Abstract: The present invention relates to an in vitro method for determine the prognosis of the survival time of a patient suffering from a cancer comprising the steps consisting of i) determining the expression level of the couple DNMT3A/ISGF3? in a sample from said patient, ii) comparing said expression level with a predetermined reference value and iii) providing a good prognosis when the expression level is lower than the predetermined reference value and a poor prognosis when the expression level is higher than the predetermined reference value. The invention also relates a compound which is a DNMT3A/ISGF3? antagonist or a compound which is a DNMT3A/ISGF3? gene expression inhibitor for use in the treatment and prevention of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates the treatment and prognostic of cancer like glioblastoma. Here, the inventors focused their study on the impact of presence of N6-adenosine methylation in miRNA-200b-3p in samples of patients suffering from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Their study was particularly focused on the impact of miRNA-200b-3p and its adenosine methylation on the expression of XIAP. XIAP acts as an anti-apoptotic protein via the inhibition of caspase-3 and -7 activation and high XIAP expression is associated with a poor survival in several solid tumors. Thus, the miR-200b-3p-mediated repression of XIAP mRNA expression appears as a mechanism governing the caspase-3 and -7 activity and the apoptosis. In theory, in the presence of miR-200b-3p, XIAP mRNA expression is repressed and caspase-3 and -7 can be activated to promote apoptosis.

Abstract: Disclosed is the non-therapeutic use, as a DNA-demethylating agent, of at least one organometallic compound including an iron atom bound to two terpyridine groups. Further disclosed are method related to applying such agent as medicine.
