Hypoxia modulates CCR7 expression in head and neck cancers

Basheer, Haneen A., Pakanavicius, E., Cooper, Patricia A., Shnyder, Steven, Martin, L., Hunter, K.D., Vinader, Victoria, Afarinkia, Kamyar 04 April 2018 (has links)
Yes / The chemokine receptor CCR7 is expressed on lymphocytes and dendritic cells and is responsible for trafficking of these cells in and out of secondary lymphoid organs. It has recently been shown that CCR7 expression is elevated in a number of cancers, including head and neck cancers, and that its expression correlates to lymph node (LN) metastasis. However, little is known about the factors that can induce CCR7 expression in head and neck cancers. We compared the protein expression and functional responses of CCR7 under normoxia and hypoxia in head and neck cancer cell lines OSC-19, FaDu, SCC-4, A-253 and Detroit-562 cultured as monolayers, spheroids, and grown in vivo as xenografts in balb/c mice. In addition, we analysed the correlation between hypoxia marker HIF-1α and CCR7 expression in a tissue microarray comprising 80 clinical samples with various stages and grades of malignant tumour and normal tissue. Under hypoxia, the expression of CCR7 is elevated in both in vitro and in vivo models. Furthermore, in malignant tissue, a correlation is observed between hypoxia marker HIF-1α and CCR7 across all clinical stages. This correlation is also strong in early histological grade of tumours. Hypoxia plays a role in the regulation of the expression of CCR7 and it may contribute to the development of a metastatic phenotype in head and neck cancers through this axis.

Dépistage du cancer du sein : facteurs socio-économiques influençant la participation et rythme de suivi / Breast cancer screening : socioeconomic factors influencing the participation and screening round adequacy

Ouedraogo, Samiratou 21 October 2013 (has links)
Les travaux réalisés dans le cadre de cette thèse avaient pour objectifs :- déterminer les facteurs socio-économiques individuels et collectifs influençant la participation des femmes au dépistage organisé du cancer du sein, - étudier les facteurs individuels influençant l’adéquation du rythme de suivi des femmes selon leur niveau de risque, - analyser l’importance du dépistage et du suivi médical sur le stade de découverte des tumeurs. Les résultats des travaux ont montré que les femmes qui habitaient dans des zones économiquement défavorisées ou dans des zones rurales, celles affiliées au Régime Social des Indépendants ainsi que celles habitant à plus de 15 minutes d’un cabinet de radiologie participaient moins au dépistage organisé du cancer du sein. Les femmes qui avaient un suivi gynécologique régulier ainsi que celles qui avaient une activité professionnelle faisaient plus souvent des mammographies à titre individuel ou cumulaient les deux types de dépistage. Les résultats de nos travaux ont également montré qu’un dépistage et un suivi médical régulier permettaient la découverte de cancers du sein à des stades précoces, le recours plus fréquent à des traitements par chirurgie et radiothérapie et à moins de traitement par chimiothérapie néo-adjuvante. Les femmes suivies dans le cadre du dépistage organisé du cancer du sein et celles qui avaient un suivi gynécologique régulier avaient plus de chances d’avoir un rythme de dépistage conforme aux recommandations. Afin de tirer un maximum de profit du dépistage organisé du cancer du sein peut-être faudrait-il impliquer beaucoup plus les médecins dans le programme de dépistage. / Mammography screening allowed breast tumors detection in early stage while treatments are less aggressive. Despite the fact that organized mammography screening has been free of charge for the target population since 2004 in France, the participation rate to the programme remains low.The aim of the studies was to investigate individual and area-level socioeconomic factors explaining low breast cancer screening attendance, individual factors influencing mammography screening round adequacy and to assess the evidence of screening round adequacy in the discovery of breast tumors.The results showed that women living in most deprived areas or rural areas, those covered by self-employed insurance scheme and those living at more than 15 minutes from an accredited screening centre were less likely to attend organized breast cancer screening. Women with a regular screening and medical follow-up were more likely to be diagnosed with an early stage tumor.Attendance to mammography screening and regular medical follow up lead to have tumors discovered at an early stage, to be treated by surgery and radiotherapy and to receive less neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This supposes to be screened in the organized mammography screening programme and to have regular gynecological follow-up.
