Sánchez, Gina; Berrios, Daniela; Olmedo, Ivonne; Pezoa, Javier; Riquelme, Jaime A.; Montecinos, Luis; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Donoso Laurent, Paulina (Public Library Science, 2016)Inhibitors of the ubiquitin-proteasome system improve hemodynamic parameters and decrease the infarct size after ischemia reperfusion. The molecular basis of this protection is not fully understood since most available ...

Ferrero, Paola; Said, Matilde; Sánchez, Gina; Vittone, Leticia; Valverde, Carlos; Donoso Laurent, Paulina; Mattiazzi, Alicia; Mundiña-Weilenmann, Cecilia (2007)We aimed to define the relative contribution of both PKA and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) cascades to the phosphorylation of RyR2 and the activity of the channel during β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) ...

Kamp, Frits; Donoso Laurent, Paulina; Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia (Biophysical Society, 1998)Fast (milliseconds) Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum is an essential step in muscle contraction. To electrically compensate the charge deficit generated by calcium release, concomitant fluxes of other ions are ...
-
Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia; Donoso Laurent, Paulina (2008)Studies done many years ago established unequivocally the key role of calcium as a universal second messenger. In contrast, the second messenger roles of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species have emerged only recently. ...

Domenech Lira, Raúl; Sánchez, Gina; Donoso Laurent, Paulina; Parra Morales, Víctor; Macho Fisher, Pilar (ACADEMIC PRESS LTD ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2003-12)We have previously demonstrated that brief episodes of tachycardia prior to a prolonged occlusion of a coronary artery, followed by reperfusion, substantially reduce the infarct size. Adenosine receptors and mitochondrial ...

Sánchez Vergara, Gina; Chalmers, Stefanie; Ahumada, Xavier; Montecinos, Luis; Olmedo Alegría, Ivonne Odette; Eisner, Verónica; Riveros, Ana; Kogan, Marcelo J.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Donoso Laurent, Paulina (Public Library Science, 2020)The heart is critically dependent on mitochondrial respiration for energy supply. Ischemia decreases oxygen availability, with catastrophic consequences for cellular energy systems. After a few minutes of ischemia, the ...

Olmedo Alegría, Ivonne; Pino Tapia, Gonzalo; Riquelme Meléndez, Jaime; Aranguiz, Pablo; Díaz, Magda C.; López Crisosto, Camila; Lavandero González, Sergio; Donoso Laurent, Paulina; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Sánchez Vergara, Gina (Elsevier, 2020)Cardiomyocyte loss is the main cause of myocardial dysfunction following an ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Mitochondrial dysfunction and altered mitochondrial network dynamics play central roles in cardiomyocyte death. ...

Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique; Donoso Laurent, Paulina; Liberona Leppe, José; Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia (Elsevier, 1986)The presence of four cation pathways in membrane vesicles isolated from transverse tubules of frog and rabbit skeletal muscle was studied by measuring binding of specific blockers. Transverse tubules purified from frog ...
-
Sánchez, Gina; Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia; Donoso Laurent, Paulina (Biophysical Society, 2003)Fast Ca2+ release kinetics were measured in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles actively loaded with Ca2+. Release was induced in solutions containing 1.2 mM free ATP and variable free [Ca2+] and [Mg2+]. Release rate ...
-
Donoso Laurent, Paulina; Beltrán, Marianela; Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia (1996)Calcium binding to triads isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle followed a single hyperbolic function in the pH range 5.5-8.0. Maximal binding was obtained at pH 8.0; decreasing the pH decreased the binding capacity and, ...

Sánchez, Gina; Fernández, Carolina; Montecinos, Luis; Domenech Lira, Raúl; Donoso Laurent, Paulina (2011)Cardioprotection by preconditioning is a central issue of current research on heart function. Several reports indicate that preventing the assembly and opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) ...
