Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia; Carrasco, M. Angélica; Muñoz, Pablo; Núñez González, Marco (2007)A great body of experimental evidence collected over many years indicates that calcium has a central role in a variety of neuronal functions. In particular, calcium participates in synaptic plasticity, a neuronal process ...

García Beltrán, Olimpo; Mena, Natalia; Berríos, Tania A.; Castro, Enrique A.; Cassels Niven, Bruce; Núñez González, Marco; Aliaga, Margarita E. (2012)In this Letter we present a new probe, 2-amino-3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl) propyl 2-(7-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)acetate (PMR), which can reversibly detect mercuric ions (Hg 2+) in HEPES buffer under physiological ...

Núñez Millacura, Claudia; Tapia, Victoria; Muñoz, Patricia; Maccioni Baraona, Ricardo; Núñez González, Marco (2002)Intracellular reactive iron is a source of free radicals and a possible cause of cell damage. In this study, we analyzed the changes in iron homeostasis generated by iron accumulation in neuroblastoma (N2A) cells and ...

Aguirre, Pabla; Mena, Natalia P.; Tapia, Victoria; Rojas, Alejandro; Arredondo Olguín, Miguel Armando; Núñez González, Marco (2006)Brain cells have a highly active oxidative metabolism, yet they contain only low to moderate superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Thus, their antioxidant defenses rely mainly on cellular reduced glutathione levels. ...

Ezquer, Fernando; Núñez González, Marco; Israel Jacard, Yedy (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2005-06-01)Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a condition in which intestinal iron absorption is greatly elevated. Present treatment is weekly phlebotomy, affecting quality of life and leading to recurrent infections. The iron ...

Arredondo, Miguel; Tapia, Victoria; Rojas, Alejandro; Aguirre, Pabla; Reyes, Francisca; Marzolo, Maria Paz; Núñez González, Marco (2006)Mutations in the HFE gene result in hereditary hemochromatosis, a disorder of iron metabolism characterized by increased intestinal iron absorption. Based on the observation that ectopic expression of HFE strongly inhibits ...

Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia; Núñez González, Marco (2007)Calcium and iron play dual roles in neuronal function: they are both essential but when present in excess they cause neuronal damage and may even induce neuronal death. Calcium signals are required for synaptic plasticity, ...

Urrutia, Pamela J.; Aguirre, Pabla; Tapia, Victoria; Carrasco, Carlos M.; Mena, Natalia P.; Núñez González, Marco (Elsevier, 2017)Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage, often accompanied by elevated intracellular iron levels, are pathophysiological features in a number of neurodegenerative processes. The question arises as to whether ...

Mazariegos, Dora Inés; Cabantchik, Z. Ioav; Cassels Niven, Bruce; Núñez González, Marco (2006)There is increasing evidence that accumulation of redox-active iron in mitochondria leads to oxidative damage and contributes to various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Friedreich’s ataxia and Parkinson’s disease. ...
