Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the prophylactic treatment of metastases. The inventors showed in vivo that lung metastasis in GPVI deficient mice are reduced compared to controls. They demonstrated that GPVI is involved in platetet interaction with tumor cells and this interaction is mediated by EMMPRIN.). Using an anti-EMMPRIN antibody, they showed that the adhesion of platelets to tumors cells is decreased. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for the prophylactic treatment of metastases in a patient suffering from cancer comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent which inhibits the interaction between GPVI and EMMPRIN.

Abstract: A non invasive diagnostic method of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in a subject is provided. The method comprises the step of measuring the level of ?ig-h3 protein in a blood sample wherein the serum level of ?ig-h3 is positively correlated with the risk of having a PDAC. By following studies on 2 distinct cohorts of 20 and 104 of PDAC patients, and on PDAC mouse model, the inventors show that ?ig-h3 can be directly detected in the blood sample and ?ig-h3 is expressed very early in tumorigenesis in pancreatic neoplastic lesions. Also provided is a ?ig-h3 protein, for use in the treatment of PDAC. The inventors found that ?ig-h3 bind directly on CD8+ T cells by reducing their activation and cytotoxic properties. Furthermore, the use of neutralizing ?ig-h3 antibodies in PDAC mouse model reduced tumor growth by enhancing CD8+ T cell anti-tumoral response.

Abstract: The present invention relates the field of CMV and CMV related diseases. Using a powerful rat model of CMV infection of the embryonic brain, the inventors have looked for the existence of postnatal neurological and neurosensory manifestations, and have tested whether the early pharmacological targeting of microglia during pregnancy impacts on postnatal phenotypes. Particularly, the inventors tested the clodronate and the doxycycline and showed that these compounds improve the postnatal outcome of the baby. Thus, the invention relates to a compound which modifies the microglia for use in the treatment of CMV related diseases in a subject in need thereof.
