CO6: Applied Cardiovascular and Proteomic Regenerative Therapy

The group is mainly made up of basic researchers, but also clinical researchers from primary care and internal medicine, all participating jointly in the projects that are being carried out.

In addition, we currently have several open lines of research in collaboration with the Angiology and Vascular Surgery Unit of the HUPM, researchers from various centers (IBIS, National Hospital for Paraplegics), as well as the company Rexgenero Biosciences.

Basically, our work focuses on studying the mechanisms of action of various cell types (progenitor endothelial cells, regulatory T cells, mesenchymal cells) in order to apply them as cell therapy in atherosclerosis and more in specifically in peripheral ischemia of the lower limbs (ICMI).

To this end, we carry out in vitro assays to characterize the molecular mechanisms by which these cells are activated in response to atherosclerotic environments, using proteomic tools, as well as to determine their behavior against said environment, using functional assays (proliferation, migration , angiogenesis), in order to modulate them and enhance their regenerative (endothelial) and anti-inflammatory (Tregs) role.

In turn, we performed in vivo assays, using an ICMI mouse model, to assess the vascular regenerative power of progenitor and mesenchymal endothelial cells. We use this same model with the Rex-001 cells of the company Rexgenero. At this point, we assess the changes that occur as a consequence of ischemia as well as in response to cell treatment (recovery of blood flow, neovascularization, arterogenesis). On the other hand, we are also carrying out biodistribution tests, to determine where the administered cells go, which is important in preclinical tests.

In parallel, we also apply proteomic tools to identify biomarkers related to cardiovascular diseases, mainly atherosclerosis, in order to define protein panels that allow detecting patients with thrombotic risks through routine analysis to prevent such events.
