"Alternative" endocytic mechanisms exploited by pathogens: new avenues for therapeutic delivery? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Some pathogens utilize unique routes to enter cells that may evade the intracellular barriers encountered by the typical clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway.

Mutational analysis of caveolin‐induced vesicle formation [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1998
Caveolae are vesicular organelles with a characteristic uniform diameter in the range of 50–100 nm. Although recombinant expression of caveolin‐1 is sufficient to drive caveolae formation, it remains unknown what controls the uniform diameter of these organelles.

Caveolin-1 expression in different types of psoriatic lesions: Analysis of 66 cases

open access: yesIndian Journal of Dermatology, 2014
Background: Caveolin-1 is a key structural and functional protein. Caveolin-1 is known to modulate multiple signal-transducing pathways involved in cell differentiation and proliferation. Psoriasis is viewed as a multifactorial pathology characterized by

Membrane Compartmentalization and Scaffold Proteins in Leukocyte Migration

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Leukocyte migration across vessels into and within peripheral and lymphoid tissues is essential for host defense against invading pathogens. Leukocytes are specialized in sensing a variety of guidance cues and to integrate environmental stimuli to ...

Measurement of caveolin-1 densities in the cell membrane for quantification of caveolar deformation after exposure to hypotonic membrane tension

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Caveolae are abundant flask-shaped invaginations of plasma membranes that buffer membrane tension through their deformation. Few quantitative studies on the deformation of caveolae have been reported.

Caveolin-1 deficiency induces a MEK-ERK1/2-Snail-1-dependent epithelial-mesenchymal transition and fibrosis during peritoneal dialysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a form of renal replacement therapy whose repeated use can alter dialytic function through induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and fibrosis, eventually leading to PD discontinuation. The peritoneum from Cav1-/-

Caveolin 1 expression favors tumor growth and is associated with poor survival in primary lung adenocarcinomas

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2017
Despite the consolidated clinico-pathological correlates of Caveolin 1 expression in non–small cell lung cancer, the available data on the role of Caveolin 1 in relation to proliferation, migration, and metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma cells is still ...

Phenotypic characterization of human prostatic stromal cells in primary cultures derived from human tissue samples [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Emerging evidence has shown that the tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression. However, the mechanism(s) through which stromal cells regulate epithelial cells and the differences among prostatic ...

Role of cellular senescence and NOX4-mediated oxidative stress in systemic sclerosis pathogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by progressive fibrosis of skin and numerous internal organs and a severe fibroproliferative vasculopathy resulting frequently in severe disability and high mortality.

Getting rid of caveolins: Phenotypes of caveolin-deficient animals

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2005
The elucidation of the role of caveolae has been the topic of many investigations which were greatly enhanced after the discovery of caveolin, the protein marker of these flask-shaped plasma membrane invaginations. The generation of mice deficient in the various caveolin genes (cav-1, cav-2 and cav-3) has provided physiological models to unravel the ...
