Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Oxygen Consumption Rate
Difference in oxidative phosphorylation measured by OCR (Oxygen Consumption Rate) in pmol/min/nd DNA between the mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSCs) of children with Acute Leukemia and those of children without blood diseases.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Difference in Extra Cellular Acidification Rate
Difference in glycolysis, measured by the ECAR (Extra Cellular Acification Rate) in mpH/min/ng DNA between the MSCs of children with AL and those of children without hematological disease.
Difference in Reactive Oxygen Species
Difference in oxidative metabolism thanks to the measurement of reactive oxygen species (ROS), measured in MIF/isotype, between MSCs of children with AL and those of children without hematological disease
Difference in doubling time in culture
The difference in doubling time in culture (measured in days) between the MSCs of children with LA and those of children free of hemopathy. At each passage, the number of living and dead MSCs will be counted.
Difference in Immunophenotypic profile
The difference in immunophenotypic profile (cytometry, immunofluorescence) between MSCs of children with AL and those of children without hematological disease. Use of a panel of monoclonal antibodies directed against various membrane antigens (CD45, CD34, CD14, CD90, CD73, CD105).
Difference in mutational profiles between MSCs and leukemia cells
Difference in mutational profiles between MSCs and leukemia cells from children with AL. Comparison of mutations acquired by leukemic cells compared to stromal cells by an NGS-type high-throughput sequencing approach.
Differences in transcriptomic signatures between MSCs and MSC subpopulations
Differences in transcriptomic signatures between MSCs and MSC subpopulations of children with AL and those of children without hematological disease. The RNAs of the MSCs obtained after culture will be extracted then reverse-transcribed into cDNA. The quality control of the extracted RNAs will be carried out on a Bioanalyzer (Agilent). Transcriptome analysis of the MSC pool will be performed by RNA Seq/NGS. Transcriptomic identification of MSC subpopulations will be performed by single-cell RNAseq/NGS.
Differences in cytokine profiles within the bone marrow
Differences in cytokine profiles in the bone marrow and in the blood, measured in ng/mL, between children with AL and children without hematological disease.ELISA-like assay of IL-3, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-15, TGF-bêta, IFN-gamma

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Acute leukemia (AL) is the most common cancer in children. Despite the optimization of chemotherapy treatments and the development of supportive care, a certain number of LAs relapse and/or progress to death of the child. It therefore seems essential to try to better understand the physiopathology and the mechanisms of resistance to treatment of these diseases.
Detailed Description
Acute leukemia (AL) is the most common cancer in children. Despite the optimization of chemotherapy treatments and the development of supportive care, a certain number of AL's relapse and/or progress to death of the child. It therefore seems essential to try to better understand the physiopathology and the mechanisms of resistance to treatment of these diseases. The study of the microenvironment appears in this context as a promising avenue. The bone marrow microenvironment is composed of an extracellular matrix and cells, in particular mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSC's). In adult acute leukemia, it has been clearly demonstrated that these microenvironment cells are reprogrammed by leukemia cells to allow the development and proliferation of the latter. Links have also been demonstrated in acute leukemia between the cells of the microenvironment and resistance to chemotherapy. In a certain number of cases, the support of the microenvironment for the development of leukemia or resistance to chemotherapy involves modulation of the energy metabolism of leukemia cells. This notably involves interactions between leukemic cells and MSCs and re-programming of the energy metabolism of the latter. To date, there are only very few studies concerning the role of the microenvironment in acute childhood leukemia and none to date has specifically studied the energy metabolism (oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis) of MSCs.
