Translational Molecular Pathology

Our group aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms of cancer progression and metastasis to identify new diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic targets in cancer. By combining the knowledge and availability of human tumors in the Pathology department with the expertise of the basic molecular cell biology research group, we focus on:

  • Understanding: the molecular mechanisms underlying clonal cooperation and intercellular communication in heterogeneous tumors.
  • The role of MNK kinases in cellular stress resistance.
  • The role of ITGB3 in intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles in cancer metastasis (Santiago Ramon y Cajal).
  • The role of direct cell-cell communication via gap junctions and intercellular protrusions in cancer (Trond Aasen)
  • The malignant transition of Plexiform Neurofibromas (Cleofe Romagosa).

Study of CAP-dependent and CAP-independent signalling pathways in breast carcinomas.

In previous works we studied several factors involved in cell signalling pathways that control cell growth. The found that the phosphorylated form of 4E-BP1 was the only factor that correlated with prognosis, and histologic aggressive features in several types of cancers. 4E-BP1 is a key regulator of CAP-dependent traslation and its main function is the inactivation of eIF4E. However, not all the aggressive tumors show activation of this factor. On the other hand, it has been shown that under hypoxia conditions cells the translation of some key factors can be regulated by CAP-independent pathways, mediated by factors known as ITAFs. The aim of our study is to find the CAP-depdendent/CAP-independent balance in tumors in relation to hypoxia, and evaluate its impact on prognosis.

Study of Cell Signalling pathway in human tumors. Identification of funnel factors.

We have characterized the levels of activation in Cell Signalling in a spectrum of solid tumors and correlated the levels of various factors, including mTOR and downstream proteins (p70S6K, S6, 4EBP1, eIF4E) with prognosis and grade of malignancy. Also, are being characterized, at the molecular level, the factors involved in controlling the translation cap dependent and independent in malignant tumors.

Study of gene expression of senescence in human tumors

The expression of mARN genes identified by Dr.R. Bernards has been studied in normal and tumor tissue of cancer patients. This study identifies for the first time, RSK4 and KIAA0828 genes as genes whose role may be relevant in cancer. The expression of these genes is being studied in protein by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Also are characterizing the biochemical pathways where these genes may be involved.

Study of new genes involved in proliferation

Searching for new proliferative genes/tumor suppressor genes is being performed at our laboratory by carring out genetic screens. By the use of retroviral vectors as carriers of a cDNA libraries (formed by mRNA from murine embryonic stem cells), primary cells are infected and screening for those clones able to bypass senescence are selected for further characterization. The marked morphological heterogeneity observed in several tumorigenic process, support the hypothesis that several cancers have their origin in a stem cell. It is believed that genes expressed by embryonic stem cells, may play an important role in the tumorigenic mechanism.This project unravels the effect of immortal genes existing in embryonic stem cells, when are forced to be expressed in primary and thereby mortal cells. These immortal genes are future candidate markers in tumors with potential prognosis value. The novel genes discovered, are being analyzed in the biopsies from patients with different kinds of tumors collected at the Pathology Department of the Vall d´Hebrón Hospital.
