Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a pre-leukemic condition with an extremely poor prognosis despite current treatments. It is the most frequent haematological disorder after the age of 65. Different approaches targeting the immune compartment have been developed but preliminary results seem to show variable response rates to these therapeutic highlighting the heterogeneity of MDS and the need to identify detailed immune profiles that are predictive of disease progression and can help in treatment choices. It therefore seems essential to complement the knowledge of immune profiles with an understanding of the metabolic profiles of MDS patients, as well as the links between these profiles and changes associated with progression and/or treatment resistance, in order to consider new therapeutic pathways. Fresh samples from patients with MDS will be used to perform flow cytometry mapping of immune populations, T-cell and blast cell metabolism. Subsequently, a study of energy metabolism will be conducted using an extracellular flow analyzer and a sensitivity test for certain molecules targeting metabolic pathways. If possible, samples will be taken at different times during the course of treatment, according to the therapeutic protocols: diagnosis, progression/transformation, during azacitidine treatment.
