    • Nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin is associated with endosomal sequestration of the destruction complex ... 
      Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Silva, Patricio; Venegas, Sebastián; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo; Torres Gómez, Vicente (Wiley, 2020)
      Potentially malignant lesions, commonly referred to as dysplasia, are associated with malignant transformation by mechanisms that remain unclear. We recently reported that increased Wnt secretion promotes the nuclear ...
    • Nuclear localization of β-catenin and expression of target genes are associated with increased Wnt secretion ... 
      Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Maturana Ramírez, Andrea; Torres Gómez, Vicente (Elsevier, 2019)
      Objectives: To evaluate the localization of β-catenin in oral dysplastic cells, the expression of target genes upregulated in oral dysplasia, and the role of Wnt ligands in these events. Materials and methods: Subcellular ...
    • PKD2/polycystin-2 induces autophagy by forming a complex with BECN1 
      Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Rodríguez Peña, Marcelo; Burgos Bravo, Francesca; Vergara, Ángelo; Kretschmar Montecinos, Catalina; Sotomayor Flores, Cristián; Ramírez Sarmiento, César A.; De Smedt, Humbert; Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Pérez, William; Torres Gómez, Vicente; Morselli, Eugenia; Altamirano, Francisco; Wilson, Christian; Hill, Joseph A.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo (Taylor & Francis, 2020)
      Macroautophagy/autophagy is an intracellular process involved in the breakdown of macromolecules and organelles. Recent studies have shown that PKD2/PC2/TRPP2 (polycystin 2, transient receptor potential cation channel), a ...
    • The RabGEF ALS2 is a hypoxia inducible target associated with the acquisition of aggressive traits in tumor cells 
      Rivas, Solange; Silva, Patricio; Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Sepúlveda, Hugo; Solano, Luis; Acuña, Juan; Guerrero, Marisol; Varas Godoy, Manuel; Quest, Andrew F. G.; Montecino, Martín; Torres Gómez, Vicente (Nature, 2020)
      Tumor hypoxia and the hypoxia inducible factor-1, HIF-1, play critical roles in cancer progression and metastasis. We previously showed that hypoxia activates the endosomal GTPase Rab5, leading to tumor cell migration and ...
    • The salivary peptide histatin-1 promotes endothelial cell adhesion, migration, and angiogenesis 
      Torres, Pedro; Díaz Jara, Jorge; Arce, Maximiliano; Silva, Patricio; Mendoza, Pablo; Lois, Pablo; Molina Berríos, Alfredo Enrique; Owen, Gareth I.; Palma Alvarado, Verónica; Torres Gómez, Vicente (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2017)
      Saliva is a key factor that contributes to the high efficiency of wound healing in the oral mucosa. This is not only attributed to physical cues but also to the presence of specific peptides in the saliva, such as histatins. ...
    • Wnt/beta-Catenin Signaling in Oral Carcinogenesis 
      Reyes Rojas, Montserrat; Flores Lillo, Tania; Betancur, Diego; Peña Oyarzún, Daniel; Torres Gómez, Vicente (MDPI, 2020)
      Oral carcinogenesis is a complex and multifactorial process that involves cumulative genetic and molecular alterations, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation, impaired DNA repair and defective cell death. At the ...
