To unequivocally address their unresolved intimate structures in blood, we scrutinized the size distribution of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) from both double- and single-strand library preparations (DSP SSP, n = 7) quantitative PCR (Q-PCR, 116). The profile healthy individuals was remarkably homogenous when DSP or SSP sequencing. CfDNA had a characteristic nucleosome fragmentation pattern. Overall, our data indicate that proportion cfDNA inserted...

We analyzed ctDNA of patients randomized the phase III IDEA-France trial. Experimental Design: was tested for WIF1 and NPY by droplet digital PCR with method developed validated colorectal Disease-free survival (DFS) overall (OS) were via multivariable analysis samples sub-groups according to treatment duration (3/6 months) disease stage (high/low-risk III)....
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are important clinical indicators for prognosis and treatment efficacy. However, CTC investigation is hampered by their low number, making the establishment of permanent lines very challenging. We derived characterized nine using blood samples from a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer collected before after chemotherapy targeted therapy, during progression. These cell displayed an intermediate epithelial/mesenchymal phenotype, stem-cell like...
Abstract BACKGROUND Unraveling the molecular mechanisms that regulate biology of metastasis-competent circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is urgently needed to understand metastasis formation and relapse. Our group previously established first cell line (CTC-MCC-41) derived from CTCs a patient with colon cancer. METHODS In this study, we analyzed transcriptome CTC-MCC-41 using Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays aim unraveling basis their special features (stem properties ability initiate...
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are highly effective in patients with microsatellite instability/mismatch repair-deficient (MSI/dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria may underestimate response to ICIs due the pseudoprogression phenomenon. The GERCOR NIPICOL phase II study aimed evaluate frequency of pseudoprogressions MSI/dMMR mCRC treated nivolumab and ipilimumab. Methods Patients previously...
(1) Background: Oxaliplatin is among the most neurotoxic anticancer drugs. Little data are available on long-term prevalence and consequences of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), even though third largest population cancer survivors made up colorectal cancer. (2) Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted in 16 French centers to assess CIPN, as well its (neuropathic pain, anxiety, depression, quality life) during 5 years after end adjuvant oxaliplatin...
We postulate that a significant part of circulating DNA (cirDNA) originates in the degradation neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). In this study, we examined plasma level two markers NETs (myeloperoxidase (MPO) and elastase (NE)), as well cirDNA levels 219 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), 114 healthy individuals (HI). found mCRC content these analytes was (i) highly correlated, (ii) all statistically different (p < 0.0001) than HI (N = 114). These three may readily...

Subpopulations of cancer stem-like cells (CSC) are thought to drive tumor progression and posttreatment recurrence in multiple solid tumors. However, the mechanisms that maintain stable proportions self-renewing CSC within heterogeneous tumors under homeostatic conditions remain poorly understood. Progastrin is a secreted peptide exhibits tumor-forming potential colorectal cancer, where it regulates pathways known modulate colon behaviors. In this study, we investigated role progastrin...
Triplet chemotherapy plus cetuximab showed promising results in phase II trials unsystematically selected RAS population. We evaluated FOLFIRINOX+cetuximab efficacy as first-line treatment extended wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients.
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are recommended to treat patients with deficient mismatch repair/microsatellite instability high (dMMR/MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Pivotal trials have fixed a maximum ICI duration of 2 years, without compelling rationale. A shorter treatment has the potential improve patients' quality life and reduce both toxicity cost compromising efficacy. Here we examine whether early discontinuation (ETD) before 13 months in progressive...

Abstract Despite recent advances in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), tumor resistance is a frequent cause chemotherapy failure. Therefore, new options are needed to improve survival patients with irinotecan-refractory CRCs, particularly those bearing KRAS mutations that preclude use anti-EGFR therapies. In this study, we investigated whether sorafenib could reverse irinotecan resistance, thereby enhancing therapeutic efficacy routinely used irinotecan-based chemotherapy. We both...

As circulating DNA (cirDNA) is mainly detected as mononucleosome-associated (mono-N cirDNA) in blood, apoptosis has until now been considered the main source of cirDNA. The mechanism cirDNA release into circulation, however, still not fully understood. This work addresses that knowledge gap, working from postulate neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) may be a cirDNA, and by investigating whether NET directly produce mono-N
