    • 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 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 ...
    • TGF-β1 prevents simulated ischemia/reperfusion-induced cardiac fibroblast apoptosis by activation of both ... 
      Vivar, Raúl; Humeres, Claudio; Ayala, Pedro; Olmedo, Ivonne; Catalán, Mabel; García Nannig, Lorena; Lavandero González, Sergio; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (2013)
      Ischemia/reperfusion injury is a major cause of myocardial death. In the heart, cardiac fibroblasts play a critical role in healing post myocardial infarction. TGF-β1 has shown cardioprotective effects in cardiac damage; ...
