Systemic Diseases

The Systemic Diseases group performs translational research based on at least 300 patients with systemic lupus erytomatosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), systemic sclerosis, vasculitis, dermatomyitis, Sjörgen syndrome or autoinflammatory syndromes in order to better understand their pathogenesis (both at the immunological and genetic regulation level), study their clinical and biological expression (through the detection of new markers that help characterize each of the autoimmune diseases), study morbimortality (through epidemiological studies) and analyse patients' response to medications. With these goals in mind, we seek to improve the diagnosis, clinical monitoring, and prognosis of our patients.

Infection and Autoimmunity: relevance of Human Endogenous Retrovirus (HERV) in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

Antibodies against HERVs have been detected in patients suffering from some autoimmune diseases such as SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, and multiple sclerosis. We mainly focus our research on trying to detect these antibodies in our patients affected with SLE. We have recently cloned some recombinant proteins specific for HERVs. We are simultaneously evaluating the transcription levels of several HERV proteins in T CD4+ lymphocytes from SLE patients.

International Classification Criteria project for neuro-Behçet disease.

We are currently enrolled in this multicentre study coordinated by Dr. Seema Kalra from University Hospital of North Staffordshire (UK). The study aims to define new diagnostic criteria for neuro-Behçet disease. A set of neurologists, rheumatologists and specialists in Internal Medicine from different countries, experts in the diagnosis and management of this disease, will try to define a new set of diagnostic criteria based on clinical expertise, and in the most new laboratory and radiology modern tests.

International Classification Criteria Project.

This is a multicentric study aimed at defining new diagnosis criteria for muscular inflammatory diseases. Although criteria given by Bohan and Peter are still used in clinical practice, some inflammatory diseases such as inclusion body myositis are not included. The hytopathological classification performed by Dalakas includes the latter entity but it does not take into account neither the paraneoplastic myositis nor those associated to systemic diseases.

Lung involvement in inflammatory myopathies.

With this study we want to study the natural history of this syndrome mediated by anti-synthetase antibodies, the characterization of new antibodies that may be used as markers for lung involvement, as well as we aim at understanding better the etiopathogenicity and the treatment of this organic illness in patients with myositis.

Researchers have used an innovative protocol to identify people with this autoimmune disease who have a higher risk of cancer.

It will allow the promotion of research on systemic autoimmune-based diseases that especially affect women of childbearing age and, therefore, can also appear during pregnancy.

The study showing how thrombocytopenia increases the risk of thrombosis in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome has been considered the best paper published in 2021.
