Our Research
Cancer cell communication with its microenvironment plays a key role in tumor progression and metastatic dissemination. The “Cancer cell signalling” team aims at understanding how deregulation of cell phospho-signaling promotes this neoplastic process and uses this information to develop novel points of therapeutic intervention.
Our research focuses on tyrosine kinase signaling with a specific interest for the Src oncogene in intestinal tumors. In recent years, we discovered key mechanisms in the control of Src tumor activity, which involve its unstructured region and an ubiquitination-dependent mechanism hold by the SLAP tumor suppressive adaptor. By phosphoproteomics, we show that vesicular trafficking regulators and adhesive pseudo-kinases are critical components of this invasive program. Finally, we have identified two novel tyrosine kinase signaling receptors that mediate cancer progression by the tumor microenvironment with potential therapeutic interest.
We continue our research by studying (i) SLAP signaling in intestinal tumors; (ii) Src kinase regulation by its intrinsically disordered region; (iii) oncogenic signaling of PEAK pseudo-kinases; and (iv) the signaling mechanisms of the identified tumor microenvironment receptors and their therapeutic inhibition.
For this, we are combining structural, biochemical, proteomics and cell biological methods with several intestinal cancer models, including nude mice xenografts and genetically modified mouse models, patients derived organoids and others.
