    • Cardiomyocyte ryanodine receptor degradation by chaperone-mediated autophagy 
      Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Torrealba, Natalia; Fernández, Carolina; Gatica, Damián; Toro, Barbra; Quiroga, Clara; Rodríguez, Andrea E.; Sánchez, Gina; Gillette, Thomas G.; Hill, Joseph A.; Donoso Laurent, Paulina; Lavandero González, Sergio (the European Society of Cardiology, 2013)
      Aims Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a selective mechanism for the degradation of soluble cytosolic proteins bearing the sequence KFERQ. These proteins are targeted by chaperones and delivered to lysosomes where ...
    • Hyperosmotic stress activates p65/RelB NF kappa B in cultured cardiomyocytes with dichotomic actions on ... 
      Eisner, Verónica; Quiroga, Clara; Criollo Céspedes, Alfredo; Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Chiong Lay, Mario; Parra, Valentina; Hidalgo, Karla; Toro, Barbra; Díaz Araya, Guillermo; Lavandero González, Sergio (ELSEVIER, 2006-06-12)
      NF kappa B is a participant in the process whereby cells adapt to stress. We have evaluated the activation of NF kappa B pathway by hyperosmotic stress in cultured cardiomyocytes and its role in the activation of caspase ...
    • An Inositol 1,4,5-Triphosphate (IP3)-IP3 Receptor Pathway Is Required for Insulin-Stimulated Glucose ... 
      Contreras Ferrat, Ariel Eduardo; Toro, Barbra; Bravo, R.; Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Vásquez, C.; Ibarra, Cristián; Mears, David; Chiong Lay, Mario; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique; Klip, Amira; Lavandero González, Sergio (ENDOCRINE SOC, 2010-10)
      Intracellular calcium levels ([Ca2+](i)) and glucose uptake are central to cardiomyocyte physiology, yet connections between them have not been studied. We investigated whether insulin regulates [Ca2+](i) in cultured ...
    • Iron induces protection and necrosis in cultured cardiomyocytes: Role of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide 
      Muñoz, Juan Pablo; Chiong Lay, Mario; García Nannig, Lorena; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Toro, Barbra; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Díaz Elizondo, Jessica; Salas, Daniela; Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Núñez González, Marco; Hidalgo Tapia, María Cecilia; Lavandero González, Sergio (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010-02-15)
      We investigate here the role of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide in iron-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy or cell death Cultured rat cardiomyocytes incubated with 20 mu M iron (added as FeCl3-Na nitrilotriacetate, ...
    • Regulatory volume decrease in cardiomyocytes is modulated by calcium influx and reactive oxygen species 
      Rojas Rivera, Andrés; Díaz Elizondo, Jessica; Parra Ortíz, María Valentina; Salas, Daniela; Contreras Ferrat, Ariel Eduardo; Toro, Barbra; Chiong Lay, Mario; Olea Azar, Claudio; Lavandero González, Sergio (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009-11-03)
      We investigated the role of Ca2+ in generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by hyposmotic stress (Hypo) and its relationship to regulatory volume decrease (RVD) in cardiomyocytes. Hypo-induced increases in cytoplasmic ...
