    • Attenuation of endoplasmic reticulum stress using the chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyric acid prevents ... 
      Ayala, Pedro; Montenegro, José; Vivar, Raúl; Letelier, Alan; Urroz, Pablo Aránguiz; Copaja, Miguel; Pivet, Deisy; Humeres, Claudio; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Vicencio, José Miguel; Lavandero González, Sergio; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2012)
      Increasing evidence indicates that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in various diseases. In the human heart, ischemia/reperfusion has been correlated to ER stress, and several markers of the unfolded protein ...
    • Cardiac fibroblast cytokine profiles induced by proinflammatory or profibrotic stimuli promote monocyte ... 
      Humeres, Claudio; Vivar, Raúl; Boza Fuentes, Pía; Muñoz, Claudia; Bolivar, Samir; Anfossi, Renatto; Osorio, Jose Miguel; Olivares Silva, Francisco Javier; García Nannig, Lorena; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (Academic Press, 2016)
      © 2016 Elsevier Ltd Macrophage polarization plays an essential role in cardiac remodeling after injury, evolving from an initial accumulation of proinflammatory M1 macrophages to a greater balance of anti-inflammatory M2 ...
    • Cardiac fibroblast death by ischemia/reperfusion is partially inhibited by IGF-1 through both PI3K/Akt and ... 
      Vivar, Raúl; Humeres, Claudio; Varela, Marcelo; Ayala, Pedro; Guzmán, Nancy; Olmedo, Ivonne; Catalán, Mabel; Boza Fuentes, Pía; Muñoz, Claudia; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2012)
      Cardiac fibroblast (CF) death by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) has major implications for cardiac wound healing. Although IGF-1 has well-known cytoprotective effects, no study has been done on CF subjected to simulated ...
    • Differential regulation of collagen secretion by kinin receptors in cardiac fibroblast and myofibroblast 
      Catalán, Mabel; Smolic, Christian; Contreras, Ariel; Ayala, Pedro; Olmedo, Ivonne; Copaja, Miguel; Boza Fuentes, Pía; Vivar, Raúl; Avalos, Yennifer; Lavandero González, Sergio; Velarde, Victoria; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2012)
      Kinins mediate their cellular effects through B1 (B1R) and B2 (B2R) receptors, and the activation of B2R reduces collagen synthesis in cardiac fibroblasts (CF). However, the question of whether B1R and/or B2R have a role ...
    • EPAC expression and function in cardiac fibroblasts and myofibroblasts 
      Olmedo, Ivonne; Muñoz, Claudia; Guzmán, Nancy; Catalán, Mabel; Vivar, Raúl; Ayala, Pedro; Humeres Martínez, Claudio; Aránguiz, Pablo; García Nannig, Lorena; Velarde, Victoria; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (Elsevier, 2013)
      In the heart, cardiac fibroblasts (CF) and cardiac myofibroblasts (CMF) are the main cells responsible for wound healing after cardiac insult. Exchange protein activated by cAMP (EPAC) is a downstream effector of cAMP, ...
    • Expression and function of TLR4-induced B1R bradykinin receptor on cardiac fibroblasts 
      Muñoz Rodríguez, Claudia Muriel; Fernández, Samuel; Osorio, Jose Miguel; Olivares, Francisco; Anfossi, Renatto; Bolivar, Samir; Humeres, Claudio; Boza Fuentes, Pía; Vivar, Raúl; Pardo Jiménez, Viviana Gladys; Hemmings, Karen E.; Turner, Neil A.; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (Elsevier, 2018)
      Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) are key cells for maintaining extracellular matrix (ECM) protein homeostasis in the heart, and for cardiac repair through CF-to-cardiac myofibroblast (CMF) differentiation. Additionally, CF play ...
    • FoxO1 mediates TGF-beta1-dependent cardiac myofibroblast differentiation 
      Vivar, Raúl; Humeres, Claudio; Muñoz, Claudia; Boza Fuentes, Pía; Bolivar, Samir; Tapia, Felipe; Lavandero González, Sergio; Chiong Lay, Mario; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (Elsevier, 2016)
      © 2015 Elsevier B.V. Cardiac fibroblast differentiation to myofibroblast is a crucial process in the development of cardiac fibrosis and is tightly dependent on transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1). The transcription ...
    • Inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in patients with chronic heart failure Inflamación y disfunción ... 
      Greig, Douglas; Castro, Pablo; Gabrielli, Luigi; Miranda, Rodrigo; Verdejo, Hugo; Alcaíno Gálvez, Hernán Alejandro; Bustos, Carlos; Chiong Lay, Mario; Godoy, Iván; Mellado, Rosemarie; García Nannig, Lorena; Salas, Daniela; Vivar, Raúl; Vukasovic, José Luis; Concepción, Roberto; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2008)
      Background: In chronic heart failure (CHF), endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a consequence of an imbalance of vascular tone regulating substances. The relationship between ED and inflammation has not been fully investigated. ...
    • Simvastatin disrupts cytoskeleton and decreases cardiac fibroblast adhesion, migration and viability 
      Copaja, Miguel; Venegas, Daniel; Aranguiz, Pablo; Canales, Jimena; Vivar, Raúl; Avalos, Yennifer; García Nannig, Lorena; Chiong Lay, Mario; Olmedo, Ivonne; Catalán, Mabel; Leyton Campos, Lisette; Lavandero González, Sergio; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (Elsevier, 2012)
      Statins reduce the isoprenoids farnesyl and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, essential intermediates, which control a diversity of cellular events such as cytoskeleton integrity, adhesion, migration and viability. Cardiac ...
    • Simvastatin induces apoptosis by a Rho-dependent mechanism in cultured cardiac fibroblasts and myofibroblasts 
      Copaja, Miguel; Venegas, Daniel; Aránguiz, Pablo; Canales, Jimena; Vivar, Raúl; Catalán, Mabel; Olmedo, Ivonne; Rodríguez, Andrea E.; Chiong Lay, Mario; Leyton Campos, Lisette; Lavandero González, Sergio; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2011)
      Several clinical trials have shown the beneficial effects of statins in the prevention of coronary heart disease. Additionally, statins promote apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells, in renal tubular epithelial cells ...
