Gustave Roussy was first created as
the “Institut du Cancer” by Pr. Gustave
Roussy in 1926 and gathers on its campus
around 3,000 professionals, including 239
MD, whose missions are to treat cancer
patients, to set up innovative therapies and
to develop and spread the knowledge within
medical and scientific communities.
The Institute is headed by Pr. Alexander
Eggermont and its specificity is based
on the integration between innovative
healthcare and a top level research through
a tight cooperation with the Université
Paris-Sud and its Faculty of Medicine.
In 2014, the Institute ensured 228,000
medical consultations and hosted 11,800
new patients, 26% of whom have benefited
from an innovative therapy through the
enrollment in one of the 369 ongoing clinical
studies.
Since January 1st 2015, the Chevilly-Larue
hospital (CHSP) has merged with Gustave
Roussy; which increased the total number
of hospital beds up to 435 and of outpatient
units up to 102.
The Gustave Roussy research landscape now
comprises 37 research teams (from basic
science to translational biological research,
from epidemiology and biostatistics to
psycho-oncology and health economy), 14
clinical research teams each focused on
one organ or pathology, a clinical research
division which manages all the aspects of the
clinical research (methodology, biostatistics,
regulatory affairs, operations and
pharmacovigilance), a hospital department
dedicated to therapeutic innovations and
early clinical trials as well as a 10 technology
core facilities brought together within one
administrative “Service Unit”. Research at
Gustave Roussy is coordinated by Pr. Eric
Solary.
In the last years, a global reflection has
been initiated about the evolution of the
technologies core facilities within Gustave
Roussy. As far as genomics is concerned,
Gustave Roussy has externalised the high-
throughput sequencing for the molecular
medicine program (through a partnership
with a biotech company, INTEGRAGEN,
which installed and operates a “clinical
sequencing unit” within the Institute), and
proposes to merge its 2 genomics facilities
(for clinical and basic research) within a
unique facility that can share expertise,
personnel and technology.
The robotised fluorescence videomicroscopic
facility for high-throughput screening
is now available and the creation of a
“pharmacology Platform” for clinical and
basic research is envisioned. Moreover, the
management of the Tumour Bank (~150,000
tumor samples) is being profoundly
modified to give a better access to tumour
samples and to store biological samples
upon prospective research programs.
The Molecular Medicine Program has been
refined by new trial designs with the aim
to answer the question of resistance to
targeted therapies (i.e. MATCH-R) including
sequential biopsies and xenografts.
The Gustave Roussy Immunotherapy
Program (GRIP) has been initiated following
the recruitment of clinical immunologist
who is setting up immunotherapy clinical
trials associated with translational
research.
The onco-haematology program will be
reinforced by the creation of the hospital
haematology department which will give
visibility and coherence to the haematology
clinical activities and foster collaboration
with Gustave Roussy research teams.
early clinical trials, the recruitment of a
senior methodologist specialised in early
phase trial and adaptive designs, and the
coordination of the Institute’s industrial
partnerships.
The present book introduces research groups
and clinical committees currently operating
in Gustave Roussy and the platforms they
use. DNA repair, tumour immunology and
molecular medicine are the three main axes of
basis and translational research, with clinical
research introducing new drugs and testing
biomarkers.
Strengthening international partnerships
Internationally, Gustave Roussy is developing a
program to promote its model of care, to train
foreign professionals, and to improve access
to cancer care for all patients through hospital
projects abroad, which may be one-off or occur
several times a year.
These have taken place in partner countries
such as Kazakhstan, Kuwait and the United
Arab Emirates.
On the research side, the Institute played a key
role in the founding, in July 2014, of “Cancer Core
Europe”, a European comprehensive cancer
center consortium that involves 5 other Cancer
Centres (DKFZ / NCT, VHIO, NKI, Cambridge
Cancer Center, Karolinska Institute). Cancer
Core Europe will make the bridge «bench-tobedside and bedside-to-bench» and conduct
next-generation clinical trials focused on
proof-of-concept, companion, predictive and
resistance monitoring, biomarkers.
Several working groups have been set up,
among which the “IT/ Data Sharing working
group” will develop a common software
platform to integrate all patient data that
federates the databases from each of the
centres. In less than a year, the consortium has
already been successful in two European calls:
TRANSCAN and EIT Health.
Gustave Roussy has drawn its future roadmap
through its Development Program 2015-2020.
Resulting from several months of work by all
the professionals at the Institute, it provides a
framework, based on existing foundations, for
an innovative Comprehensive Cancer Centre.
Within this program, the three main actions
for research are: (i) the creation of clinicianresearchers positions (MD/PhD or PharmaD/
PhD) whose workload will be mainly focused
on ambitious exploratory and/or translational
research projects; (ii) the construction of a
preclinical cancer research facility (PRECAN);
(iii) the creation in 2020 of a renewed Research
Centre endorsed by the National Institutions
(including basic, translational and clinical
research).
This last objective is highly strategic. The
Institute aims at building on an integrated,
first-class, innovative research based on
highly-talented scientists, clinicians and staff
members. After evaluating the potential of
candidate research team leaders, a proposal
for a future research strategy and organisation
of the Research Centre will be discussed, in a
very open system of exchange.
Alexander Eggermont
According to the SAB 2013 recommendations,
several cross-program research projects
are being developed (e.g linking immunology
and DNA repair).
The development of the clinical research
has been mainly focused on early phase
clinical trials through the creation of
the Drug Development department
dedicated to therapeutic innovations and

Summary of the research topics:
The aim of the Unit is the identification and validation
of new therapeutic targets and molecular predictors in
oncology. The Unit’s work is based on the principle that
high-throughput molecular characterisation can lead to
the identification of therapeutic targets. The mission is to
transfer the molecular knowledge to clinical practice, and
use patient samples as source of hypotheses for research.
The following elements underlie the principles of the Unit:
a. One of the objectives is the set-up of clinical trials which
test the biomarkers;
b. The Unit can either pilot projects or support other units
performing fundamental research for the transfer of their
concepts;
c. The development of technologies and bioinformatic tools for
translational research is part of the objectives of the Unit;
d. Every project must be co-piloted by a researcher and a clinician.

The maintenance of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) is
a tightly regulated process by transcription factors that
control their self-renewal and commitment to differentiated
blod lineages. A disruption of this process can lead to cell
transformation and leukaemogenesis like Acute Myeloid
Leukemia (AML). We focused our studies on the role of Notch
in early stages of normal haematopoietic and in leukaemia
transformation. Our work suggests that Notch signalling acts
as a tumour suppressor in the AML and agonist molecules of
this pathway could be used in targeted therapy.
Our research projects will focus on two main areas:
-Molecular mechanisms of Notch function in early stages
of haematopoiesis and leukaemic transformation to AML.
-Analysis of the role of long non-coding RNA in the
maintenance of haematopoietic stem cells, their
differentiation and leukemic transformation.

associated with trisomy 21.
paediatric cancers affect about 1/600 child and represent
the second cause of death in western countries. The
haematological malignancies account for approximately
45% of the paediatric cancers. Clinical features of these
paediatric cancers suggest that they have different bases
compared to the corresponding adult cancers.
We identify the genetic landscape of leukaemia and
perform functional analyses using cellular and preclinical
in vivo models, including transgenic, patient-derived
xenotransplantation and CRISPR-based models.
The overall goal of our studies is to identify the precise
molecular mechanisms of transformation and the bases
for the exclusive association between several genetic
alterations and pediatric cancers in order to develop novel
therapeutic strategies. We primarily focus on paediatric
leukaemia presenting recurrent chromosomal alterations,
including acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia (characterised
The human transcriptome consists of not only coding RNAs
for proteins but also non-coding RNAs. Among these noncoding RNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) appear to play
a critical role in controlling the expression of genes involved
in the homeostasis of stem cells. However, their involvement
in the control of HSC and their transformation into AML
remains unexplored. Identifying and characterising such
transcripts could allow design of novel targeted therapies
for this disease.

Endocytosis is a fundamental process that allows the cell to
completely renew its plasma membrane and to internalise
as much as three times its own volume in approximately
one hour. More importantly, endocytosis allows the
internalisation of membrane receptors and their ligands
and thereby controls vital cell functions such as plasma
membrane homeostasis, cell nutrition and intracellular
signalling. All these functions make endocytosis an
essential player in virtually all cell processes including cell
migration, cell division, autophagy and many others.
Our group focuses on the mechanisms underlying cancer
cell migration as well as on fundamental aspects of
endocytosis and microtubules dynamics that directly affect

More specifically, we develop projects aiming at analysing
and understanding:
-The role of clathrin-coated pits during cell migration.
-The interplay between actin and microtubule cytoskeletons
and clathrin-coated pits.
-The dynamics of microtubule acetylation
-The dynamics of endocytosis in vivo
The over all aim of our team is to identify the acquired
mutations in the early step of haematopoietic
transformation, understand the network of cooperating
events underlying transformation and develop experimental
models to allow functional investigations and serve as
preclinical models.
We particularly study the connections between endocytosis
and the cytoskeletons at different levels by using
reconstituted in vitro systems, cell culture in 2D and 3D and
intravital analyses. We use a multidisciplinary approach
combining biochemistry, cell biology and biophysics in order
to understand how the cytoskeleton and endocytosis team
up to regulate the different steps of cell migration.
Most of the adult haematological malignancies arise from a
pre-leukaemic phase that involves an infra-clinic expansion
of abnormal, mutated haematopoietic stem/progenitor
cells. It has been shown that genetic lesions in genes
encoding for transcription factors (such as RUNX1, Spi1/
PU.1), mRNA splicing (SF3B1, U2AF35), DNA methylation
(Ten-Eleven-Translocation 2 (TET2), DNA (cytosine-5)methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A)), intermediate metabolism
(Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2)) or chromatin
structure (SMC1A) are founding mutations in human
malignancies.

We are investigating the functional consequences of TET2,
DNMT3A and IDH genetic lesions, that frequently predate
the development of myeloid or lymphoid malignancies
and are involved in epigenetic gene regulation. We are
studying the consequences of alteration in Spi1/PU activity,
a transcriptional factor of the ETS family, which in addition
to transcriptional regulation, plays a role in the control of
epigenetic and RNA splicing regulation. In addition, we are
analysing the roles of the GTPase RhoA and its regulators
(GEFs & GAPs) during normal haematopoietic cell division
and studying how mutations in RhoA may cooperate with
epigenetic factors for lymphocyte transformation.

The team N°2 works principally on normal and pathological
megakaryopoiesis. On normal megakaryopoiesis, our
objectives are to better understand the ontogenetic changes,
the role of some transcription factors, the epigenetic changes
and the processes of polyploidisation and platelet formation.
The applications are: i) understanding of platelet toxicity of
some drugs; ii) the development of techniques to produce
platelets in vitro. On pathological megakaryopoiesis, we
studied hereditary diseases including thrombocytopenias
(ex. those associated with mutations in RUNX1 (FPD/AML)
and ANKRD26 (THC2) and thrombocytosis secondary to
mutations in MPL. Their precise mechanisms are studied
in different cell models including iPSC. Myeloproliferative
neoplasms (NMP) are the more important malignancies
studied.
The work is based on the modelling of mutations, especially
JAK2V6217F and calreticulin in various cell models
and in vivo in mice to understand the mechanisms of
transformation and how to target them. Finally the team is
working on predisposition to malignancies characterisedby
mutations in RUNX1, ANKRD26 and by duplication of a new
susceptibility locus for NPM.

Recent advances in the understanding of genetic, molecular
and cellular events have highlighted the fact that cancer
is a complex disease of cell types and microenvironments
and urged us to 1) develop an integrative research program
in the field of radiation oncology in order to examine the
complexity of tumour response to ionising radiation (IR) and
2) define novel targets and strategies exploitable in clinic
and 3) develop the next generation radiation oncology.
To reach our objectives, we are developing an ambitious
basic research program that will be organised in 3 axes:
(I) the immune axis, (II) the tumour microenvironment and
metabolism axis and finally, (III) the technology axis. To
Radiation therapy is a cornerstone of cancer management.
After radiation exposure, cells may die through different
modalities of death, ranging from apoptosis and senescence
to autophagy or mitotic death. Despite these knowledge, the
program(s) of death triggered in irradiated cells remain(s)
elusive.
For all these reasons, we decided (i) to further characterise
the molecular basis of IR-induced cell death mechanisms,
(ii) to develop preclinical mouse models to assess the
impact of cell death types on the tumour microenvironment
and on the anti-tumour immune response, (iii) to determine
whether the detection of cell death mechanisms could be
a factor predictive of disease outcome or prognostic for
radiotherapy efficiency and (iv) to identify new technological
approaches that could modulate these cell death programs
and enhance the efficiency of radiotherapy.
Our research work will also address the involvement of cell
death modalities on the “abscopal effect”, analyse crosstalks between micro-environmental cell types and evaluate
the ability of new technologies to enhance (local or distant)
radiation mediated immune responses.

The recent revolution in –omics technology and the advent of
targeted therapies have increased the interest in molecular
biomarkers capable of predicting the diagnostic, the clinical
outcome of cancer patients or the response to specific
therapies (diagnostic, prognostic and predictive). There are
many challenges in the appropriate processing of modern
sequencing data and the integration of molecular data in
clinical epidemiology. The development of personalised
medicine implies the segmentation of common cancers
in small groups of tumours with specific abnormalities. A
new generation of clinical trial designs requiring repeated
biomarker measurements and surrogate clinical endpoints
is needed to evaluate treatment effects in trials with limited
sample sizes. Large-scale collaborative individual patient
data meta-analyses are useful tools to provide high level of
evidence on the efficacy and toxicity of anti-cancer therapies
in molecularly defined strata. With the increasing number
of therapies available for a specific indication in oncology,
methods for network meta-analyses will be developed to
compare their effectiveness. Because of the high costs
associated with the new tandem diagnostic and therapeutic
medicine, economic analyses will be needed to evaluate the
strategy associating the biomarkers with the molecularly
targeted treatments, which represents a new field of
research. Once a potential biomarker has been identified for
the prediction of diagnosis or clinical outcome of patients,
evidence-based evaluation implies careful replication in
other cohorts.

The team works on cancer epidemiology, with a focus on the
effects of ionising radiation and iatrogenic effects of long-term
cancer treatments. The implantation of the team in Gustave
Roussy allows a close collaboration with the departments of
radiotherapy, medical physics, nuclear medicine and paediatrics,
and a unique position to carry out translational research.
Since many years, the team has been following cohorts of subjects
exposed to different dose levels of ionising radiation, including
cohorts of cancer survivors. Over the last years, the study of the
long-term outcome of patients treated for cancer, especially
in childhood, has been one of the main fields of research of
the team. This work requires estimating accurately the doses
received in and outside of the fields during radiation therapy,
which is possible thanks to the software specifically developed
by the team, and working on statistical methodological issues to
better evaluate iatrogenic effects of long-term cancer treatments.
Within the next years, the team will go further into its current
research topics and develop new ones. Descriptive epidemiology
of tobacco, alcohol, and cancer screening is now a part of the
research field of the team. With the arrival of sociologists in the
team, the social consequences of late effects of cancer treatments
will also be addressed. The team is also developing projects on
genetics, in cancer aetiology and in the study of long-term effects.
In this framework, strengthening the collaboration with biologists,
radiation therapists and clinicians, especially paediatricians,
remains a key point in going further, and into developing innovative
translational research projects.

Conversely, MEN inactivates DNA damage signalling around
mitotic entry. Thus, entry into mitosis is finely tuned by an
equilibrium between opposite signaling pathways. How this
dynamic equilibrium is modulated in space and time during
G2/M progression remains poorly characterized and is the
main focus of our work.
A common hallmark of cancer cells is the appearance of
genetic abnormalities whose progressive accumulation
correlates with disease «aggressiveness». The main focus
of our lab is to determine how is timely and reproducibly
controlled mitotic commitment during any cell cycle to
preserve genomic integrity.

To decipher the spatio-temporal regulation of key
components of MEN versus DDR pathways we are currently
combining genetically encoded FRET (Förster Resonance
Energy Transfer) biosensors and real time live cell imaging
assays.
Entry into mitosis is tightly controlled by a complex
signalling network (Mitotic Entry Network or MEN), which
ultimates in the activation of Cyclin B1-Cdk1, the master
mitotic driver. DNA damages responses (DDR) modulate
this network at different levels to control entry into mitosis.

Translesion synthesis Process: a trade-off between limited
mutagenesis and chromosomal instability (group1)
Bulky lesions in the DNA can cause arrest of replicative
polymerases. Failure to relieve such DNA replication stress can
have dire consequences for the cell, as stalled replication forks
are prone to collapse and could potentially lead to double-strand
breaks (DSBs) that result to gross chromosomal instability
that have a close link to tumorigenesis. Cells have evolved
DNA damage tolerance strategies enabling the replication
machinery to bypass fork-blocking lesions. One DDT pathway,
the translesion synthesis (TLS) entails specialized low-fidelity
polymerases, which can replicate damaged DNA, albeit in
an error-prone manner. Therefore TLS has a conflicting
role in genome stability maintenance, as it accounts for a
large proportion of DNA damage-induced mutagenesis but
prevents even more severe forms of genome instability such as
chromosome rearrangements.
In addition to their roles in the replication of damaged DNA, TLS
polymerases have been co-opted into a number of other related
processes. During development of the immune response, the
antibody genes of vertebrates exhibit a particularly high rate of
focused mutagenesis, known as somatic hypermutation, which
is driven by activation-induced deaminase (AID). Although AID
can only deaminate dC to dU, its action gives rise to mutations
at all four bases in a series of reactions that crucially depend
on the Y-family polymerases. The dU formed by the action of
AID is removed by uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG), resulting in an
abasic site. Direct replication of this abasic site involves REV1
and generates mutations at dG-dC base pairs. Recognition of
dU can also result in the formation of a single-strand gap, and
the filling of these gaps by polη results in mutations at dA–dT
base pairs.
One important question emerges from these different roles of
TLS polymerases: How TLS polymerases are regulated and
integrated with DNA replication, repair, epigenetic maintenance
and chromatin architecture in mammalian cells? Detailed
insight into these processes is highly topical for improving new
concepts into cancer development and treatment.

DNA double strand breaks (DSB) are highly toxic lesions
that can be produced by ionizing radiation, oxidative stress
or DNA replication accidents.
Group 2: ROS and radiocarcinogenesis
Despite much progress in order to improve the benefit
/ risk ratio, the radiation causes many side effects. One
consequence of side effects is an increased risk of initiation
of new cancers such as thyroid cancer and the development
of fibrosis. Basically, late effects of ionizing radiation involve
reactive oxygen species (ROS). In cells, ROS are specifically
produced by NADPH oxidases (NOX/DUOX). The thyroid
expresses three of them. By producing ROS, the NADPH
oxidases are suspected to be involved in genetic instability
as well as in fibrogenesis process. With cellular and animal
models and state-of-the-art technology, our objective is to
dissect the molecular and mechanistic events from postirradiation (IR)-induced ROS generation to genomic instability
and radiocarcinogenesis as well as to fibrosis. During the last
five years we developed transversal studies focused on thyroid
oncogenesis and therapeutics, encompassing basic research
(Corinne Dupuy), translational and clinical research (Martin
Schlumberger, PU-PH, Director of the School of Cancer).
DSB can then generate genetic instability and thus can be
at the origin of oncogenesis, senescence and developmental
diseases.
Two main processes repair DSBs: Homologous
recombination (HR) and Non-homologous End Joining
(NHEJ).
Our research projects analyze the molecular and metabolic
networks controlling DSB repair in mammals and the
orientation of the repair toward one or the other pathway,
and the consequences on genome stability, tumor initiation
and progression.

Double strand-break (DSB) repair is a critical pathway
for genome integrity.
Chromosome rearrangements
(chromosome los, duplications, translocations...) and
genomic aberrations occur in the absence of DSB repair or
due to its incorrect repair. Homologous recombination (HR)
is a multi-step pathway of critical importance for the DSB
repair, but the way these multiple steps of HR are regulated
is still unknown in detail, specially for the late recombination
steps where there exist the risk of the formation of crossing
over products that exchange genetic information between
the chromosomes involved, with potential risk for loss
heterozygosity and translocation formation.
The project of our team aims to better understand the
regulation of the diferent players involved in the “crossing
over” formation during DSB repair, using both yeast and
human cell lines as models. The yeast model allows us to
look at molecular intermediates at a level we still are unable
to work in human cell lines. We draft phenotypes from
mutations on regulation motifs on the different helicases
and nucleases involved in crossover formation in the yeast
model and then test them in the human homologs to see
their relevance for the DSB repair process in a more relevant
context for cancer research.

Our team is interested in the mechanisms of genome
maintenance and the role of replication stress in genomic
instability and cancer predisposition.
Alterations at CFS loci are commonly found in tumours and
promote genomic instability from the early steps of cancer
development.
Our research project aims at understanding the molecular
causes and the functional consequences of CFS instability,
using FA cellular and mouse models.
The model of study is Fanconi anaemia (FA), a genetic
disorder characterised by chromosome instability, bone
marrow failure and cancer predisposition.
Patients with FA display chromosomal instability, particularly
at common fragile sites (CFS), genomic regions that are
prone to breakage under replication stress conditions.

Our strategy will follow three axes to:
Characterise at molecular and cellular level the DNA
damage response (DDR) through the keyhole of the FANC/
BRCA pathway.
Identify the functions of the FANC pathway outside the DDR,
to obtain a global understanding of the FA phenotype to
better support patients care.
Understand the role(s) of the FANC pathway in both
differentiation and cancer, the physiological and pathological
faces of the cell behaviour.
The ambition of the research’s projects that will be
developed in the team over the coming years is: a) to
achieve an improved understanding of the cellular and
molecular mechanisms activated in response to genotoxic
stress together with a better characterisation of the cellular
fonctions of the FANC/BRCA pathway and its integration
in the DNA damage response network; b) to precisely
define its physiologic role(s) in healthy cells, tissues and
individuals; c) to determine how its inactivation participate
to cancer intiation and progression. Our goals span, indeed,
from basic to translational research, fully integrating the
scientific strategies and objectives of CNRS and Gustave
Roussy Institute.
DNA damage which include bulky adducts, interstrand
crosslinks (ICLs) and clustered lesions. Although, the repair
pathways for simple non-bulky oxidative DNA damage are
well established, the detailed molecular mechanisms of
the removal of complex DNA lesions in mammalian cells
remains poorly understood.
The main research interest of the group is the field of DNA
repair and mutagenesis, particularly in the various aspects
of the enzymology of the repair of oxidative DNA damage
and active DNA demethylation in mammalian cells. DNA is
constantly subjected to chemical modifications endogenous
and exogenous agents that induce frequently base and
sugar lesions of different types, which are quickly repaired
in vivo.
Our research aims to identify, at the molecular level, a
relationship between a failure in DNA repair and genetic
instability either at nucleotide (substitution, modification,
insertion or deletion) or chromosome (genetic and
epigenetic) level. One might think, that the origin of the agerelated degenerative diseases is related to such defects in
the cell.

Since years, we have been working on the pathophysiological
impact of apoptosis and non-apoptotic cell death modalities
including autophagic cell death, necroptosis, necrosis
depending on mitochondrial permeability transition, and mitotic
catastrophe. We are currentlycharacterising the stress pathways
(including autophagy, unfolded protein response, mitochondrial
stress...) that are elicited by cytotoxic chemotherapeutics,
targeted anticancer agents and caloric restriction mimetics.
We aim at identifying the molecular links between damage
to cellular organelles, intracellular stress responses and
extracellular danger signals that stimulate inflammatory and
immune reactions. For this, we are studying danger signals that
appear on the surface of stressed cell or that are released as
soluble factors. We are also identifying the pattern recognition
receptors that are stimulated by such danger signals, as well
as the innate immune effectors and lymphocyte subpopulations
involved in the response against dead-cell antigens.

Melanoma, metastasis,
therapeutic targets
Melanomas arise from epidermal cells called melanocytes.
Altough the proportion of melanoma is only around 1% of
all skin cancers, it is responsible for ~75% of skin cancer
deaths. The deadliness of melanoma is linked to their high
metastatic potential; and once they disseminate, there is
no efficient treatment. Hence it is crucial to understand in
detail the mechanisms involved in metastasis to improve
actual treatment. Using different approaches, our lab
strives to identify genes driving the early steps of melanoma
progression to discover new therapeutic targets

concentrated on:
1) Investigate the nontranscriptional function of p53 in the
regulation of cell death and its role in cancer-associated
fibroblasts (CAF); 2) Elucidate the impact of hypoxic stress on
tumour plasticity and immune heterogeneity, and understand
the interaction between MITF and hypoxia in the control of
melanoma progression and
3) Develop a translational research around the anti-leukaemic
potential of NK cells in AML patients and the identification of
biomarkers of melanoma progression.
Our INSERM unit U1186 will focus mainly on lung cancer,
melanoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Our project will
be articulated around 3 main themes developed by 3 groups
with the aim of integrating tumour immunology and tumour
biology in the future innovative immunotherapy approaches and
targeted therapies.
Theme 1: “tumour antigens and T-cell reactivity”. Leader: fathia
Mami-Chouaib. The program of this group aims to:
1) Further investigate the role of CD103 in regulating intratumour T-cell migration and effector functions as well as
integrin signalling pathways;
2) Elucidate the influence of guidance molecules, including
semaphorins and their receptors, on T-cell recruitment within
lung tumour islets and
3) Develop a novel cancer vaccine approach in lung cancer based
on the preprocalcitonin (ppCT) tumor antigen.
Theme 3: “genetics and biology of renal cell carcinoma”. Leader:
Stéphane Richard. The research project of this group aims at:
1) Searching new mutated genes responsible for unexplained
familial RCC syndromes by next generation sequencing on
germline DNA;
2) Understanding the physiopathology of inherited RCC using a
functional genetic approach and
3) characterising genomic profiles of hereditary and sporadic
RCC.
Theme 2: “impact of tumour microenvironment on tumour
resistance and its role in shaping tumour plasticity and stroma
reactivity”. Leader: Salem Chouaib. The activity of this group is

The objective of this team is to develop and assess new
forms of cancer pathways. According to the theoretical
model of chronic Care (Wagner), these researches used
different economic, managerial, and social theories.
The main study is to implement a care coordination
system composed of two portals (one for patients, one for
professionals of primary care) and two nurse navigators.
Based on this new form of coordination, its assessment
will use the quality of observance of oral chemotherapies
(RDI) as the main criteria of a randomised clinical trial (1000
patients enrolled). A second step of this research project is
going to address the issues related to bundled payment that
could be applied to such care coordination systems. Other
researches projects are focused on paying for quality, care
customisation, management and prevention of nutritional
disorders and cost-benefit of less invasive strategies in the
follow up of localised prostatic cancer.

• Summary of the research topics:
The goal of the team consists in identifying new anticancer
therapies, particularly in the paediatric cancers and in
cancers with junction oncogenes in the adults and in the
children. The targeting of junction oncogenes is achieved
through the identification of appropriate siRNA (targeting
the unique junction sequences) and their vectorisation for
therapeutic use. New methods, using click chemistry, have
been developed to prepare siRNA-squalene nanoparticles.
The effects on the tumour cells of the reduction of the
junction oncogene products in the cell are explored to find
other strategies acting synergistically with the siRNA. The
development of new strategies in children with cancer
includes a comprehensive program from clinic to the
bench and back to the clinic to develop new therapies.
Early Drug Development Program in the Department of
Paediatric and Adolescent Oncology of Gustave Roussy.
The introduction of molecular profiling in advanced
stage cancers is discovering genetic alterations of yet
unknown function. The mission of the group is to discover
and explore these new potential therapeutic targets in
original patient-derived preclinical models. The program
“Genomics and Biology of Brain Tumours” is looking for
new biomarkers and therapeutic targets in glial neoplasms
using patients cohorts from trials and avatars derived
from fresh patient’s tumours (glioma stem cell lines
and orthotopic xenografts). In depth investigations in the
biology of gliomas use cutting-edge methods particularily
to study stroma-tumour interactions. High-throughput
technologies are favoured for the discovery part (NGS
including ChIPseq and RNAseq, ShRNA screen, large scale
drug screen). Validation are performed both in vitro and in
vivo to inform the design of new therapeutic trials.

Experimental Therapeutics » is directly linked with the

The Physical Vectorology group develops electroporationbased treatments. It also investigates the fundamentals of cell
electroporation. In the frame of the antitumor electrochemotherapy
(3000+ patients treated in the EU in 2014), we have shown that cell
death is immunogenic (Calvet et al, OncoImmunology 2014). In
non viral gene transfer, we study DNA translocation across cell
membrane (F. André, submitted) and developed new protocols for
DNA vaccination (Calvet et al, Mol. Ther. – Met. & Clin. Dev. 2014).
In the basic area, we have achieved important results for the
understanding of the interaction of electric fields with cells: we
have developed new model (the membrane impermeability model)
that reconciles electroporation and electropermeabilisation.
This is the first model that allows explaining all the observation
accumulated over years. It introduces new features (chemical
reactions occurring in the membranes exposed to the porating
electric pulses) that we have experimentally confirmed, thus fully
validating our model (submitted).
in nanoparticles, bridging the synthesis of new compounds to
nanoparticles formation and testing in vitro and in vivo.
The viral vectorology group develops its actvities on Oncolytic
adenovirus, control of Adenovirus tropism and toxicity, and
vaccination using epitope display strategy. Combining oncolytic
adenovirus (Ad) with HDACi led to reduction of colon carcinoma
compared to each treatment alone (Bressy et al in revision and
one international patent). A synergistic treatment between
oncolytic adenovirus and chemotherapies has been identified. In
collaboration with the group of S. Kochanek (Ulm), we described
new oncolytic Ad bearing an hexon mutation increasing tumor
cell targeting while reducing liver toxicity (Lucas et al. 2015).
We recently described that Ad displaying fibers from non-Ad5
serotypes were strongly uptaken by Kupffer cells leading to a
reduced hepatoxicity (Raddi et al. in revision). Our current work
also aims to decipher the molecular bases controlling the efficacy
of a vaccination strategy based on adenovirus (Ad) displaying
epitopes inserted into their capsid. In parallel, the capacity of
epitope display to elicit protective immune responses against
different pathogens is examined.
The chemical vectorology group has continued the investigation
on siRNA and “activated” old drugs (e.g. ifosfamide) formulated

Tumorigenesis and resistance to apoptosis in B lymphoma
Joëlle Wiels
Our research themes have stemmed from our study
of interactions and cellular communications in
nasopharyngeal carcinoma associated with the EpsteinBarr virus (NPC). In recent years, our themes became more
transversal. We mainly investigate the tumour exosomes as
immunosuppressive agents and tumour microRNAs as a
source of circulating biomarkers.
We have two main goals regarding galectin-9:
1) in terms of basic research, we investigate the mechanisms
of its immunosuppressive effects;
2) in terms of translational research, we work on the
characterisation and preclinical validation of anti-galectin-9
neutralising antibodies.
These antibodies may contribute to immune restoration
not only in NPC patients but also in several chronic
diseases like chronic active hepatitis B where there is an
abundant and inappropriate production of galectin-9 by
infected hepatocytes. Our research on circulating tumour
microRNAs concern NPC and ovarian carcinomas. We are
particularly interested in their potential for early assessment
of treatment response.
We have shown that NPC tumor exosomes are present in
the bloodstream and convey several immunomodulatory
proteins, including galectin-9 and the chemokine CCL20
(Klibi et al Blood 2009; JNCI Mrizak et al. 2014).

with resistance to anticancer drugs. Our goal is to study
molecular basis of action of tumour suppressor NPRL2 and
its partners from the SEA/GATOR complexes. The study is
conducted both in non-tumour and oncogenic cell lines and
in a model organism – yeast S.cerevisiae.
The highly conserved Target of Rapamycin Complex 1
(TORC1) controls eukaryotic cell growth and response to
a variety of signals, including nutrients, hormones and
stresses. The pathways that convey upstream signals to
TORC1 are frequently deregulated in various cancers. A
number of proteins that function upstream of TORC1 in the
response to different stresses are tumour suppressors.
Recently a novel upstream TORC1 regulator – the SEA/
GATOR multiprotein complex - has been identified. Cancerassociated inactivation of several SEA/GATOR members
have been found in various cancers.
The specific aims are the following:
- Role of the SEA/GATOR complex in the regulation of the
TORC1 pathway, autophagy and cancer development.
- The yeast SEA complex – study of the macromolecular
structure and the function in the cellular response to
metabolic and oxidative stresses.
- Molecular basis of the NPRL2 function in the resistance to
the anticancer drugs.
In addition, low expression of GATOR member, Nprl2,
in different types of lung carcinomas was correlated
Our research focuses on collective invasion of colorectal
carcinoma (CRC), the second leading cause of cancer
related death. We aim at identifying the signalling pathways
regulating collective invasion; the factors dictating single
cell or collective invasion mode (and whether tumour cell
can alternate between these strategies) and the respective
activities of leaders (protrusive cells at the front of the
group) and followers (cells at the back).
1) We use versatile models, such as cysts (derived from cell
lines) or organoïds/tumoroïds (generated from tumours) in
order to decipher the cellular and molecular mechanisms
underlying collective invasion.
2) As a collaborative work with clinicians, we investigate
tumour dissemination toward the peritoneal cavity
(peritoneal carcinomatosis, PC), the second metastatic
site in CRC patients. We work on fresh and fixed patients’
samples in order to understand the molecular bases of PC
and identify clinical tools to improve patients’ care.
We use molecular and cell biology approaches, combining
spinning disc confocal microscopy and 3D organotypic
cultures along two main research axes:

main subject of our group. Since, with the exception of DNA
methylation, most epigenetic information is encoded in
protein states, proteomics methodology is the approach of
choice for molecular epigenetics.
An important challenge of the postgenomic era is
understanding of the mechanisms of processing and coding
of epigenetic information. Epigenetic information comes in
addition to genetic information and is carried in molecular
structures other than DNA, but cannot be deduced from the
sequence of genome alone.
Chromatin, the hierarchically organised complex of
DNA, histones and non-histone proteins, is increasingly
recognised as the principal carrier of epigenetic
information. Our previous work and the planned projects
focus on development and use of proteomics tools to
study mechanisms of processing of epigenetic information
encoded in chromatin.
The role of epigenetic factors in many pathologies, in
particular, in oncogenesis, is increasingly appreciated.

Chromosomal translocations are a major cause of
lymphomas and leukaemias. Many of these translocations
involve immunoglobulin genes (Ig). Translocations often
occur during the immunoglobulin genes rearrangements in
the germinal center after B-cell export from bone marrow.
Three important B-cell differentiation events take place
in germinal centres: affinity maturation, class switching,
and formation of plasma cells and memory B-cells; at
every stage double stranded breakpoints and their repair
occur. These double stranded breaks are repaired by nonhomologous end-joining reparation in which a special ligase
joins ends of broken DNA. The most important condition for
this type of repair is spatial proximity of DNA ends to be
joined. In some cases ligase could choose “wrong” partner
for joining, which is located in close proximity and this event
would lead to translocations. We study the role of nuclear
organisation in the generation of specific translocations
in leukaemias with an emphasis on the role of oncogenic
viruses (HIV, EBV) in this process.
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a
common form of muscular dystrophy with prevalence
of 1 in 20,000. The disease has been causally related
to deletion of tandemly-arrayed 3.3 kb repeat units
on chromosome 4q35 possibly affecting chromatin
organisationand nearby gene expression. Consistently, it
has been observed that a number of genes mapping at
4q35 are over-expressed in the FSHD affected muscle. We
study the chromatin organisation of the 4q35 locus and its
role in epigenetic regulation of genes involved in FSHD and
use CRISPR/Cas9 technique to correct the genetic defect in
the 4q35 locus of FSHD patients.

we study the mechanisms involved in the inactivation of
p53 by its main interactor, MDM2, as well as the apoptotic
pathways induced by the re-activation of p53. We have
shown recently that the EBV-positive tumour cells are more
resistant to apoptosis than the EBV-negative ones and
that this resistance rely on two complementary processes
induced by EBV: overexpression of the Bcl-2 anti-apoptotic
protein and high level of autophagy.
Malignant cellular clones emerge as a result of a series
of events, among which, escape from apoptotic cell death
plays an important role. We are interested in two EpsteinBarr virus (EBV)-associated malignancies, namely Burkitt’s
lymphoma (BL) and post-transplant lymphoproliferative
disease (PTLD). In our work, we aim both at 1/ better
understand the mechanisms whereby blockades of
apoptosis could contribute to the oncogenesis of these
tumours; 2/ counteract these blockades or induce apoptosis
in these cells via alternative pathways and analyse the
corresponding molecular signals.
In this context, we analyse the apoptotic signalling pathways
induced by various ligands of a glycolipid antigen (Gb3/CD7)
which is highly expressed on BL cells. On the other hand,
Finally, using xenograft murine models, we have been able to
show the important role of Bcl-2 inhibitors in the treatment

mRNA translation, pioneer
translation products (PTPs), MHC class
I presentation, antigen processing,
tumour immune response.
We have started to answer the following question:
- Since REGγ is mainly present in the same location where
the PTPs are produced, meaning the nucleus, we have
decided to look at the role of this activator in the production
or degradation process of antigenic peptides in different
tumour cell lines.
- The fact that PTPs are derived from introns also raises
the possibility that these are presented from endogenous
mRNAs during central T cell selection in the thymus in
order to prevent immune reactions against tissue-specific
spicing products. These results also show for the first time
that there are different mRNA translation events giving rise
to peptides with specific functions. We now need to know if
PTPs are also a source for cross presentation.
It is intuitively appealing and virtually assumable that the rate
of mRNA translation directly controls antigen presentation.
However, we have been able to show that it is not the control
of full length protein synthesis that determines antigen
presentation but the synthesis of pioneer translation
products, PTPs.
This is the first time that we have an idea of what antigenic
peptides are and the fact that antigenic peptides to a large
degree are derived from PTP products produced during
the first scanning of any mRNAs and not from full length
proteins has several very interesting consequences.

The team has a national and international leadership in the
field of clinical research in kidney, prostate, bladder and testis
cancers. It plays a major role in developing innovative medicines
and introducing them in standard care, such as mTOR inhibitors,
anti-angiogenic compounds, immune checkpoint inhibitors and
other targeted therapies for kidney cancer, anti-androgen therapy
(abiraterone, enzalutamide, ODM-201) for prostate cancer. The
team has established the role of intensive chemotherapy as a
curative treatment for testis cancers. An innovative translational
research program explores the resistance mechanisms to
androgen deprivation drugs (MATCH-R prostate) and intratumour
heterogeneity in prostate cancer (PETRUS), as well as the use
of tumour molecular profiling to drive optimal treatment in
metastatic renal cancer. A new project in bladder cancer was
launched to evaluate immune therapies and the role of genomic
instability in resistance to chemotherapy. Finally, the team
coordinates CARARE, the French INCa labeled network for rare
renal cancers.

The team is internationally recognised for clinical and
translational research on thyroid cancer, adrenal gland
cancer and neuro-endocrine tumours (NET), all being
rare cancers. The team played a major role in the recent
development of targeted agents for thyroid cancers such as
lenvatinib, vandetanib, sorafenib and cabozantinib. Through
the ambitious GR-sponsored ESTIMABL program, the
team evaluates the best strategies for radioiodine ablation
in low risk thyroid cancer in terms of toxicity and medicoeconomic elements as well as the use of robotic surgery. The
team coordinates the TUTHYREF INCA-labeled rare cancer
network to speed up innovation for patients with relapsed or
refractory thyroid cancer. The team develops and coordinates
a large European academic research program evaluating
therapeutic strategies through stratifications of prognostic
factors and first academic international randomised trials
in adrenocortical carcinoma (FIRMACT), pheochromocytoma
(FIRSTMAPP) and NETs (OCLURANDOM). The team also
coordonates the COMETE (adrenal cancer) and TENpath (NET)
INCA- labeled rare cancer networks. In collaboration with
Inserm U1185, a translational research project studies the
molecular targets and mechanism of action of mitotane, the
only drug so far with activity in adrenal cancer. The endocrine
tumour board is currently implementing a personalised
therapy program in differentiated and medullary thyroid
carcinomas, adrenal tumours and NETs in collaboration with
INSERM units.

The team runs its activity in care and clinical research in
close collaboration with the Breast, GI, paediatrics and
Skin committees as well as with the Genetic Laboratory
within the Biopathology Department. The team develops
follow up and screening strategies for families with genetic
predisposition to cancer (BRCA, MMR, APC, TP53, CDH1,
adults and children) and leads large national projects such as
LIFSCREEN (randomised trial evaluating surveillance of TP53
families) and TUMOSPEC (assessing the clinical utility of a
set of “new” predisposition genes). The team coordinates the
national CDH1 group and is a major contributor to national
programs such as GENEPSO (BRCA cohorts), GENESIS (breast
cancer gene discovery), OFELY (Lynch syndrome observatory),
CMMRD and some programs of gene discovery, locally mainly
on melanoma predisposition.The team is involved in the
Gustave Roussy Precision cancer Medicine programs since
whole exome sequencing of tumour and germline identifies
incidentally mutations in genes which are or potentially
are predisposing genes. In addition, intervention trials are
developed, for example using PARP inhibitors in BRCA patients
or immunotherapy in patients with high mutator phenotype.
The committee collaborates to patient selection and handles
proper genetic counselling before and after recruitment of the
subjects.

developed with the paediatric Cancer Committee.
The team is an internationally recognised expert in the field
of care and research on soft tissue sarcomas and played a
major role in understanding GIST through the development
of targeted therapies and dynamic radiological tools.
Continuing efforts address the development of additional
innovative medicines/loco-regional approaches for this
rare cancer as well as defining the optimal therapeutic
strategy for sustained remissions. Along with Inserm

The team is a pioneer and international leader in the field of
molecular medicine for women with breast cancer and runs
a fully integrated clinical and translational research program
with UMR981 (Predictive multigenic biomarkers). The proof
of concept was made with the SAFIR01 trial showing the
feasibility of tumour molecular profiling in metastatic patients,
followed by the ongoing SAFIR02 trial matching molecular
alterations with a panel of targeted agents in the adjuvant
setting. The team leads several trials aiming at refining and
improving adjuvant treatments based on molecular profiles,
including the introduction of new anticancer agents. The
molecular medicine program is further developed in both
the preoperative setting, in order to early identify molecular
alterations to drive therapeutic decision, as well as the highrisk personalised prevention program being launched within
the Gustave Roussy strategic plan. Innovative technologies are
developed through robotic surgery for breast re-construction,
algorithms for more precised and better targeted radiation
therapy and innovative imaging for breast cancer screening.
The team leads a large national project, CANTO, exploring long
term toxicities in women with low risk breast cancer. The team
is a national leader in the field of breast cancer clinical and
translational research (UNiCANCER) and plays a key role in the
Breast international group (BIG).

The team works in strong collaboration with neurosurgical
departments, mainly Saint Anne Hospital and Kremlin Bicêtre
University Hospital, where patients are operated on. The team
explores the use of functional imaging in improving high precision
radiation therapy of primary and secondary brain tumours,
contributes actively to EORTC clinical trials in brain tumours.
The team collaborates actively with the paediatric Cancers team
with regard to the development of precision radiation therapy,
as well as with the DITEP. Our goal is to significantly speed up
the development of innovative therapeutics for adult patients
with brain tumours (from the youngest to the oldest) through an
increased participation in early phase trials and the development
of a systematic tumour molecular profiling in collaboration
with neuropathologists and biologists. Our vision is to combine
and integrate all scientific innovations, for the direct interest of
patients.

The clinical research program addresses the development
of innovative treatments in ovarian, endometrial and cervical
cancers, including very rare entities such as leiomyosarcomas
(role of trabectedin) through a multidisciplinary approach. Team
members co-coordinate the INCa labeled networks on rare
gynaecological malignancies and cancer during pregnancy.
In addition, a team member leads an innovative translational
research program exploring DNA repair in resistance to cisplatinand PARP inhibitors-based therapies taking advantage of access
to sequential tumour samples. The team has already introduced
biomarkers in routine diagnosis such as B-RAF in Borderline
tumours, K-RAS and HER2 in mucinous cancer and FoxL2 in
granulosa tumours, as well as JAZF1 and YWHA1 translocations
in endometrial sarcomas. Recently, they unraveled the role of
SMARCA4 in small cell ovarian carcinoma, a very rare entity.
Prospective studies in radiation oncology aim at therapeutic
optimisation in cervical cancer through image-guided adaptive
brachytherapy, as well as innovative chemoradiation in cervical
cancer using HPV targeting drugs. Prospective studies in surgery
aim at therapeutic optimisation in ovarian cancer through an
histology-driven treatment algorithm including sequential
tumor sampling to characterise the chemo-resistant ovarian
cancer cells (PHRC 2015), and to evaluate the role of tumour
microenvironment in the primary tumour and the synchronous
metastatic lesions (EOC-IO project). In addition, the robotic
surgery offers new strategies in cervical and endometrial cancer.

Research in psycho-oncology is characterized by the
consideration of psychological factors in the interaction
with the patient environment (for example, the study of
communication between the physician and the patient,
researches on the psychological and emotional impact
of social support, or on the psychological determining
factors of quality of life). Psycho-oncology also studies the
interconnection between psychopathological factors in the
experience of illness, and the help and support processes.
Matching psycho-oncology researches with clinical practice
is the guarantee of the operationalization of the results and
of an efficient translational research.

• Objectives and mission: :
The Clinical Research Operations Unit (SORC) is responsible
for the conduct of all type of studies at Gustave Roussy
promoted by academic and industrial sponsors. Team
facilitation is essential for helping investigator site address
processes and protocol requirements. SORC coordinates all
stakeholders throughout the study and facilitates information
exchange among sponsor/Contract Research organisation
(CRO), investigators, technical facilities, research subjects, the
subject’s representatives for assuring data collection quality, in
compliance with all regulations (ICH-GCP, European Directive..
etc) and SOPs related to research involving human subjects.
In view of the growing impact of patients’ satisfaction, team
is playing a key role in a comprehension of clinical trials
environment, patient care, compliance and is dedicated contact
to ensure care coordination in this context.
Accelerating therapeutic innovation and increase patient access
to novel molecules requires major changes and challenges in
the standard paradigms of clinical trials. Our team provides
both the operational expertise and the flexibility needed not
only to ensure patient safety, accurate data and high quality
operational delivery as center of excellence but also to reduce
costs and time while increasing productivity.

the following projects: REISAMIC (vigilance of cancer
immune therapies), VIGICAIRE (vigilance and observation
of off label use in paediatric auto-immune cytopenias) and
VIGINOM (vigilance of innovative medicines entering true life
after their marketing authorisation).
• Summary:
The Pharmacovigilance Unit (UFPV) of the Gustave Roussy
Clinical Research Division evaluates in real-time the
safety of investigational medicinal products used in more
than 70 clinical trials sponsored by Gustave Roussy and
other academic sponsors in the Ile-de-France Region. The
monitoring of investigational health products is carried out
with great care to detect possible drug side effects.
The UFPV conducts this assessment according to current
French and European regulatory requirements (in particular
the European Directive 2001/20/EC), to ensure the safety
of patients, both adults and children, included in phase I
to III trials. This applies to trials involving chemotherapy,
immunotherapy, radiotherapy, medical devices, gene or cell
therapy and trials of treatment strategy, diagnosis, surgery
and/or intensive care.
This unit comprises physicians and pharmacists and is
equipped with dedicated software (Safety Easy), which has
an interface with the EudraVigilance pharmacovigilance
data-base of the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
• Certification
In 2007 the unit obtained an ISO 9001 certificate for its
pharmacovigilance activities in clinical trials. This was
the first academic pharmacovigilance organisation to be
certified in France. Since then the UFPV certificate has been
renewed at each annual follow-up inspection performed by
AFAQ, the certifying authority (French Association of Quality
Assurance).

The DITEP department runs the early phase trial program in adults and provides rapid access to early innovation to cancer
patients. It was re-labelled Early Phase Center (CLIP²) by the French National Cancer Institute in 2015. The team is one of the
7 international leaders in the field. The trials portfolio is composed of First-In-Human trials, phase 1 and phase 1/2 trials of
new anticancer drugs (single agents and combinations). The focus is on drugs targeting oncogenic drivers (EGFR, FGFR, MET,
NOTCH, ALK,…), immune effectors (anti-PD1/-PDL1 mAbs, ...), epigenetic (EZH2, BET,..) and metabolic (IDH,…) alterations
in solid tumours and haematological malignancies. The team played a major role in the development of several TKIs and
immunomodulators among other innovative compounds. New drug development is embedded into the Precision and Molecular
medicine program and the Immunotherapy program based on re-biopsying patient’s tumour and collecting circulating DNA
before entry into early phase trials. In the GR-sponsored MOSCATO trial (1000 patients so far), next generating sequencing,
whole exome and RNA sequencing, analysis of immunocontexture (including mutations load and search for neo-antigens) are
used to identify targetable molecular alterations for all patients and to build a large clinical-biological database for discovery
research . The GR-sponsored MATCH-R trial explores the mechanism of resistance under treatment with targeting agents
through repeated sequential biopsies for molecular profiling and generation of tumour models (in vitro cell lines, patientderived xenografts). The DITEP works in close collaboration with each organ-oriented clinical research team as well as with
the the paediatric phase I team within the CLIP². Translational research projects are implemented with UMR981 on biomarker
discovery and validation.

The platform is in charge of the analysis of very rare cells
in peripheral blood such as circulating tumour cells (CTCs)
and circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and the detection of
plasmatic biomarkers such as angiogenic factors. CTCs and
CECs (including mature CECs and circulating endothelial
progenitors (CEPs)) are enumerated and characterised using
either standardized approaches such as the CellSearch, or
more original techniques developed in the laboratory. Studies
on the clinical value of these cell populations are conducted
in the context of monocentric or multicentric clinical trials. In
collaboration with European or French consortiums the platform
evaluate and develop novel techniques for characterised these
cell populations.
The CTC team is more focused on the molecular characterization
of CTCs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and prostate cancer
(PCa). Original approaches have been established to characterise
CTCs isolated on filters by combining immunofluorescence
staining and FISH or by laser-microdissection of CTCs and
their analysis at the single cell level. In NSCLC, research are
focused on the characterisation of CTCs harbouring predictive
biomarkers such as ALK and ROS1 rearrangement or activating
EGFR mutations as well as the analysis of acquired resistance
mutations to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in CTCs. In PCa, the
project is oriented on the characterization of CTCs harbouring
key prostate biomarkers such androgen receptor (AR)
amplification and ERG translocation, and the identification of
novel biomarkers by exome sequencing of CTCs at the single cell
level. Patient derived xenografts models starting with CTCs are
also established in order to study and characterise the tumour
initiating cell capacity of CTCs.

The Biological Resource Centre contains 3 modules (CRB
Tissu for cell and tissue samples, ET EXTRA for fluids and
Predisposition for blood and derived products from patients
with predisposition syndromes).
Samples come from patients managed in Gustave Roussy,
enrolled in clinical trials or considered informative by
clinicians or pathologists. All patients have signed an
informed consent. The Biological Resource Centre is
equipped for the collection, preparation (pre-analytical
techniques, microdissection) and storage of frozen material
and FPPE tissue samples. The transfer of material to
research programs is made on the basis of a justified
request, after verification of the patient consent.

Built within the Paris Alliance of Cancer Research
Institutes (PACRI), the BioCELL platform works in
concert with INSERM UMR1138 “APOPTOSIS, CANCER
& IMMUNITY” to investigate the molecular and cellular
mechanisms of cell stress and cell death. The mode of
cellular stress and death that is evoked during cancer
treatment has profound therapeutic implications. A
systematic search has been launched to identify molecular
switches that “decide” which particular cell stress or cell
death subroutine is preferentially executed. In addition,
cancer cell death modalities and their impact on the
immune system are analysed in a systematic fashion to
develop strategies that improve the chances of therapeutic
success.
The BioCELL platform at Gustave Roussy is used as a
hub to conduct screening approaches, as it offers fully
automated cell biology workflows that allow for the
phenotypic screening of large-scale compound and
siRNA libraries necessary to conduct systems biology
oriented research. The unique design of the platform
allows for extremely flexible assay design and multiplexing
as it integrates automated cell culture and compound
management with three different fully automated high
content analysis systems via an industrial robot.
