Head and Neck Cancer: Biomedical Research Cancer Stem cells

The work of the Biomedical Research in Cancer Stem Cell group focuses mainly on senescence (replicative or stress-induced oncoge). In our laboratory, we carry out several genetic screens based on the detection of new genes / small interfering RNA (siRNA) / microRNAs related to cell proliferation, which have a role in cancer. Therefore, we use different cell models: murine cells, human primary cells or immortalized cells capable of entering senescence.

The objectives of the group are:

  • Identification and characterization of genes / microRNAs in mammary tumors associated with a more aggressive character (triple negative).
  • Identification and characterization of markers in lung, laryngeal and pharyngeal cancer with diagnostic and prognostic value that help to target a more specific chemotherapy treatment.
  • Identification and characterization of populations of cancer stem cells (CSC) in tumors resistant to conventional therapies.
  • Early detection of breast cancer before it manifests itself clinically.
  • Study of new genes involved in cancer from their identification in massive genetic scans at the basic level.

Detección precoz de cáncer mamario antes de que éste se manifieste

A partir de datos preliminares de arrays, hemos caracterizado algunos microRNAs/mRNAs relevantes en tumores. Actualmente los estamos analizando a nivel de pacientes con cáncer en sangre como posible método predictivo antes de la aparición del tumor.

Estudio de proteínas de unión a RNA como nuevos factores pronóstico y diagnóstico en cáncer

En nuestro laboratorio hemos efectuado diversos “screenings” genéticos para detectar nuevos genes implicados en proliferación celular in vitro que además poséan un papel relevante en cáncer humano. De entre ellos descubrimos la proteínas CIRP, la cual hemos descrito como proteína oncogénica. Actualmente estamos valorando la función de CIRP en diversos tipos tumorales en correlación con la evolución clínica de los pacientes.

Gastroesophageal reflux prevalence in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Different studies suggest the association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and OSAS, but GERD prevalence in OSAS and the severity influence of OSAS upon  GERD are not known yet.

OBJECTIVES:

The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of GERD in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome using conventional polygraphic sleep. Wiht this study we also want to assess the efficacy of a symptom questionnaire in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux in these patients.


PURPOSE:

Identifying patients with gastroesophageal reflux among patients affected by obstructive sleep apnea, in order to establish therapeutic measures to prevent GERD complications.
