Defining the role of Notch signalling in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Guest, Rachel Victoria January 2015 (has links)
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is an aggressive malignancy with a dismal prognosis. Few patients present with disease amenable to resection and chemotherapy is not curative. The incidence of ICC is rising worldwide and new therapeutic approaches are urgently required. Notch signalling is critical for the embryological development and regeneration of the biliary tree in the mammalian liver. Dysregulation of Notch is known to drive tumorigenesis in a range of solid and haematological malignancies and the aim of this work was to define its contribution to the pathogenesis of ICC. Transgenic overexpression of Notch1 has been described to result in the formation of biliary lineage tumours in the liver. I have used resected human tissue, a chemically-induced model of ICC in rat and a novel transgenic murine model in which the tumour suppressor p53 is conditionally deleted from biliary epithelia, to demonstrate that endogenous Notch signalling is acting via the Notch3 receptor to drive tumorigenesis. I use multiple independent methods of Notch3 blockade to establish that Notch3 promotes epithelial cell survival and self-renewal in ICC and demonstrate that Notch3 inhibition significantly attenuates tumour growth in vivo. My data suggest that Notch3 promotes activity through the PI3K/AKT cell survival cascade via a mechanism independent of the effector of canonical Notch, RBPJκ. Given the significant toxicity associated with gamma-secretase inhibitors these findings offer a novel and specific target for further investigation and future therapeutic development in ICC.

Pronostic du cholangiocarcinome intrahépatique réséqué / Prognosis of resected intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Doussot, Alexandre 08 December 2017 (has links)
Introduction. Alors qu’elle constitue le seul traitement curatif du cholangiocarcinome intrahépatique (CCIH), la résection reste associée à un taux de récidive supérieur à 60% et un taux de survie réelle à 5 ans inférieur à 20%. Une estimation fiable du pronostic ainsi qu’une meilleure compréhension de la biologie tumorale est essentielle pour améliorer le pronostic.Méthodes. A l’appui des données clinico-biologiques de deux larges cohortes de patients avec CCIH réséqué (MSKCC, n=189 et AFC, n=522), trois objectifs ont été explorés. Tout d’abord, définir quel modèle pronostique publié est le plus performant. Ensuite, définir la fiabilité de l’évaluation pronostique préopératoire à partir de, respectivement, l’imagerie, des microARN (miR) circulants diagnostiques et du profil génomique tumoral. Enfin, évaluer l’impact pronostique de la survenue d’événements périopératoires tels que transfusion et morbidité.Résultats. Premièrement, les nomogrammes apportaient une meilleure estimation pronostique en comparaison à la classification AJCC 7ème édition. Deuxièmement, la taille et la multifocalité tumorale sur l’imagerie préopératoire permettaient de différencier deux groupes de patients de pronostic clairement distincts (p<0,001). L’existence d’une mutation d’un gène de remodelage de la chromatine (BAP1, ARID1A, PBRM1) tendait à être associé à une survie sans récidive plus favorable qu’en l’absence de mutation (p=0,09). Alors qu’ayant un potentiel comme marqueur diagnostique circulant, miR21 et miR221 n’étaient pas associé à la survie. Troisièmement, la transfusion peropératoire n’impactait pas la survie à long terme alors que la survenue d’une complication sévère (grade Dindo-Clavien > 2) était indépendamment associée à une survie globale plus courte (p=0,002).Conclusion. Alors que les nomogrammes postopératoires apportent une meilleure estimation pronostique, le développement de modèles pronostiques préopératoires est faisable notamment à partir de l’imagerie et de marqueurs biologiques tumoraux complémentaires. / Introduction. Complete resection stands as the only curative option for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC). Still, prognosis remains poor after resection due to a recurrence rate over 60% leading to actual 5-year survival rates below 20%. Reliable prognostic estimation and better understanding of tumor biology would be of interest for improving IHCC prognosis.Methods. Using clinical and biological data from two large cohort of resected IHCC (MSKCC, n=189 and AFC, n=522), three objectives have been explored. First, assessing the performances of different published prognostic models. Second, defining the reliability of preoperative prognostic estimation using imaging, tumoral genomic profiling and circulating tumoral microRNA (miR). Third, evaluating the prognostic impact of perioperative events such as blood transfusion and morbidity.Results. First, nomograms displayed better prognostic accuracy over the AJCC 7th edition staging system. Second, tumor size and multifocality on preoperative imaging allowed patient stratification in groups statistically different regarding prognosis (p<0.001). Further, the presence of chromatine remodeling gene mutations (BAP1, ARID1A, PBRM1) tended towards longer recurrence-free survical (p=0,09). Some diagnostic circulating miR such as miR21 and miR221 were not associated with survival. Third, in contrast with intraoperative transfusion, the occurrence of severe morbidity (Dindo-Clavien grade > 2) was independently associated with shorter overall survival (p=0.002).Conclusion. Nomograms outperform conventional staging sytem. Preoperative prognostic estimation is feasible and reliable using imaging. Identifying new prognostic biomarkers would help refining preoperative prognostic estimation.
