Journal ArticleDOI
Semaphorin3A induces nerve regeneration in the adult cornea-a switch from its repulsive role in development
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the neuro-regenerative potential of Sema3A on adult peripheral nervous system neurons such as those that innervate the cornea and found that upon cornea injury, there is a fast increase in Semaphorin3A expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recycling of Vitamin C by a Bystander Effect
Francisco Nualart,Coralia I. Rivas,Viviana P. Montecinos,Alejandro Godoy,Victor H. Guaiquil,David W. Golde,Juan Carlos Vera +6 more
TL;DR: In addition to causing increased intracellular concentrations of ascorbic acid with likely associated enhanced antioxidant defense mechanisms, the bystander effect may allow the recycling of vitamin C in vivo, which may contribute to the low daily requirements of the vitamin in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of Vitamin C Inhibition of Cell Death Induced by Oxidative Stress in Glutathione-Depleted HL-60 Cells
TL;DR: The data indicate that vitamin C is an important independent antioxidant in protecting cells against death from oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathological neovascularization is reduced by inactivation of ADAM17 in endothelial cells, but not in pericytes
Gisela Weskamp,Karen Mendelson,Steve Swendeman,Sylvain Le Gall,Yan Ma,Stephen Lyman,Akinari Hinoki,Satoru Eguchi,Victor H. Guaiquil,Keisuke Horiuchi,Keisuke Horiuchi,Carl P. Blobel +11 more
TL;DR: These results provide the first evidence for a role for ADAM17 in pathological neovascularization in vivo and suggest that it could emerge as a good target for treatment of pathological nevascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hexose transporter expression and function in mammalian spermatozoa: Cellular localization and transport of hexoses and vitamin C
Constanza Angulo,María Cecilia Rauch,Andrea Droppelmann,Alejandro M. Reyes,Juan C. Slebe,Fernando Delgado-López,Victor H. Guaiquil,Juan Carlos Vera,Ilona I. Concha +8 more
TL;DR: The data show that human, rat, and bull spermatozoa express several hexose transporter isoforms that allow for the efficient uptake of glucose, fructose, and dehydroascorbic acid by these cells.
