    • Estève, Eric; Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Bannister, Roger A.; Pessah, Isaac N.; Beam, Kurt G.; Allen, Paul D.; López, José R. (2010)
      Bidirectional signaling between the sarcolemmal L-type Ca2+ channel (1,4-dihydropyridine receptor [DHPR]) and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channel (type 1 ryanodine receptor [RYR1]) of skeletal muscle is ...
    • Bannister, Roger A.; Estève, Eric; Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Pessah, Isaac N.; Allen, Paul D.; López, José R.; Beam, Kurt G. (2010)
      Bidirectional communication between the 1,4-dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) in the plasma membrane and the type 1 ryanodine receptor (RYR1) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is responsible for both skeletal-type ...

      Background—Dengue fever is one of the most significant re-emerging tropical diseases, despite our expanding knowledge of the disease, viral tropism is still not known to target heart tissues or muscle. Methods—A prospective ...
    • Eisner, Verónica; Quiroga, Clara; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo; Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Chiong Lay, Mario; Parra, Valentina; Hidalgo, Karla; Toro, Barbra; Díaz Araya, Guillermo; Lavandero González, Sergio (ELSEVIER, 2006-06-12)
      NF kappa B is a participant in the process whereby cells adapt to stress. We have evaluated the activation of NF kappa B pathway by hyperosmotic stress in cultured cardiomyocytes and its role in the activation of caspase ...
    • Morales, María Paz; Gálvez, Anita; Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Ocaranza, María Paz; Díaz Araya, Guillermo; Lavandero González, Sergio (ACADEMIC PRESS INC, 2000-04-21)
      Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a natural protectant of cardiac myocytes that has been shown to improve cardiac function. The role of IGF-1 in attenuating apoptosis induced by osmotic stress (sorbitol, SOR) or by ...
    • Maldonado, Carola; Eisner, Verónica; Gálvez, Anita; Ulloa Valenzuela, Juan Alberto; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo; Ocaranza Osses, Paula; Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Morales, María Paz; Quiroga Lagos, Clara; Campos Bastidas, Ximena; Chiong Lay, Mario; Sapag Hagar, Mario; Lavandero González, Sergio (Sociedad Chilena de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular, 2001)
      La apoptosis junto a la paraptosis y la necrosis constituyen las principales formas de muerte celular conocidas hasta la fecha. La apoptosis se caracteriza por una disminución del volumen celular y formación de "cuerpos ...
    • Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; García, Alejandra; Hidalgo Tapia, Jorge; Liberona Leppe, José; Chiong Lay, Mario; Lavandero González, Sergio; Maldonado Maldonado, Edio; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique (AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2006-04-28)
      Tetanic electrical stimulation of myotubes evokes a ryanodine receptor-related fast calcium signal, during the stimulation, followed by a phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent slow calcium signal few seconds ...

      In all cell types, the maintenance of normal cell volume is an essential homeostatic function. Relatively little is known about the induction of apoptosis by hyperosmotic stress and its molecular mechanism in terminally ...
    • Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Yang, Tianzhong; Li, Hongli; Molinski, Tadeusz F.; Pessah, Isaac N.; Allen, Paul D.; López, José R. (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc., 2010-04-30)
      The control of resting free Ca2+ in skeletal muscle is thought to be a balance of channels, pumps, and exchangers in both the sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum. We explored these mechanisms using pharmacologic and ...
    • Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Hidalgo Tapia, Jorge; Liberona Leppe, José; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique (Biophysical Society, 2004-05)
      The fluorescent calcium signal from rat myotubes in culture was monitored after field-stimulation with tetanic protocols. After the calcium signal sensitive to ryanodine and associated to the excitation-contraction coupling, ...
