    Abstract Over the past decade, technically reliable circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection methods allowed the collection of large datasets of CTC counts in cancer patients. These data can be used either as a dynamic prognostic biomarker or as tumor material for "liquid biopsy". Breast cancer appears to be the cancer type in which CTC have been the most extensively studied so far, with level-of-evidence-1 studies supporting the clinical validity of CTC count in both early and metastatic stage. This review summarizes and discusses the clinical results obtained in breast cancer patients, the issues faced by the molecular characterization of CTC and the biological findings about cancer biology and metastasis that were obtained from CTC.

    Abstract Microfluidics has provided clinicians with new technologies to detect and analyze circulating tumor biomarkers in order to further improve their understanding of disease mechanism, as well as to improve patient management. Among these different biomarkers, circulating tumor cells have proven to be of high interest for different types of cancer and in particular for breast cancer. Here we focus our attention on a breast cancer subtype referred as HER2-positive breast cancer, this cancer being associated with an amplification of HER2 protein at the plasma membrane of cancer cells. Combined with therapies targeting the HER2 protein, HER2-HER3 dimerization blockade further improves a patient's outcome. In this work, we propose a new approach to CTC characterization by on-chip integrating proximity ligation assay, so that we can quantify the HER2-HER3 dimerization event at the level of single CTC. To achieve this, we developed a microfluidic approach combining both CTC capture, identification and HER2-HER3 status quantification by Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA). We first optimized and demonstrated the potential of the on-chip quantification of HER2-HER3 dimerization using cancer cell lines with various levels of HER2 overexpression and validated its clinical potential with a patient's sample treated or not with HER2-targeted therapy.

    Abstract Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are particularly rare in non-metastatic breast cancer, and the clinical validity of CTC detection in that clinical setting was initially not well recognized. A cytological CTC detection device (CellSearch) fulfilling the CLIA requirements for analytical validity was subsequently developed and, in 2008, we reported the first study (REMAGUS02) showing that distant metastasis-free survival was shorter in early breast cancer patients with one or more CTCs. In the past 10 years, other clinical studies and meta-analyses have established CTC detection as a level-of-evidence 1 prognostic biomarker for local relapses, distant relapses, and overall survival. This review summarizes available data on CTC detection and the promises of this proliferation- and subtype-independent metastasis-associated biomarker in early breast cancer patients.

    Abstract Genomic imprinting refers to genes that are epigenetically programmed in the germline to express exclusively or preferentially one allele in a parent-of-origin manner. Expression-based genome-wide screening for the identification of imprinted genes has failed to uncover a significant number of new imprinted genes, probably because of the high tissue- and developmental-stage specificity of imprinted gene expression. A very large number of technical and biological artifacts can also lead to the erroneous evidence of imprinted gene expression. In this article, we focus on three common sources of potential confounding effects: (i) random monoallelic expression in monoclonal cell populations, (ii) genetically determined monoallelic expression and (iii) contamination or infiltration of embryonic tissues with maternal material. This last situation specifically applies to genes that occur as maternally expressed in the placenta. Beside the use of reciprocal crosses that are instrumental to confirm the parental specificity of expression, we provide additional methods for the detection and elimination of these situations that can be misinterpreted as cases of imprinted expression.

    Title translation Evolution of genomic imprinting in mammals: what a zoo!.
    Abstract Genomic imprinting imposes an obligate mode of biparental reproduction in mammals. This phenomenon results from the monoparental expression of a subset of genes. This specific gene regulation mechanism affects viviparous mammals, especially eutherians, but also marsupials to a lesser extent. Oviparous mammals, or monotremes, do not seem to demonstrate monoparental allele expression. This phylogenic confinement suggests that the evolution of the placenta imposed a selective pressure for the emergence of genomic imprinting. This physiological argument is now complemented by recent genomic evidence facilitated by the sequencing of the platypus genome, a rare modern day case of a monotreme. Analysis of the platypus genome in comparison to eutherian genomes shows a chronological and functional coincidence between the appearance of genomic imprinting and transposable element accumulation. The systematic comparative analyses of genomic sequences in different species is essential for the further understanding of genomic imprinting emergence and divergent evolution along mammalian speciation.

    Abstract Genomic imprinting refers to the functional non-equivalence of parental genomes in mammals that results from the parent-of-origin allelic expression of a subset of genes. Parent-specific expression is dependent on the germ line acquisition of DNA methylation marks at imprinting control regions (ICRs), coordinated by the DNA-methyltransferase homolog DNMT3L. We discuss here how the gender-specific stages of DNMT3L expression may have influenced the various sexually dimorphic aspects of genomic imprinting: (1) the differential developmental timing of methylation establishment at paternally and maternally imprinted genes in each parental germ line, (2) the differential dependence on DNMT3L of parental methylation imprint establishment, (3) the unequal duration of paternal versus maternal methylation imprints during germ cell development, (4) the biased distribution of methylation-dependent ICRs towards the maternal genome, (5) the different genomic organization of paternal versus maternal ICRs, and finally (6) the overwhelming contribution of maternal germ line imprints to development compared to their paternal counterparts.

    Abstract Considerable interest surrounds the use of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in patients with solid tumours following the demonstration of the impressive clinical efficacy of anti-programmed cell death protein 1 and anti-programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 antibodies in several tumour types. However, the emergence of unexpected tumour response patterns, such as pseudoprogression or hyperprogression, might complicate the management of patients receiving these agents. Analysis of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) has been shown to have prognostic value by enabling the detection of residual proliferating disease in the adjuvant setting and estimation of tumour burden in the metastatic setting, which are key stratification biomarkers for use of immune-checkpoint inhibition (ICI). Furthermore, examinations of ctDNA for genetic predictors of responsiveness to immunotherapy, such as mutations, tumour mutational load, and microsatellite instability provide a noninvasive surrogate for tumour biopsy sampling. Proof-of-concept reports have also demonstrated that quantitative changes in ctDNA levels early in the course of disease are a promising tool for the assessment of responsiveness to ICI that might complement standard imaging approaches. Other applications of this technology are also currently under investigation, such as early detection of resistance to immunotherapy and characterization of mechanisms of resistance. The aim of this Review is to summarize available data on the application of ctDNA in patients receiving immunotherapy and to discuss the most promising future directions.

    Abstract Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) is a highly sensitive quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method based on sample fractionation into thousands of nano-sized water-in-oil individual reactions. Recently, ddPCR has become one of the most accurate and sensitive tools for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection. One of the major limitations of the standard ddPCR technique is the restricted number of mutations that can be screened per reaction, as specific hydrolysis probes recognizing each possible allelic version are required. An alternative methodology, the drop-off ddPCR, increases throughput, since it requires only a single pair of probes to detect and quantify potentially all genetic alterations in the targeted region. Drop-off ddPCR displays comparable sensitivity to conventional ddPCR assays with the advantage of detecting a greater number of mutations in a single reaction. It is cost-effective, conserves precious sample material, and can also be used as a discovery tool when mutations are not known a priori.

    Abstract Background: Microsatellite instability (MSI) has recently emerged as a predictive pan-tumor biomarker of immunotherapy efficacy, stimulating the development of diagnostic tools compatible with large-scale screening of patients. In this context, noninvasive detection of MSI from circulating tumor DNA stands as a promising diagnostic and posttreatment monitoring tool.
    Methods: We developed drop-off droplet-digital PCR (ddPCR) assays targeting BAT-26, activin A receptor type 2A (ACVR2A), and defensin beta 105A/B (DEFB105A/B) microsatellite markers. Performances of the assays were measured on reconstitution experiments of various mutant allelic fractions, on 185 tumor samples with known MSI status, and on 72 blood samples collected from 42 patients with advanced colorectal or endometrial cancers before and/or during therapy.
    Results: The 3 ddPCR assays reached analytical sensitivity <0.1% variant allelic frequency and could reliably detect and quantify MSI in both tumor and body fluid samples. High concordance between MSI status determination by the three-marker ddPCR test and the reference pentaplex method were observed (100% for colorectal tumors and 93% for other tumor types). Moreover, the 3 assays showed correlations with r ≥ 0.99 with other circulating tumor DNA markers and their dynamic during treatment correlated well with clinical response.
    Conclusions: This innovative approach for MSI detection provides a noninvasive, cost-effective, and fast diagnostic tool, well suited for large-scale screening of patients that may benefit from immunotherapy agents, as well as for monitoring treatment responses.
