Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the prognosis of neuroblastoma.
- Neuroblastoma is in frequency the second cause of solid tumor in children after brain tumors. Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer in children before the age of five and accounts for around 15% of cancers before this age.
- Neuroblastomas are malignant tumors developed from neuroblasts born from the neural crest and migrating to form the sympathetic glands and the adrenal medulla during the embryonic and fetal period.
- this assessment includes: examinations by samples (blood, urine),> various radiological examinations which aim to properly locate the tumor, its limits and its size (scintigraphy, ultrasound and / or scanner and / or MRI), microscopic examinations of tumor fragments to find out exactly what type of tumor it is
- various radiological examinations which aim to properly locate the tumor, its limits and its size (scintigraphy, ultrasound and / or scanner and / or MRI), microscopic examinations of tumor fragments to find out exactly what type of tumor it is
- loco-regional treatments surgery and radiotherapy
- chemotherapy general treatments
- the treatment of the patient can be adapted according to the prognosis of the neuroblastoma and the therapeutic strategy can be very different depending on the stage and the genetic characterization of the tumor cells.
- the treatment in the localized forms whose tumor cells do not carry any character of bad prognosis, the treatment is essentially critical while in localized forms whose tumor cells have a poor prognosis, treatment should be more aggressive, based on chemotherapy and local radiotherapy.
- there are at present different classifications of neuroblastoma making it possible to define prognostic groups as precisely as possible. These groups theoretically make it possible to define the therapeutic indications in a manner adapted to the risk of the disease.
- stage 1 localized tumor completely removed annacroscopically; homo and contralateral nodes examined and negative microscopically> stage 2A: unilateral tumor removed incompletely with homo and contralateral nodes examined and negative. stage 2B: unilateral tumor with homolateral and non-contralateral lymph node involvement. > stage 3: non-operable unilateral tumor showing an overstepping of the midline or unilateral tumor with lymph node involvement or tumor straddling the midline with bilateral extension by infiltration or lymphadenopathy. stage 4: primary tumor with distant dissemination: lymph node, bone, medullary, hepatic.
- stage 4S local stage 1 or 2 tumor with limited spread to the liver, skin or bone marrow.
- the 4S stages are children aged less than one year.
- the prognosis of a neuroblatoma can be established by the study of different factors: 1) the amplification of the N-myc oncogene is considered as a reference tool, and is used by most pediatric oncologists to define , at the time of diagnosis, patients who must receive intensive miotherapy followed by marrow transplant (Seeger et al, N Engl J Med. 1985; 313 (18): III-6; Rubie et al J Clin Oncol. 1997 Mar; 15 (3): 1171-82.).
- LDH lactate dehydrogenase
- the level of LDH could also be an independent prognostic factor and predominant for the localized stages I to read in the child of more than one year, and less importantly in the child of less '' one year with stage IV (Berthold et al, Am J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 1994; 16 (2): 107-15).
- the correlation between the amplification of the N-myc oncogene and the prognosis of neuroblastoma is not absolute (Maris & Matthay, J Clin Oncol, 1999, 17 (7): 2264-2279).
- the present invention proposes to solve all the drawbacks of the state of the art by presenting a new neuroblastoma prognosis tool.
- the inventors have demonstrated that the prognosis of a neuroblastoma can be determined by analysis of the expression of target genes selected from 37 genes as presented in Table 1 below, which are expressed differentially depending on whether the patient has a good or a poor prognosis.
- the present invention relates to a method for the prognosis of neuroblastoma in a patient suffering from neuroblastoma, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: a. biological material is extracted from a biological sample taken from the patient, b. the biological material is brought into contact with at least one specific reagent chosen from the specific reagents of the target genes having a nucleic sequence having any of SEQ ID Nos. 1 to 37, it being understood that when the target gene has a sequence nucleic acid having one of SEQ ID Nos.
- the biological material is brought into contact with at least two specific reagents chosen from the reagents specific for target genes having a nucleic sequence having any of SEQ ID N ° 1 to 37, c. determining the expression of at least one of said target genes, it being understood that when the target gene has a nucleic sequence having one of SEQ ID No. 11 5 17 or 37, determining the expression of at least two of said target genes
- the term “biological sample” is understood to mean any sample taken from a patient, and likely to contain biological material as defined below.
- This biological sample can in particular be a sample of blood, serum, saliva, tissue, tumor, bone marrow, circulating cells of the patient
- This biological sample is available by any type of sample known to those skilled in the art.
- the biological sample taken from the patient is a tissue sample, preferably a tumor or bone marrow sample.
- the term “biological material” means any material making it possible to detect the expression of a target gene.
- the biological material can in particular comprise proteins, or nucleic acids such as in particular deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) or ribonucleic acids (RNA).
- the nucleic acid can in particular be an RNA (ribonucleic acid).
- the biological material comprises nucleic acids, preferably, RNAs, and even more preferably total RNAs.
- Total RNA includes transfer RNA, messenger RNA (mRNA), such as mRNA transcribed from the target gene, but also transcribed from any other gene and ribosomal RNA.

- This technique allows the attachment of probes ranging in size from a few bases (5 to 10) to relatively large sizes from 60 bases (printing) to a few hundred bases (microdeposition): • Printing is an adaptation of the process used by inkjet printers. It is based on the propulsion of very small spheres of fluid (volume ⁇ 1 ni) and at a rate of up to 4000 drops / second. Printing does not involve any contact between the system releasing the fluid and the surface on which it is deposited. Microdeposition consists in fixing probes long from a few tens to several hundred bases to the surface of a glass slide. These probes are generally extracted from databases and come in the form of amplified and purified products.
- Photohthography is a process behind the biochips developed by Affymetrix. It is also an in situ synthesis. PhotoUthography is derived from microprocessor techniques. The surface of the chip is modified by h fixing photolabile chemical groups which can be activated by light. Once illuminated, these groups are likely to react with the 3 'end of an ohgonucleotide.

- the total reaction volume was 15 ⁇ l.
- the PCR amplification was carried out in 96-well microplates, using the ABI Prism 7000 Sequence Detection system (Apphed BioSystem USA).
- the reference gene HPRT1 and the target gene were analyzed simultaneously After 10 min of denaturation at 95 ° C, ramification was carried out according to the following conditions: 40 cycles of 15 seconds at 95 ° C followed by 1 minute at 60 ° C.
- the experiments were carried out in duphcat
- the quantification was carried out by the use of the method of the standard curves and the use of the comparative method CT as recommended by the manufacturer. Standard curves were obtained from dilution of cDNA from neuroblastoma cell lines, and performed for each PCR.
- the expression of the target gene was determined by the use of these standard curves.
- the relative expression of each target gene was defined by comparison with the expression of the reference gene.
- the Pearson and Spearman correlation tests were used to calculate the correlation between the results obtained on a chip, and the results obtained by RTPCR The results are presented in the table below.
- the inventors also defined more restricted gene panels which also make it possible to disramine patients with good and poor prognosis.
- a first panel included 19 genes which are presented in Table 4. The results are expressed by the ratio obtained between the average expression of the gene in MP patients and the expression of the gene in BP patients (ratio MP / BP). The inventors also studied the simultaneous expression of these 19 genes to obtain an expression profile. The results are presented in FIG. 2. We observe on this dendogram two groups having two different expression profiles: a first group making it possible to classify patients with good prognosis (BP) and a second group making it possible to classify patients with poor prognosis (MP). In order to validate the discriminating power of these 19 genes, 6 tumors of "test” patients were analyzed without prior knowledge of their prognosis. Thus, the six “MP-test” and “BP-test” tumors presented in FIG.
- a second panel included 16 genes as presented in table 5.
- the inventors also studied the simultaneous expression of these 16 genes to obtain an expression profile.
- the results are presented in FIG. 3.
- BP good prognosis
- MP poor prognosis
- a third panel included 12 genes as presented in Table 6.
- the inventors also studied the simultaneous expression of these 12 genes to obtain an expression profile.
- the results are presented in FIG. 4.
- We observe on this dendogram two groups having two different expression profiles: a first group allowing to classify patients with good prognosis (BP) and a second group making it possible to classify patients with poor prognosis (MP).
- BP good prognosis
- MP poor prognosis
- a fourth panel included 9 genes as presented in table 7.
- the inventors also studied the simultaneous expression of these 9 genes to obtain an expression profile.
- the results are presented in FIG. 5.
- We observe on this dendogram two groups having two different expression profiles: a first group making it possible to classify patients with good prognosis (BP) and a second group making it possible to classify patients with poor prognosis (MP).
