    • Ponce, Daniela P.; Yefi, Roger; Cabello, Pablo; Maturana, Jose L.; Niechi, Ignacio; Silva, Eduardo; Galindo, Mario; Antonelli, Marcelo; Marcelain Cubillos, Katherine; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Tapia, Julio C. (2011)
      β-Catenin is crucial in the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. This pathway is up-regulated by CK2 which is associated with an enhanced expression of the antiapoptotic protein survivin, although the underlying molecular ...
    • Silva-Pavez, Eduardo; Villar, Paulina; Trigo, César; Caamaño, Esteban; Niechi, Ignacio; Pérez, Pablo; Muñoz, Juan P.; Aguayo, Francisco; Burzio, Verónica A.; Varas Godoy, Manuel; Castro, Ariel F.; Colombo, María I.; Tapia, Julio C. (Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
      Protein kinase CK2 is a highly conserved and constitutively active Ser/Thr-kinase that phosphorylates a large number of substrates, resulting in increased cell proliferation and survival. A known target of CK2 is Akt, a ...
    • Tapia, Julio C.; Niechi, Ignacio (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2019)
      The endothelin-1 (ET-1) axis contributes to the pathophysiology of several cancers by promoting tumor development and progression. This peptide is activated from its precursor, big ET-1, by endothelin-converting enzyme-1 ...
    • Torres, Ángelo; Erices, Jose Ignacio; Sanchez, Fabiola; Ehrenfeld, Pamela; Turchi, Laurent; Virolle, Thierry; Uribe, Daniel; Niechi, Ignacio; Spichiger, Carlos; Rocha, José Dellis; Ramirez, Marcos; Salazar Onfray, Flavio; San Martín, Rody; Quezada, Claudia (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2019)
      Glioblastoma (GBM) is the brain tumor with the worst prognosis composed of a cell subpopulation called Glioblastoma Stem-like Cells (GSCs) responsible for tumor recurrence mediated by cell invasion. GSCs persist in a hypoxic ...
    • Ponce, Daniela P.; Maturana, Jose L.; Cabello, Pablo; Yefi, Roger; Niechi, Ignacio; Silva, Eduardo; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Galindo, Mario; Antonelli, Marcelo; Tapia, Julio C. (2011)
      β-Catenin is a key protein in the canonical Wnt signaling pathway and in many cancers alterations in transcriptional activity of its components are observed. This pathway is up-regulated by the protein kinase CK2, but the ...
    • Pérez Moreno, Pablo; Quezada Meza, Camila; Chávez Almarza, Cristopher; Niechi, Ignacio; Silva Pavez, Eduardo; Trigo Hidalgo, César; Aguayo González, Francisco; Jara Sosa, Lilian; Cáceres Verschae, Albano; Varas Godoy, Manuel; Díaz, Víctor M.; García de Herreros, Antonio; Burzio, Verónica A.; Tapia Pineda, Julio (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE1) activates the endothelin-1 peptide, which upregulates pathways that are related to diverse hallmarks of cancer. ECE1 is expressed as four isoforms differing in their N-terminal domains. ...
    • Yefi, Roger; Ponce, Daniela P.; Niechi, Ignacio; Silva, Eduardo; Cabello, Pablo; Rodriguez, Diego A.; Marcelain Cubillos, Katherine; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Quest, Andrew F. G.; Tapia, Julio C. (2011)
      Augmented expression of protein kinase CK2 is associated with hyperproliferation and resistance to apoptosis in cancer cells. Effects of CK2 are at least partially linked to signaling via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which ...
