A Pathology-Based Combined Model to Identify PAM50 Non-luminal Intrinsic Disease in Hormone Receptor-Positive HER2-Negative Breast Cancer
2019
No luminal; Subtipus intrínsec; Càncer de mama No luminal; Subtipo intrínseco; Cáncer de mama Non-luminal; Intrinsic subtype, Breast cancer Background: In hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-negative breast cancer, the HER2-enriched and Basal-like intrinsic subtypes are associated with poor outcome, low response to anti-estrogen therapy and high response to chemotherapy. To date, no validated biomarker exists to identify both molecular entities other than gene expression. Methods: PAM50 subtyping and immunohistochemical data were obtained from 8 independent studies of 1,416 HR+/HER2-negative early breast tumors. A non-luminal disease score (NOLUS) from 0 to 100, based on percentage of estr…
Real‐world evidence of tisagenlecleucel for the treatment of relapsed or refractory large B‐cell lymphoma
2021
Abstract Tisagenlecleucel (tisa‐cel) is a second‐generation autologous CD19‐targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy approved for relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B‐cell lymphoma (LBCL). The approval was based on the results of phase II JULIET trial, with a best overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate in infused patients of 52% and 40%, respectively. We report outcomes with tisa‐cel in the standard‐of‐care (SOC) setting for R/R LBCL. Data from all patients with R/R LBCL who underwent leukapheresis from December 2018 until June 2020 with the intent to receive SOC tisa‐cel were retrospectively collected at 10 Spanish institutions. Toxicities were graded accor…
Prevention of Hereditary Angioedema Attacks with a Subcutaneous C1 Inhibitor
2017
Prevenció; Atac d'angioedema; Inhibidor C1 Prevención; Ataque de angioedema; Inhibidor C1 Prevention; Angioedema attack; C1 inhibitor BACKGROUND: Hereditary angioedema is a disabling, potentially fatal condition caused by deficiency (type I) or dysfunction (type II) of the C1 inhibitor protein. In a phase 2 trial, the use of CSL830, a nanofiltered C1 inhibitor preparation that is suitable for subcutaneous injection, resulted in functional levels of C1 inhibitor activity that would be expected to provide effective prophylaxis of attacks. METHODS: We conducted an international, prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, phase 3 trial to evaluate the …
The potential of serum neurofilament as biomarker for multiple sclerosis
2021
Abstract Multiple sclerosis is a highly heterogeneous disease, and the detection of neuroaxonal damage as well as its quantification is a critical step for patients. Blood-based serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is currently under close investigation as an easily accessible biomarker of prognosis and treatment response in patients with multiple sclerosis. There is abundant evidence that sNfL levels reflect ongoing inflammatory-driven neuroaxonal damage (e.g. relapses or MRI disease activity) and that sNfL levels predict disease activity over the next few years. In contrast, the association of sNfL with long-term clinical outcomes or its ability to reflect slow, diffuse neurodegenerativ…
Functional and bioactive properties of peptides derived from marine side streams
2021
In fish processing, a great amount of side streams, including skin, bones, heads and viscera, is wasted or downgraded as feed on a daily basis. These side streams are rich sources of bioactive nitrogenous compounds and protein, which can be converted into peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis as well as bacterial fermentation. Peptides are short or long chains of amino acids differing in structure and molecular weight. They can be considered as biologically active as they can contribute to physiological functions in organisms with applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In the food industry, such bioactive peptides can be used as preservatives or antioxidants to prevent food…
Differentiating Multiple Sclerosis From AQP4-Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder and MOG-Antibody Disease With Imaging.
2023
Background and ObjectivesRelapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), aquaporin-4 antibody–positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-NMOSD), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody–associated disease (MOGAD) may have overlapping clinical features. There is an unmet need for imaging markers that differentiate between them when serologic testing is unavailable or ambiguous. We assessed whether imaging characteristics typical of MS discriminate RRMS from AQP4-NMOSD and MOGAD, alone and in combination.MethodsAdult, nonacute patients with RRMS, APQ4-NMOSD, and MOGAD and healthy controls were prospectively recruited at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (L…
Funcionalizaciones estereoselectivas de iminolactonas quirales: aplicación a la síntesis de peptidomiméticos
2012
En los últimos años, la elucidación del genoma humano y el descubrimiento de péptidos con importantes actividades biológicas tales como hormonas, neurotransmisores y neuromoduladores, ha provocado un aumento en el interés del uso de este tipo de moléculas con fines terapéuticos. Sin embargo el uso de péptidos como fármacos presenta numerosos inconvenientes: - Tienen poca estabilidad metabólica al ser susceptibles de proteólisis por la acción de diferentes proteasas. - Son rápidamente eliminados a través del hígado y riñón. - Presentan una baja biodisponibilidad en fluidos biológicos. - Su elevada flexibilidad conformacional les dificulta conferir la estructura secundaria bioactiva. En este …
Péptidos derivados de lactoferrina bovina contra la hipertensión arterial: inhibición de los sistemas angiotensina y endotelina
2015
En esta Tesis Doctoral se ha caracterizado el mecanismo de acción de hidrolizados y péptidos antihipertensivos derivados de la proteína láctea lactoferrina bovina (LF). En concreto, se ha determinado su efecto sobre los principales componentes del sistema renina-angiotensina (RAS) y del sistema endotelina. Para ello, se han utilizado diferentes aproximaciones experimentales que incluyen en primer lugar ensayos in vitro para determinar los efectos inhibitorios sobre la actividad de la enzima conversora de angiotensina (ECA) y sobre la enzima conversora de endotelina (ECE). En segundo lugar, se realizaron ensayos funcionales ex vivo para comprobar en arterias aisladas los efectos vasoactivos …
Alteraciones en la producción y secreción de los péptidos natriuréticos y sus moléculas relacionadas en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca. Relació…
2016
La insuficiencia cardiaca es un síndrome multifactorial de gran impacto en la asistencia sanitaria debido al aumento de la morbilidad y la mortalidad y la ausencia de un tratamiento curativo. Es el resultado, no solo de una sobrecarga o daño cardiaco, sino también de una compleja interacción de cambios genéticos, neurohormonales, inflamatorios y bioquímicos que actúan sobre el miocito y/o el intersticio. Como consecuencia de estas alteraciones, el paciente con insuficiencia cardiaca tiene niveles anómalos de diversas moléculas (enzimas, hormonas, citocinas…) que son utilizadas como biomarcadores de gran importancia clínica. En este sentido, el papel de los péptidos natriuréticos en la clíni…
Identificación y caracterización funcional de genes PMT relacionados con la glicosilación de proteínas en el hongo patógeno de frutos cítricos Penici…
2013
En esta tesis se ha caracterizado el mecanismo de acción del péptido antifúngico PAF26 sobre S. cerevisiae como microorganismo modelo. Mediante microscopía confocal, se ha demostrado que PAF26 marcado fluorescentemente interactúa primero con las envueltas celulares, se internaliza en vacuolas y luego se libera al citoplasma coincidiendo con la muerte celular, de forma similar a lo observado en N. crassa. Se ha constatado que los dominios catiónicos e hidrofóbicos de PAF26 se requieren para su actividad, siendo el dominio catiónico necesario para su interacción y el dominio hidrofóbico para su internalización. El péptido se localizó principalmente en las vacuolas de la cepa resistente Δarg1,…
