About this trial

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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
At inclusion

Secondary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
At inclusion
2

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

Time frame
At inclusion
3

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.

Time frame
At inclusion
4

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).
