Strategic Objective
This group focuses on the study of the reprogramming of the innate immune response in the context of inflammatory diseases (e.g., sepsis, cystic fibrosis, acute coronary syndrome, lung cancer) using the description of the various molecular mechanisms that underlie the reprogramming of monocytes/macrophages during refractory states. The innate immune response is activated in various clinical contexts that can be modelled in vitro. The initial reaction of the Innate Immune System is marked by an inflammatory response that is similar in different contexts. However, after the initial response, a “deviation” is produced towards an “alternative” response that may, in many cases, lead to refractory states such as endotoxin and tumour tolerance. These refractory states may have undesirable clinical consequences and their study is the objective of our research.
Research Lines
• Molecular mechanisms of the innate immune system tolerance to tumours in several clinical contexts.
• Molecular mechanisms of endotoxin tolerance in several clinical contexts: respiratory diseases (OSA and cystic fibrosis), acute coronary syndrome, sepsis and septic shock and leukaemias.
• Role of the innate immune system in metastasis.
• Myeloid cell polarization and atherogenesis.
• Role of some mediators of the innate immune system in cardiovascular diseases.
