Sepulveda D, Cabeza Meckert P, Locatelli P, Olea F, Perez N, Pinilla O, et al.
Cytotechnology . 2014 Nov; 68(4):665-74. PMID: 25432330
The adult heart contains a population of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). Growing and collecting an adequate number of CPCs demands complex culture media containing growth factors. Since activated macrophages secrete...

Yeves A, Villa-Abrille M, Perez N, Medina A, Escudero E, Ennis I
J Mol Cell Cardiol . 2014 Sep; 76:186-95. PMID: 25240639
Background: The involvement of NHE-1 hyperactivity, critical for pathological cardiac hypertrophy (CH), in physiological CH has not been elucidated yet. Stimulation of NHE-1 increases intracellular Na(+) and Ca(2+) favouring calcineurin...

Diaz R, Perez N, Morgan P, Villa-Abrille M, Caldiz C, Nolly M, et al.
Hypertension . 2013 Oct; 63(1):112-8. PMID: 24126173
Myocardial stretch triggers an angiotensin II-dependent autocrine/paracrine loop of intracellular signals, leading to reactive oxygen species-mediated activation of redox-sensitive kinases. Based on pharmacological strategies, we previously proposed that mineralocorticoid receptor...

Ennis I, Aiello E, Cingolani H, Perez N
Curr Cardiol Rev . 2013 Aug; 9(3):230-40. PMID: 23909633
The stretch of cardiac muscle increases developed force in two phases. The first phase, which occurs rapidly, constitutes the well-known Frank-Starling mechanism and it is generally attributed to enhanced myofilament...

Vargas L, Diaz R, Swenson E, Perez N, Alvarez B
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol . 2013 May; 305(2):H228-37. PMID: 23709596
Myocardial stretch is an established signal that leads to hypertrophy. Myocardial stretch induces a first immediate force increase followed by a slow force response (SFR), which is a consequence of...

Cingolani H, Perez N, Cingolani O, Ennis I
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol . 2012 Nov; 304(2):H175-82. PMID: 23161880
Myocardial stretch elicits a rapid increase in developed force, which is mainly caused by an increase in myofilament calcium sensitivity (Frank-Starling mechanism). Over the ensuing 10-15 min, a second gradual...

Caldiz C, Diaz R, Nolly M, de Cingolani G, Ennis I, Cingolani H, et al.
J Physiol . 2011 Dec; 589(Pt 24):6051-61. PMID: 22174146
The increase in myocardial reactive oxygen species after epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation is a crucial step in the autocrine/paracrine angiotensin II/endothelin receptor activation leading to the slow force response...

Cingolani O, Perez N, Ennis I, Alvarez M, Mosca S, Schinella G, et al.
Pflugers Arch . 2011 Aug; 462(5):733-43. PMID: 21870055
Growing in vitro evidence suggests NHE-1, a known target for reactive oxygen species (ROS), as a key mediator in cardiac hypertrophy (CH). Moreover, NHE-1 inhibition was shown effective in preventing...

Perez N, Nolly M, Roldan M, Villa-Abrille M, Cingolani E, Portiansky E, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2011 Jun; 111(3):874-80. PMID: 21659487
Myocardial stretch induces a biphasic force response: a first abrupt increase followed by a slow force response (SFR), believed to be the in vitro manifestation of the Anrep effect. The...

Morgan P, Correa M, Ennis I, Ennis I, Diez A, Perez N, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2011 May; 111(2):566-72. PMID: 21596922
Cardiac Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE1) hyperactivity is a central factor in cardiac remodeling following hypertension, myocardial infarction, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and heart failure. Treatment of these pathologies by inhibiting NHE1 is challenging...
