Introduction The Molecular Oncology Research Center “Centro de Pesquisa em Oncologia Molecular” (CPOM) was inaugurated on August 19, 2010, by the former Minister of Health, Dr. José Temporão. The CPOM is framed at the Institute for Research and Education “Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa” (IEP) of Barretos Cancer Hospital, which in conjunction with other clinical departments of the Hospital, as well as the Department of Clinical Research and Postgraduation in Oncology, are the basic foundations in developing the future of oncology medicine - personalized medicine. The CPOM is installed in the new building of the IEP, with an area of 1,000 m2. The project design was based on the most modern research centers, emphasizing the convenience of movement, sharing of technological resources and the supervision of experience professionals. The complex infrastructure of CPOM counts with state-of-the-art laboratories of cytogenetics, molecular genetics, and molecular and cellular biology, allowing the development of different research lines of in the field of molecular oncology. During 2012, the second year of CPOM, we observed the growing of the projects generated in the first year, and the implementation of numerous and varied scientific partnerships. A significant number of researchers joined the Center, increasing its multidisciplinary, critical mass and consequently productivity. This year, the Hospital was included in the Outreach Program of St. Jude’s Children Hospital, which will bring significant opportunities for research in pediatric oncology and has also approved to be part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), an international initiative to performed large scale next sequencing generation of cancer worldwide, which puts the CPOM as a partner in a select group of institutions. 3 Molecular Oncology Research Center – Barretos Cancer Hospital To evaluate and guide their steps, the CPOM was an External Advisory Board, which consists of the following members: - Jorge Reis-Filho (MSKCC, USA) - Jorge Gomez (NCI, USA) - Luisa Villa (INCT-CNPq, Brazil) - Manuel Sobrinho-Simões (IPATIMUP, Portugal) - Oliver Bogler (MDAnderson, USA) 1) Mission To promote knowledge and innovation in order to apply molecular oncology in cancer control. - Knowledge of the causes, biological mechanisms and targets, - Innovation in detection, diagnostic, treatment and prognosis, - Application in prevention and assistance to patient. 2) Team Senior Researcher Adhemar Longatto Filho, PhD – Coordinator of Post-graduation Andre Lopes Carvalho, PhD,MD – Executive Director IEP Benedito Mauro Rossi, PhD,MD – External Collaborator Ismael Dale Cotrim Guerreiro da Silva, PhD,MD – External Collaborator José Humberto Tavares Guerreiro Fregnani, PhD, MD – Scientific Director of IEP Luiz Fernando Lopes, PhD, MD – Coordinator of Pediatrics Department Rui Manuel Reis, PhD, MD– Coordinator of CPOM Visiting Professor Kari J Syrianny, PhD, MD – Universidade de Turku, Kuusisto, Finlândia.

Among these plethora of players, receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and intracellular MAPK, PI3KCA/AKT and JAK/STAT pathways, have a crucial impact in cancer development, behavior and currently, there is also an attractive therapeutic target. Our group is focused in evaluate the major genetic alterations that disrupt these cellular circuits, and understand their impact on patient prognosis and therapeutic response. Additionally, using tumor cell line and primary culture models we intend to understand their function and biological impact on cancer. Biomarkers We now know that cancer is a disease of the genome and this new vision has introduced a new paradigm. In this scenario, the genome of the cancer can be more objectively in the stratification of patients with cancer, leading to the emerging personalized medicine in oncology. In order to achieve this aim, it is necessary to identify from the myriad of cancer genomic changes, which ones have a clinical value - biomarkers. The diagnosis based on the genome, it should present a high sensitivity and specificity, and detection of these biomarkers should be possible not only in tumor tissue, but also extended to other body fluids such as plasma, serum, urine, saliva, strokes cavity, allowing so early detection and the ability to monitor tumor development. With a huge bank of tissues and fluids of cancer patients in Barretos Hospital of Cancer (CrioBio) and a detailed medical history, our group intends to validate potential biomarkers known in the Brazilian population, as well as identify new biomarkers. Functional Genomics of Cancer The genomic science aims to understand how genes and genetic information is organized within the genome (structural genomics) and how the organization determines its function (functional genomics). The functional genomics applied to cancer aims to evaluate 7 Molecular Oncology Research Center – Barretos Cancer Hospital systematically and simultaneously, the expression of genes (mRNA), microRNAs or proteins to a better understanding of the molecular genetic basis governing the process of carcinogenesis. Our research group intends to use the functional genomics resources for transcriptional signatures mRNA and microRNAs expression in order to point out potential molecular biomarkers of tumor progression. Additionally, using tumor cell line we can validate the miRNA-mRNA interactions through functional tests using silencing of miRNAs (using anti-miRNAs or anti-MIRs) and thus assess the impact of these new biomarkers in the progression cancer. Environmental factors and Cancer The exposure to different types of environmental factors such as: food, occupational conditions, medications, hormones, radiation, viruses, bacteria, chemical agents, air pollution and water are intrinsically linked to the occurrence of cancer in exposed populations. The determination of the potential cancer risk in the exposure to environmental factors can contribute to public policies and preventive measures. Therefore, our research group aims to assess populations exposed to chemical or environmental factors using genetic biomarkers. Considering the susceptibility of each individual to metabolize carcinogenic agents, we intend to reveal the molecular mechanisms involved in the resistance to these compounds, polymorphisms, gene-environment interactions and its implications in carcinogenesis. Hereditary Cancer Several cancers developed in higher than normal frequencies may be related to inherited genetic alterations, present in predisposed families. Around 10% of most cancer types are due to the presence of germline mutations, leading to an increased lifetime cancer risk. The recognition of a hereditary cancer-affected individual is crucial for the identification of other at-risk family members and their inclusion in cancer risk reduction strategies. The focus of our research group is to prematurely identify, characterize and analyze, clinically and molecularly, these at-risk individuals. Genetic modifiers that may contribute to an increased cancer development risk, such as genetic polymorphisms, rearrangements, copy number variations are also part of our research work. 8 Molecular Oncology Research Center – Barretos Cancer Hospital -Epigenetic Epigenetic are related to reversible events that do not produce modification in the genomic DNA sequence, but rather alters its phenotype, influencing mechanisms related to gene expression. Methylation is the most common epigenetic event, being a very important biologic process involved in gene silencing. The study of hypermethylation can give vital information on the understanding of carcinogenesis, as well as the evaluation of its pattern can be used as a biomarker for diagnosis, treatment planning and prognosis of an individual. Pediatric Tumor Biology Although considered rare, childhood cancer is the leading cause of disease-related mortality in children. Cancer in the childhood often is more devastating and aggressive than their counterparts in adults. Despite the progress in cure rates and survival improvement achieved in the last Decades, there is a group of tumors that still do not respond to any available standard treatment. Our goal is to apply the knowledge and tools of molecular biology to clarify and understand the biology and pathogenesis of pediatric tumors, in order to identify potential biological markers that may support diagnosis and/or indicate prognosis of pediatric patients. As well, we are looking for the altered pathways/genes that can be targets for new therapy strategies 4) Productivity 4.1) Books or Book Chapters 1. Lopes LF, Almeida MTA.
