Primary and metastatic brain cancer genomics and emerging biomarkers for immunomodulatory cancer treatment
2018
Abstract: Recent studies with immunomodulatory agents targeting both cytotoxic T-lymphocyte protein 4 (CTLA4) and programmed cell death 1 (PD1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL1) have shown to be very effective in several cancers revealing an unexpected great activity in patients with both primary and metastatic brain tumors. Combining anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD1 agents as upfront systemic therapy has revealed to further increase the clinical benefit observed with single agent, even at cost of higher toxicity. Since the brain is an immunological specialized area it's crucial to establish the specific composition of the brain tumors' micro environment in order to predict the potential activit…
CTLA4-Linked Autoimmunity in the Pathogenesis of Endometriosis and Related Infertility: A Systematic Review
2022
Several studies, although with conflicting results, have sought to determine the concentration of soluble CTLA4 antigens in peripheral blood plasma and peritoneal fluid in patients with endometriosis-related infertility. A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) through a search of the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Global Health, The Cochrane Library, Health Technology Assessment Database and Web of Science, and Clinical Trials research register. We included observational or prospective human and animal studies with any features related to endometriosis and/or infertility studies involving CTLA4-rel…
Desarrollo y efecto antitumoral de vacunas génicas celulares y silenciamiento génico
2015
La presente tesis utiliza las vacunas antitumorales basadas en células modificadas genéticamente como principal estrategia para intentar lograr una respuesta inmune antitumoral eficaz. La vacunación preventiva con células tumorales modificadas genéticamente ha logrado muy buenos resultados en ratones consiguiendo la inhibición del crecimiento tumoral y la supervivencia final de los mismos. Sin embargo, en la clínica la disponibilidad de ciertas células tumorales es muy baja y su transfección es poco reproducible. Por ello, en esta tesis se plantea como uno de los objetivos principales desarrollar y evaluar el efecto antitumoral de vacunas basadas en complejos celulares formados por células …
