Patogénesis e inmunidad viral
A) Desarrollo de metodología point of care frente a hepatitis virales en el reservorio del VIH
El tratamiento precoz de las hepatitis virales reduce el deterioro progresivo del hígado y evita el trasplante hepático. Resulta esencial disponer de métodos diagnóstico rápido, sencillos y coste-efectivos, para el cribado, en la vigilancia epidemiológica y el diagnóstico virológico temprano de enfermedades virales hepáticas. Línea de investigación llevada a cabo en colaboración con el Dr. Ricardo Madrid (BioAssays S.L).
B) Impacto de la coinfección y eliminación de las hepatitis virales en el reservorio del VIH
La coinfección por el VHC impacta en el reservorio del VIH, principal obstáculo para eliminar esta infección. Se realizan distintos abordajes del estudio del reservorio del VIH en pacientes VIH+ con distinta exposición al VHC, y tras su eliminación espontánea o con antivirales de acción directa, con el objetivo de identificar y proponer nuevas estrategias de eliminación/curación del VIH. Esta línea de Investigación se desarrolla en el seno del Grupo Multidisciplinar COVIHEP (COinfección por VIH y HEPatitis).
C) Identificación de marcadores de senescencia inducida por virus y estrategias paliativas
Las infecciones virales inducen una senescencia acelerada cuyo impacto afecta a la evolución de la enfermedad y a posibles comorbilidades. Nuestro objetivo es profundizar en los mecanismos que desencadenan la inmunosenescencia y estrés oxidativo asociado a infecciones virales e identificar nuevas estrategias terapéuticas que palien el envejecimiento prematuro en estos pacientes.
D) Impacto de SARS-CoV-2 en la infección por el VIH y hepatitis virales
Se desconocen las complicaciones a largo plazo de la infección por SARS-CoV-2 en personas que viven con VIH y/o hepatitis virales que podrían experimentar un desarrollo clínico de la enfermedad más desfavorable. La identificación de biomarcadores de gravedad no invasivos (como en sangre/plasma) resulta de especial interés en estos pacientes.
E) Origen y Epidemiología de la enfermedad hepática
Estudio del origen y la dinámica de transmisión espacio-temporal de los virus hepáticos, clave para el entendimiento de su evolución y propagación, así como en el análisis de la carga global de las enfermedades, lo que podría ayudar a desarrollar programas de Salud Pública encaminados a prevenir y frenar su transmisión.
F) Impacto de la viremia de bajo grado del VIH
Se desconoce tanto el origen como los mecanismos de la viremia de bajo grado, presente entre el 3 y 16% que las personas que viven con VIH. Su presencia podría desembocar en un mayor riesgo de sufrir comorbilidades relacionadas con enfermedades cardiovasculares, cáncer y trastornos metabólicos.
G) Calidad del aire y su impacto en poblaciones vulnerables
La contaminación del aire agrava las patologías infecciosas y la salud cardiovascular y respiratoria. La evolución de la enfermedad en personas con enfermedades crónicas con VIH y hepatitis puede verse agravada tras la inhalación continua de contaminantes ambientales. Línea de investigación llevada a cabo en colaboración con el CNSA y el CNE del ISCIII.
H) Coinfección por VHE y protistas entéricos en el reservorio humano y animal: vigilancia e investigación
La coinfección entre virus y protistas entéricos podría influir en la cotransmisión y patogenicidad de dichas especies. Línea de investigación, bajo el concepto “One Health” que se centra en la vigilancia y estudio de la coinfección del VHE y protistas entéricos. Colaboración con el grupo multidisciplinar COHEPROEN (COinfección HEpatitis y PROtistas ENtéricos).
