fragments thereof.
- the LIV21 protein is a human protein of about 300 amino acids. However, depending on the alternative splicing it undergoes, it occurs in at least three different size forms ( Figure 8). Moreover, it can be phosphorylated or sumoylated. It has an apparent molecular weight between 50 kD and 51 kD in Western Blot analyzes. This apparent molecular weight is 60 kD when LIV21 is sumoylated. In its 51 kD form, phosphorylated or otherwise, its isoelectric point is 5.6 and its intensity is 13632. This protein has been characterized by mass spectrometry (Maldi) (Example 1, Figures 3-13 3).

- TPA increases the capacity for migration of MCF-7 cells in vitro and a short treatment of these cells by TPA induces cell expansion and microtubule organization characteristic of their differentiation.
- the inventor verified the expression of LIV21 in these cells at the protein level.
- the inventor has discussed the study of the expression of the protein LIV21 by the technique of the western blot, with an anti-LIV21 antibody, in the MCF-7 cells compared to the mammary tissues.
- the anti-LIV21 antibodies were obtained by the method described below.
- LIV21 is expressed as well in mammary tissues as in MCF-7 cells, in the form of a doublet migrating at an apparent molecular weight of 50 kDa.
- the specific peptide sequences are sequences No. 1 and No. 2 These peptides were injected into rabbits (NZ W ESD 75 female 2.3kg at day 0) In accordance with standard immunization procedures, such as:
- the reactivity of the serum obtained was tested to bind peptide sequences # let 2. At J60 the serum showed good reactivity with each sequence.
- the serum produced is not related to any member of the E2F family.
- TPA induces proliferation arrest and differentiation of tumor cells of the MCF-7 line.
- the cell growth was previously followed over three days of culture in the presence or absence of TPA at a concentration of 25 nM (FIG. 13).
- Cell counts show variation in growth kinetics between untreated and TPA treated cultures. Indeed, from the second day of culture, the number of cells between the two treatment conditions is significantly different, the TPA already inducing cell proliferation arrest. After 3 days of treatment, the control cultures have twice as many cells as the treated cultures. TPA at a concentration of 25 nM therefore inhibits proliferation well in our culture conditions.
- TPA-treated cells rapidly acquire characteristics of differentiated mammary gland cells (FIG. 14): hypertrophy, membrane profusions and the tendency to dissociate from each other.
- FOG. 14 characteristics of differentiated mammary gland cells
- Phase S The FACS study shows that the number of cells in S phase decreases to reach a limit value between 12h and 24h of treatment with TPA (Figure 15A). But, without new addition of TPA, the number of cells in phase S increases again to return to the initial state at 72 hours of treatment.
- Phase G2 / M The number of cells in G2 / M phase increases from the beginning of treatment with a maximum observed at 12 hours (Figure 15B).
- Phase G0 / G1 The number of cells in G0 / G1 phase is minimal at 6 hours and maximum at 24 hours (Figure 15C).
- PKC ⁇ is weakly expressed at 12h, at which time we observe the least number of cells in S phase and the maximum of nuclear translocation of LIV21.
- EXAMPLE 4 Study of the Specific Role of PKC ⁇ on the Nuclear Translocation of LIV21 Using a Peptide Inhibiting Function and the Translocation of PKC ⁇
- cultures have were treated with a peptide, selective antagonist of the function and translocation of this PKC (EAVSLKPT (SEQ ID No. 6), and the results were compared with those obtained by treatment with TPA.
- EAVSLKPT SEQ ID No. 6
- This peptide is recognized by the enzyme and It binds as a modified substrate at its catalytic site and is non-phosphorylatable and acts as a specific inhibitor of PKC ⁇ activity.
- EXAMPLE 5 Western Blot Analysis This example describes the conditions used for Western Blot analysis of breast cancer cells.
- the protein extracts are heated for 5 minutes at 80 ° C. in Laemmli buffer (pH 7.4, 0.06M Tris, 3% SDS, 10% glycerol, 1M PMSF, ⁇ -mercaptoethanol).
- Laemmli buffer pH 7.4, 0.06M Tris, 3% SDS, 10% glycerol, 1M PMSF, ⁇ -mercaptoethanol.
- SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 10 to 20 ⁇ g of proteins migrate in a 12% polyacrylamide gel for 1 h under denaturing conditions (Migration buffer: 25 mM Tris base, 192 mM glycine, 1% SDS, pH 8.3).
- the proteins are then transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Schleicher & Schuell) for one hour in liquid transfer, in a transfer buffer (25mM Tris, 192mM glycine, 20% methanol, pH 8.3).
- the membranes saturated with PBS-Tween 0.1% -Triton X100 0.1% -5% skimmed milk for one hour, are contacted with the primary antibody diluted in PBS-0.1% Tween -Triton X100 0.1% -1% milk at room temperature with gentle stirring for one hour to two hours. After washing, the secondary antibody coupled to the peroxidase is incubated with the membranes.
- the revelation is by a chemiluminescence reaction using the ECL kit according to the supplier's protocol (Amersham).
- the primary antibodies used are:
- the anti-LIV21 serum which was manufactured using two synthetic peptides based on the LIV21: Pe ⁇ tideLIV21a sequence (SEQ ID No. 1 and LIV21b peptide (SEQ ID No.
- the peptides were coupled to hemocyanin before being injected into rabbits for immunization.
- the polyclonal antibody was obtained from these two peptides by immunizing two rabbits and blowing a rabbit to have a preimmune serum (to be sure that this antibody did not already exist in this rabbit).
- the anti-CDK2 rabbit polyclonal antibody (Santa-Cruz technology sc-163) diluted
- the mouse anti- ⁇ 21 monoclonal antibody (DAKO 5 M7202) diluted 1/150.
- the anti-PKC ⁇ rabbit polyclonal antibody (Santa-Cruz technology sc-214) diluted
- Rat polyclonal anti- ⁇ tubulin antibody (Serotec, MCAP77) diluted 1/500.
- the secondary antibodies used coupled to the peroxidase (Caltag) are:
- the LIV21 protein has been shown to be associated with PML bodies and, during sumoylation, LIV21 to change from a molecular weight of 50kd to 60kd. Immunoprecipitation showed co-localization of LIV21 with SUMO in the PML-SUMO / LIV21 complex. ( Figure 22)
- PML bodies In the proliferation stage, there are visualized changes in PML bodies because these PML bodies dissociate and degrade: (speekles), proteins are then available in the nucleus to ensure transcription, proliferation, immune responses and anything that requires gene transcription.
- PML has been shown to associate with SUMO and HDAC-I (histone deacetylase 1) and that its complex acts on the expression of E2F1 and PML thus acts on the stop proliferation by blocking E2F1.
- HDAC-I histone deacetylase 1
- PML thus acts on the stop proliferation by blocking E2F1.
- PML / HDAC-I complex negatively regulates the expression of E2F1.
- PML associated with Rb binds to histone deacetylases and blocks E2F1 by binding to chromatin ( Figure 2).
- PML In acute promyelocytic leukemias, PML is truncated and becomes a fusion protein with the retinoic acid receptor. This fusion protein (PMLRARalpha) is due to a chromosomal translocation 15/17. It has been reported in the literature a new treatment of this disease by combination of arsenic and retinoic acid to induce cancer cells in apoptosis. The PML protein regulates proliferation in cancers and lymphomas. The inventor has shown by immunoprecipitation the SUMO-PML association in which LIV21 is located.
- LIV21 is phosphorylated by PKC ⁇ and that TPA is a PKC inhibitor.
- MCF7 lines treated with TPA show inhibition of cancer proliferation and cell differentiation and LIV21 is translocated into the nucleus. If a PKC ⁇ -specific inhibitory peptide was used, it is the activity and not the expression of PKC ⁇ that was inhibited.
- E2F4, p130 and LIV21 After 48 hours when proliferation begins, E2F4 has a comparable location; but at 72 h, it disappears from the core (in favor of E2Fl).
- Figure 25 Results: image 43: poorly differentiated cancer; Image 58: healthy tissue from the same subject with cancer; Image 40: metastatic carcinoma 10 cm and image 17: metastatic carcinoma 3.5 cm.
- FIG. 26 is like FIG. 25 a second example of nuclear localization of LIV21 in the control and healthy tissue (No. 52) of the patient No. 7 of squamous cell carcinoma of pharynx (moderately differentiated T4N0M0).
- Figure 27 is a sample of advanced bladder cancer on cystectomy (urothelial grade III carcinoma infiltrating the chorion and muscularis) versus healthy bladder tissue of the same patient with internal control (PI): preimmune PI serum before the rabbit is immunized against LIV21 labeling nuclei with propidium iodide.
- PI internal control
- Figure 28 is a breast cancer sample for demonstrating the cyplasmic labeling of the LFV21 antibody in cancer cells. These results show that the cytoplasmic localization of LIV21 is an indicator of the aggressiveness and metastatic potential of cancer. The detection of LIV21 expression indicates the presence of invasive, aggressive and metastatic cancer cells. These results also show that the nuclear localization of LIV21 is an indicator of healthy quiescent cells of well differentiated tissues.
- EXAMPLE 8 Physical Interaction of LIV21 with the Proteins of the E2F Family Co-immunoprecipitation experiments carried out using anti-LIV21, anti-E2F1 and anti-E2F4 antibodies made it possible to demonstrate that LIV21 associates at E2F4.
- E2F1 positively controls the cell cycle by transactivating the promoter of the genes responsible for cell proliferation (DNA polymerase alpha, thymidine kinase, DHFR, etc.), whereas E2F4 is described as one of the members of the EF family that negatively controls the cell proliferation. cycle.
- E2F1 embryonic mammary tissues
- Antigen identification was made in cell lysates by immunoprecipitation.
- the analysis of the physical interaction of different proteins associated with E2F4 and E2F1 was demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation of protein complexes.
- the study of the complex by ⁇ MACS PROTEIN to MICROBEADS (MILTENYIBIOTEC).
- MILTENYIBIOTEC MILTENYIBIOTEC
- S aureus lysates By addition of S aureus lysates, the A proteins interact with the Fc portion of the specific antibodies and the immune complexes become insoluble, thus recovering them by centrifugation. After breaking the bonds (heating) between AG AC and protein-rich membranes A, a western was made blot.
- EXAMPLE 9 Functional Interaction of LIV21 with the Proteins of the E2F Family It has been demonstrated that the blocking of the expression of the LF / 21 protein is correlated with a decrease in the expression of E2F4 and an increase in the expression of E2F1. In parallel, the functional aspect of the E2F1 increase was verified by studying the transcription of two of its target genes, DHFR and ⁇ -DNA polymerase.
