Abstract
La esquizofrenia es en la actualidad una de las enfermedades mentales que mayor grado de
incapacidad genera. Se caracteriza por la presencia de tres tipos de síntomas: positivos,
negativos y cognitivos. Hoy en día no existe cura para este trastorno, y los tratamientos
farmacológicos se orientan a la mejora de la sintomatología de los pacientes. A pesar de que
los tratamientos farmacológicos actuales mejoran los tratamientos clásicos, siguen sin
constituir una terapia óptima para el tratamiento de todos los síntomas de esta enfermedad,
en especial los síntomas cognitivos. Es por esto que es imprescindible desarrollar nuevos
tratamientos que permitan mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Para poder evaluar
nuevas moléculas con potencial terapéutico, los modelos de estudio se basan en ensayos con
varias líneas celulares, sin embargo, no constituyen modelos de estudio idóneos por no
reflejar un fenotipo similar al de la patología. Durante este TFG se ha trabajado en la
diferenciación de la línea celular SH-SY5Y con el fin de desarrollar un modelo celular in vitro
de esquizofrenia para ensayos de cribado de alto rendimiento
Schizophrenia is currently one of the most disabling mental illnesses. It is characterized by the presence of three types of symptoms: positive, negative and cognitive. Nowadays there is no cure for this disorder, and pharmacological treatments are oriented to the improvement of patients' symptoms. Although current pharmacological treatments improve the classical treatments, they still do not constitute an optimal therapy for the treatment of all the symptoms of this disease, especially the cognitive symptoms. This is why it is essential to develop new treatments to improve the quality of life of patients. In order to evaluate new molecules with therapeutic potential, study models are based on assays with several cell lines, however, they are not suitable study models because they do not reflect a phenotype similar to that of the pathology. During this TFG we have worked on the differentiation of the SHSY5Y cell line in order to develop an in vitro cell model of schizophrenia for high-throughput screening assays
