The purpose of this study is to seeking a molecular signature of pathological radiation induced fibrosis based on the response of skin fibroblasts after irradiation, comparing two groups of patients distinguished by their individual radiosensitivity. The signature will integrate recent insights in terms of alternative splicing of mRNAs and level of expression of non-coding RNAs, particularly long non-coding RNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs and microRNAs. In each group each expression patterns of candidate HSP proteins potentially predictive of pathological radiation induced fibrosis (HSP27, HSP70, αβ crystalline) in the serum and on cell culture will be characterized.

Time frame: 6 months
Transcriptomic signature of pathological induced fibrosis when comparing the primary outcome between the two populations on serum
Time frame: 6 months
Individual radiosensitivity on healthy dermal fibroblasts
The micronuclei will be counted 24 hours after ex vivo irradiation with an indirect immunofluorescence assay (53BP1 + pATM antibodies)
Time frame: 6 months
Comparison of the overall mRNA splicing and non-coding RNA expression profiles between non irradiated and irradiated dermal fibroblasts in the same individual
Time frame: 6 months
Changes in cellular distribution of the main non-coding RNAs whose expression varies significantly within the pre-identified signature between the 2 groups of patients
The cellular distribution is defined as the compartment (nucleoplasm, nucleolus, intra-nuclear corpuscles, cytosol, RE, mitochondria ...) marked by the fluorescent probe labeled to the non-coding RNAs of interest (RNA-FISH)
Time frame: 6 months
seric HSP proteins potentially predictive of pathological induced fibrosis
HSP27, HSP70 and αB crystalline measured in serum with ELISA assay
Time frame: 6 months
Cellular distribution of specific HSP on fibroblast culture in each group of patients
immunolabeling of HSPs and spatial mapping and sub-nuclear distributions
Time frame: 6 months
Potential interactions between DNA damage response proteins and candidate HSP
