[HTML][HTML] Caveolin-1 null mice are viable but show evidence of hyperproliferative and vascular abnormalities
B Razani, JA Engelman, XB Wang, W Schubert… - Journal of Biological …, 2001 - ASBMB
Caveolin-1 is the principal structural protein of caveolae membranes in fibroblasts and
endothelia. Recently, we have shown that the human CAV-1 gene is localized to a suspected …

Caveolae: from cell biology to animal physiology
B Razani, SE Woodman, MP Lisanti - Pharmacological reviews, 2002 - ASPET
Among the membrane compartments of a cell, vesicles known as “caveolae” have long defied
functional characterization. However, since the identification of a family of proteins termed “…

[PDF][PDF] Autophagy links inflammasomes to atherosclerotic progression
B Razani, C Feng, T Coleman, R Emanuel, H Wen… - Cell metabolism, 2012 - cell.com
We investigated the role of autophagy in atherosclerosis. During plaque formation in mice,
autophagic markers colocalized predominantly with macrophages (mϕ). Atherosclerotic …

Self-renewing resident cardiac macrophages limit adverse remodeling following myocardial infarction
Macrophages promote both injury and repair after myocardial infarction, but discriminating
functions within mixed populations remains challenging. Here we used fate mapping, …

[HTML][HTML] Exploiting macrophage autophagy-lysosomal biogenesis as a therapy for atherosclerosis
Macrophages specialize in removing lipids and debris present in the atherosclerotic plaque.
However, plaque progression renders macrophages unable to degrade exogenous …

[PDF][PDF] The mitochondrial proteins NLRX1 and TUFM form a complex that regulates type I interferon and autophagy
The mitochondrial protein MAVS (also known as IPS-1, VISA, and CARDIF) interacts with
RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) to induce type I interferon (IFN-I). NLRX1 is a mitochondrial …

[PDF][PDF] Embryonic and adult-derived resident cardiac macrophages are maintained through distinct mechanisms at steady state and during inflammation
Cardiac macrophages are crucial for tissue repair after cardiac injury but are not well
characterized. Here we identify four populations of cardiac macrophages. At steady state, resident …

[HTML][HTML] Caveolin-1-deficient mice are lean, resistant to diet-induced obesity, and show hypertriglyceridemia with adipocyte abnormalities
Caveolae organelles and caveolin-1 protein expression are most abundant in adipocytes and
endothelial cells. Our initial report on mice lacking caveolin-1 (Cav-1) demonstrated a loss …
