Metabolism, cancer and immune responses

Research topics

The team is studying the importance of the energetic metabolism in the development and response of B-cell lymphomas and angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphomas subject to chemotherapeutic treatments and to treatments with metabolic inhibitors.

OBJECTIVES

Determining if the targeting of the energetic metabolism represents a therapeutic option for patients suffering from a certain type of B or T-cell lymphoma and presenting a resistance to current treatments.

KEY WORDS

Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL), Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphomas (AITL), energetic metabolisms, glycolysis, mitochondrion, metabolic inhibitor, biomarker.

EXPERTISE

Targets

  • Glycolysis pathway
  • Mitochondrial metabolism
  • Amino acid pathway
  • Lipid pathway

Models

  • In vitro: human lineages of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas
  • Non-frozen samples from patients for which there is a suspicion of lymphoma development
  • Mouse model of a non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma
  • Humanised mouse

Tissue biomarker

Prognostic biomarker of the response to R-CHOP as well as of the metabolic state of a patient suffering from B-cell lymphoma.

Innovating technologies

  • Metabolomics and carbon tracing
  • Metabolism studies (Seahorse, metabolite production/consumption measurement…)
  • Development of viral tools to transduce T and B stem cells
