      Here, we describe a new approach designed to monitor the proteolytic activity of maturing phagosomes in live antigen-presenting cells. We find that an ingested particle sequentially encounters distinct protease activities ...
    • Bono Merino, María Rosa; Simon, Valeska; Rosemblatt Silber, Mario César (1989)
      It has been established that early events in lymphocyte activation involve a rise in intracellular Ca++ as well as changes in the flux of other ions. Although a Ca++ channel has been postulated to participate in the early ...
    • Bono Merino, María Rosa; Fernández, Dominique; Flores Santibáñez, Felipe; Rosemblatt Silber, Mario César; Sauma Mahaluf, Daniela (Elsevietr, 2015)
      Extracellular ATP is a danger signal released by dying and damaged cells, and it functions as an immunostimulatory signal that promotes inflammation. However, extracellular adenosine acts as an immunoregulatory signal that ...

      CD39 and CD73 are ectoenzymes that dephosphorylate ATP into its metabolites; ADP, AMP, and adenosine, and thus are considered instrumental in the development of immunosuppressive microenvironments. We have previously shown ...
    • Flores Santibáñez, Felipe; Fernández, Dominique; Meza, Daniel; Tejón, Gabriela; Vargas, Leonardo; Varela Nallar, Lorena; Arredondo, Sebastián; Guixé Leguía, Victoria Cristina; Rosemblatt Silber, Mario César; Bono Merino, María Rosa; Sauma Mahaluf, Daniela (Wiley & Sons, 2015)
      The CD73 ectonucleotidase catalyses the hydrolysis of AMP to adenosine, an immunosuppressive molecule. Recent evidence has demonstrated that this ectonucleotidase is up-regulated in T helper type 17 cells when generated in ...
    • Pino, Karina; Michea, Paula; Sauma Mahaluf, Daniela; Alba, Andrea; Morales, Jorge; Bono Merino, María Rosa; Fierro, Alberto; Rosemblatt Silber, Mario César (SOC BIOLGIA CHILE, 2010-08-12)
      One of the mechanisms for generation of tolerance involves immature dendritic cells (DCs) and a subpopulation of regulatory CD4+ CD25+ T lymphocytes (TREG). The purpose of this work was to analyze how Cyclosporine A (CsA), ...
    • Sauma Mahaluf, Daniela; Fierro, Alberto; Mora, J.R.; Lennon Duménil, Ana María; Bono Merino, María Rosa; Rosemblatt Silber, Mario César; Morales Peña, José (ELSEVIER, 2003-11)
      The mode of action of cyclosporine (CsA) has been ascribed to its capacity to inhibit IL-2 and IFNgamma production by T cells, two cytokines implicated in allograft rejection. Recently, it has been reported that upon ...
