    • Attenuation of endoplasmic reticulum stress using the chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyric acid prevents ... 
      Ayala, Pedro; Montenegro, José; Vivar, Raúl; Letelier, Alan; Urroz, Pablo Aránguiz; Copaja, Miguel; Pivet, Deisy; Humeres, Claudio; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Vicencio, José Miguel; Lavandero González, Sergio; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2012)
      Increasing evidence indicates that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in various diseases. In the human heart, ischemia/reperfusion has been correlated to ER stress, and several markers of the unfolded protein ...
    • Beta2-adrenergic receptor regulates cardiac fibroblast autophagy and collagen degradation 
      Aránguiz Urroz, Pablo Daniel; Canales, Jimena; Copaja, Miguel; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Vicencio Bustamante, José Miguel; Carrillo, Constanza; Lara Peñaloza, Hernán; Lavandero González, Sergio; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2011)
      Autophagy is a physiological degradative process key to cell survival during nutrient deprivation, cell differentiation and development. It plays a major role in the turnover of damaged macromolecules and organelles, and ...
    • Differential regulation of collagen secretion by kinin receptors in cardiac fibroblast and myofibroblast 
      Catalán, Mabel; Smolic, Christian; Contreras, Ariel; Ayala, Pedro; Olmedo, Ivonne; Copaja, Miguel; Boza Fuentes, Pía; Vivar, Raúl; Avalos, Yennifer; Lavandero González, Sergio; Velarde, Victoria; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2012)
      Kinins mediate their cellular effects through B1 (B1R) and B2 (B2R) receptors, and the activation of B2R reduces collagen synthesis in cardiac fibroblasts (CF). However, the question of whether B1R and/or B2R have a role ...
    • Simvastatin induces apoptosis by a Rho-dependent mechanism in cultured cardiac fibroblasts and myofibroblasts 
      Copaja, Miguel; Venegas, Daniel; Aránguiz, Pablo; Canales, Jimena; Vivar, Raúl; Catalán, Mabel; Olmedo, Ivonne; Rodríguez, Andrea E.; Chiong Lay, Mario; Leyton Campos, Lisette; Lavandero González, Sergio; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2011)
      Several clinical trials have shown the beneficial effects of statins in the prevention of coronary heart disease. Additionally, statins promote apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells, in renal tubular epithelial cells ...
