Anti-Ly6G binding and trafficking mediate positive neutrophil selection to unleash the anti-tumor efficacy of radiation therapy

Etienne Meylan, Gael Luis Boivin, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat, Pierre-Benoit Bernard Ancey

The anti-Ly6G antibody is used to deplete Ly6G(pos) neutrophils and study their role in diverse pathologies. However, depletion is never absolute, as Ly6G(low) neutrophils resistant to depletion rapidly emerge. Studying the functionality of these residual ...

GLUT1 Expression in Tumor-Associated Neutrophils Promotes Lung Cancer Growth and Resistance to Radiotherapy

Nadine Fournier, Etienne Meylan, Gael Luis Boivin, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat, Justine Pascual, Pierre-Benoit Bernard Ancey, Silvia Sabatino

Neutrophils are the most abundant circulating leucocytes and are essential for innate immunity. In cancer, pro- or antitumor properties have been attributed to tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN). Here, focusing on TAN accumulation within lung tumors, we id ...

Metabolic plasticity and glucose transporter redundancy dictate lung adenocarcinoma growth

Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat

Lung cancers represent the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. These pulmonary cancers count several histological subgroups, whose non-small cell lung cancers, subject of our study. We were precisely interested in the most common subtype of n ...

Combined deletion of Glut1 and Glut3 impairs lung adenocarcinoma growth

Rolf Gruetter, Anders Meibom, Graham Knott, Bernard Lanz, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Nadine Fournier, Mario Gaetano Lepore, Etienne Meylan, Louise Helene Soegaard Jensen, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat

Glucose utilization increases in tumors, a metabolic process that is observed clinically by F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18-FDG-PET). However, is increased glucose uptake important for tumor cells, and which transporters are impl ...

Durable and controlled depletion of neutrophils in mice

Etienne Meylan, Julien Robert Rémi Faget, Gael Luis Boivin, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat, Jessica Christine Vazquez, Justine Pascual, Pierre-Benoit Bernard Ancey, Aspasia Gkasti

Neutrophils are an essential part of the innate immune system. To study their importance, experimental studies often aim to deplete these cells, generally by injecting anti-Ly6G or anti-Gr1 antibodies. However, these approaches are only partially effective ...

RANKL Signaling Sustains Primary Tumor Growth in Genetically Engineered Mouse Models of Lung Adenocarcinoma

Nadine Fournier, Etienne Meylan, Julien Robert Rémi Faget, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat

INTRODUCTION: NSCLC is the leading cause of cancer mortality. Recent retrospective clinical analyses suggest that blocking the receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) signaling pathway inhibits the growth of NSCLC and might represent a new treatment strategy. M ...

Glucose transporters in cancer - from tumor cells to the tumor microenvironment

Etienne Meylan, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat, Pierre-Benoit Bernard Ancey

Solute carriers of the glucose transporter (GLUT) family mediate the first step for cellular glucose usage. The upregulation of GLUTs has been reported in numerous cancer types as a result of perturbation of gene expression or protein relocalization or sta ...
