    International audienceL'implication d'erreurs de transcription dans l'hĂ©tĂ©rogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© du cancer avait jusqu'alors Ă©tĂ© peu considĂ©rĂ©e. En effet, la transcription est supposĂ©e fidĂšle et contrĂŽlĂ©e par un systĂšme complexe de vĂ©rification. Afin d'Ă©tudier l'hĂ©tĂ©rogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© des sĂ©quences d'ARNm issus de tissus sains et cancĂ©reux de 17 gĂšnes d'intĂ©rĂȘt, les probabilitĂ©s de survenue d'une substitution de base ont Ă©tĂ© comparĂ©es Ă  chaque position des sĂ©quences des transcrits Ă  l'aide d'une procĂ©dure de tests multiples. Pour cela, les sĂ©quences Expressed Sequences Tags, qui sont des copies partielles des ARNm d'un gĂšne, ont Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ©es et un modĂšle prenant en compte l'erreur de sĂ©quençage inhĂ©rente Ă  ces donnĂ©es a Ă©tĂ© proposĂ©. Enfin, l'estimateur Location Based Estimator du nombre moyen de tests faux positifs a Ă©tĂ© Ă©tendu au cas de statistiques de tests discrĂštes. Cette Ă©tude prĂ©liminaire a ainsi permis de mettre en Ă©vidence les positions des ARNm plus frĂ©quemment sujettes Ă  des substitutions dans les tissus cancĂ©reux que dans les tissus sains et d'introduire la notion d'infidĂ©litĂ© de transcription chez l'Homme

    L’un des enjeux de la lutte contre le cancer rĂ©side dans la comprĂ©hension de l’hĂ©tĂ©rogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© de la maladie. Le but de notre travail a Ă©tĂ© d’explorer l’hĂ©tĂ©rogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© des cellules cancĂ©reuses du point de vue de la sĂ©quence d’ARN messager. Les ESTs (ou Expressed Sequence Tags) d’origine humaine ont Ă©tĂ© alignĂ©es aux sĂ©quences de rĂ©fĂ©rence ARNm. Les alignements ont Ă©tĂ© exploitĂ©s de maniĂšre Ă  mesurer les variations de sĂ©quence des ESTs issues de tissus tumoraux ou non tumoraux Ă  chaque position de chaque transcrit. L’analyse statistique mise en place a consistĂ© Ă  identifier les positions pour lesquelles les variations de sĂ©quence, i.e. substitutions, insertions et dĂ©lĂ©tions, sont diffĂ©rentes entre les ESTs d’origine tumorale et les ESTs d’origine non tumorale. L’étude bioinformatique s’est d’abord concentrĂ©e sur 17 transcrits abondamment exprimĂ©s avant d’ĂȘtre Ă©tendue Ă  l’ensemble du transcriptome. Elle a ensuite Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e sur les ESTs murines. Les rĂ©sultats montrent que l’hĂ©tĂ©rogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© des transcrits cancĂ©reux est plus grande que celle des tissus sains. Ainsi, l’infidĂ©litĂ© de transcription est augmentĂ©e au cours de la carcinogĂ©nĂšse. Ce rĂ©sultat bioinformatique a Ă©tĂ© validĂ© par diffĂ©rentes approches biologiques. Tout d’abord, le clonage puis le sĂ©quençage d’un ARN provenant d’une tumeur pulmonaire humaine et prĂ©sentant une dĂ©lĂ©tion prĂ©dite de maniĂšre bioinformatique ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©s, et ce, en l’absence de mutation somatique. Ensuite, l’identification par spectromĂ©trie de masse d’un variant protĂ©ique issu de la traduction d’un ARN dont le codon stop est substituĂ© en triplet codant a Ă©tĂ© possible. Enfin, l’intĂ©rĂȘt de rechercher dans le sĂ©rum de patients cancĂ©reux la prĂ©sence d’anticorps dirigĂ©s contre des protĂ©ines issues de la traduction d’ARNm infidĂšles a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©montrĂ©. Ainsi, l’infidĂ©litĂ© de transcription est un phĂ©nomĂšne augmentĂ© dans le cancer et responsable d’une partie de l’hĂ©tĂ©rogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© des cellules cancĂ©reuses.

    Determinants and prognosis of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T peak plasma concentration in patients hospitalized for non-cardiogenic shock

    No full text
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the determinants and prognostic value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T peak plasma concentration in intensive care unit patients with non-cardiogenic shock. Material and methods: A prospective observational cohort study was conducted in a single intensive care unit between November 2014 and December 2015. Results: During the study period, 206 patients were hospitalized in the intensive care unit for non-cardiogenic shock and the median peak high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T was 55.1 [24.5–136] pg/mL. A multivariate analysis combining all variables showed that higher body mass index ( t  = 2.52, P  = 0.01), lower left ventricular systolic function ( t  = −2.73, P  = 0.007), higher white blood cell count ( t  = 3.72, P  = 0.0001), lower creatinine clearance ( t  = −2.84, P  = 0.0005), higher lactate level ( t  = 2.62, P  = 0.01) and ST-segment depression ( t  = 3.98, P  = 0.0001) best correlated with log 10 -transformed high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T peak plasma concentration. After multivariate analysis, the high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T peak was not associated with a significant reduction of in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio = 0.99 (95% confidence interval: 0.93–1.02)). Conclusion: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T elevation was very common in patients hospitalized for non-cardiogenic shock. The factors significantly associated with high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T peak plasma concentration were higher body mass index, decreased left ventricular systolic ejection fraction, higher leucocyte count, decreased renal function, increased lactate level, and ST-segment depression. The high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T peak was not significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in this setting

    Nonrandom variations in human cancer ESTs indicate that mRNA heterogeneity increases during carcinogenesis

    Virtually all cancer biological attributes are heterogeneous. Because of this, it is currently difficult to reconcile results of cancer transcriptome and proteome experiments. It is also established that cancer somatic mutations arise at rates higher than suspected, but yet are insufficient to explain all cancer cell heterogeneity. We have analyzed sequence variations of 17 abundantly expressed genes in a large set of human ESTs originating from either normal or cancer samples. We show that cancer ESTs have greater variations than normal ESTs for >70% of the tested genes. These variations cannot be explained by known and putative SNPs. Furthermore, cancer EST variations were not random, but were determined by the composition of the substituted base (b0) as well as that of the bases located upstream (up to b − 4) and downstream (up to b + 3) of the substitution event. The replacement base was also not randomly selected but corresponded in most cases (73%) to a repetition of b − 1 or of b + 1. Base substitutions follow a specific pattern of affected bases: A and T substitutions were preferentially observed in cancer ESTs. In contrast, cancer somatic mutations [Sjoblom T, et al. (2006) Science 314:268–274] and SNPs identified in the genes of the current study occurred preferentially with C and G. On the basis of these observations, we developed a working hypothesis that cancer EST heterogeneity results primarily from increased transcription infidelity
