It is a big pleasure to present the INCLIVA Annual Scientific<br />
Report 2015, which provides an assessment of the scientific<br />
activities carried out during the year 2015 by INCLIVA’s research<br />
groups. As the main novelty, the document presents this year<br />
two new chapters (highlights of the year and INCLIVA’s solidarity)<br />
and a new graphic design that we hope will contribute to show<br />
the information more attractively. INCLIVA Annual Scientific<br />
Report represents a unique opportunity to take stock of the<br />
activities and goals achieved and, therefore, to be able to face<br />
new challenges in the coming years. This year has represented a<br />
truly milestone for several reasons.<br />
First of all, in 2015 INCLIVA launched its new strategic plan which<br />
includes institutional goals and actions to be implemented during<br />
the next five years (2015-2019). Following External Scientific<br />
Committee specific recommendations, the plan organizes<br />
INCLIVA’s research activities around seven research programs –<br />
early cardiovascular risk in obese subjects; myocardial ischemic<br />
injury; biomarkers, rare diseases; translational oncology;<br />
endometrial receptivity and embryo viability; aging and<br />
associated diseases; and neurological impairment– and three<br />
scientific platforms – genetics and epigenetics, metabolomics<br />
and free radicals and inflammation–. These multidisciplinary<br />
disease-oriented initiatives will provide the basis for the<br />
institute’s scientific strategy of upcoming years.<br />
Second, being aware that the processes of innovation and<br />
technology transfer require multidisciplinary collaboration<br />
among professionals from various fields, INCLIVA launched<br />
together with the University of Valencia the VLC-Bioclinic<br />
Program, an initiative whose main goal is to promote<br />
multidisciplinary translational research between researchers<br />
and practitioners from both institutions. The program funded<br />
both innovative collaborative projects and preparatory actions<br />
for cooperative research projects.<br />
Moreover, following the efforts in the area of quality, INCLIVA<br />
was able to maintain its R&D management services and its<br />
Ethical Committee in Clinical Research (ECCR) ISO 9001:2008<br />
certifications and expanded its quality management systems to<br />
INCLIVA’s Biobank, which was eventually certify on September.<br />
In addition, during the year the institute focused its attention to<br />
renew its accreditation as Health Research Institute by the Carlos<br />
III Health Institute since the external audit is expected to be held<br />
during the first quarter of 2016.<br />
Scientific output during the year reached 635 papers, surpassed<br />
the barrier of 2500 impact factor at once for the very first time,<br />
and confirmed the steady tendency in recent years. It is worth<br />
noting that papers published in journals within the first and<br />
second quartiles of their respective categories have represented<br />
53% and 20% of the total production, respectively.<br />
Regarding scientific activities, INCLIVA’s research groups<br />
competitively secured and developed 179 research initiatives<br />
during the year, both internationally (9 projects within the 7 th<br />
Framework Program and 3 non EU projects), as well as nationally<br />
(66 projects under the National R&D&I Plan) and regionally (17<br />
projects funded by the Valencian Government). Additionally, 25<br />
competitive grants from private funding entities were secured.<br />
Furthermore, research groups were active in national research<br />
networks (3 Platforms, 8 CIBER and 7 RETICS). Finally, INCLIVA<br />
was able to secure a Carlos III Health Institute Excellent Integrated<br />
Project, which provided funding to develop an ambitious<br />
personalized medicine project in diagnosis, prediction, and<br />
prevention of cardiac damage in reperfused acute myocardial<br />
infarction.<br />
Regarding clinical research activities, the Ethical Committee<br />
in Clinical Research (ECCR) has processed 120 additional trials.<br />
With the kick off of these studies, a total of 396 clinical trials and<br />
other studies were carried out during the year. In fact, 75% of<br />
these studies were clinical trials, while the remaining 25% were<br />
observational studies. It is worth noting the high relative weight<br />
of early stage clinical research, since the number of Phase I and
1 Introduction<br />
8<br />
Phase II trials currently represent almost 31% of the studies<br />
developed at the Institute.<br />
The present report also shows data reflecting the commitment<br />
of INCLIVA to training and transfer of biomedical research. The<br />
involvement of university research groups has resulted in high<br />
participation in graduate programmes, generating 45 doctoral<br />
theses this year. Regarding innovation and transfer activities it is<br />
noteworthy that INCLIVA joint the Patents Bank, a joint program<br />
of the Valencian Regional Government and public research<br />
organizations to promote meetings between entrepreneurs,<br />
businessmen and innovation knowledge centers, in order<br />
to facilitate technological transfer to business. Moreover,<br />
the institute was awarded by a grant for the first FIPSE call<br />
for feasibility studies of health innovation. Finally, INCLIVA’s<br />
innovation pipeline comprised, in 2015, 2 granted patents, 3<br />
patent international extensions and 2 software records.<br />
Among the activities to promote research culture, during<br />
2015 INCLIVA continued with its Training Plan by collaborating<br />
with the different hospital departments in the organization and<br />
management of 62 training initiatives, including 15 courses, 8<br />
workshops and 9 seminars and 30 conferences. In addition, as<br />
every year the Institute provided grants for research secondments<br />
in centers of excellence, that allowed 17 INCLIVA’s researchers to<br />
acquire new knowledge in clinical and research.<br />
We cannot conclude without expressing our gratitude to all<br />
the professionals who enable INCLIVA to continue advancing.<br />
Thanks to the efforts of our over 500 researchers, 180 of which<br />
are directly hired by the Foundation, INCLIVA is able to maintain<br />
its present privileged position. However, all at INCLIVA face<br />
the challenge of continuing to generate scientific knowledge,<br />
guiding research excellence for the benefit of society and being<br />
an important part of solidarity initiatives.<br />

2.1. History<br />
13<br />
In the year 2000 the Foundation for the Research of the Hospital<br />
Clínico Universitario of Valencia was constituted, being the first<br />
Valencian research foundation attached to a public hospital.<br />
Ten years later, some excellence groups in biomedical research<br />
from the University of Valencia and IUIVI (Valencian Infertility<br />
Institute) joined the Foundation through the establishment of<br />
specific agreements, so the INCLIVA Health Research Institute<br />
was created.<br />
The main aims of INCLIVA are to manage the biomedical<br />
research carried out by the Hospital Clínico Universitario of<br />
Valencia and its Health Department and to encourage teaching<br />
and scientific activities, thus improving patient treatment and<br />
knowledge sharing.<br />
In 2011 INCLIVA was accredited as a Health Research Institute<br />
by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (Ministerio de Ciencia<br />
e Innovación) so it obtained preferential treatment by the Carlos<br />
III Health Institute (Instituto de Salud Carlos III), being recognized<br />
its excellent research.

both institutions, with special emphasis in the execution of<br />
research projects and collective research activities. It allows the<br />
access, stay and use of the Central Unit for Medical Research facilities<br />
to Hospital Clínico Universitario of Valencia research staff.<br />
The Central Unit for Medical Research (UCIM) was created<br />
thanks to FEDER funds in 1990. From its inception, it has been<br />
granted with several infrastructure coming from both University<br />
of Valencia and INCLIVA funds, as well as from external funds<br />
(Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología, Generalitat<br />
Valenciana and Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias).<br />
In addition to these support units, INCLIVA has three additional<br />
platforms: the Biobank, the Cytogenetics lab and the Bioinformatics<br />
Unit. The latter was created as such in 2013, through a Carlos<br />
III Health Institute (Instituto de Salud Carlos III) grant program to<br />
improve infrastructure, the so called PROMIIS grant.<br />
These laboratories count on several research technicians and<br />
technical assistants who have been included in the organization<br />
structure thanks to diverse public grants or directly to the<br />
University’s budget.<br />
The research support platforms are:<br />
• Cell culture unit<br />
• Flow cytometric unit<br />
• Multigenic analysis unit<br />
• Confocal microscopy unit<br />
• Sequenom platform<br />
• Laboratory of molecular imaging and metabolomics<br />
• Animal housing and experimental operating theaters unit<br />

3.3 Cooperative research networks<br />
The Carlos III Health Institute (Instituto de Salud Carlos III) develops – through the General Subdirection of Networks and Centers<br />
for the Cooperative Research – the creation of stable research network structures such as RETICS (Thematic Networks of Cooperative<br />
Research) and CIBER (Network of Centres for Biomedical Research). INCLIVA participates in many of these research structures through<br />
its associated groups.<br />

3.4.2 Knowledge transfer to industry<br />
One of the foundational missions of INCLIVA is the translation<br />
of the research carried out to the society. Giving a medical need,<br />
researchers and clinicians use their knowledge to make ideas<br />
that can be taken in products or processes that overcome this<br />
existing problem through research and development.<br />
INCLIVA Innovation Unit gives support in this process, detecting<br />
ideas, assessing them and paving the way for their transformation<br />
in products or services that can be transferred to the society.<br />
This track is known as the innovation funnel since it starts with<br />
a broad range of ideas and gradually refines and selects from<br />
among them, creating a handful of formal development projects<br />
that can be pushed to completion and transfer.<br />

The knowledge protection is the first step to move scientific<br />
findings and ideas from researchers to the industry and the most<br />
common way to protect technologies that are new, inventive and<br />
have industrial application are patents. Research institutions can<br />
exploit the patents they hold by licensing them to companies.<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• Study of autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemias and<br />
familial combined hyperlipidemia. An analysis of inflammation<br />
markers has been performed, as well as a comprehensive<br />
biochemical profile and a collection of clinical and<br />
genetic characteristics<br />
• Effect of postprandial lipidemia on cardiovascular system,<br />
mainly on lipid profile, inflammation markers and oxidative<br />
stress and the response of circulanting cells to stress<br />
caused by lipidemia. Studies of oral lipid overload in obese<br />
diabetic patients have been carried out to study cell response<br />
to fatty acid delivery. Expression of all genes present<br />
in the lymphomonocytes of these patients has been examined<br />
comparing with control subjects and the results are<br />
currently being analyzed<br />
• Study of insulin resistance and diabetes. The aim is to early<br />
detect insulin-resistance, identifying early detection markers<br />
and risk and inflammatory factors linked to this condition<br />
• Diagnosis and treatment of diabetic foot. Confirmation of<br />
the connection between plasma homocysteine levels and<br />
risk for diabetic foot ulceration<br />
• Genetic factors involved in the regulation of Body Mass Index<br />
(BMI), waist circumference, obesity development and<br />
central obesity. Study of oxidative stress and other aspects<br />
of metabolism as factors able to modulate development of<br />
obesity. Levels of certain free radicals and oxidative stress<br />
regulate metabolism and energy homeostasis<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Genetic diagnosis of primary hyperlipidemias and cardiovascular<br />
risk<br />
• Combination of primary hyperlipidemias with insulin resistance<br />
and diabetes mellitus<br />
• Postprandial lipidemia and atherosclerosis in states of insulin<br />
resistance<br />
• Insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidative stress<br />
• Diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diabetic foot<br />
• Genetic factors involved in the regulation of Body Mass<br />
Index and abdominal obesity<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Sergio Martínez Hervás<br />
The line of research is based on<br />
cardiovascular risk, essentially on<br />
insulin resistance and diabetes,<br />
familial combined hyperlipidemia,<br />
inflammation, vitamin D, and atherosclerosis,<br />
just like new markers of<br />
cardiovascular risk.<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Ana Bárbara García García<br />
The research is mainly focused<br />
on DM2, one of the most frequent<br />
diseases of Western societies. On<br />
this subject, the work has several<br />
lines: an SREBF2 variant and its<br />
possible association with DM2,<br />
gene expression alterations in postprandial lipemia after an oral<br />
fat challenge in obese and diabetic populations, and identification<br />
of markers of β-cell destruction using circulating DNA.<br />
On the other hand, other line of research is the identification<br />
of new genes responsible for abetalipoproteinemia using exome<br />
sequencing.<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• Publication of the results obtained by modifying the electrophysiological<br />
effects of myocardial stretching by EIPA, losartan,<br />
BQ-123, and ranolazine<br />
• Continuation of the experimental series to analyze the<br />
effects of JTV519, KN-93, Carvedilol and analogues<br />
• Continuation of the analysis of the effects of modifications<br />
of the basic electrophysiological properties on the processes<br />
involved in the initiation, perpetuation and the cessation of<br />
ventricular fibrillation<br />
• It has continued the analysis of the electrophysiological<br />
effects of chronic physical exercise and its protective effect<br />
against arrhythmias, the influence of the cardiac nervous<br />
system and mitochondrial oxidative stress and the involvement<br />
of the IKATP current<br />
• Development of instruments for recording, processing and<br />
analysis of cardiac electrophysiological signals obtained with<br />
mapping systems<br />
• Home of the research aimed to study the mechanisms involved<br />
in the deterioration of the systolic function, fibrosis and<br />
the inducibility of arrhythmias in a chronic model of infarction<br />
in rabbit hearts<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Myocardial stress: analysis of electrophysiological changes<br />
induced by mechanical stretching. Autocrine/paracrine infuences<br />
and study of protective actions by means of drugs<br />
• Clinical and basic research on heart failure: role of calcium<br />
homeostasis in arrhythmogenesis. Study on the effects of<br />
drugs acting on intracellular Ca 2+ dynamics<br />
• Analysis of the effects of modifications in basic electrophysiological<br />
properties on the processes involved in beginning,<br />
perpetuation and cessation of ventricular fibrillation<br />
• Study of electrophysiological effects of chronic physical activity<br />
by: a) analysis of the protection against arrhythmias or<br />
scientific activity facilitation of its reversion; b) study of the<br />
influence of heart’s nervous system and mitochondrial oxidative<br />
stress; and c) analysis of the effects on the electrical<br />
instability induced by myocardial ischemia and the implication<br />
of IKATP current<br />
• Development and extension of tools for the registration,<br />
processing and analysis of cardiac electrophysical signals based<br />
on multielectrodes and optical cartography systems able<br />
to analyze voltage and calcium signals<br />
• Study the mechanisms involved in the deterioration of the<br />
systolic function, fibrosis and the inducibility of arrhythmias<br />
in a chronic model of infarction in rabbit hearts<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• The advance of the FIS PI13/00617 research project has<br />
solved the difficulty on the array analysis of miRNA profile<br />
in endothelial cells and the main results were checked.<br />
The recruitment of patients is ongoing and the follow up<br />
was enlarged up to one year<br />
• To complete the effects induced by oxidized low density<br />
lipoprotein on endothelial transcriptomic profile and to<br />
publish<br />
• To complete and to publish the first part of the Procell study<br />
in collaboration with 8 different groups of the Red de<br />
Investigación Cardiovascular on the time-course of mobilization<br />
of endothelial progenitor cells in acute cardiovascular<br />
events (acute myocardial infarction and stroke)<br />
• In the murine model of senescence, we have demonstrated<br />
a decreased availability of nitric oxide in aorta from<br />
ovariectomized senescence mice involving cyclooxygenases<br />
(manuscript is in press)<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Gender difference in cardiovascular area<br />
• Vascular effects of sex hormones<br />
• Identification of new hormone-regulated signalling<br />
pathways in endothelium<br />
• Interaction of sex hormones with pro-atherogenic factors<br />
• Determination of circulating endothelial progenitor cells<br />
and their link with hormone treatment<br />
• miRNA profile in vascular cells under estrogen exposure<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Susana Novella del Campo<br />
The research is focused in the study of<br />
endothelial dysfunction associated with<br />
aging and lack of estrogen. During aging<br />
are produced mechanical and functional<br />
alterations in the arterial wall wich leads to the occurrence<br />
of cardiovascular diseases. These alterations are conditioned<br />
by gender differences. Our main goal is to determine the<br />
mechanisms by which the main endothelial mediators, nitric<br />
oxide and prostanoids are affected during aging. We also studied<br />
the regulatory role of miRNAs associated with acute coronary<br />
syndrome and the estrogen-dependent vascular function and<br />
aging.<br />

Our research team has focused<br />
in the development of new clinical<br />
tools for improving diagnosis, risk<br />
stratification and treatment of patients<br />
with ischemic heart disease<br />
and heart failure.<br />
Along this line, we are conducting several clinical studies, many<br />
of them investigator-initiated clinical trials, aimed to evaluate: a)<br />
new therapies/strategies to improve prognosis, and, b) new biomarkers/devices<br />
useful for monitoring and guiding therapy after<br />
an episode of acute coronary and acute heart failure episode.<br />
More specifically, we are focused on the potential utility of<br />
peritoneal dialysis for patients with refractory congestive heart<br />
failure, the development of new algorithms for monitoring patients,<br />
the efficacy of physical therapies in heart failure, the development<br />
of a multimarker and dynamic approach for risk stratification.<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• To work in UNIT PEDITEC which co-localizes in the daily<br />
work of health personnel with engineers who develop<br />
software for capturing signals via mobile devices. The study<br />
of physiological parameters that allow the therapeutic<br />
individualization has been a priority during 2015 and<br />
meant an advance in clinical practice in obese pediatric<br />
patients in the unit<br />
• To expand PAIDO personalized health care program that<br />
with the development of actions involving family, educators,<br />
nutritionist, physical education teachers and other<br />
social actors. The intervention on the pathology transcends<br />
the hospital space and involves also the environment<br />
and the individual sphere of children.<br />
• To develop a prospective study in more than 200 children.<br />
The study collects information and material cord<br />
with epigenetic studies and metabolomics, and monitoring<br />
clinical parameters and cardiometabolic phenotype<br />
• To coordinate a new document of the European Guidelines<br />
on Hypertension in Children and Adolescents<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• New technologies applied to the detection of congenital<br />
heart diseases and sepsis in asymptomatic newborn babies<br />
• Childhood obesity<br />
• New technologies applied to the treatment of obesity<br />
• Impact of intrauterine life in the development of cardiometabolic<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• To start-up the laboratory for the analysis of podocytes<br />
(identification, cultivation and phenotyping) and its derivatives:<br />
micro-RNA, exosomes<br />
• The integration of metabolomics and genomics in the<br />
study of factors related to the development of kidney<br />
damage<br />
• Development of studies for noninvasive hemodynamic<br />
characterization in vascular pathology<br />
• Analysis of morbidity and mortality linked to the presence<br />
of hypertension and renal injury<br />
• Development of in vitro studies of platelet and leukocyte<br />
adhesion in venous thromboembolism<br />
• Genetic studies related to obesity and overweight and venous<br />
thromboembolism<br />
• Development of phase III and IV clinical trials<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Fernando Martínez García<br />
During the last year we have focused<br />
our research activity in those<br />
mechanisms, which are involved in<br />
the development of microalbuminuria<br />
and kidney damage in hypertensive<br />
patients. In this sense we<br />
have been studying the role of the<br />
podocytes in the regulation of urine albumin excretion not only<br />
in hypertension but also in obesity and diabetes.<br />
We are also studying the role of new image techniques for the<br />
early diagnosis of atherosclerosis and the potential value of markers<br />
of vascular stiffness for risk prediction. Jointly with other research<br />
groups we are also performing some collaborative studies<br />
in metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Finally we are also<br />
taking advantage of the new Electronic Health Recordings system<br />
to analyse cardiovascular risk factors and events in real world.<br />
All of our research is aimed to improve the prevention and the<br />
consequences of cardiovascular disease, especially those related<br />
with essential hypertension.<br />
69<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Mechanisms of development of renal damage associated<br />
with hypertension with special emphasis on the podocyte<br />
damage<br />
• Impact of cardiovascular risk factors and renal function in<br />
absolute morbidity and mortality in high-risk population<br />
and in the general population<br />
• Inflammation and oxidative stress in the development of<br />
cardiovascular disease<br />
• Genomics, proteomics and metabolomics of early cardiometabolic<br />
and renal disorders<br />
• Impact of environmental toxins (metals) in cardiometabolic<br />
risk<br />
• Identification of polymorphisms and related to the control<br />
of BMI and waist circumference and the risk of obesity<br />
genes<br />
• Venous thrombosis in young patients: factors associated<br />
with its development<br />
• The relationship between risk of venous thromboembolic<br />
disease and arteriosclerosis<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
María Téllez Plaza<br />
Dr. Téllez-Plaza’s research interest<br />
is in the health consequences of widespread<br />
exposure to environmental<br />
toxicants. In recent years, her<br />
research has built expertise in population-based<br />
studies of the chronic<br />
cardiovascular effects of cadmium,<br />
arsenic and other toxic metals. Her<br />
current focus is on the use of DNA-methylation alterations as a<br />
tool for studying gene-environment interaction. The epigenetic<br />
epidemiology field is moving towards high-throughput platforms<br />
that allow genome-wide arrays and next-generation sequencing,<br />
and an important area of work involves the development of data<br />
analysis methods that can be applied to genome-wide DNAmethylation<br />
data in population-based studies. The simultaneous<br />
assessment of environmental exposures, genetic and epigenetic<br />
profiles and cardiovascular end-points can have important clinical<br />
and public health implications for cardiovascular disease prevention<br />
and control, while also developing novel research areas.

• AWARDS<br />
On 2015, Vicente Bodí was awarded by the Cardiac Imaging<br />
Section of the Valencian Society of Cardiology for his work<br />
“Predicción de eventos cardíacos mayores a largo plazo<br />
mediante resonancia magnética cardíaca tras un infarto agudo<br />
de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST”. Moreover,<br />
he was also awarded by the Real Academia de Medicina de<br />
la Comunidad Valenciana for the scientific work “Proof-ofconcept<br />
methodology for studying the effect of ischemicreperfusion<br />
injury on microvascular obstruction in myocardial<br />
samples of an in vivo model of myocardial infarction”.<br />
81<br />
Fig 1: The group led by Dr. Bodí has developed a model of<br />
acute myocardial infarction in which a transient occlusion<br />
of the left anterior descending artery is induced. With<br />
these samples, you can simulate events that occur in<br />
the pathophysiology of myocardial regeneration after<br />
myocardial<br />
Fig 2: In samples obtained in patients with acute<br />
myocardial infarction and in an in vivo myocardial<br />
infarction model, you can study the inflammatory process<br />
and the degree of fibrosis at different levels: macroscopic,<br />
microscopic, cell, gene expression and protein and through<br />

My scientific interests are based<br />
both on the study of the genetic<br />
susceptibility to complex diseases<br />
as well as on the study of genomics<br />
deregulation in solid tumours.<br />
In relation to genetic susceptibility, we have unraveled new<br />
variants associated to sporadic melanoma susceptibility. The<br />
group has contributed to the study of variants in pathways<br />
related to pigmentation, DNA repair after UV irradiation and<br />
oxidative stress. Some of the more relevant results are the study<br />
of the genetic variation of MC1R (melanocortin receptor 1, the<br />
most important gene predisposing to susceptibility to sporadic<br />
melanoma) and the identification of new genes associated to<br />
this disease, the most important has been SLC45A2.<br />
During 2015 we have investigated the role of genetic variation<br />
in TERT related genes and their association to telomerase<br />
length and to melanoma. We have several ongoing studies in<br />
collaboration with international groups and the consortium<br />
M-SKIP.<br />
As for the genomic deregulation in solid tumours, I am<br />
interested in the identification and characterization of the<br />
genetic distinctiveness of breast cancer in very young women<br />
(35 years or younger). In order to do so, we carried out several<br />
studies with microRNA expression, methylation, IHQ staining and<br />
bioinformatics analysis to validate our data. The main objective is<br />
to find out whether new markers could be more suitable to treat<br />
these patients and would improve their response to therapy.<br />
In collaboration with Dr. Cervantes we have set up the<br />
mutational screening of solid tumours in 25 oncogenes (287<br />
hotspots) with the Mass Array-Sequenom platform at the<br />
Faculty of Medicine. Up to now we have screened more than<br />
150 tumours from several oncologic pathologies: colorectal,<br />
breast, ovarian, gastric, melanoma, etc.<br />
Strategic aims<br />
• To implement strategies in order to facilitate precision<br />
medicine development in solid tumours with innovative<br />
therapeutic approaches<br />
• To provide knowledge on how to approach precision medicine<br />
in colorectal and gastric cancer: molecular classification,<br />
predictive biomarkers and innovative therapeutic<br />
approaches<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• To develop first-in-human Phase I trials of antineoplastic<br />
agents with innovative designs<br />
• To develop liquid biopsies (ctDNA, cmicroRNAs) for early<br />
diagnosis, monitoring and the prediction of therapeutic<br />
effects in patients with gastro-intestinal malignancies<br />
• To study the role of acetylated nuclear ribonucleoproteins<br />
in predicting resistance to anti-EFGR antibodies<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• Identification of methylated areas in DNA (triple negative<br />
breast cancer pts) that differentiate responders and nonresponders<br />
to treatment<br />
• Pattern of miRNAs and mRNAs: modification of expression<br />
by chemotherapy<br />
• Evaluation of the role of miR-26a and miR-30b in the development<br />
of resistance in HER2+ breast cancer<br />
• Assessment of the PI3K/Akt pathway in resistance to<br />
anti-HER2 + therapies<br />
• Determination of the association PP2A inhibition and<br />
poor outcome and doxorubicin resistance in early breast<br />
cancer<br />
• Validation of a differential microRNA expression of breast<br />
cancer in very young women using METABRIC and TCGA<br />
public databases in addition to our own data. We have<br />
also characterized cell lines from young women and identified<br />
two as good models for functional studies.<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Study of methylation as a prognostic and predictive factor<br />
of treatment response in triple negative breast cancer<br />
• Evaluation of microRNAs and mRNAs differentially expressed<br />
after chemotherapy treatment<br />
• Involvement of miRNAs in cancer processes in breast<br />
cancer<br />
• Role of tumor heterogeneity and dynamic reprogramming<br />
of tumor cell resistance to anti-HER2<br />
• Evaluation of the involvement of stem cells and epithelial<br />
mesenchymal transition in the mechanisms of resistance<br />
to treatment in HER2 + breast cancer<br />
• Primary and secondary resistance in HER2 + breast cancer:<br />
search for new treatments<br />
• Interaction between estrogen receptors, tumor angiogenesis<br />
and breast cancer metabolism<br />
• Molecular and clinical characterization of breast tumours<br />
from very young women<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Isabel Chirivella González<br />
The research line suggests a possible<br />
relation between mammographic<br />
density as a genetic susceptibility<br />
marker and the risk to suffer breast<br />
cancer in women with a mutation in<br />
BRCA (hereditary breast cancer). Women<br />
with a mutation in genes BRCA1 or BRCA2 have a higher risk<br />
of developing breast cancer (40-70%) and the risk could possibly<br />
be modified by genetic variations related to mammographic<br />
density.<br />
We also have a project to evaluate a set of endometrial cancer<br />
risk markers in Lynch syndrome patients. The study will prospectively<br />
analyze these markers and the progression to endometrial<br />
cancer in a series of endometrial biopsies taken from a prominent<br />
cohort of Lynch syndrome carriers during the follow-up<br />
period. The ultimate goal of this research is to achieve the minimum<br />
required clinical evidence to use these markers to improve<br />
the medical decision process towards a customized recommendation<br />
on the management options (surveillance vs. prophylactic<br />
hysterectomy) in these patients.<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Pilar Eroles Asensio<br />
The lines of research aim at deepening<br />
the knowledge of some of the<br />
molecular subtypes of breast cancer,<br />
especially HER2+ and triple negative,<br />
through studies of expression<br />
and epigenetic changes (microRNAs,<br />
methylation) to decipher the possible mechanisms of resistance<br />
to current treatments. We intend to develop new strategies for<br />
diagnostic and therapeutic intervention to reverse the identified<br />
resistance, based on combinations with other biologic agents<br />
and the use of predictive biomarkers of resistance.<br />

responses to targeted drug treatment.<br />
These algorithms are based on mathematical methods of<br />
network analysis for determining not whether single specific<br />
genes are deregulated in tumours, but for identifying the<br />
combinations of the many possible gene expression changes<br />
that are most commonly associated with a particular outcome.<br />
Outcomes can be either patient or cell line responses to a<br />
particular treatment, levels of expression or polymorphic<br />
variants from specific genes.<br />
Advances in technology have allowed us to construct a global<br />
view of tissue architecture, filtered through the lens of genetic<br />
control of gene expression and now could be used to generate<br />
copy-number profiles based on breast cancer patients response<br />
to chemotherapy treatments. Novel network analysis tools can<br />
be used to identify critical signaling hubs that may reflect underlying<br />
susceptibility of different individuals to cancer development,<br />
progression or therapeutic responses. The same signaling<br />
hubs may also be targets for chemoprevention or therapeutic<br />
intervention, in addition to informing basic questions in cancer<br />
biology.<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• PhD thesis on spontaneous regression of melanocytic<br />
neoplasms. Main results: 1) demonstration that an increase<br />
in telomere length variation (TLV) correlates with spontaneous<br />
regression in cutaneous melanomas. 2) A prediction<br />
equation including lamellar fibrosis, melanophage,<br />
blood vessel and granzyme B+ lymphocyte density, as well<br />
as the age of the patient can correctly identify malignancy<br />
in 87% of melanocytic lesions with partial regression.<br />
Completion of 4 additional PhD theses at the end of 2015<br />
• Modification of endogenous levels of miRNA-205 in melanoma<br />
cell lines A375 and SKMEL147 by lentiviral vectors.<br />
Transcriptomic study of the differential gene expression<br />
between cells with low and high miRNA-205 expresion,<br />
and experimental xenograft study in immunodeficient<br />
mice of both types of cells<br />
• First demonstration that CD34 nuclear immunoexpression,<br />
as well as CD133, SPARC and ABCG2 expression in<br />
melanoma correlates with the development of distant<br />
metastases (paper under review)<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Expression of epithelial–mesenchymal transition markers<br />

• VEGF/VEGF-R increases migration of B-CLL cells through<br />
an increased in expressión and functional activation of<br />
CXCR-4/CCR7 pathway. Increment in expression and migration<br />
correlates with adverse clinical features such as<br />
CD38/ZAP-70 expression, advanced Binet/RAi stage<br />
• The 936T allele at SNP rs3025039 of the VEGF gene is<br />
associated with a lower risk of B-CLL while variant genotype<br />
T/- SNP rs1449683 in the bFGF gene contributes to<br />
disease initiation and progression, showing a reduction<br />
in survival<br />
• Haplotype CGAC +/+ of the SNPs rs3025039, rs1109324,<br />
rs1547651 y rs833052 VEGF gene, associates with a lowe<br />
survival of CLL patients compared with the rest. This is<br />
especially relevant in the CD38/ZAP-70 positive Group<br />
• Both therapeutic approaches based on VMP and Rd, in<br />
an alternating or sequential schedules are associated<br />
with high efficacy and acceptable toxicity profile with no<br />
differences between them<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Analysis of the interactions of CLL cells with their cellular<br />
microenvironment: further study of the intracellular mechanisms<br />
triggered by VEGF. Analysis of the possible correlation<br />
with CXCR4/CCR7 cytokinespathway. Transactivation<br />
mechanisms of the aforementioned receptors<br />
• Development of new ex-vivo co-culture models of the<br />
cells of CLL with bone marrow stroma and dendritic cells<br />
for the efficacy analysis of new kinase inhibitor drugs.<br />
Drug resistance effect mediated by microcellular environment<br />
• Identification and analysis of VEGF polymorphisms in CLL<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• We have finished and published the analysis of the changes<br />
in structure and epigenetic regulation of the murine<br />
Egr1 gene during the induction-repression cycle at a mononucleosomal<br />
resolution<br />
• The influence of liver transfection with Gas1 gene in mice<br />
bearing hepatocellular carcinoma has been published.<br />
The results show a significant decrease in the size of tumours<br />
and metastasis and a reversal of the expression of<br />
genes which are altered in tumours<br />
• We have gone on analysing the consequences of KRAS<br />
G13D mutation in gene splicing and expression in colorectal<br />
cancer cells, to find that ZNF518B and EPDR1 genes<br />
show a clear differential behavior. The results were<br />
incorporated in a Ph. D. Thesis, as it was the influence<br />
of that mutation in the alternative splicing of the KRAS<br />
gene itself<br />
• A collaboration of Prof. López Rodas with other groups<br />
working on epigenetics of multiple sclerosis has also given<br />
rise to several papers published<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Involvement of chromatin in the regulation of Egr1. Study<br />
of chromatin changes associated with Egr1 expression<br />
during phorbol esters-induced proliferation in a cell line<br />
and in vivo mouse liver after partial hepatectomy<br />
• Gas1 overexpression effects in reducing the size of liver<br />
tumours. Study of the effects of overexpression of Gas1<br />
in mice bearing HCC in reducing the size of tumours and<br />
their metastatic potential and normalization of the expression<br />
levels of genes involved in cell proliferation<br />
• Analysis of differential expression and splicing of genes<br />
in relation with KRAS mutational activation in colorectal<br />
cancer (CRC). The study is specially centred in ZNF518B<br />
and EPDR1 genes and it covers as well the consequences<br />
of knocking down these genes on the malignant properties<br />
of CRC cells. We are also studying the differential isoform<br />
expression of these genes in CRC patients<br />
• Regulation of the ZNF518B expression at a chromatin level<br />
• Study of the alternative splicing of KRAS in CRC cells at<br />
a chromatin level. The research covers the nucleosomal<br />
organization and epigenetic modifications in the regions<br />
involved in alternative splicing<br />

Fig. 1. Model of the structural changes and histone modifications<br />
during the activation and repression of the Egr1 gene. The<br />
position of nucleosomes -2, -1, and +1 is given at four different<br />
times after TPA addition. The partial eviction of nucleosomes<br />
is symbolized by increasing the transparency of the ovals. The<br />
location of transcription factors serum-response factor, ELK1,<br />
SP1, and CREB and the phosphorylation of the latter is based on<br />
previous results (78). The tentative positions of the BRM-containing<br />
remodeler and the preinitiation complex (PIC) are also<br />
shown. The transcriptional rate is symbolized by placing more<br />
or less arrows over the RNA pol II molecule. The relative level of<br />
histone modifications is given according to the color code depicted<br />
at the top.<br />

Research on genetics of human postmenopausal osteoporosis through a translational approach from animal models. To do this,<br />
initially its identified genes differentially expressed in B lymphocyte of mouse bone marrow ovariectomized (OVX, red) and compared to<br />
control animals (SHAM, blue). A) Analysis of Principal Component (PCA mapping) of microarray both types of mice and B) Hierarchical<br />
Clustering of differentially expressed genes. C) Analysis of functional pathways KEGG overrepresented in OVX B lymphocytes has<br />
shown that osteoclast differentiation pathway is one of the most affected (19 genes, p = 3.5x10-8). Later it was studied the genetic<br />
association to bone phenotypes of SNPs selected candidate genes after genotyping in human cohort studies. Microarray experiments<br />
were performed in the facilities of INCLIVA.

Strategic aims<br />
• To determine the implication of the stress of endoplasmic<br />
reticulum (RE), mitochondrial and endothelial dysfunction<br />
in the underlying mechanisms associated with<br />
insulin resistance in diseases such as type 2 diabetes,<br />
obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome, and its relationship<br />
with the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition,<br />
we evaluated possible therapeutic targets that could<br />
help to understand the mechanism and source of stress<br />
of RE in different cell models<br />
• To develop various projects that focus on the efficacy<br />
of functional foods with properties of health, for the<br />
reduction of risks of chronic diseases<br />

Molecular Physiopathology of<br />
the diabetes and atherosclerosis.<br />
Our research is focused in the<br />
study of the molecular mechanisms<br />
of the diabetes mellitus<br />
(DM) and its effect on atherosclerosis<br />
development which is one<br />
of the main causes of cardiovascular diseases. To this end, we<br />
perform studies in genetically-modified mice that develop metabolic<br />
alterations such as diabetes, insulin resistance, fatty liver<br />
disease and atherosclerosis. To translate our findings into the human<br />
pathology we also perform investigations in human subjects<br />
and in human cell cultures.<br />
Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that insulin resistance<br />
aggravates atherosclerosis by promoting the death of<br />
vascular smooth muscle cells present in the atheroma plaques<br />
which favours plaque rupture and acute events such as myocardial<br />
infarction. We have also identified some of the inflammatory<br />
mediators that participate in these processes in the mouse models<br />
and in human patients.<br />
In another line of research we are studying the role of the CDK-<br />
N2A and 2B genes, contained in the Ink4/Arf locus, in the development<br />
of diabetes. We have found that increased expression<br />
of these genes, in mice with impaired IRS2-mediated signalling,<br />
protects the mice from developing glucose intolerance, insulin<br />
resistance and fatty liver disease. Currently, we are studying<br />
whether these genes are relevant for the human pathology by<br />
analysing the expression and functionality of these genes in human<br />
samples.<br />

Abdominal aortic aneurysm<br />
(AAA) is a degenerative disease<br />
of the aorta that mainly affects<br />
elderly population over the age<br />
of 65. Given the high mortality<br />
rate associated with AAA, it is important<br />
to find new pharmacological<br />
approaches to prevent its progression. Our work focuses on<br />
the study of molecular mechanism associated to AAA develop-
Scientific activity<br />
4<br />
ment and to investigate new pharmacological approaches to halt<br />
its progression.<br />
In recent years, angiogenesis and inflammation in aortic aneurysmal<br />
disease has been related with the risk of rupture and<br />
complications. In this regard, emerging evidence indicates that<br />
a single drug may not be sufficient to combat the wide array of<br />
proangiogenic and proinflammatory factors produced during<br />
AAA. Thus, we are currently testing potential alternative approach<br />
with the use of combinations of already available clinical<br />
drugs that exhibit anti-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory activity<br />
and whose long-term safety has been proven.<br />
To carry out our research we are using a model of AAA induced<br />
by angiotensin-II- in apolipoprotein E deficient mice. This<br />
experimental model shares many characteristic features of the<br />
human disease, including chemokine and protease generation,<br />
leukocyte infiltration and neovascularization. Currently, we are<br />
also exploring the effect of several nuclear receptors; retinoid<br />
X receptor (RXR), peroxisome proliferator activating receptors<br />
(PPAR) and Vitamin D receptor (VDR) ligands on the AAA development.<br />
We are also interested in characterizing new molecular<br />
mechanism associated to aneurysm formation in animal models<br />
and human samples.<br />

• To describe the presence of oxidative stress and lack of<br />
antioxidant defense in Lafora disease<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Epigenetic regulation of cell proliferation by nuclear glutathione<br />
• Identifying of new post-translational modifications in<br />
histones related to cell redox environment. Deleterious<br />
effects and action as a biomarker in human pathology<br />

Emerging researcher<br />
José Luis García Giménez<br />
We are interested in understanding<br />
the role of epigenetics in the physiopathology<br />
of rare diseases (e.g. Friedreich<br />
ataxia, dyskeratosis congenita<br />
and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis).<br />
Our goal is to identify epigenetic<br />
marks and mechanisms underlying the natural history of disease.<br />
Therefore, one of our challenge is the identification of epigenetic<br />
biomarkers based on DNA methylation, histone variants and posttranslational<br />
modifications and non-coding RNAs (e.g., microR-<br />
NAs) which provide us of new tools for diagnostic and prognostic<br />
of disease. Furthermore, we are investigating the redox-related<br />
mechanisms controling the sophisticated epigenetic regulation. In<br />
this regard, we are interested on the impact of several novel histone<br />
redox-related PTMs on cell physiology and gene regulation.<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Francisco Dasí Hernández<br />
Research is mainly devoted to the<br />
study alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency<br />
(AATD). Research in other pulmonary<br />
rare diseases such as primary<br />
ciliary dyskinesia is currently under<br />
development.<br />
The scientific interests of the group are:<br />
•To characterize the molecular mechanisms (especially those<br />
aspects related to the REDOX signalling) involved in the development<br />
of liver and/or lung disease in patients with AATD, in order<br />
to understand why some patients develop serious liver and/or<br />
lung disease, while other patients bearing the same of alpha-1<br />
antitrypsin (AAT) phenotype, are perfectly healthy.<br />
•To assess cell-free circulating nucleic acids for the diagnosis<br />
and prognosis of AATD.<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• To identify predictive factors for the failure of non-invasive<br />
ventilation in patients with amyotrophic lateral<br />
sclerosis who are suffering from a respiratory infection<br />
• To identify predictive factors for the tolerance of volume-cycled<br />
non-invasive ventilation in subjects with amyotrophic<br />
lateral sclerosis<br />
• To identify, in clinically stable patients with amyotrophic<br />
lateral sclerosis, predictors for the need for noninvasive<br />
mechanical ventilation during an acute respiratory<br />
infection<br />
• We have found that a considerable percentage of ALS<br />
patients suffer from frontal impairment, especially with<br />
regard to executive function, and that FrSBe is a tool<br />
which enables the identification of these behavioural<br />
changes<br />
• To identify the biological, psychological and social factors<br />
which impact upon the perception of dyspnoea<br />
and we have established a interdisciplinary action plan<br />
which can alleviate this symptom<br />
• We are aware of the variables at play in the generation<br />
of complicated grief in relatives of patients suffering<br />
from respiratory diseases and we have established an<br />
action plan which can facilitate the adaptation process<br />
for these people<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• To improve knowledge in the staging of patients with<br />
neuromuscular diseases to anticipate decisions and to<br />
adjust respiratory therapeutic measures<br />
• To improve knowledge in technical assistance and replacement<br />
of the respiratory muscles in neuromuscular<br />
diseases, particularly to the life-prolonging without<br />
adding suffering<br />
• To improve knowledge in the management of the<br />
psycho-emotional needs in neuromuscular patients with<br />
COPD and incapacitating dyspnea and their caregivers<br />
• To improve knowledge about the role of genetic polymorphisms<br />
in the predisposition, severity and susceptibility<br />
to bacteremia in community-acquired pneumonia<br />
• To evaluate the efficiency of the management of dyspnea<br />
• To assess cognitive / behavioral signs associated with<br />
neuromuscular dementia patients and their involvement<br />
in the decision-making process<br />
• To evaluate the prevalence of stressful life events, different<br />
styles of attachment and the proportion of adaptive<br />
and problem duels present in relatives of patients at the<br />
end of life<br />

• Calpains, activated in the mammary gland during involution,<br />
cleave several proteins located in cell membrane,<br />
lysosomes, mitochondria and nuclei favoring cell<br />
death. Calpains can be implicated in cell anchoring loss.<br />
The isoform-specific function of CAPN1 and -2 was explored<br />
in two models of cell-adhesion disruption: mice<br />
mammary gland during involution and breast cancer cell<br />
lines. Both CAPNs were able to cleave adhesion proteins<br />
from lactating mammary gland in vitro. CAPN2/Ecadherin<br />
in vivo interaction was dramatically increased<br />
during involution. Calpain inhibitor administration prevented<br />
the cytosolic accumulation of truncated E-cadherin<br />
cleaved by CAPN2. In breast cancer cells, CAPN2<br />
was restricted to the nuclear compartment, CAPN1 and<br />
CAPN2 knock-down cells showed that cleavage of adhesion<br />
proteins and cell migration was mediated by CAPN1<br />
independently of the breast-cancer subtype.<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• The mammary gland as a physiological model for the<br />
study of programmed cell death<br />
• Mammalian tissues metabolism and its regulation<br />
• Epigenomic and protein acetylation studies in K-ras mutated.<br />
Colon cancer cell lines<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Rosa Zaragozá Colom<br />
Research has been focused on the<br />
pathways that regulate mammary<br />
gland involution after the pregnancy/lactation<br />
cycle and how these<br />
pathways become deregulated in<br />
breast cancer. Recently, our group has<br />
demonstrated a dual role for calpains<br />
in mammary tissue controlling programmed cell death and adipocyte<br />
redifferentiation. Moreover, these calcium-dependent<br />
proteases seem to play also a role in cell migration in breast tumours.<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• To identify a multicomponent exercise intervention to reverse<br />
frailty (JAMDA, 2016). One of our major aims is to<br />
prove that exercise can be considered as a drug (we published<br />
in the Journal of Pharmacology, 2012) and more<br />
recently considered as a supplement to reach healthy<br />
ageing and retard frailty. (J Physiol., 2016)<br />
• Concerning Alzheimer’s disease, during 2015 we identified<br />
that PTEN is a major protein in controlling synapsis<br />
and cognitive function in Alzheimer’s (Nature Neuroscience,<br />
2016). We also identified, using redox proteomics, an<br />
oxidative signature in cerebrospinal fluid to mark changes<br />
from cognitive impairment to dementia in Alzheimer’s<br />
(Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2016). Moreover, we<br />
performed extensive studies that led us to determine that<br />
genistein is a treatment for experimental Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
(Journal of Alzheimer’s disease, 2016)<br />
• We have been part of the Frailomics initiative (funded by<br />
the EU) and to identify biomarkers that predict the risk of<br />
frailty in older individuals (Gerontology, 2016)<br />
• We have kept our work on centenarians and have recently<br />
identified that single nucleotide polymorphism, which is<br />
associated with exceptional longevity and it was published<br />
in the Revista de Geriatria y Gerontologia, 2015<br />
Main lines of research<br />

Research is focused on stem cells<br />
and oxygen concentration in regenerative<br />
medicine. We are studying<br />
the role of oxygen concentration<br />
when culturing stem cells. High rates<br />
of stem cell proliferation are an important tool in regenerative<br />
medicine. Ambient oxygen tensions (21% O 2<br />
) are normally used<br />
for in vitro culture, but physiological levels in vivo range between<br />
3-6% O 2<br />
. Our aim is to compare different parameters such as<br />
proliferation, pluripotency, senescence or apoptosis culturing<br />
human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (hDPSC) under physiological or<br />
environmental oxygen concentrations. The results will be determinant<br />
to obtain enough cells and with good quality for applying<br />
them in regenerative medicine<br />
Emerging researcher<br />

The main aim of this research is<br />
to study the beneficial effects of<br />
physical activity in prevention and<br />
treatment of several pathologies and<br />
more specifically on Alzheimer’s disease,<br />
senile sarcopenia and frailty. We are also interested in the<br />
study of the molecular bases of skeletal muscle atrophy during<br />
periods of immobilization, as well as in its prevention.<br />

infection in HIV-positive patients liver transplant recipients<br />
• To establish the role of insulin and analogues in critically<br />
ill patients<br />
• To assess the epidemiology of invasive candidiasis in the<br />
intensive care unit<br />
• To develop different maneuvers optimization oxygenation<br />
and pulmonary mechanics in patients undergoing mechanical<br />
ventilation<br />
• To assess the possible liver and kidney toxicity caused by<br />
prolonged administration of sevoflurane<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Studying gases used in anesthesia: halogenated agents,<br />
xenon and oxygen; and the effects of anesthetics; oxidative<br />
stress and protection of organs in ischemia-reperfusion<br />
surgery<br />
• Study of oxidative stress biomarkers in exhaled lung water<br />
• Ventilatory and pharmacological strategies to decrease<br />
organ damage in the lungs associated with mechanical<br />
ventilation in healthy and injured lungs<br />

in the field of patients undergoing surgery or admitted<br />
to critical care units<br />
• Study and development of instruments and drugs to<br />
quantify or involved in different pathways of hemostasis<br />
in two ways: prevention of thrombotic complications and<br />
bleeding prevention in the perioperative period<br />
• Study and development of methods of detection of infections,<br />
especially fungal and virological, and how to prevent<br />
them<br />
• Development of neurological monitoring and study measures<br />
to protect brain damage<br />

Emerging researcher<br />
Carlos Ferrando Ortolá<br />
Some of the ongoing research lines in<br />
our group that I am leading are:<br />
1. Role of anaesthetics in the inflammatory<br />
response in anaesthesia and critical<br />
care patients.<br />
2. Strategies to optimize and individualized intraoperative ventilatory<br />
management (precision medicine)<br />
3. Role of the perioperative ventilatory strategies in postoperative<br />
complications. Protocol published in Trials (Ferrando et<br />
al. Trials 2015). This multicenter randomized controlled trial was<br />
performed in 20 Spanish Hospitals and enrolled 1012 patients.<br />
We are currently drafting the manuscript for the NEJM.<br />
4. Role of perioperative supplemental oxygen in postoperative<br />
complications. We are going to start a multicentre randomized<br />
controlled trial with a sample size of 756 patients in 26 Spanish<br />
Hospitals to investigate whether an individualized perioperative<br />
approach with High versus Conventional FIO2 prevents postoperative<br />
SSI (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02776046. PI: Carlos Ferrando).<br />

In the upper panels two images of muscles of Drosophila in<br />
which cell nuclei in blue and activation process of autophagy in<br />
red are detected when the charge of myotonic dystrophy (CTG<br />
expansions) mutation is expressed. In the two lower images<br />
show something similar but in human myoblasts, in which there<br />
is abnormal activation of autophagy (absence of red signal in the<br />
lower left panel), but if patient myoblasts (lower right panel).

Strategic aims<br />
• To participated in the publication of the Global Burden<br />
of Disease study 2013 in The Lancet (2015 Nov<br />
28;386(10009):2145-91). Among the most relevant findings<br />
of this study is the epidemiologic transition, on<br />
a global level, from infectious diseases to chronic noncommunicable<br />
diseases during the period 1990-2013<br />
• To edit a Research Topic in Frontiers entitled “Direct<br />
and Inverse comorbidities between complex disorders”<br />
with the aim of helping to understand unexpected associations<br />
between apparently different diseases/illnesses.<br />
We have also published 7 original articles, with<br />
diverse perspectives ranging from epidemiology to<br />
bioinformatics, about diseases such as malaria, bipolar<br />
disorder, dementia (e.g. Alzheimer’s), Down’s syndrome,<br />
glioblastoma and lung cancer<br />
• To play an active role in defining a clinically useful position<br />
regarding Mild Cognitive Decline as members of<br />
the Cognitive Decline Group of the European Innovation<br />
Partnership for Active and Healthy Ageing (EIPAHA)<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Study of neurocognitive endophenotypes in schizophrenia<br />
and bipolar disorder<br />
• Study of pharmacological strategies for improving cognitive<br />
function in bipolar disorder<br />
• Epidemiology and disability associated with TMG<br />
• Identification of biomarkers in TMG<br />
• Study of the direct and reverse comorbidity in TMG in<br />
relation to cancer and diabetes<br />
• Development and efficacy study of psychoeducation<br />
and neurocognitive therapy and functional rehabilitation<br />
for people with SMI<br />
• Establishment of a clinical staging system (ClinicalStaging)<br />
applied to bipolar disorder by the combination of<br />
biomarkers, neurocognitive and functional performance<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• Vitamin D in women’s health. We have continued with<br />
the inclusion of the cohort, which has already reached<br />
1200 participants. To extend the study of bone metabolism<br />
during pregnancy<br />
• Postmenopausal osteoporosis: role of the calcium sensor<br />
receptor in the osteo-formation and osteoblastogenesis.<br />
Intervention with calcium sensor receptor has<br />
been discarded in its actions on bone bone-forming cells<br />
• Initial aterogenesis and gonadal steroids. Experiences<br />
have been completed in ApoE mutated mice. To publish<br />
a systematic review on bone metabolism in pregnancy<br />
• Gonadal protection in pre-menopausal women treated<br />
with chemotherapy. Progress has been made in the cohort<br />
inclusion process, which is now close to 100 members.<br />
To include endocrine studies in a database<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• In the postmenopausal osteoporosis field, to analyze<br />
the role of calcium sensing receptor in bone formation<br />
and osteoclastogenesis and to study calcium and vitamin<br />
D supplementation and its impact on bone metabolism<br />
• With regard to endometriosis:<br />
·To analyze the role of microRNA and vascularization<br />
regulators and pain mechanisms. Role of the TNF cytokine<br />
family<br />
·To analyze the initial atherogenesis and selective estrogen<br />
receptor modulators<br />
·To study the role of vitamin D in women’s health<br />
·To determine the general and cognitive frailty on women<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Raúl Gómez Gallego<br />
Raúl Gómez´s lines of research are<br />
focused on dissecting how deregulation<br />
of the angiogenic component is<br />
related to the onset and maintenance<br />
of gynecological disorders such us endometriosis,<br />
ovarian hyperstimulation<br />
syndrome, recurrent miscarriage or preeclampsia. We routinely<br />
employ animal models to mimic human disorders in which the<br />
effects of drugs are non-invasively assessed by monitorization of<br />
signal emitted by fluorescently or bioluminiscently labeled xenografted<br />
pathological tissue. We are also interested in developing<br />
test for the early non-invasive diagnosis of endometriosis through<br />
combined analysis of multiple biomarkers simultaneously.<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• Our research was focused on two main objectives: (1)<br />
The identification of specific SSCs markers described in<br />
the human endometrium in the last ten years (W5C5,<br />
ICAM, PDGF, CD146, CD133 and Side Population) by in<br />
vitro and in vivo experiments; and (2) to investigate cell<br />
therapies using stem cells derived from bone marrow as<br />
well as their secreted paracrine factors to regenerate the<br />
endometrium in endometrial pathologies<br />
• We have performed a comparative proteomic analysis<br />
using I-TRAQ technique to determine the protein expression<br />
profile of receptive endometria coming from fertile<br />
donors, with refractory endometrium coming from patients<br />
with and IUD and finally patients with Recurrent<br />
Implantation Failure (RIF). Thus proteomic comparative<br />
will allow us to design and develop and interactome of<br />
the endometrial receptivity, knowing the most important<br />
proteins for the acquisition of this vital ability of the endometrium<br />
to achieve a correct implantation<br />
• We currently start to analyze by arrays the first set of<br />
samples collected 8 control patients (8 samples obtained<br />
in the phase of the cycle LH+2 and 8 samples in<br />
LH+7) and 6 obese patients. The disparity in the number<br />
of samples within each study group is associated<br />
to the difficulty of collecting endometrial fluid from the<br />
patients suffering obesity. Regardless of this setback<br />
and with the aim to identify a miRNA profile intrinsically<br />
linked to the transfer of obesity from mothers to<br />
offspring, two approximations in the “in silico” analyses<br />
of the raw data obtained were done. We are recruiting<br />
more patients<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Adult stem cells in the human endometrium<br />
• Study of endometrial proteomics and embryo viability<br />
• Study of endometrial receptivity<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Irene Cervelló Alcaraz<br />
Research is based on the identification,<br />
characterization and isolation of<br />
Somatic Stem Cells in the endometrium.<br />
Endometrial Stem Cells have<br />
been identified in human and murine<br />
models, the regenerative potential of these cells has been proven<br />
and there is an ongoing research on the existence of Lgr5<br />
marker in the endometrial tissue.<br />
Moreover, the work is also focused on essential processes<br />
based on the regenerative medicine related with the porcine<br />
and human uterus.<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Felip Vilella Mitjana<br />
The research line of Endometrial Receptivity<br />
is based on the study of endometrial<br />
secretions, specifically the<br />
endometrial fluid.<br />
We use secretomic and genomic<br />
approach so we can describe new molecules that can be correlated<br />
with the days of the menstrual cycle and may be involved<br />
in obtaining the window of implantation period, opening<br />
a new field of study for the analysis of the changes in the endometrium<br />
during the menstrual cycle and the cross-talk between<br />
the embryo and the endometrium.<br />
We have demonstrated that human endometrial epithelium<br />
secretes specific microRNAs (miRNAs) during the time frame<br />
when the embryo enters the uterine cavity and initiates its ad-<br />

hesion to the uterine wall. Maternal miRNAs are secreted to<br />
the endometrial fluid, transported through exosomes or bound<br />
to proteins, and are uptaken by the preimplantation embryo,<br />
before implantation occurs, suffering thus transcriptomic<br />
modifications that induce profound molecular and functional<br />
changes.<br />

Strategic aims<br />
• Our results obtained by inducing the exogenous<br />
expression of a combination of selected key germ<br />
cell developmental factors over human somatic<br />
cells demonstrate the ability of human male somatic<br />
cells to directly convert into a meiotic germlike<br />
phenotype. Nevertheless, our study must be<br />
considered an initial attempt to create an in vitro<br />
model for the direct conversion of somatic cells<br />
from patients with gamete-alterations production<br />
into germ cells in vitro, opening the field to discover<br />
new cell therapies to treat them in the future.<br />
• Based on a pilot study that we carried out with 17<br />
infertile couples of oocyte donation program, we<br />
have settled down an initial model with potential<br />
diagnostic which combines embryo oxidative<br />
profile and time-lapse morphokinetic. Through a<br />
logistic regression analyses we have been able to<br />
identify two parameters: cell cycle duration (cc2)<br />
(morphokinetic parameter) and the presence/absence<br />
of interleukin 6 (IL-6). Regarding these two<br />
factors, it has been established four embryo categories<br />
to develop a hierarchical selection model<br />
of embryos. It was observed a positive correlation<br />
between embryo categories and implantation rate<br />
Main lines of research<br />
• Artificial gamete creation through germ line reprogramming<br />
from human somatic cells<br />
• Use of Oxidative stress as a biomarker for embryo viability<br />
in human IVF and its use as an additional marker<br />
to the existing morphokinetic algorithms provided by<br />
time-lapse<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Nicolás Garrido Puchalt<br />
In this research line about male<br />
fertility, factors related to sperm<br />
physiology are intended to be discovered,<br />
and sperm selection techniques<br />
in order to improve reproductive<br />
results are being evaluated. Using<br />
assisted reproduction techniques and<br />
several instrumental tools, the genetic, proteomic and metabolo-<br />
mic profiles, together with DNA integrity are being scrutinized<br />
in order to determine the relevance of these parameters and<br />
improve the diagnosis and the design of new optimal sperm<br />
selection techniques to achieve parenthood.<br />
Emerging researcher<br />
Marcos Meseguer Escrivá<br />
Traditionally, embryo incubation and<br />
assessment daily has been under a<br />
light microscope, these observations<br />
are inevitably restricted to specific<br />
times and considering that the development<br />
of the embryo is a dynamic<br />
process, several critical stages in between observations may go<br />
unnoticed. For this reason, the new technologies, time lapse monitoring;<br />
have focused on the research for additional markers of<br />
viability to supplement current criteria for embryo selection and<br />
thus, achieve a reduction in the number of embryos transferred<br />
and so multiple pregnancies, making the selection procedure<br />
even easier for the embryologist. Our group is pioneer in the<br />
introduction and development of time-lapse technology, being<br />
a reference in the scientific community. Time-lapse allows embryo<br />
analysis without using an invasive technique.<br />
The processes in our laboratory have changed, since it is not<br />
needed to take out the embryos from the incubator to be observed,<br />
and we have more information of each embryo. Time-lapse<br />
incubators take continuous pictures of development that allows<br />
selecting those that have major implantation rate according to<br />
its morphokinetic patterns. In this way we also achieved a much<br />
more stable incubation.<br />
Capturing images is done in multiple focal planes and preprogrammed<br />
time intervals. The sum of each embryo frame<br />
generates a recording that displays the embryonic development<br />
continuously. It represents a major conceptual advance in the<br />
quality assessment by measuring embryonic developmental processes<br />
against embryo stages. Control randomized studies have<br />
demonstrated an increase up to 20% in the chance of success<br />
of assisted reproductive technology. Parallel projects with new<br />
hardware time-lapse technologies as Auxogyn-Eeva and Geri-<br />
Genea are being performed validating and improving the existing<br />
tool for the embryology lab.<br />
New software is being tested to improve current algorithms<br />
for embryo selection. New projects underway are combining<br />
time-lapse technology with non-invasive analysis of surrounding<br />
embryo culture media. Our research is focused in oxygen

consumption, oxidative profile and embryo protein secretions.<br />
Special interest is done in the use of TCL analyzer, a biochemical<br />
measurement that examines the oxidative profile, also connected<br />
to signal transduction which is based on free radicals activity<br />
and the metabolism of the embryo with the culture media where<br />
it grows.<br />

5.1. Ethical Committee in Clinical Research<br />
(ECCR) Activity<br />
INCLIVA Health Research Institute –through its Ethical Committee<br />
in Clinical Research (ECCR) – manages the clinical studies<br />
(trials, observational studies, and research projects) carried out<br />
by the Hospital Clínico Universitario and the Valencia Clínico-<br />
Malvarrosa Health Department.<br />
The ECCR of the Hospital Clínico was awarded in 2013 with the<br />
ISO 9001 certification, a well-known international quality standard.<br />
This recognition guarantees the quality of the assessment<br />
performed by the ECCR, whose main goal is to ensure respect for<br />
the rights and safety of participants in clinical studies and other<br />
research initiatives.<br />
As a result of its activity along 2015, the ECCR has processed a<br />
total of 120 studies (clinical trials and observational studies): 115<br />
assessed, all positively valued.<br />
The distribution of these trials by phase is: Phase I: 11, Phase II:<br />
21, Phase III: 37, Phase IV: 7, Observational studies: 37, others: 6.<br />
The following table shows the number of clinical trials and other<br />
studies according to their typology.<br />
Distribution of trials<br />

Once again, the Department of Medical Oncology and Haematology<br />
leads the number of trials presented to the ECCR. It is<br />
followed by the departments of Neurology, Cardiology, Internal<br />
Medicine and Endocrinology. These five departments make over<br />
75 % of the total processed trials. The following table shows the<br />
number of trials presented per departments and its percentage.<br />

PROYECTO MAMA<br />
INCLIVA’s mission is “to contribute to improving the health and<br />
quality of life of citizens”, therefore, in addition to our own research<br />
projects, it is also involved and committed to initiatives<br />
promoted by individuals who live near some illness.<br />
INCLIVA is currently working on four joint initiatives: Proyecto<br />
Mama, Proyecto Paula, Fundacion Le Cadó and Nico contra el<br />
Cancer. One of the fundamental premises of the institute is the<br />
maximum transparency in the management of the contributions<br />
received.<br />
Proyecto Mama started in September 2012 promoted by Pedro<br />
Alarcon after the death of his mother as a result of breast cancer.<br />
The purpose of this initiative is to get public and private funds to<br />
investigate this disease.<br />
Breast cancer is the most common tumor in women, begins to<br />
appear around age 30, gradually increasing its impact, affecting<br />
up to 9% of the female population at 70 years of age.<br />
These donations provide tax benefits under the Article 66 of<br />
the Law 30/1994 of 24 November on Foundations and Tax to<br />
private participation in activities of general interest incentives.<br />
8.1 Solidary Projects<br />
PROYECTO PAULA<br />
This project was born in 2011 from the hand of Cristina Ponce,<br />
when her 8 years old daughter, Paula, was diagnosed with type<br />
1 diabetes mellitus, a disease that completely destroyed their<br />
insulin-producing cells.<br />
Proyecto Paula focuses its work in raising the necessary funds<br />
and resources, both public and private, to investigate the<br />
Diabetes and in the future to find a cure for Paula and other<br />
people with this illness.<br />
INCLIVA has several groups dedicated to research in diabetes<br />
and belongs to the Biomedical Research Centre in Diabetes and<br />
Associated Metabolic Diseases (CIBERDEM), a public consortium<br />
led by Spain’s research effort of excellence in diabetes and<br />
related metabolic diseases, as well as the translation of research<br />
results into clinical practice.<br />
Since its inception, Proyecto Paula has contributed with more<br />
than 93.000€.<br />
FUNDACION LE CADO<br />
Fundación Le Cado was created in 2010 under the leadership of<br />
its president Elvira Monferrer Daudi. This initiative seeks to unite<br />
efforts and resources in supporting this kind of tumor research,<br />
which is currently the fourth leading cause of death of women.<br />
Fundación Le Cado collaborates with the INCLIVA funding the<br />
research project “Study of breast cancer in young women under<br />
35 years,” conducted by Dr. Gloria Ribas. It also involves other<br />

NICO CONTRA EL CANCER<br />
The movement “Nico contra el cancer” was formed in November<br />
2015 in Ourense, after Nicolas Rodriguez Leal came back<br />
from his surgery intervention at the Hospital La Paz in Madrid.<br />
The movement is led by his mother and aunts as a dependent<br />
activity of the Asociación NEN, whose main objective is to finance<br />
research projects against childhood cancer, and more specifically<br />
solid tumours.<br />
neighboring countries, to encourage donations from businesses<br />
and individuals that may deduct contributions in full and not a<br />
small percentage “.<br />
In turn, Jorge Navarro stated that “INCLIVA Research Groups<br />
are the representation of health excellence in the Valencian<br />
health, and at the Hospital Clínico in particular.” He also thanked<br />
the contribution of “la Caixa” as an example of public-private<br />
partnership that should be encouraged in our society.<br />
Meanwhile researcher Herminia González presented the research<br />
being done on genetic polymorphisms of diabetes, particularly<br />
those that predispose or protect people who have them,<br />
and new markers of inflammation associated with diabetes and<br />
thus new therapeutic pathways that act on these pathways. “In<br />
this way we hope to be able to improve the treatment and outcome<br />
of complications of diabetes.” She stated that “without the<br />
support of Paula Project we had not be able to prove that a protein,<br />
CdK5a / 2b is a protective agent insulin resistance and fatty<br />
liver, as we published this past October.”<br />
