Abstract: The present invention relates the field of reducing CD95-mediated cell motility in a subject, in particular for their use in the reduction of CD-95 mediated cancer cell motility, the reduction of CD95-mediated lymphocyte motility and/or B cell maturation, or the treatment of B-cell tumors, in a subject. The inventors identified a novel family of compounds having the ability to disrupt CD95/PLC?1 interaction and to neutralize the CD95-mediated calcium signaling pathway and cell migration in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and Th17 cells.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of kidney cancer. The inventors showed that while Elabela (ELA) is mostly expressed in kidney, its expression is reduced in human kidney cancer. In a xenograft animal model (sub-cutaneous, or sub-capsular injection) Ela inhibits tumor progression. In particular, there is disclosed a method of treating kidney cancer in a subject in need thereof including administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an ELA polypeptide including an amino acid sequence having at least 90% of identity with SEQ ID NO: 1 (QRPVNLTMRRKLRKHNCLQRRCMPLHSRVPFP) wherein the arginine residue (R) at position 9, 10, 20 or 21 is optionally mutated.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and compositions that can be used for diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue sarcoma cancer phenotypes and soft tissue sarcoma cancer-associated diseases. Also described herein are methods that can be used to identify modulators of soft tissue sarcoma cancer.
Abstract: A method for in vitro predicting survival and/or metastatic outcome of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), characterized in that it comprises the measure of the level, in a patient-derived biological sample of GIST, of a pool of polypeptides or polynucleotides consisting in Aurora kinase A (AURKA); a kit for the in vitro prediction of the survival outcome of a patient suffering from GIST, and/or the development of metastases in a patient treated for or suffering from GIST, and/or the prediction of the efficacy of a treatment for GIST, characterized in that it comprises means for detecting and/or quantify, in a sample, AURKA expression or level, and means for the calculation of the GI; and a method for screening for compounds for the use in the treatment of GISTs and to an AURKA inhibitor for its use in the treatment of GISTs.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a composition for potentiating formation of DISC (Death Inducing Signaling Complex) macro-complex and for inducing apoptotic signal mediated by death receptors in tumour cells comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an active agent selected among a hypocalcemia-inducing agent, a calcium channel inhibitor and a calcium chelator in association with a therapeutically effective amount of an anticancer agent inducing an apoptotic signal via death receptors Fas, TNF-R1, DR4 and/or DR5.
