Fibronectin rescues estrogen receptor α from lysosomal degradation in breast cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Estrogen receptor α (ERα) is expressed in tissues as diverse as brains and mammary glands. In breast cancer, ERα is a key regulator of tumor progression.

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 ...

Caveolin as a Potential Drug Target for Cardiovascular Protection

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
Caveolae and caveolin are key players in a number of disease processes. Current research indicates that caveolins play a significant role in cardiovascular disease and dysfunction.

Altered splicing of the BIN1 muscle-specific exon in humans and dogs with highly progressive centronuclear myopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Amphiphysin 2, encoded by BIN1, is a key factor for membrane sensing and remodelling in different cell types. Homozygous BIN1 mutations in ubiquitously expressed exons are associated with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a mildly ...

Synapsin-Promoted Caveolin-1 Overexpression Maintains Mitochondrial Morphology and Function in PSAPP Alzheimer’s Disease Mice

open access: yesCells, 2021
Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathology. Disrupted mitochondrial dynamics (i.e., fusion/fission balance), which are essential for normal mitochondria structure and function, are documented in AD.

Hepatitis B virus X protein suppresses caveolin-1 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating DNA methylation

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2012
Background To understand the molecular mechanisms of caveolin-1 downregulation by hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx). Methods The DNA methylation status of the caveolin-1 promoter was examined by nested methylation-specific PCR of 33 hepatitis B virus ...

Evaluating caveolin interactions: do proteins interact with the caveolin scaffolding domain through a widespread aromatic residue-rich motif? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Caveolins are coat proteins of caveolae, small flask-shaped pits of the plasma membranes of most cells. Aside from roles in caveolae formation, caveolins recruit, retain and regulate many caveolae-associated signalling molecules.

Caveolin-3 and Caveolin-1 Interaction Decreases Channel Dysfunction Due to Caveolin-3 Mutations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences
Caveolae constitute membrane microdomains where receptors and ion channels functionally interact. Caveolin-3 (cav-3) is the key structural component of muscular caveolae. Mutations in CAV3 lead to caveolinopathies, which result in both muscular dystrophies and cardiac diseases. In cardiomyocytes, cav-1 participates with cav-3 to form caveolae; skeletal

Caveolin-1 expression in hyperproliferative skin disorders: A potential predictive marker of disease severity and progression

open access: yesDermatologica Sinica, 2018
Background: Caveolin-1 (CAV-1) is a key structural and functional membrane protein that is thought to play a role in controlling cellular proliferation and differentiation. Objective: To study the immunohistochemical expression of caveolin-1 in psoriasis

The caveolin-1 scaffolding domain peptide decreases phosphatidylglycerol levels and inhibits calcium-induced differentiation in mouse keratinocytes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Phospholipase D2 (PLD2) has been found localized in low-density caveolin-rich membrane microdomains. Our previous study suggested that PLD2 and aquaporin 3 (AQP3) interact in these domains to inhibit keratinocyte proliferation and promote differentiation
