Diariamente los investigadores del IP trabajan para avanzar en el conocimiento de las enfermedades y sus aplicaciones. Ya sea desde los laboratorios o desde las consultas médicas, los profesionales del IP llevan a cabo su tarea teniendo como objetivo la mejora de la salud. En cuanto a la producción científica, el 2013 ha supuesto un año de consolidación para nuestro IP. Los investigadores han publicado un total de 362 artículos en revistas indexadas en Journal Citation Report (JCR), con factor de impacto superior a 1. El factor de impacto acumulado (FIA) de 2135,248 ha supuesto un incremento en más de 300 puntos, respecto al año 2012. Este incremento ha hecho que el FIM pasara de 5,2 en 2012 a 5,9 en el año 2013. Este dato ha posicionado a nuestro IP entre los mejores en cuanto a calidad de su producción científica. Esta actividad es el resultado del gran trabajo llevado a cabo por el personal del IP, cuya tarea se traduce no sólo en la publicación de artículos en revistas científicas, sino en su divulgación a través de libros y aplicación reflejada en las numerosas guías clínicas editadas en 2013. No hay que olvidar los difíciles momentos económicos por los que el entorno científico está pasando. A pesar de ellos, durante el año 2013 se ha mantenido la tra- t is a great pleasure to present again another year a brief summary of the activities carried out during 2013 in our Institute for Health Research, IP. Day after day IP researchers work to advance the understanding of diseases and its applications. Whether from their laboratories or their doctor´s office, IP professionals perform their task aiming at improving health. In terms of scientific output, 2013 has been a year of consolidation for our IP. Researchers have published a total of 362 articles in journals indexed in Journal Citation Report (JCR), with an impact factor higher than 1. The cumulative impact factor of 2135,248 has represented an increase of over 300 points, compared to the year 2013. This increase has resulted in a shift of mean impact factor (MIF) from 5.2 in 2012 to 5.9 in 2013. This figure has positioned our IP among the best in terms of quality of scientific output. This activity is the result of the hard work done by the staff of IP, whose activity is reflected not only in the publication of articles in scientific journals, but in its dissemination through books and its application in the numerous clinical guidelines published in 2013. It is worth reminding here that the scientific environment is currently going through a tough economic situation. Despite that, during the year 2013 IP has maintained an upward trend in terms of fundraising from public and I yectoria ascendente en cuanto a captación de fondos de entidades públicas y privadas.

Para llevar a cabo este análisis se utilizan los indicadores bibliométricos que tienen como objetivo el análisis cuantitativo de las publicaciones científicas. Aunque no es posible conocer de forma absoluta la calidad y el impacto de las publicaciones científicas, existen indicadores cuantitativos que permiten evaluar de una forma relativa dichos parámetros. El Factor de Impacto o índice de impacto (IF), mide la frecuencia con la que una revista ha sido citada en un año concreto. Es un indicador que permite comparar revistas y evaluar la importancia relativa de una revista dentro de un mismo campo científico. Consideraremos como Factor de Impacto el publicado por Thomson Reuters en el Journal Citation Report (JCR) 2013. Sólo se computaron aquellos artículos que estaban ya publicados (no se tuvieron en cuenta los artículos “Epub ahead of print”) en revistas incluidas en el JCR cuyo factor de impacto sea superior a 1. Dichas publicaciones sólo se contabilizarán una vez, para realizar el análisis global. Sin embargo aquellas en las que participen diferentes grupos se computarán individualmente para cada uno de ellos y se mostrarán en el resumen detallado de cada grupo. De acuerdo a lo expresado previamente, en el 2013 se publicaron 362 artículos, con un factor de impacto acumulado (FIA) de 2135,248 y un factor de impacto medio (FIM) de 5.9. Estos datos implican un incremento del 18% respecto al año 2012. The evaluation of scientific results arises from the need to determine the performance of scientific activity and its impact on society. To carry out this analysis, bibliometric indicators are used for quantitative analysis of scientific publications. Although it is not possible to know absolutely the quality and impact of scientific publications, they can be assessed to a certain extent by quantitative indicators. The impact factor (IF), measures the frequency with which a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is an indicator that allows to compare journals and to assess the relative importance of a journal within a scientific field. The impact factor was considered as published by Thomson Reuters in the Journal Citation Report (JCR) 2013. Only the articles that were already published in journals included in the JCR (with impact factor exceeding 1) were scored. The articles “Epub ahead of print" were not taken into account. These publications were only considered once for global analysis. However, those involving different groups were – 12 – scored for each of them and are shown in the detailed summary of each group. According to the stated above, in 2013 362 articles were published with a cumulative impact factor (CIF) of 2135,248 and a mean impact factor (MIF) of 5.9. These data represent an increase of 18% over 2012. PRÓLOGO IP / FOREWORD IP Aunque en el año 2013, el número de artículos en revistas de Q1 es el mismo que el año anterior, se puede observar un incremento del 25% de artículos en revistas en primer decil (D1) de su categoría. Although in 2013 the number of articles in journals of fist quartile (Q1) is the same as the previous year, we can see an increase of 25% of articles in first decile journals (D1).

Scientific Director, Inmmunology. RESEARCH INTEREST Cell-cell communication is the basis of the organization of the Immune System. T lymphocytes and Antigen-Presenting Cezlls (APCs) establish a specific intercellular structure through the Immune Synapse (IS) formation to secure the interchange of information. The presence of specific receptors at the cell membrane is essential for the correct transfer of information between T lymphocytes and APCs. The tetraspanin CD81 localizes at the IS and marks the degree of maturation of the IS, controlling the dynamics and fate of the T cell receptor complex at the IS. The molecular architecture of the IS is organized and maintained through the dynamics of the cytoskeleton AREA 3 AREA 2 AREA 1 GROUP MEMBERS • Francesc Baixauli Celda • Olga Barreiro del Río • Noelia Blas Rus • Eugenio Bustos Moran • Danay Cibrián Vera • Hortensia de la Fuente Flores • Marta Esther Ramírez Huesca • Manuel Gómez Gutiérrez • Cristina Gutiérrez Vázquez • María José López Campos • Noa Beatriz Martín Cófreces • Gloria Martínez del Hoyo Cañizares • Adela Matesanz Marín • María Mittelbrunn Herrero • Olga Moreno Gonzalo • Vera Rocha Perugini • María Laura Saiz Álvarez • Mª Ángeles Ursa Pecharromán • María Ángeles Vallejo Rodríguez • Alicia Vara Vega • Carolina Villarroya Beltri Fig.1 – 29 – Cellular and molecular etiopathogenic mechanisms in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases components, such as the centrosome or MTOC (microtubule-organizing centre), a cell-polarity keeping organelle. The MTOC allows the organization of an intense vesicular trafficking that helps to the T Cell Receptor downstream signaling at the IS. Indeed, the Multivesicular Bodies (MVB) concentrate at the IS to favor the exocytosis of small membrane vesicles (exosomes) in a new way of cell-cell communication with the APC, that involves a role for the miRNA loaded in the exosomes. Specific repertoires of miRNAs are sorted to the exosomes upon binding to ROA2 (hnRNPA2B1), which localization in exosomes is regulated by sumoylation. The study of intercellular communication in the establishment and development of different diseases is a promising field in biomedicine. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by well-defined erythematous scares that are well delineated from apparently healthy adjacent skin. The analysis of these affected areas (lesional skin) unveiled an important immune cell infiltrate, mainly T lymphocytes and dendritic cells. These cells showed a state of activation that corresponds to Th1 and Th17 responses, and produce cytokines, such as TNF-a, IFN-g, IL-17, IL-22, IL-23, IL-12 and IL-1b, that induce the keratinocytes and other resident skin cells to secrete mediators. Our studies of immunoregulatory molecules and specific miRNAs in subpopulations of immune cells in psoriatic skin support their critical role in the control of the inflammatory cytokines in the cutaneous immune response.

These analyses allowed us to decipher the role of these specialized adhesion platforms in the recruitment of adhesion receptors and, surprisingly, RNA binding proteins to exosomes. Thus, the 45% of the proteome of these extracellular vesicles was connected to tetraspanin-enriched microdomains. Deletion of a single tetraspanin was able to selec- – 32 – Fig.1. Protein interaction networks for tetraspanin-enriched microdomainsin human primary lymphoblast-derived exosomes. A, intracellular ligands of CD81 and EWI-2 were manually clustered into groups according to their function. Symbol size is proportional to the number of peptides identified for each protein in the pull-down assays. B, proportions of proteins in exosomes that were identified as ligands of EWI-2 and CD81 in exosomes. tively reduce the incorporation of associated molecules to exosomes. In addition, among the tetraspanin CD81 cytosolic associated proteins we found the small GTPase Rac. This GTPase is a master regulation of actin assembly, playing a fundamental role in cell motility and invasion. We demonstrated that the association of Rac with CD81 was important to modulate the cycling time of activation-deactivation of the GTPase at the plasma membrane. We observed that deletion or truncation of the C-term domain of CD81 slowed down Rac deactivation resulting in an enhanced focal adhesion formation and reduced cell motility. Moreover, cytopermeable peptides with the sequence of the C-terminal domain of CD81 also reduced cell motility, suggesting their potential in anti-tumoral therapy.

Our lab has described that PSGL-1 participates in the generation of regulatory T cells (Treg) and contributes to the maintenance of peripheral tolerance. We have recently described that PSGL-1 KO mice develop an autoimmune disease similar to systemic sclerosis (SSc). During the last year we have obtained preliminary data indicating that P-Selectin KO mice develop an autoimmune syndrome different to that of PSGL-1 KO and that both P-Selectin and PSGL-1 KO aged mice have thickened the muscular layer of the pulmonary small vessels, suggesting that they could develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (Fig. 1). We have also observed that aged P-Selectin deficient mice have giant seminal vesicles and that both PSGL-1 and the P-Sel deficient mice have Fig.1.

Very importantly, we have initiated a study with patients and healthy controls to evaluate whether the serum levels of PSGL-1, P-Selectin, E-Selectin and LSelectin, together with the expression of PSGL-1 in the surface of leukocyte subpopulations, could constitute an early diagnostic signature to differentiate between SSc, systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue diseases.

Pulmonary diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and sleepapnea hypoapnea syndrome (SAHS) are the most common respiratory diseases causing illness and death, and are being projected to be the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2020. They are characterized by an insufficient level of oxygen in the blood (hypoxemia), continuous in the COPD and intermittent in the SAHS and they are associated to pulmonary oxidative damage, an exaggerated inflammatory response in the lung and systemically. The compensatory oxygen-sensing pathway, executed by the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), is central in the cellular/tissular response to pathological oxygen fluctuations, but surprisingly, despite of the fact that lung tissue - bronchial epithelium - is a first barrier Fig.1. Hypoxia-induced bronchial epithelial cell RELM-a expression. Immunostaining detecting RELM-A positive cells localized in bronchial epithelium of mice exposed to hypoxia. RELM-A has been shown to be a bronchial epithelial cell mitogen. encountered by oxygen, it remains largely unknown the role of the HIF oxygen-sensing responses in lung pathophysiology. Furthermore it remains unexplored the potential of HIF pathways for novel therapeutical approaches. Based on (i) our recent studies about the HIF pathways as activators of proliferative markers in bronchial epithelium including mTORC1 (Elorza et al. Molecular Cell 2012) or resistin-alpha (RELM.A), we are currently studying together in collaboration with other researchers including pneumologists in Hospital de la Princesa IIS-IP (Dr. Julio Ancochea) the role of HIF oxygen sensing pathways in (i) lung protection and repair (ii) ventilation and (iii) of novel HIFdependent non-invasive airway and plasma biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of these fatal respiratory diseases.

Redes Temáticas – 38 – RESEARCH INTEREST Non-enzymatic post-translational modifications in vascular pathophysiology The research of the group is centred on the study of non-enzymatic post-translational modifications induced by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, Fig.1. Hypothetical S-nitrosylation/denitrosylation mechanisms in T cell development. A) Local high extracellular levels of NO produced by iNOS from dendritic cells (DC) promote S-nitrosylation in thymocytes, fostering negative selection of CD4+CD8+ double positive thymocytes by promoting apoptosis. B) Through denitrosylation, up-regulated GSNOR expression or activity in thymocytes ongoing CD4+ maturation may counteract the proapoptotic actions of protein S-nitrosylation mediated by iNOS-derived NO from DCs. C) Low levels of NO generated in thymocytes by constitutive NOS (cNOS) during their cognate interactions with iNOS non-expressing DCs and macrophages (APC) may protect thymocytes from cell death by S-nitrosylation of caspase-1. From Hernansanz-Agustín et al., 2013 especially cysteine reversible oxidative modifications. We also study their relevance in cell function and pathophysiology, mainly in the molecular and cellular responses to hypoxia. We have previously identified several proteins that are differentially oxidised in the acute response of endothelial cells subjected to hypoxia. Currently, we are investigating the origin of such response, and we have identified an acute superoxide production when different cells are subjected to acute hypoxia (published in 2014). We are also collaborating with different groups in the study of the role of oxidative post-translational modifications in different pathophysiological scenarios. In an animal model of acute pancreatitis we have described a novel type of oxidative stress that takes part in this inflammatory disease, disulfide Fig.2. Postsynaptic localization of nNOS and S-nitrosylation signaling in a glutamatergic synapse. Production of NO by nNOS following glutamate release is coupled to activation of Ca2+-permeable NMDA receptors (NMDAr), which are anchored at the postsynaptic density by scaffolding proteins, including PSD-95. NO produced in close proximity to NMDA receptors triggers the S-nitrosylation of NR2A subunits (SNO-NR2A), which then allow less Ca2+ in. S-nitrosylation of stargazin (SNO-stargazin) and NSF (SNO-NSF) contributes to increase the surface expression of AMPAr during events of synaptic plasticity following the activation of NMDAr. On the other hand, S-nitrosylation of PICK1 facilitates its release from AMPAr after membrane insertion and also facilitates surface expression of AMPAr. When these proteins are out of range of NO and are not S-nitrosylated, PICK1 interacts more strongly with the receptor while NSF interacts more weakly; allowing the binding of proteins that facilitate endocytosis of AMPAr. stress (published in 2014). We are also studying the role of S-nitrosylation in the neurogenesis induced by nitric oxide (NO). We have also made some contributions in the study of S-nitrosylation, a paradigmatic oxidative post-translational modification related with NO signalling. We have reviewed the role of S-nitrosylation in the immune system, including the mechanistic and therapeutic approaches of nitrosothiols in autoimmune diseases. We have also reviewed the particularities of S-nitrosylation as a short-distance nonclassical NO signalling mechanism. – 39 – AREA 3 AREA 2 AREA 1 AREA 1 Cellular and molecular etiopathogenic mechanisms in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases MAJOR GRANTS GROUP MEMBERS • David Labrousse Arias • Antonio Martínez Ruiz.

AREA 1 We are investigating the role of Hypoxia Inducible Factors in the regulation of TSP1 in the lungs and how this regulation translates into functional effects. TSP-1 production in lungs might not be limited to endothelial cells, and pulmonary smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts might also stimulate TSP1 levels under hypoxia (Figure 1). Therefore TSP1 effects on PAH might include paracrine effects stimulated from endothelial cells in the intima, inflammatory cells or platelets, but also autocrine effects in pulmonary smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. All this will contribute to functional aspects of pulmonary physiology. MAJOR GRANTS • María Josefa Calzada García. TSP1-CD47 in promotion of PAH-associated aasoconstriction and vascular overgrowth.

Since oxidative stress underlies a wide variety of pathophysiological processes, UCPs are potentially important drug targets. The elucidation of the molecular pathways that control their expression and activity is essential to develop strategies for modulating their function. In addition, reduced oxygen availability modulates mitochondrial function although the mechanism is unclear. Hypoxia induces metabolic responses that have adaptive significance for the protection against excessive ROS production. During 2013, we have followed several lines of research. 1) We have studied the regulation of UCP3 expression and function by oxidative stress. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) increases UCP3 expression in mouse skeletal muscle and cardiac cells, an effect mediated by the antioxidant transcription factor Nrf2. UCP3 up-regulation increases proton leak and promotes survival, sug– 41 – AREA 3 AREA 2 AREA 1 right heart failure. Loss of nitric oxide (NO) signaling and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)derived oxidative stress are key events in the pathogenesis of PAH yet the mechanisms involved remain incompletely known. Our previous results proved that TSP1-mediated activation of CD47 is increased in experimental and human PAH, and promotes disease by limiting Cav-1 inhibition of dysregulated eNOS (Bauer P.M. et al. Cardiovas. Res. 2012). It is accepted that hypoxia is a cause of pulmonary vascular cell proliferation and vascular remodeling, but the mechanisms are not completely clear. Our group is interested in deciphering the mechanisms by which hypoxia affects PAH onset and development.

We are also investigating the effects of the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) on UCP3 expression, and the potential involvement of Nrf2 in this pathway. 2) Reperfusion of ischemic tissues results in an excessive production of ROS that may cause tissue injury. Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) increases Nrf2 nuclear accumulation and UCP3 expression in the mouse heart (Anedda et al. Free Radic. Biol. Med. 2013). We are currently studying the potential protective role of UCP3 against IR injury in the isolated perfused mouse heart. 3) In collaboration with Dr. F.

GRK2 downregulation is a relevant event in the tumoral angiogenic switch. Decreased GRK2 levels in endothelial cells (in genetically engineered animals or promoted by factors secreted from cancer cells) led to biased TGFbeta signaling, and altered PDGF gradients, critical for a balanced angiogenic process. Mouse embryos with systemic or endothelium-selective Grk2 ablation had marked vascular malformations and an altered pattern of vessel growth and maturation in postnatal retinas, involving impaired recruitment of mural cells. On the other hand, decreased endothelial Grk2 dosage accelerated tumor growth in mice, along with reduced pericyte vessel coverage and enhanced macrophage infiltration, and this transformed environment promoted decreased GRK2 in endothelial cells and human breast cancer vessels (Rivas et al., J Clin Invest 2013). sion in relevant clinical situations such as tumor progression, inflammation or cardiovascular diseases, and to evaluate the pathological impact of such changes. This is critical to assess the feasibility of GRK2 as a useful diagnostic biomarker and/or therapeutic target. RESEARCH INTEREST G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) were initially identified as negative regulators of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). However, novel roles for these proteins are being unveiled, in particular for the ubiquitous and essential GRK2 isoform, which is emerging as a key node in signal transduction pathways. Thus, GRK2 is able to dynamically interact with other important signal transduction partners and to phosphorylate a variety of nonGPCR substrates. Our group is interested in unveiling the cell type-specific networks of GRK2 interactions that underlie its participation in basic cellular processes such as cell cycle, cell migration or insulin resistance, to understand the mechanisms leading to altered GRK2 expres- To this end we are using both cellular and animal models with altered GRK2 dosage or functionality (either systemic hemizygous mice, conditional or tissue-specific knock-outs) and samples from patients or animal models of disease. Our group is also involved in sorting out new signaling routes downstream of Gq-coupled GPCR and in developing a new family of p38MAPK inhibitors patented by our laboratory. In 2013 we highlight our contribution showing that GRK2 is a key regulator of angiogenesis during development and in tumor progression, and that GRK2 downregulation is a relevant event in the tumoral angiogenic switch. – 43 – AREA 3 AREA 2 AREA 1 HEAD OF LABORATORY Federico Mayor Menéndez Cellular and molecular etiopathogenic mechanisms in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases MAJOR GRANTS • Federico Mayor Menéndez.

PGs trigger activation and migration of T lymphocytes, including the duration AREA 1 of their interaction with antigen presenting cells. Macrophage migration is also induced by PGs due to activation of p110g PI3K by PG receptors. We have also found that PGF2alfa negatively regulates adipocyte differentiation and this activity is mediated by the transcription factor NFAT. Through specific silencing of the 4 NFAT members (NFATc1-4) we were able to identify the member responsible for this activity. Moreover, we found that NFATc4 deficiency induces obesity in mice indicating a key role to this factor in controlling obesity and fatty acid metabolism.

All intended for improved understanding and prevention of Chagas’ disease. MAJOR GRANTS On the other hand, we are analysing Chagas’ disease. Different genetic lineages have been defined in Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of this disease. However, understanding of their comparative biology and pathogenesis is fragmentary. We were able to develop genetic tools to identify infecting strains in patients. We have identified different T dependent immune responses both in patients and mouse model that differ depending of the infecting strain. Besides, we are studying how the parasite enters, infects and escapes destruction by myeloid cells, defining Slamf1 (CD150) as a new T. cruzi receptor. In contrast, we found that Slamf8 (CD353) is a cell surface receptor that is expressed upon activation of macrophages by IFN- • Manuel Fresno Escudero.

Among those genes, we identified, mPGES1, PMEPA1 and DUSP10 as Cox-2 induced molecules in ovarian or colon cancer. mPGES1 is involved in increased growth in vivo and in vitro and is always co-expressed with Cox-2 in colon tumors and is induced through a PGF2alfa/Egr-1 mechanism. DUSP10 controls stress response to serum deprivation and confluence arrest whereas PMEP1A induce Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), key in promoting tumorogenicity on colon or ovarian carcinoma. At the molecular level, DUSP10 inhibits p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, whereas PMEPA1 is able to inhibit phosphorylation of SMAD1,5,8 by TGF .

Using a tamoxifen-inducible mice model that allows for the deletion of this protein once the pathology has been established, we have been able to proof that GRK2 deletion not only prevents but also reverts weight gain and IR (manuscript in preparation in collaboration with the groups of Dr. Federico Mayor and Dr. Annemieke Kavelaars and Dr. Cobi Heijnen in MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas at Houston). 3.- Analysis of the cardiac effect of lowering GRK2 levels in adult (9 months-old) mice fed with high fat diet, as well as characterization of the status of key cardioprotective signaling routes in hemizygous GRK2 mice (Lucas E et al, manuscript submitted in collaboration with the groups of Dr. W.J.Koch- Temple University-and Dr. Javier Díez-CIMA-). Fig.1. Role of GRK2 in hypertension and vascular responses. GRK2 participates in the regulation of vasoconstrictor and vasodilator G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). However, GRK2 is also involved in non GPCR-dependent pathways such as the interaction with Akt that inhibits Akt-dependent activation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) thus impairing nitric oxide (NO) production. Upon Angiotensin II (AngII) challenge, adult GRK2+/- mice show improved vascular remodeling, decreased vascular stiffness, increased Akt activation, less reduced eNOS expression and increased NO production. This provokes decreased vasoconstrictor and increased vasodilator responses what, together with improved vascular structure and mechanics, leads to resistance to severe AngII-induced hypertension. • ES2382289B1 (2010) & PCT /ES2011/070774 (2011): "Péptido inhibidor de p38 y sus aplicaciones". • ES 201131754 (2011) &PCT/ES2012/070762 (2012).

The main objectives within this project during 2013 have been aimed to the analysis of the effects of prostanoids and LXR ligands in leukocyte (T cells and macrophages) function and activation. Regarding to this, we have shown the influence of COX-2 derivatives on macrophage migration by the use of COX-2 KO mice. We are also working on the differential effect of prostanoids as PGF2 or cyclopentenones on macrophage and T cell activation. In particular, we have some interesting data about their effects on the regulation of gene expression in these cells. In addition, we have started a new line of research focused in the analysis of the role of other bioactive – 48 – Fig.1. Cyclooxygenase-2 deficiency in macrophages impairs macrophage migration. A) Cell recruitment to the peritoneal cavity is diminished in cox-2-/- mice. Quantification of the total number of cells migrated to the peritoneal cavity of cox-2+/+ or cox-2-/- mice four days after i.p. injection of sodium thioglycolate. B) Flow cytometry analysis of cell populations in the peritoneal cavity of cox-2+/+ and cox-2-/- mice shows that the decrease in the total number of migrated cells in cox-2-/- mice was almost exclusively due to a reduction in the migration of F4/80+ CD11c+ CD11b+ macrophages The number of CD3+ cells (T lymphocytes), CD45R/B220+ cells (mainly B lymphocytes), NK1.1+ cells (NK cells) and Gr1+ cells (granulocytes) recruited to the peritoneal cavity was similar in cox-2+/+ or cox2-/- mice. lipids in inflammation, including oxidized derivatives of cholesterol as oxysterols and LXR (liver receptor X) ligands. LXR ligands play a central regulatory role in lipid uptake, metabolism and efflux through their properties as transcriptional regulators of gene expression. In addition to their function in lipid metabolism, LXRs have also been found to modulate immune and inflammatory responses. In this regard, our data show the influence of these agents in the modulation of T cell and macrophage activation, with a key role as negative regulators of gene expression in these cells.

We have demonstrated differential avidity behaviour when comparing gastro-allergic Anisakiasis and Anisakis associated chronic urticaria (AACU). With respect to the characterization of AACU, we have concluded a clinical trial, confirming a complex relationship between fish-eating habits, cytokine production and prognosis.

Endogenous testosterone, muscle strength, and fat-free Fig.1. Peritoneal dialysis attenuates ischemia-induced increases in plasma glutamate concentration and cerebral infarct size. (A) The glutamate concentration was determined in plasma samples taken prior to (basal) and at different times (hours) after pMCAO (samples were taken at 2.5 hours [S2.5], 4.5 hours [S4.5], 5.5 hours [S5.5], and 24 hours [S24]), with peritoneal dialysis initiated 2.5 hours after pMCAO induction. Cerebral infarct size was measured 24 hours after pMCAO. Plasma glutamate (normalized to basal levels) and cerebral infarct size were determined in the following conditions: (B, D, and E) pMCAO as well as pMCAO plus peritoneal dialysis at 2.5 hours [+dialysis (2.5h)]; (C and D) pMCAO plus peritoneal dialysis at 2.5 hours with 400 ⎧M glutamate in the dialysate [+dialysis (2.5h) 400 ⎧M GLU] as well as sham-operated rats (SHAM); and (D) pMCAO plus peritoneal dialysis at 5 hours [+dialysis (5h)]. (E) Correlation between plasma glutamate (measured 4.5 hours after pMCAO) and infarct size. The average basal glutamate values were 51.8 ± 2.6 ⎧M (n = 21). Data represent the mean ± SEM, and n = 5–9 for each condition. *P < 0.05 versus basal values (ANOVA); #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 versus corresponding values in pMCAO (ANOVA); &&&P < 0.001 versus corresponding values in [+dialysis (2.5h)] (ANOVA).

Effects of apo B and apoE knockdown in HCV cell-to-cell spread rina, is frequently not effective depending on both viral and host factors. We are interested in understanding how HCV interacts with target cells, with particular emphasis on the role of the cellular factors implicated in different steps of the viral life cycle including entry, assembly, egress and spread. Our unpublished studies have determined that HCV egress is a clathrin-dependent process. We have also analyzed the role of apolipoproteins E and B in HCV cell to cell spread. In overall, these studies may provide new insights for our understanding of virus-host interactions and the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatotropic viruses-related pathogenesis of progressive liver disease.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0060776 GROUP 23 HEAD OF LABORATORY Ricardo Moreno Otero – 62 – RESEARCH INTEREST During last years our research group has been particularly focused on identifying useful non-invasive prognostic biomarkers of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The altered expression of multiple angiogenic and fibrogenic-related factors during the course of CHC provides a valuable tool for the non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis, clue for clinical decision-making. Among other clinical and demographic variables, peripheral levels of angiopoietins correlated significantly with hepatic fibrosis (Figure 1). Such finding allowed us to develop a novel index for non invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis, AngioScore, which was further validated in an independent series of patients with CHC (PMID: 23823085). Monocytes, essential precursors of antigen-presenting cells, notably contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer. Interestingly, we detected in the peripheral blood of CHC patients a significant increment of a subtype of monocytes, with marked proangiogenic properties but notable immunosuppressive nature, able to express the angiopoietin receptor Tie2 (TEMs), highlighting the relevant role of Angiopoietin/Tie-2 axis on the regulation of inflammatory response during the progression of chronic liver diseases (PMID:23419030). Fig.2. Decision tree model of response to CHC treatment, calculated by the CHAID algorithm. The hierarchy model included IL-28B, HDAC2, age and HDAC5 as significant factors for treatment decision. Pie charts indicate the rate (%) of response (black) and nonresponse (gray) in each group of patients after splitting for each factor. The number of patients and the percentage that is represented in the overall population are indicated under each pie chart. Pc: corrected P-value. In addition, we have characterized the significance of certain genetic variants of ISGs and HDACs for the optimization of IL28B predictive value of therapeutic response of CHC patients (Figure 2, PMID:23615070); interestingly, some of them were markedly related to fibrosis progression (Patents: ES-2422874_A1 and ES2423154_A1).

Influence of apolipoproteins on the association between lipids and – 70 – RESEARCH INTEREST During the last decade, genetic association studies have proved to be useful for identifying biomarkers for susceptibility to complex multifactorial diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but, in most of the cases, there is a lack of functional testing of the identified genes. Therefore, we aimed to identify genetic variants that are associated with, and directly influence the development of, NAFLD. For this purpose, a candidate gene-association study was performed, followed by functional analyses of the associated gene. Allele frequencies of 3,072 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 92 genes AREA 1 Fig.1. Differential expression of SLC2A1 in liver biopsies. Y-axis indicates the FC of SLC2A1 mRNA expression detected in control and NAFLD liver biopsies relative to the characterized housekeeping genes (GAPDH and ARP). Values of relative FC and their standard deviation (SD) are detailed in the table, where “n” is the number of biopsies considered in each group and a t test was performed Fig.2.

Diferences between siControl and siSLC2A1-transfected cells were statistically significant (*P<0.05). were characterized in 69 NAFLD patients and 217 healthy individuals. Several SNPs of SLC2A1 (solute carrier family 2 member 1) showed association with NAFLD, but not with T2DM, with the haplotype con- A cell-free form of the fatty acid translocase CD36 has recently been identified in human plasma and was termed soluble CD36 (sCD36). A recent large cross-sectional study on non-diabetic healthy subjects found that sCD36 is associated with fatty liver, suggesting that sCD36 might be a biomarker of liver fat. Therefore, we aimed to determine serum sCD36 levels in a population of 399 individuals including patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD, with chronic hepatitis C and with histologically normal liver, searching for potential correlations between circulating sCD36 and hepatic CD36 expression as well as clinical, metabolic and histological features of each liver disease. The main conclusion of this study is that serum level of sCD36 correlates with the histological grade of steatosis and is an independent factor associated with advanced steatosis in NAFLD but not in chronic hepatitis C patients. This easily accessible biomarker, if appropriately validated by independent researchers as a potential marker of steatosis severity, may represent a promising tool for future studies on the epidemiology, non-invasive diagnosis, treatment outcome and prognosis of NAFLD (2).

Geneexpression analysis demonstrated a significant down-regulation of SLC2A1 in NAFLD livers. In vitro silencing of SLC2A1 induces an increased oxidative stress activity and a higher lipid accumulation under oleic acid treatment. Based on these findings, we conclude that genetic variants of SLC2A1 are associated with NAFLD and in vitro down-regulation of this gene promotes lipid accumulation (1).

Our group has wide experience in the performance of numerous phase I, II and III clinical trials, with Dr. AbadSantos and Dolores Ochoa as principal investigators. We have available a Clinical Trials Unit, with capacity for 14 patients (7th floor, Hospital Universitario de la Princesa). Clinical trials performed include safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, interaction and bioequivalence stud- – 80 – Fig.1.

(B) CYP2C8: *l/*l (n=10), 2 carriers (n=1), 3 carriers (n=7), and 4 carriers (n=2). ies in healthy volunteers, and studies in patients to probe the efficacy of new drugs in collaboration with several specialists in the hospital and primary care. Our group has performed more than 30 clinical trials during 2013. Pharmacogenetic research is related with various clinical diseases, trying to look for new pharmacogenetic markers to predict drug responses, both therapeutic and toxic, that could help physicians to decide the best treatment for every patient. In 2013, 240 patients benefited from pharmacogenetic testing. During 2013, our group had published 15 articles related to pharmacogenetics of several drugs (antipsychotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, biological drugs, angiotensin receptor blockers) and clinical trials. In addition, we participated in 2 projects, one about biomarkers predicting response to biological drugs in psoriasis, and other about generic drugs. MAJOR GRANTS • Francisco Abad Santos.

Diurnal variation of experienced well-being (positive and negative affect) in population samples of 6 different countries (Ayuso Mateos, 2013) Fig.2. Cumulative distribution functions of Quality of Life (WHO-QOL) scores by group of age in three different European countries and total. tions in affective disorders: Our team is working on a randomized clinical trial to verify the efficacy of methylphenidate in patients with acute bipolar mania (MEMAP study). In addition we are conducting a multiapproach study for the identification of the available interventions for targeting psychosocial difficulties in major depression (meta-analyses and expert consultation) (MARATONE project). Finally our team has demonstrated the usefulness of a novel psychological coadjutant intervention (functional remediation) specifically aimed to improve neurocognitive deficits and global functioning of bipolar disorders. • Assessment of the health status, quality of life, and well-being in large population studies: Our research staff has been publishing numerous scientific works from a health survey comprising representative sample of adults from Poland, Finland, and Spain (COURAGE in Europe project). Our team has also compared these data to make other cross-national comparisons with other available datasets from other countries (e.g. India, Mexico) and validating new tools to measure the wellbeing at population level. In addition, the team has received funding from Carlos III National health institute to conduct the second wave of this health survey including the Spanish population. • Identification of the priorities for mental health research in Europe: Our team is also participating in an important European project aimed to identify the main gaps of knowledge in mental health research and to set the priorities for mental health and well-being research in Europe (ROAMER project) • Prevention and promotion of mental health in low and middle income countries (LAMICs): We are participating in an international project (EMERALD project) aimed to enhance mental health in LAMICs by means of improvement of all the systems related to health care. The project is willing to identify the main barriers that health systems have to overcome to apply treatments of mental disorders and to subsequently foster and improve the quality of mental health care in LAMICs. • Study of the environmental and genetic risk factors for the development of psychotic episodes: Our group is working in collaboration with Niño Jesús hospital to identify some of the risk factors for first psychotic episodes. This is part of a multi-center longitudinal study (AGES-CM project) in which we are interviewing patients and their families to collect social, psychological and genetic factors that may be responsible for the onset of this symptomatology. In addition, it is expected to conduct a psycho-educational intervention within this program to improve the autonomy and selfawareness of the younger participants. • • • • • • • • • MAJOR GRANTS • José Luis Ayuso Mateos.

When estimating functional connectivity between extended cortical areas, the influence of epileptic spikes in specific areas should be considered; however, this step is sometimes overlooked. We present a simple method for quantifying the influence of epileptic activity on background signal synchronization. Standard synchronization measures were calculated for both pure correlated Gaussian signals and correlat- – 88 – Fig.1.

Analysis of scalp and foramen ovale electrodes showing abnormal desynchronization (electrodes Rf5 and Rf6) in the right mesial area, in a patient with right temporal lobe epilepsy. ed Gaussian signals with different levels of epileptic spikes in order to determine the influence of epileptic activity on synchronization estimates. Synchronization from invasive epileptic recordings (e.g., depth electrodes) displays a much higher bias due to epileptic activity than superficial electrodes. Moreover, statistical methods such as mutual information are more affected by spike presence than phase synchronization methods. The influence of spikes is far greater at low values of background synchronization. The information provided by this procedure makes it possible to differentiate true background synchronization from spike synchronization. Thus, our procedure serves as a guide for analyzing synchronization and functional connectivity calculations in epileptic recordings. AREA 2 • Guillermo Ortega Rabbione.

However, many other rheumatologic diseases such as scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic vasculitis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, etc. are objectives of the research work conducted by our researchers. Once again, as a result of this intense activity of the group, some of its members have been requested to participate in the drafting of several documents to establish consensus guidelines for the rational use of biological therapies or imaging techniques in which the establishment of proper cost / benefit ratio is of great importance in the current economic situation. We would like to acknowledge the generous collaboration of our patients in our research projects. Their willingness to participate in our studies support the notion that they support our efforts to discover new biomarkers allowing us to treat them more efficiently. • • • • • MAJOR GRANTS • Rosario García de Vicuña Pinedo.

Dr. Luís Madero (Identifying and validating biomarkers of relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, PI13/02475) and Dr. Manuel Ramírez (Study of mechanisms of action of CELYVIR in pediatric tumors: optimizing clinical outcomes, PI13/02487) are principal investigators in each of these projects. – 116 – Fig.1.

While no differences in relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were observed between patients with (FCM+) or without (FCM-) CNS leukemia at diagnosis, the detection of subclinical CNS disease by FCM during maintenance was associated with significantly lower 3-years RFS and OS. A sensitive methodology like FCM can be applied for a close follow-up of the levels of ALL in AREA 3 MAJOR GRANTS • Luis Madero López.

SanofiAventis. Duration: 2013 – 2014. RESEARCH INTEREST PUBLICATIONS (2) [IF: 7,587] Chromosomal translocations that give rise to fusion proteins are frequently associated with the etiology of hematologic neoplasm. The search for small tyrosine-kinase inhibitors specific for fusion protein leading to leukemia is an active area of research after the success of imatinibbased therapy. We have described the transforming and tumorigenic activity of a new fusion protein, BCR-JAK2, obtained from a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This chimeric protein involves the BCR oligomerization domain fused to the JAK2 tyrosinekinase domain. JAK2 is a non-receptor tyrosine-kinase that mediates signaling of different cytokine receptors and is crucial to normal hematopoiesis through the recruitment of downstream effectors of cell proliferation and survival. Our group successfully proved that cells expressing BCR-JAK2 developed tumors when injected subcutaneously into immunodeficient mice. In addition, using a retrovirally-transduced bone marrow progenitor transplantation model in mice, we demonstrated BCRJAK2 as the driving force of myeloproliferative disorder with a fatal outcome.

We collaborate in several topics, principally Mannose-binding lectin and surfactant protein, related to different aspects of host defense in pneumonia. A great deal of articles has been published recently, focused on three key issues: Late pneumonia mortality, Cardiovascular events and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), and Biomarkers and CAP. New scores for the prognosis of CAP that take into account the appearance of cardiovascular events have been proposed, Various articles dealing with the handling of CAP with the help of several biomarkers have also been published, in order to try to differentiate the degree of severity of CAP, or help to improve patient stratification in accordance with their levels of inflammatory cytokines. We have initiated a research project (funded by FISS): Incidence of cardiovascular Fig.1. Meta-analysis of association between MBL2 and pneumococcal pneumonia. RE: random effects. *: additional group of patients events following hospitalization for communityacquired pneumonia in adults and its association with different markers of inflammation. In this project we intend to quantify the incidence of cardiovascular disease, in adult patients, in the year after hospital admittance due to CAP, and to establish its possible relationship with mortality. Moreover, we will try to describe the distribution in CAP patients of a wide spectrum of immune response mediators upon the admittance to and release from hospital. In this study some already well-known mediators, and some others that are being analyzed for the first time, have been included. This will permit to characterize an inflammatory profile for these patients and determine its possible relationship with the incidence of cardiovascular disease. MAJOR GRANTS • Javier Aspa Marco.

Correlation between outpatient antibiotic use in 2005 in DID (Defined Daily Dose per 1000 inhabitants) and proportion of resistant H. pylori strains isolated from adults and children in 17 European countries. (A) macrolide use and clarithromycin resistance (B) quinolone use and levofloxacin resistance. patient antibiotic use and resistance levels in different countries. Data on yearly and cumulative use of systemic antibacterial agents in ambulatory care for the period 2001-8 were expressed in Defined Daily Doses (DDD) per 1000 inhabitants per day. Of 2204 patients included, H pylori resistance rates for adults were 17.5% for clarithromycin, 14.1% for levofloxacin and 34.9% for metronidazole, and were significantly higher for clarithromycin and levofloxacin in Western/Central and Southern Europe (>20%) than in Northern European countries (<10%). Model fit improved for each additional year of antibiotic use accumulated, but the best fit was obtained for 2005. A significant association was found between outpatient quinolone use and the proportion of levofloxacin resistance (p=0.0013) and between the use of long-acting macrolides only and clarithromycin resistance (p=0.036) (figure 1). 2.- Geographic differences in bacterial distribution Helicobacter pylori and Non tuberculosis mycobacteria were analyzed in 2 different studies for geographic differences. Recent evidence suggests that in the current human mixing in Latin America, European H. pylori (hpEurope) are increasingly dominant at the expense of Amerindian haplotypes (hspAmerind). This phenomenon might occur via DNA recombination, modulated by restriction-modification systems (RMS), in which differences in cognate recognition sites (CRS) and in active methylases will determine direction and frequency of gene flow. The observed and expected frequencies of CRS for RMS in DNA from 7 H. pylori whole genomes and 110 multilocus sequences were determined. The number of active methylases by resistance to in vitro digestion by 16 restriction enzymes of genomic DNA from 9 hpEurope and 9 hspAmerind strains, and determined the direction of DNA uptake in co-culture experiments of hspAmerind and hpEurope strains were also measured. Most of the CRS were underrepresented with consistency between whole genomes and multilocus sequences. Although neither the frequency of CRS nor the number of active methylases differ among the bacterial populations (average 8.6 ± 2.6), hspAmerind strains had a restriction profile distinct from that in hpEurope strains, with 15 recognition sites accounting for the differences. Amerindians strains also exhibited higher transformation rates than European strains, and were more susceptible to be subverted by larger DNA hpEurope-fragments than vice versa. In conclusion, the geographical variation in the pattern of CRS – 139 – AREA 3AREA 2 AREA 1 Fig.2. Model of H. pylori strain dynamics in Latin America hosts. Advanced therapies and individualized medicine provides evidence for ancestral differences in RMS representation and function, and the transformation findings support the hypothesis of Europeanization of the Amerindian strains in Latin America via DNA recombination (Figure 2). A significant knowledge gap exists concerning the geographical distribution of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolation worldwide. To provide a snapshot of NTM species distribution, global partners in the NTM-Network European Trials Group (NET) framework, provided identification results of the total number of patients in 2008 in whom NTM were isolated from pulmonary samples (identification data for 20.182 patients, 62 laboratories in 30 countries across six continents). 91 different NTM species were isolated. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacteria predominated in most countries, followed by M. gordonae and M. xenopi with important differences in geographical distribution. These differences in species distribution may partly determine the frequency and manifestations of pulmonary NTM disease in each geographical location. 3.- Helicobacter pylori: Study of Phages The presence of phages was detected by studying the genetic sequences related with phages in H. pylori clinical isolates and a high percentage of strains with phage integrase was found. One H. pylori strains, HP146128, was sequenced and aligned with J99 whole sequence founding 2 unpaired regions. One present in J99 correspond to Cag Pathogenicity Ireland. The second is an inversion (position 1.475.137 to 1.563.951 in J99 genome) also described in H. pylori HPAG1. Genes were detected and translate to proteins and selected those similar to known phages: 3 integrases, a gene Fic/Doc (Fic, Filamentous Induced by cAMP, related to cellular division) and Doc, Death On Cure, both of them involved in killing daughter bacteria without prophage after lysogenie. Some proteins found in the 4 possible prophage in HP146128 genome (Prophage Finder) were: gp250, an adenylsuccinate sintetase homologous present in Micobacteriaceae and other bacteria phages, the citosine-methylase of Sulfolobus STSV1, homologous of restriction-modification systems, a ribonucleotide-reductase, a methylase, a subunit of DNA polymerase, and a unknown function protein of phage origin. 4.- In vitro activity of different antifungal agents. A population-based survey was conducted to investigate the epidemiology of antifungal resistance in Spanish clinical – 140 – strains of filamentous fungi isolated from deep tissue samples, blood cultures, and respiratory samples. The study was conducted in two different periods (October 2010 and May 2011) to analyze seasonal variations. A total of 325 strains were isolated in 29 different hospitals. The average prevalence was 0.0016/1,000 inhabitants. Strains were identified by sequencing of DNA targets and susceptibility testing by the European Committee for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing reference procedure. The most frequently isolated genus was Aspergillus, accounting for 86.3% of the isolates (A. fumigates, 48.5%, A. flavus, 8.4%, A. terreus, 8.1%, A. tubingensis, 6.8%, and A. niger, 6.5%), followed by Scedosporium at 4.7%; the order Mucorales at 2.5%; Penicillium at 2.2%, and Fusarium at 1.2%.. Cryptic/sibling Aspergillus species accounted for 12% of the cases. Resistance to amphotericin B was found in 10.8% of the isolates tested, while extended-spectrum triazole resistance ranged from 10 to 12.7%, depending on the azole tested. Antifungal resistance was more common among emerging species such as those of Scedosporium and Mucorales and also among cryptic species of Aspergillus, with 40% of these isolates showing resistance to all of the antifungal compounds tested. Cryptic Aspergillus species seem to be underestimated, and their correct classification could be clinically relevant. 5.- Quantitative PCR for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection Using 380 samples from 135 hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients, the new FDA approved quantitative PCR assay, COBAS(®) AmpliPrep/COBAS(®) TaqMan(®) CMV test (CAP/CTM CMV test) developed and standardized using the 1st WHO International Standard for CMV with pp65 antigenemia and COBAS(®) AMPLICOR MONITOR CMV tests were compared. The median time between transplantation and testing samples was 57 days (range, 0-207 days). The median CMV load (log(10)) was 3.17 IU/mL (3.21 copies/mL). Among samples with detectable CMV load, 52% were negative by pp65 antigenemia. CMV loads were higher in pp65 antigenemia-positive than in negative samples. One pp65-antigenemia-positive cell per 100,000 leukocytes corresponded to a median CMV load of 1200 IU/mL. CMV loads determined by the CAP/CTM CMV test were slightly lower than the ones by the AMPLICOR MONITOR CMV test (-0.15 [95% CI, -0.18 to -0.13] copies/mL), but slope differences indicated only limited co-linearity.

National Register Of Prostate Cancer Treated with Radiotherapy (RECAP) • We participate in the design of this ambitious project whose most relevant work is the construction of nomograms for predicting the development of metastases and biochemical failure in cancer of prostate treated with radiation therapy. Bladder Cancer - Bladder Sparing Program The optimal management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer remains a continuous subject of controversy. Although trimodality treatment, including transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) and radio-chemotherapy (RCT), has proven to be an alternative to primary cystectomy, the optimal regimen and combination of RT and chemotherapy remains to be established. Our team is one of the most active and successfully experienced groups in the conservative treatment of invasive bladder cancer. We continue to study the optimal sequence of treatment concerning tumor control, bladder preservation quality of life and efficient delivery. MAJOR GRANTS • Almudena Zapatero Laborda.

The multicentric study on oropharyngeal cancer related to Human Papilloma Virus, sponsored by Fundación Mutua Madrileña, has been published in Head & Neck journal and in Clinical & Translational Oncology, both included in the citation index and Medline. Several conference talks have been given on this subject, the most recent one on the HPH Infection Conference held in the Hospital Universitario Infanta Leonor, Madrid, on May 28, 2014. – 148 – Fig.1. Proportion of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas in different countries. The incidence in Spain has been taken from our study: Incidence of human papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal cancer and outcomes after chemoradiation. Head Neck 2014; 36:782-786. We are planning to expand this research, analyzing all patients with oropharyngeal cancer treated from 2011 to 2014 from six large hospitals in Madrid and studying the percentage of HPV positive. Thus, we will have a clear picture of the incidence of oropharyngeal cancer related to HPV infection in our region. A review on neck dissection after chemoradiation for head and neck cancer has been done, in collaboration with the E.N.T. department, and the Radiology department to establish which patients undergoing a conservative treatment need to be operated. Our multicentric phase III study on the benefit of Clonidine for the prevention of oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients has completed accrual now and statistical analysis is planned for this year. Also, the study on intranasal Fentanyl for the treatment of pain associated with oral mucositis, has completed its accrual now. The results of these trials will help to improve the quality of life of head and neck cancer patients. MAJOR GRANTS • Consuelo López Elzaurdia.

Vardenafil is one of the more effective 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors in patients with ED and DM. We have determined plasma proteome of patients with DM and the effect of vardenafil administration in the expression of proteins related to inflammatory oxidative stress and cellular homeostasis. We have observed a significant negative correlation between plasma levels of beta-tropomyosin and IIEF-EF score. Elevated levels of beta-tropomyosin in plasma indicate cell damage and loss of cellular regenerative capacity. • Urothelial cancer: Exosomes extracellular vesicles are potent intercellular mediators containing membrane and cytosolic proteins, mRNA and specific miRNA, which in turn can be obtained from fluids such as urine. We have analyzed urinary exosomas, miRNA and protein content in order to find diagnostic markers for bladder urothelial cancer. Some of the miRNAs that are involved in tumor cell proliferation, inhibition of tumor suppressor genes, activation of EMT and metastatic state, are significantly reduced in urinary exosomes from patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma and may be useful as non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers in bladder cancer. With regard to surgical techniques, we have optimized the diagnosis and therapeutic endourologic approach to the upper urothelial tract cancer.
