Firstly, I want to thank my supervisor Dr Eliane Souteyrand and my co-supervisor Dr Emmanuelle Laurenceau. They helped me defining the structure of my thesis as well as giving me a lot of support and encouragement during last three years. Furthermore, I learned a lot from my bosses on how to organize time, how to resolve the problems, how to be a good researcher. All these are invaluable experience for me and make me benefit all my life. Then I want to thank all the colleagues in my team. Thanks Dr. Yann Chevolot for revising my publications and for discussing the problems that I have confronted during my thesis. Thanks Dr. Thomas Gehin for spotting, it’s fundamental because I cannot do anything without it. I also much appreciate Dr Virginie Monnier, Dr Magali Phaner-Goutorbe, Dr Jean- Pierre Cloarec, Isabel Nabeth and Maryline Diserio, we passed excellent coffee time almost every day. Also, great thanks to all doctors (Alice Goudot, Amandine Cornillon, Salome Ansanay-Alex and Francisco Palazon) and future doctors (Lucie Dupin, Francesca Zuttion, Maxime Boksebeld, Mathieu Caillau and Feixiong Chen). It’s amazing that we had created such a good and relaxed working environment. I would also appreciate the collaboration with the Montpellier Research Cancer Institute (IRCM). Thanks Dr. Jérôme Solassol and Dr. Alain Mangé for giving us samples and helping us analyzing data. Of course I greatly appreciate the PhD fellowship from China Scholarship Council (CSC) which gave me financial support to do my thesis. Also, I want to thank all my Chinese friends: Xianqing Meng, Huanhuan Liu, Tianli Huang, Kai Zhang, He Ding, Yu Bai, Zhen Lei, Xuchen Liu, Xingrong Huang, Yu Fan, Changwei Zhou, Xiangkun Sun, Wei Chen and Bingxue Zhang. I can not cite all but I keep all of you in my mind. Finally, I want to thank my family and my boyfriend. Thank you. 1 2 Abstract Breast cancer becomes the most common cancer among women. In order to improve women's chances of survival and life quality, to be diagnosed at an early stage and to receive correct treatment are the most promising ways. In this context, we aim at developing an antigen microarray for screening serological biomarkers to diagnose breast cancer patients as early as possible. Among numerous potential biomarkers, recent researches showed that antibodies against heat shock proteins (HSPs) are associated with tumor genesis and would be good diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for breast cancer. Therefore, we used customized antigen microarray to screen anti-HSP antibodies in 50 breast cancer patients and 26 healthy controls. Our results indicated clearly that combining multiplex detection of anti-HSPs antibodies could discriminate breast cancer patients from healthy controls with sensitivity 86% and specificity 100%. Then, we elaborated an antibody microarray to detect the concentration of urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) in 16 cytosolic extracts of breast tummor tissue. uPA is good prognostic and predictive biomarker for breast cancer, low levels of uPA ( ≤3 ng/mg of protein) is associated with low risk of recurrence and no benefit of chemotherapy for breast cancer patients, and vice versa. Our results showed that the results obtained from our antibody microarray were surface dependent compared with the results obtained from ELISA. Furthermore, the use of our antibody microarray requires 25 times less sample volume compared with ELISA kit, thus solving the main limitations of ELISA. Finally, we determined and optimized the parameters which affected the performances of protein microarray, e.g. microarray surface chemistry, experimental duration, the concentration of solutions, etc. Furthermore, we studied the storage conditions for both chemically functionalized microarray surface as well as printed protein microarray. Results showed that our protein microarrays retain efficient biological activity for at least 3 month of storage.
