    • Calcium transport and signaling in mitochondria 
      Bravo Sagua, Roberto; Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; López Crisosto, Camila; Díaz, Paula; Quest, Andrew F. G.; Lavandero González, Sergio (Wiley, 2017-04)
      Calcium (Ca2+) is a key player in the regulation of many cell functions. Just like Ca2+, mitochondria are ubiquitous, versatile, and dynamic players in determining both cell survival and death decisions. Given their ...
    • Down syndrome critical region 1 gene, Rcan1, helps maintain a more fused Mitochondrial Network 
      Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Altamirano, Francisco; Hernández Fuentes, Carolina; Tong, Dan; Kyrychenko, Victoriia; Rotter, David; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Hill, Joseph A.; Eisner, Verónica; Lavandero González, Sergio; Schneider, Jay W.; Rothermel, Beverly A. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018)
      Rationale: The regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1) inhibits CN (calcineurin), a Ca2+-activated protein phosphatase important in cardiac remodeling. In humans, RCAN1 is located on chromosome 21 in proximity to the Down ...
    • Increased ER-mitochondrial coupling promotes mitochondrial respiration and bioenergetics during early phases ... 
      Bravo Méndez, Roberto; Vicencio Bustamante, José Miguel; Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Muñoz, Juan Pablo; Bui, Michael; Quiroga Lagos, Clara; Rodríguez Villarroel, Andrea Elizabeth; Verdejo, Hugo; Ferreira Parker, Jorge; Iglewski, Miriam; Chiong Lay, Mario; Simmen, Thomas; Zorzano, Antonio; Hill, Joseph A.; Rothermel, B. A.; Szabadkai, G.; Lavandero González, Sergio (COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2011-07-15)
    • Inhibition of mitochondrial fission prevents hypoxia-induced metabolic shift and cellular proliferation of ... 
      Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Bravo Sagua, Roberto; Norambuena Soto, Ignacio; Hernández Fuentes, Carolina; Gómez Contreras, Andrés; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Mellado, Rosemarie; Chiong Lay, Mario; Lavandero González, Sergio; Castro, Pablo F. (Elsevier, 2017)
      Chronic hypoxia exacerbates proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC), thereby reducing the lumen of pulmonary arteries. This leads to poor blood oxygenation and cardiac work overload, which are the ...
    • Iron induces protection and necrosis in cultured cardiomyocytes: Role of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide 
      Muñoz, Juan Pablo; Chiong Lay, Mario; García Nannig, Lorena; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Toro, Barbra; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Díaz Elizondo, Jessica; Salas, Daniela; Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Núñez González, Marco; Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia; Lavandero González, Sergio (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010-02-15)
      We investigate here the role of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide in iron-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy or cell death Cultured rat cardiomyocytes incubated with 20 mu M iron (added as FeCl3-Na nitrilotriacetate, ...
    • mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin and ER stressor tunicamycin induce differential patterns of ER-mitochondria coupling 
      Bravo Sagua, Roberto; López Crisosto, Camila; Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Rodríguez Peña, Marcelo; Rothermel, Beverly A.; Quest, Andrew F. G.; Lavandero González, Sergio (Nature, 2016)
      Efficient mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake takes place at contact points between the ER and mitochondria, and represents a key regulator of many cell functions. In a previous study with HeLa cells, we showed that ER-to-mitochondria ...
    • 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 ...
