The purpose of this study is to understand the interaction of Na + -Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1), that is one of the essential regulators of Ca2+ homeostasis, with caveolin (Cav)-1 and Cav-2 in Cav-3 null cell (rat C6 glioma cell). Both mRNA and protein expression of NCX1, Cav-1 and Cav-2 was observed, but no expression of mRNA and protein of Cav-3 were observed in C6 glioma cells. In isolated caveolae-enriched membrane fraction, the NCX1, Cav-1 and Cav-2 proteins localized in same fractions. The experiment of immuno-precipitation showed complex formation between the NCX1 and Cavs. Confocal microscopy also supported co-localization of NCX1and Cavs at the plasma membrane. Functionally, sodium-free induced forward mode of NCX1 attenuated by Cav-1 antisense ODN. When treated cells with Cav-2 antisense ODN, both reverse and forward mode of NCX1 was attenuated. From these results, in the Cav-3 lacking cells, the function of NCX1 might be regulated by binding with Cavs. Considering the decrement of NCX1 activity by antisense ODNs, caveolins may play an important role in diverse of pathophysiological process of NCX1-related disorders in the body.

Frequency of screening for cardiac allograft vasculopathy: warranty period of initial low risk positron emission tomography.

Section of Cardiovascular Imaging, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Institute, Cleveland Clinic, 9500 Euclid Avenue, J1-5 Main Campus, Cleveland, OH 44195, USA.
Aims: The short-term risk of moderate-severe cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) after a low-risk positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is unknown, and therefore, there is no guidance on how frequently to perform screening. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of progression to moderate-severe CAV as part of an annual screening programme.
Methods And Results: Patients with no history of CAV 2/3 and a low-risk result on initial screening PET/CT (CAV 0/1) were enrolled in the study.
Role of Caveolae family-related proteins in the development of breast cancer.

Breast cancer has become the most significant malignant tumor threatening women's lives. Caveolae are concave pits formed by invagination of the plasma membrane that participate in many biological functions of the cell membrane, such as endocytosis, cell membrane assembly, and signal transduction. In recent years, Caveolae family-related proteins have been found to be closely related to the occurrence and development of breast cancer.

Background: The impact of donor transmitted atherosclerosis as assessed by intravascular ultrasound on development and progression of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) after heart transplantation (HT) remains poorly defined in contemporary practice. In this exploratory analysis, we sought to assess the prognostic role of early qualitative assessment of donor artery morphology using optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a more sensitive imaging modality.
Methods: HT recipients were prospectively enrolled for baseline OCT imaging of the left anterior descending coronary artery.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) plays a major public health in Egyptian woman. In Upper Egypt, there is an increase in incidence of BC compared to other Egyptian areas. Triple-negative BC, estrogen receptor (ER)-negative, progesterone receptor (PR)-negative, and HER2-neu-negative, is a high-risk BC that lacks the benefit of specific therapy that targets these proteins.

Objective: We hypothesized that keratouveitis still occurs despite current widespread use of Canine adenovirus (CAV)-2 vaccinations and assessed the utility of CAV-1 and CAV-2 titers in elucidation of its etiopathogenesis.
Animals Studied: Nine dogs with unexplained keratouveitis (14 eyes) and nine control dogs.
Procedures: The Animal Health Trust clinical database was searched between 2008 and 2018 to identify cases of keratouveitis.
