    • Basal autophagy protects cardiomyocytes from doxorubicin-induced toxicity 
      Pizarro, Marcela; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Martínez, Gonzalo J.; Chiong Lay, Mario; Castro, Pablo F.; Lavandero González, Sergio (Elsevier, 2016)
      Doxorubicin (Doxo) is one of the most effective anti-neoplastic agents but its cardiotoxicity has been an important clinical limitation. The major mechanism of Doxo-induced cardiotoxicity is associated to its oxidative ...
    • Cardiovascular autophagy concepts, controversies, and perspectives 
      Lavandero González, Sergio; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Rotherme, Beverly; Martinet, Wim; Sadoshima, Junichi; Hill, Joseph (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2013)
      Despite recent scientific and technological advances, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Autophagy, an evolutionarily ancient response to cellular stress, has been ...
    • Hyperosmotic stress stimulates autophagy via polycystin-2 
      Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Kretschmar, Catalina; Hernando, Cecilia; Budini, Mauricio; Morselli, Eugenia; Lavandero González, Sergio; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo (Impact Journals, 2017)
      Various intracellular mechanisms are activated in response to stress, leading to adaptation or death. Autophagy, an intracellular process that promotes lysosomal degradation of proteins, is an adaptive response to several ...
    • Rapamycin requires AMPK activity and p27 expression for promoting autophagy-dependent Tsc2-null cell survival 
      Campos, Tania; Ziehe, Javiera; Fuentes Villalobos, Francisco; Riquelme, Orlando; Peña, Daniela; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Lavandero González, Sergio; Morín, Violeta; Pincheira, Roxana; Castro, Ariel F. (Elsevier, 2016)
      Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) disease results from inactivation of the TSC1 or TSC2 gene, and is characterized by benign tumors in several organs. Because TSC tumorigenesis correlates with hyperactivation of mTORC1, ...
    • Role of interleukin-6 in vascular health and disease 
      Villar Fincheira, Paulina; Sanhueza Olivares, Fernanda; Norambuena Soto, Ignacio; Cancino Arenas, Nicole; Hernández Vargas, Felipe; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Gabrielli, Luigi; Chiong Lay, Mario (Frontiers Media, 2021)
      IL-6 is usually described as a pleiotropic cytokine produced in response to tissue injury or infection. As a pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-6 activates innate and adaptative immune responses. IL-6 is released in the innate ...
    • The STIM1 inhibitor ML9 disrupts basal autophagy in cardiomyocytes by decreasing lysosome content 
      Shaikh, S.; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Mondaca Ruff, David; Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; García Nannig, Lorena; Chiong Lay, Mario; Lavandero González, Sergio (Elsevier, 2018)
      Stromal-interaction molecule 1 (STIM1)-mediated store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) plays a key role in mediating cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, there is growing support for the contribution ...
    • Trypanosoma cruzi calreticulin: A possible role in Chagas' disease autoimmunity 
      Hager Ribeiro, Carolina; López Bartolucci, Carolina; Ramírez Toloza, Galia; Valck Calderón, Carolina Eliana; Molina, María Carmen; Aguilar, Lorena; Rodríguez, Margarita; Maldonado, Ismael; Martínez, Ramón; González, Carlos; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Lavandero González, Sergio; Gingras, Alexandre R.; Schwaeble, Wilhelm; Ferreira, Arturo (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009-03)
      Trypanosoma cruzi (T cruzi) is the causative agent of Chagas' disease, an endemic and chronic illness that affects 18 million people in Latin America. The mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis are controversial. There is ...
