Hypoxia Inhibits Cavin-1 and Cavin-2 Expression and Down-Regulates Caveolae in Adipocytes [PDF]
AbstractDuring obesity, a hypoxic state develops within the adipose tissue, resulting in insulin resistance. To understand the underlying mechanism, we analyzed the involvement of caveolae because they play a crucial role in the activation of insulin receptors.

Arterial dysfunction but maintained systemic blood pressure in cavin-1-deficient mice. [PDF]
Caveolae are omega-shaped plasma membrane micro-domains that are abundant in cells of the vascular system. Formation of caveolae depends on caveolin-1 and cavin-1 and lack of either protein leads to loss of caveolae.

Fatal cardiac arrhythmia and long-QT syndrome in a new form of congenital generalized lipodystrophy with muscle rippling (CGL4) due to PTRF-CAVIN mutations. [PDF]
We investigated eight families with a novel subtype of congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL4) of whom five members had died from sudden cardiac death during their teenage years. ECG studies revealed features of long-QT syndrome, bradycardia, as well

Caveolins/caveolae protect adipocytes from fatty acid-mediated lipotoxicity [PDF]
Mice and humans lacking functional caveolae are dyslipidemic and have reduced fat stores and smaller fat cells. To test the role of caveolins/caveolae in maintaining lipid stores and adipocyte integrity, we compared lipolysis in caveolin-1 (Cav1)-null ...

PTRF/Cavin-1 Deficiency Causes Cardiac Dysfunction Accompanied by Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy and Cardiac Fibrosis. [PDF]
Mutations in the PTRF/Cavin-1 gene cause congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 4 (CGL4) associated with myopathy. Additionally, long-QT syndrome and fatal cardiac arrhythmia are observed in patients with CGL4 who have homozygous PTRF/Cavin-1 ...

Immune Priming and the Risk of COVID-19, Influenza, and Other Acute Respiratory Infections: Insights From an N3C Cohort. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The emergence of SARS‐CoV‐2 and introduction of COVID‐19 vaccines into immunologically naïve populations may alter the dynamics of other acute viral respiratory infections (viral ARIs) and vice versa. Competing forces, including viral interference, cross‐reactive immunity, shared susceptibility, and immune dysregulation, may affect ...

SDPR/Cavin-2 loss inhibits monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells in abdominal aortic aneurysm via suppressing the expression of adhesion molecules [PDF]
Abstract Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common and life-threatening vascular disease. The initial phase of AAA progression is vascular inflammation. Inflammation sites present adhesion molecules, such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intracellular cell adhesion ...

Phosphocaveolin-1 is a mechanotransducer that induces caveola biogenesis via Egr1 transcriptional regulation [PDF]
Caveolin-1 (Cav1) is an essential component of caveolae whose Src kinase-dependent phosphorylation on tyrosine 14 (Y14) is associated with regulation of focal adhesion dynamics.

Mechanisms of vascular smooth muscle contraction and the basis for pharmacologic treatment of smooth muscle disorders [PDF]
The smooth muscle cell directly drives the contraction of the vascular wall and hence regulates the size of the blood vessel lumen. We review here the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which agonists, therapeutics, and diseases ...

Evaluation of the dystrophin carboxy-terminal domain for micro-dystrophin gene therapy in cardiac and skeletal muscles in the DMDmdx rat model [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscle wasting disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin. Gene therapy using micro-dystrophin (MD) transgenes and recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors hold great promise.
