      Disturbance of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis is a common feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) are ER foldases identified as possible ALS biomarkers, as well as ...

      Adaptation to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress depends on the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) stress sensor inositol-requiring enzyme 1α(IRE1α), which functions as an endoribonuclease that splices the ...
    • Marcelain Cubillos, Katherine; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Aguirre, Adam; Ueki, Nobuhide; Toro, Jessica; Colmenares, Clemencia; Hayman, Michael J. (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2012-01)
      Ski is a transcriptional regulator that has been considered an oncoprotein given its ability to induce oncogenic transformation in avian model systems. However, studies in mouse and in some human tumor cells have also ...
    • 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 ...
    • Niechi, Ignacio; Silva, Eduardo; Cabello, Pablo; Huerta, Hernán; Carrasco, Valentina; Villar, Paulina; Cataldo, Luis; Marcelain Cubillos, Katherine; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Varas Godoy, Manuel; Fernández, Cristina; Tapia, Julio (Impact Journals LLC, 2015)
      Endothelin-converting enzyme-1c (ECE-1c) is a membrane metalloprotease involved in endothelin-1 synthesis, which has been shown in vitro to have a role in breast, ovary and prostate cancer cell invasion. N-terminal end of ...
    • Echeverría, César; Montorfano, Ignacio; Hermosilla, Tamara; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Velásquez, Luis A.; Caballero Verrugio, Claudio; Varela Lekanda, Diego; Simón, Felipe (PLOS One, 2014)
      The pathogenesis of systemic inflammatory diseases, including endotoxemia-derived sepsis syndrome, is characterized by endothelial dysfunction. It has been demonstrated that the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces ...
    • Simon, Felipe; Tapia, Pablo; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Echeverría, César; Gatica, Sebastián; Vallejos, Alejandro; Pacheco Durán, Alejandro; Sanhueza Villanueva, María Eugenia; Alvo Abodovsky, Miriam; Segovia, Erico; Torres, Rubén (Frontiers Media, 2017)
      Chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy is equally efficient as hemodialysis while providing greater patient comfort and mobility. Therefore, PD is the treatment of choice for several types of renal patients. During PD, ...
    • Mosquera, Jocelyn; Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Zhao, Hongling; Rojas, Diego A.; Maldonado, Edio; Tapia, Julio C.; Colombo, Alicia; Hayman, Michael J.; Marcelain Cubillos, Katherine (2011)
      Ski is a negative regulator of the transforming growth factor-β and other signalling pathways. The absence of SKI in mouse fibroblasts leads to chromosome segregation defects and genomic instability, suggesting a role for ...
    • Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Sierralta, J.; Vélez, P.; Naranjo, D.; Suárez Isla, Benjamín (1996)
      The bursting behavior of ryanodine-sensitive single Ca2+ release channels present in chicken cerebellum endoplasmic reticulum (ER), rat hippocampus ER, and frog and rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • Armisen Yáñez, Ricardo; Fuentes, Rómulo; Olguín, Patricio; Cabrejos, María E.; Kukuljan Padilla, Manuel (2002)
      The ability of neurons to fire rapid action potential relies on the expression of voltage-gated sodium channels; the onset of the transcription of genes that encode these channels occurs during early neuronal development. ...
