Morales, Bernardo; Labarca, Pedro; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (1995)In olfactory neurons from Caudiverbera caudiverbera, a mixture of putrid odorants trigger an inhibitory, K+-selective current and a hyperpolarizing receptor potential. The current-voltage relation resembles that of a ...

Mura, Casilda V.; Delgado Arriagada, Ricardo; Delgado, María Graciela; Restrepo, Diego; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (BIOMED Central Ltd., 2017)Background: CLCA is a family of metalloproteases that regulate Ca2+-activated Cl- fluxes in epithelial tissues. In HEK293 cells, CLCA1 promotes membrane expression of an endogenous Anoctamin 1 (ANO1, also termed ...

Acuna, Mario A.; Pérez Núñez, Ramón Daniel; Noriega, Jorge; Cárdenas, Ana María; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan; Delgado, Ricardo; Barrera Arriagada, Christian Felipe; Segura Aguilar, Juan; Caviedes, Raúl; Caviedes, Pablo (2012)Human Down syndrome (DS) is determined by the trisomy of autosome 21 and is expressed by multiple abnormalities, being mental retardation the most striking feature. The condition results in altered electrical membrane ...

Díaz, Javier; Razeto Barry, Pablo; Letelier Parga, Juan; Caprio, John; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (2007)Neural oscillations, which appear in several areas of the nervous system and cover a wide frequency range, are a prominent issue in current neuroscience. Extracellularly recorded oscillations are generally thought to be a ...

Apoptosis induced by prolonged exposure to odorants in cultured cells from rat olfactory epithelium Brauchi, Sebastián; Cea, Christian; Farías, Jorge G.; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan; Reyes, Juan G. (ELSEVIER, 2006-08-04)Multicellular organisms undergo programmed cell death (PCD) as a mechanism for tissue remodeling during development and tissue renewal throughout adult life. Overdose of some neuronal receptor agonists like glutamate can ...

González Silva, Carolina; Vera, Jorge; Bono Merino, María Rosa; González Billault, Christian; Baxter, Brooke; Hansen, Anne; López, Robert; Gibson, Emily A.; Restrepo, Diego; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (PLoS ONE, 2013)The Ca2+-activated Cl2 channel is considered a key constituent of odor transduction. Odorant binding to a specific receptor in the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) triggers a cAMP cascade that mediates the opening ...
-
Castillo, Karen; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan; Wolff Fernández, José (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2005-03-14)Olfactory cilia contain cyclic nucleotide-gated and Ca2+-dependent Cl- conductances that underlie excitatory chemotransduction, and a Ca2+-dependent K+ (K-Ca) conductance, apparently involved in inhibitory transduction. ...
-
Morales, Bernardo; Madrid, Rodolfo; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (1997)In toad olfactory neurons, a putrid odorant mixture inducing inhibitory responses increases Ca2+-activated K+ conductance, developing a hyperpolarizing receptor potential. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ or exposure to ...
-
Castillo, Karen; Restrepo, Diego; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (2010)Signal transduction depends critically on the spatial localization of protein constituents. A key question in odor transduction is whether chemotransduction proteins organize into discrete molecular complexes throughout ...
-
Delgado, Ricardo; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (2004)It has previously been proposed that a Ca2+-dependent K + conductance is implicated in the inhibitory odourant response in rat and toad olfactory receptor neurons. Previous whole-cell and single-channel measurements on ...

O'Day, Peter M.; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan; Vergara Montecinos, Cecilia; Haab, Joan E. (Humana Press, 1997)Investigation of phototransduction in invertebrate photoreceptors has revealed many physiological and biochemical features of fundamental biological importance. Nonetheless, no complete picture of phototransduction has yet ...

Cyclic AMP cascade mediates the inhibitory odor response of isolated toad olfactory receptor neurons Madrid, Rodolfo; Delgado Arriagada, Ricardo; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL, 2005-09)Odor stimulation may excite or inhibit olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). It is well established that the excitatory response involves a cyclic AMP (cAMP) transduction mechanism that activates a nonselective cationic cyclic ...

Delgado Arriagada, Ricardo; Muñoz, Yorka; Peña Cortés, Hugo; Giavalisco, Patrick; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (Society for Neuroscience, 2014)Drosophila light-dependent channels, TRP and TRPL, reside in the light-sensitive microvilli of the photoreceptor’s rhabdomere. Phospholipase C mediates TRP/TRPL opening, but the gating process remains unknown. Controversial ...

Vera, Jorge; Pezzoli, Mauricio; Pereira, Ulises; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan; Sanhueza Toha, María Magdalena (PLOS One, 2014)The cortical amygdala receives direct olfactory inputs and is thought to participate in processing and learning of biologically relevant olfactory cues. As for other brain structures implicated in learning, the principal ...

Villar, Pablo; Delgado Arriagada, Ricardo; Vergara Montecinos, Cecilia; Reyes, Juan G.; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (Soc Neuroscience, 2017-06-07)The mechanisms that power the physiological events occurring in cilia, flagella, and microvilli are of fundamental importance for the functions of these important and ubicuous organelles. The olfactory epithelium is mostly ...

Excitation, inhibition, and suppression by odors in isolated toad and rat olfactory receptor neurons Sanhueza, Magdalena; Schmachtenberg, Oliver; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (2000)Vertebrate olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) exhibit odor-induced increases in action potential firing rate due to an excitatory cAMP-dependent current. Fish and amphibian ORNs also give inhibitory odor responses, manifested ...
