The AACR Annual Meeting is the focal point of the cancer research community, where scientists, clinicians, other health care professionals, survivors, patients, and advocates gather to share the latest advances in cancer science and medicine. From population science and prevention; to cancer biology, translational, and clinical studies; to survivorship and advocacy; the AACR Annual Meeting highlights the work of the best minds in cancer research from institutions all over the world.
Blood vessel development in vertebrates starts early during embryogenesis with the de novo formation of blood vessels through the process of vasculogenesis. During vasculogenesis, endothelial progenitor cells coalesce into tubular structures. Pericytes and smooth muscle cells then surround these tubes to form functioning blood vessels. Myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) transcription factors have been shown to play a critical role in the differentiation of cardiac and skeletal muscle. MEF2C is also expressed in several other cell types, including smooth muscle and endothelial cells, yet little is known about the transcriptional pathways in which MEF2C participates, particularly during vascular...

Although we did not observe any significant defects in calcium handling in the hearts of HRC null mice, expression of the cardiac isoform of triadin (triadin 1) was upregulated in these hearts to compensate for the loss of HRCBP. These observations suggest that HRCBP may indirectly modulate inactivation of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) in response to changes in the luminal calcium concentration. Specifically, HRCBP may antagonize the inhibitory effect of calsequestrin on the ability of triadin to stabilize the open conformation of the RyR as luminal calcium stores are depleted.
