Résumé du thème de recherche de l’équipe
Our long-term goals are to (i) participate in the global effort to complete the human proteome with
emphasis on testicular proteins, (ii) unravel genetic causes for male infertility and develop better
diagnostic tools to identify patients suitable for assisted reproductive technology, (iii) identify and
characterize novel testicular genes that encode suitable target proteins for the development of anti-
cancer immunotherapy approaches (Cancer/Testis genes), (iv) study mechanisms controlling cell
division and differentiation that involve DNA binding regulatory proteins, the exoribonucleases
Rrp6/EXOSC10 and long non-coding RNAs, and (v) understand the mechanisms of cytotoxicity and
resistance against the widely used anti-cancer drug 5-FU, which inhibits Rrp6/EXOSC10.

Projet de stage :
Immunotherapy is arguably among the most vibrant fields in oncology. Cancer/Testis antigens have
been used as targets to develop immunotherapeutical anti-cancer treatments since many years. We
have carried out a large-scale GeneChip RNA profiling data analysis and validation project using one
of the most comprehensive human testicular expression data sets available, in combination with the
output of a very large GeneChip RNA profiling study including a wide variety of human somatic
cancers (Expression Project for Oncology, expO; www.intgen.org), and a large number of
corresponding somatic healthy control samples (Gene Omnibus). Our in silico screen identified
numerous known CT antigens, genes that were previously associated with cancer progression, and
many as yet poorly characterized genes. We now wish to confirm and extend the observed RNA
patterns. For IQUB and FAM71B, we propose to validate the RNA profiles at the protein level using
commercialized reagents. The reagents will be used to monitor protein levels using testicular sections,
cultured cells, and commercially available tissue microarrays (TMAs) that contain a large number of
cancer samples and corresponding healthy controls. The proposed work will characterize novel target
proteins that we plan to further study and exploit in follow-up work in collaboration with Inserm-
Transfert (Inserm’s patenting office), and experts in the field of immunotherapy, who are meant to
assess the potential clinical impact of novel CT antigens.
Techniques mises en œuvre par le stagiaire : Protein detection by Western blotting,
immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Protein extraction (Western), cell culture,
tissue sectioning (IF, IHC). Light/UV microscopy (Zeiss). Knowledge mining using databases (neXtProt,
Human Protein Atlas, Genevestigator, TIMER, GermOnline).
