Abstract
Stem cells have emerged as promising therapeutic options for several human diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis (PF). In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) in the bleomycin-induced PF model rats and the underlying mechanisms. The PF model rats were generated by intratracheal injections of 5 mg/kg bleomycin sulfate. The ADMSC group rats were generated by injecting 2×10(6) ADMSCs via the tail vein at 0, 12, and 24 h after bleomycin injection. The control, PF, and ADMSC group rats were sacrificed on day 21 after bleomycin injections and the changes in lung histology and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, collagen I, and caveolin-1 (Cav-1), and the activity of the NF-kappaB signaling pathway in the lung tissues was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, ELISA, and western blotting assays. The lung tissues of the PF model rats showed significant infiltration of neutrophils, tissue destruction, and collagen deposition, but these effects were abrogated by the ADMSCs. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-1beta, and TGF-beta1 were elevated in the lung tissues and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of the bleomycin-induced PF model rats, but these effects were reversed by the ADMSCs. The lung tissues of the PF model rats showed significant downregulation of Cav-1 and significantly higher activation of the pro-inflammatory NF-kappaB pathway. However, administration of the ADMSCs restored the expression levels of Cav-1 and suppressed the NF-kappaB signaling pathway in the lungs of the bleomycin-induced PF model rats. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the ADMSCs protected against bleomycin-induced PF in the rat model by modulating the Cav-1/NF-kappaB axis.

Abstract
Inhalation of crystalline silica causes silicosis, the most common and serious occupational disease, which is characterized by progressive lung inflammation and fibrosis. Recent studies revealed the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis role of Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in lung, but this role in silicosis has not been investigated. Thus, this study evaluated Cav-1 regulatory effects in silicosis. It was found that Cav-1 levels were significantly reduced in the lung from silicosis patients and silicotic mice. The silicosis models were established in C57BL/6 (wild-type) and Cav-1 deficiency (Cav-1-/- ) mice, and Cav-1-/- mice displayed wider alveolar septa, increased collagen deposition and more silicotic nodules. The mice peritoneal-derived macrophages were used to explore the role of Cav-1 in silica-induced inflammation, which plays a central role in mechanism of silicosis. Cav-1 inhibited silica-induced infiltration of inflammatory cells and secretion of inflammatory factors in vitro and in vivo, partly by downregulating NF-κB pathway. Additionally, silica uptake and expression of 4-hydroxynonenal in silicotic mice were observed, and it was found that Cav-1 absence triggered excessive silica deposition, causing a stronger oxidative stress response. These findings demonstrate the protective effects of Cav-1 in silica-induced lung injury, suggesting its potential therapeutic value in silicosis.

Abstract
In the past, cannabis was commonly associated with mysticism and illegality. Fortunately, in recent years perspectives and discourses have changed. More prominence has been given to the rigorous scientific effort that led to the discovery of cannabis' many physiological actions and endogenous signalling mechanisms. The endocannabinoid system is a complex and heterogeneous pro-homeostatic network comprising different receptors with several endogenous ligands, numerous metabolic enzymes and regulatory proteins. Therefore, it is not surprising that alterations and dysfunctions of the endocannabinoid system are observed in almost every category of disease. Such high degree of pathophysiological involvement suggests the endocannabinoid system is a promising therapeutic target and prompted the translation of resurgent scientific findings into clinical therapies. Shifting attitudes toward cannabis also raised other matters such as increased patient awareness, prescription requests, self-medication, recreational use, recognition of new knowledge gaps, renewed scientific activity, and seemingly exponential growth of the cannabis industry. This review, following a general overview of cannabis and the endocannabinoid system, assiduously describes its role within the context of cardiovascular diseases, paying particular attention to the Janus influence that endocannabinoid system modulators can have on the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels drive the rising phase of the action potential, essential for electrical signalling in nerves and muscles. The Nav channel α-subunit contains the ion-selective pore. In the cardiomyocyte, Nav1.5 is the main Nav channel α-subunit isoform, with a smaller expression of neuronal Nav channels. Four distinct regulatory β-subunits (β1–4) bind to the Nav channel α-subunits. Previous work has emphasised the β-subunits as direct Nav channel gating modulators. However, there is now increasing appreciation of additional roles played by these subunits. In this review, we focus on β-subunits as homophilic and heterophilic cell-adhesion molecules and the implications for cardiomyocyte function. Based on recent cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) data, we suggest that the β-subunits interact with Nav1.5 in a different way from their binding to other Nav channel isoforms. We believe this feature may facilitate trans-cell-adhesion between β1-associated Nav1.5 subunits on the intercalated disc and promote ephaptic conduction between cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Rapid and coordinated release of a variety of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O2.-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and peroxynitrite, in specific microdomains, play a crucial role in cell signalling in the cardiovascular system. These reactions are mediated by reversible and functional modifications of a wide variety of key proteins. Dysregulation of this oxidative signalling occurs in almost all forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including at the very early phases. Despite the heavily publicized failure of "antioxidants" to improve CVD progression, pharmacotherapies such as those targeting the renin-angiotensin system, or statins, exert at least part of their large clinical benefit via modulating cellular redox signalling. Over 250 proteins, including receptors, ion channels and pumps, and signalling proteins are found in the caveolae. An increasing proportion of these are being recognized as redox regulated-proteins, that reside in the immediate vicinity of the two major cellular sources of ROS, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (Nox) and uncoupled endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). This review focuses on what is known about redox signalling within the caveolae, as well as endogenous protective mechanisms utilized by the cell, and new approaches to targeting dysregulated redox signalling in the caveolae as a therapeutic strategy in CVD.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Caveolae, caveolin-1 (Cav-1), and caveolin-3 (Cav-3) are essential for the protective effects of conditioning against myocardial I/R injury. Caveolins are membrane-bound scaffolding proteins that compartmentalize and modulate signal transduction. In this review, we introduce caveolae and caveolins and briefly describe the interactions of caveolins in the cardiovascular diseases. We also review the roles of Cav-1/-3 in protection against myocardial ischemia and I/R injury, and in conditioning. Finally, we suggest several potential research avenues that may be of interest to clinicians and basic scientists. The information included, herein, is potentially useful for the design of future studies and should advance the investigation of caveolins as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Lipid disorder and inflammation play critical roles in the development of atherosclerosis. Reverse cholesterol transport is a key event in lipid metabolism. Caveolae and caveolin-1 are in the center stage of cholesterol transportation and inflammation in macrophages. Here, we propose that reverse cholesterol transport and inflammation in atherosclerosis can be integrated by caveolae and caveolin-1.
