Abstract: An in vitro method belonging to the field of medicine, more specifically the field of cancer prognostic and therapeutic management, is disclosed. The method is for classifying a subject afflicted with a solid cancer as having a good prognosis or a poor prognosis. The method comprises detecting in a cancer cell sample from the subject phosphorylated RelB protein at the serine residue 472 and/or detecting a RelB homolog phosphorylated at a corresponding serine. A kit for implementing the method also is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predicting the prognosis of a patient suffering from a B-cell lymphoma, through the detection of the status of activation of the RelB protein, in a biological sample of said patient. The inventors indeed identified an associated gene expression signature in the biological sample. Some genes from said signature are over-expressed and other are under-expressed and allow detecting RelB activation and predicting a worse prognosis in B-cell lymphoma.

Abstract: The present Inventors demonstrated that the RelB subunit of NF?B plays a crucial role in promoting cell migration. More precisely, they identified that this pro-migratory activity is mediated by the activation of the NF?B pathway through RelB phosphorylation at serine 472. In a first aspect, the present invention proposes to monitor the activation of the NF?B pathway by following the phosphorylation status of said serine. Also, the present invention discloses methods and kits for prognosing the evolution of a disease involving cell migration in a subject—treated or not—suffering thereof, based on the detection of said RelB-S472 phosphorylation.
