Tumor microenvironment is characterized by several particularities such as hypoxia, extracellular media acidification and the hyper-secretion of hydrolytic enzymes. These hydrolases, such as cathepsin D and heparanase, are involved in many steps of tumor progression like angiogenesis. This thesis is a part of a project that aims to develop a "smart" molecular nano-object that specifically reacts to hyper-secreted enzymes in the tumor microenvironment for the simultaneous detection and targeting of tumor. The first part of our work concerned the design and the validation of a peptide that is sensitive to active forms of cathepsin D which is a protease, unregulated in many tumors microenvironment such as breast cancers. This objective has bee...
