- Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most prevalent chronic rheumatic diseases and it is highly disabling. Current therapeutic strategies greatly improve the quality of life of the patient. However, selection from the wide range of available disease modifying agents (DMARDs) is still done through trial and error strategies. This project aims to integrate molecular data obtained from the proteomic analysis of different cohorts of RA patients and to obtain, by these means, clinical-molecular predictive models to facilitate the establishment of precision medicine strategies in patients with RA.
– Title: Development and clinical validation of an early OA diagnosis kit.

- PI: Francisco Javier Blanco García.
- Members of team involved: Natividad Oreiro; Cristina Ruiz Romero; Patricia Fernández Puente; Valentina Calamia; Elena Fernández Burguera.
- Abstract: The project proposes the development and clinical validation of a kit for the early diagnosis of OA. This kit is based on suspension beads arrays capable of analyzing simultaneously a panel of 20 circulating proteins with potential OA-biomarker value that have been previously identified by our group. The project will initially develop a semi-quantitative multiplex analysis kit, which will be evaluated in a blind analysis on sera from the PROCOAC cohort, and then the best candidates will be selected for a final quantitative kit that will be validated for clinical use in samples from the incidence cohort of the OsteoArthritis Initiative (OAI).

- Members of team involved: Ignacio Rego Pérez, Mercedes Fernández Moreno, Natividad Oreiro Villar, Juan Fernández Tajes, Morena Scotece, Elisabeth Lamas Rivero, Alejandro Durán Sotela.
- Abstract: There are OA patients that remain relatively stable over time whilst others progress in a rapid and severe way, achieving a rapid increase of their KL grade in less than 48 months (rapid progressors). Mitochondrial haplogroups condition the rate of incidence and progression of OA, however, the influence of the mitochondrial genetics, as well as the consequences of its interactions with nuclear polymorphisms, in the rate of rapid progression is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify mitochondrial genetic variants related to rapid progression in a prospective cohort of OA patients by means of next generation sequencing techniques and to explore potential interactions between mitochondrial polymorphisms and the most robust nuclear polymorphisms related to OA susceptibility.

These markers will be combined with other genetic and clinical data to obtain a predictive tool that can be used in clinical practice. The A Coruña Hospital cohort (PROCOAC) and preliminary data from GIR will be used for the identification of markers for therapy selection. Samples from the REMRABIT personalized medicine project will be employed for the identification of therapy optimization markers.

- Abstract: In Aging and Osteoarthritis (OA), defects in cellular homeostasis, and in particular in autophagy, precede joint damage. OA is a complex and multifactorial disease, where systemic metabolic status plays a key role. In this sense, patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) present more prevalent and severe OA, so it has been proposed as a new clinical phenotype. However, the mechanisms that define this effect are not fully understood. We have recently shown that there is a decrease in autophagy in chondrocytes and cartilage from patients with OA and T2D. These data suggest that the joint damage presented by patients with OA and T2D could be due to a failure of autophagy, provoking an accumulation of cellular products related to inflammatory and metabolic mediators. These observations represent a unique opportunity to identify and validate biomarkers associated with autophagy and could facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies to prevent joint damage associated with T2D.

- Abstract: This project aims to validate a panel of 20 proteins with potential biomarker utility for osteoarthritis in two independent cohorts: the American cohort (OAI) and the cohort from Hospital Universitario de A Coruña (PROCOAC). To perform this validation, two complementary targeted proteomics techniques will be used: mass spectrometry (MRM assays) and antibody microarrays. The use of these techniques on the incidence and progression subcohorts of OAI, and the subsequent external validation of the results in the PROCOAC cohort, would allow selecting the best biomarker candidates and obtaining predictive scores for diagnosis and prognosis of OA, with wide applicability in clinic.

- Abstract: OA causes significant comorbidity leading to the simultaneous manifestation of chronic, inflammatory and related diseases in the same patient. Here we aim to design a Biomedical Platform of Knowledge by means of Big Data analysis to integrate clinical and molecular information from well-characterized collections of samples from different cohorts (HIV, Rheumatic, Metabolic and Cardiovascular Disease). The designed platform will allow a comprehensive analysis of all available data to identify unknown OA clinical phenotypes, evaluate mtDNA haplogroups and mitochondrial dysfunction as potential biomarkers and to characterize OA phenotypes with an enhanced inflammatory scenario that takes place under concomitant psoriasis and/or HIV infection.

- Abstract: This project aims to understand how epigenetic modifiers, taken either as drugs or together with the diet, affect OA progression, so that they can be used to treat patients. In a first approach, human chondrocytes will be treated with a range of chemicals that potentially can modulate epigenetic control in OA to study the expression of OA genes-related that correlate with epigenetic changes. Identified prospective chemicals will be tested in an OA mice model. Then, epigenetic markers detected will be correlated in samples from the OAI cohort that have demonstrated that adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with better quality of life and lower OA prevalence.

- Abstract: The main risk factor for Osteoarthritis (OA) is ageing. An emerging concept for age-related diseases is that senescent cells accumulate with time and release SASP(senescence-associated secretory profile) products, which alter tissue functions. Accumulation of senescent cells during lifespan is believed to contribute to progressive tissue loss of functions. Specific elimination of these cells could prevent some age- associated diseases.

- Abstract: Methylation is a dynamic process prone to changes in the environment also involved in the phenotypic modulation that articular chondrocytes undergo during OA. In addition, nutrition and obesity are OA risk factors associated with alterations in DNA methylation. Mitochondria are involved in OA and modulate the DNA methylome, consequently the analysis of DNA methylome is a powerful tool to identify new OA biomarkers. The aim of this work is to create a chondrocyte-based cellular model of cytoplasmic cybrids to analyze the differential methylome, from exposure to oxidative stress, diet and inflammatory stimuli on different mitochondrial backgrounds to design a classifier that allow the identification of different OA phenotypes.

- Abstract: Effective treatments for osteoarthritis (OA) are not available. Advances in mechanisms in aging-related diseases, including OA, have led to the concept that the failure of cellular homeostasis mechanisms, such as, autophagy can cause extracellular matrix destruction and cell death. In this sense, pharmacological stimulation of autophagy has anti-aging effects and may promote longevity. Chondrocytes are required for maintenance of cartilage integrity. With aging, chondrocytes function is limited, contributing to an imbalance in anabolic and catabolic activity and induce cellular senescence. These observations provide a unique opportunity to study cartilage aging with the objective to explore the therapeutic potential of pharmacological prevention of chondrocyte senescence and autophagy.

- Abstract: Methylation is a dynamic process prone to changes in the environment also involved in the phenotypic modulation that articular chondrocytes undergo during OA. In addition, nutrition and obesity are OA risk factors associated with alterations in DNA methylation. Mitochondria are involved in OA and modulate the DNA methylome, consequently the analysis of DNA methylome is a powerful tool to identify new OA biomarkers. The aim of this work is to create a chondrocyte-based cellular model of cytoplasmic cybrids to analyze the differential methylome, from exposure to oxidative stress, diet and inflammatory stimuli on different mitochondrial backgrounds to design a classifier that allow the identification of different OA phenotypes.

- Abstract: The objective of this project is to develop three complementary targeted proteomic techniques in order to validate a panel of 200 protein biomarkers of Osteoarthritis. We will employ the following technologies: 1) targeted mass spectrometry (MRM assays); 2) analytical protein microarrays and 3) hybrid methodologies, involving immunoaffinity enrichment and subsequently mass spectrometry. The use of these techniques on serum and synovial fluid samples will allow validating the best candidates and developing a method for the molecular in vitro diagnosis of osteoarthritis that could be easily translated to the clinical routine and is potentially patentable.
