Redox Regulation of Signaling Complex between Caveolin-1 and Neuronal Calcium Sensor Recoverin. Biomolecules 2022; 12:1698. [PMID: 36421712 PMCID: PMC9687869 DOI: 10.3390/biom12111698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Caveolin-1 is a cholesterol-binding scaffold protein, which is localized in detergent-resistant membrane (DRM) rafts and interacts with components of signal transduction systems, including visual cascade. Among these components are neuronal calcium sensors (NCSs), some of which are redox-sensitive proteins that respond to calcium signals by modulating the activity of multiple intracellular targets. Here, we report that the formation of the caveolin-1 complex with recoverin, a photoreceptor NCS serving as the membrane-binding regulator of rhodopsin kinase (GRK1), is a redox-dependent process. Biochemical and biophysical in vitro experiments revealed a two-fold decreased affinity of recoverin to caveolin-1 mutant Y14E mimicking its oxidative stress-induced phosphorylation of the scaffold protein. At the same time, wild-type caveolin-1 demonstrated a 5-10-fold increased affinity to disulfide dimer of recoverin (dRec) or its thiol oxidation mimicking the C39D mutant. The formation of dRec in vitro was not affected by caveolin-1 but was significantly potentiated by zinc, the well-known mediator of redox homeostasis. In the MDCK cell model, oxidative stress indeed triggered Y14 phosphorylation of caveolin-1 and disulfide dimerization of recoverin. Notably, oxidative conditions promoted the accumulation of phosphorylated caveolin-1 in the plasma membrane and the recruitment of recoverin to the same sites. Co-localization of these proteins was preserved upon depletion of intracellular calcium, i.e., under conditions reducing membrane affinity of recoverin but favoring its interaction with caveolin-1. Taken together, these data suggest redox regulation of the signaling complex between recoverin and caveolin-1. During oxidative stress, the high-affinity interaction of thiol-oxidized recoverin with caveolin-1/DRMs may disturb the light-induced translocation of the former within photoreceptors and affect rhodopsin desensitization.

Abstract
An overview of Prof. Viswanathan Natarajan's journey in academia as a mentor, teacher, and lipid scientist for nearly 50 years is presented. As a graduate student, Dr. Natarajan interrogated biosynthesis and catabolism of phospholipids in the developing brain; however, in the last five decades, he has been investigating the role of sphingolipids and sphingolipid-metabolizing enzymes in pulmonary endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and fibroblasts under normal conditions and during various lung pathologies such as sepsis, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and lung cancer. His recent work on sphingosine-1-phosphate and lysophosphatidic acid metabolism in pre-clinical animal models has identified small molecule inhibitors in the signaling pathways that could have therapeutic potential in ameliorating pulmonary fibrosis, hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension, lung cancer, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Future research in bioactive lipids in combination with OMICS should unravel the importance of various lipid mediators as modulators of cell function under normal and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Clinical and experimental evidence indicate that increased vascular permeability contributes to many disease-associated vascular complications. Oxidative stress with increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in a wide variety of pathological conditions, including inflammation and many cardiovascular diseases. It is thus important to identify the role of ROS and their mechanistic significance in microvessel barrier dysfunction under pathological conditions. The role of specific ROS and their cross talk in pathological processes is complex. The mechanisms of ROS-induced increases in vascular permeability remain poorly understood. The sources of ROS in diseases have been extensively reviewed at enzyme levels. This review will instead focus on the underlying mechanisms of ROS release by leukocytes, the differentiate effects and signaling mechanisms of individual ROS on endothelial cells, pericytes and microvessel barrier function, as well as the interplay of reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, and nitrogen species in ROS-mediated vascular barrier dysfunction. As a counter balance of excessive ROS, nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), a redox-sensitive cell-protective transcription factor, will be highlighted as a potential therapeutic target for antioxidant defenses. The advantages and limitations of different experimental approaches used for the study of ROS-induced endothelial barrier function are also discussed. This article will outline the advances emerged mainly from in vivo and ex vivo studies and attempt to consolidate some of the opposing views in the field, and hence provide a better understanding of ROS-mediated microvessel barrier dysfunction and benefit the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 is a scaffold protein on the cell membrane. As the main component of caveolae, caveolin-1 is involved in many biological processes that include substance uptake and transmembrane signaling. Many of these processes and thus caveolin-1 contribute to cell transformation, tumorigenesis, and metastasis. Of particular interest are the dual rolesof tumor suppressor and oncogene that caveolin-1 appear to play in different malignancies, including pancreatic cancer. Therefore, analyzing caveolin-1 regulators and understanding their mechanisms of actionis key to identifying novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools for pancreatic cancer. This review details the mechanisms of action of caveolin-1 regulators and the potential significance for pancreatic cancer treatment.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder featuring chromosomal instability, developmental defects, progressive bone marrow failure, and predisposition to cancer. Besides the predominant role in DNA damage response and/or repair, many studies have linked FA proteins to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress, defined as imbalance in pro-oxidant and antioxidant homeostasis, has been considered to contribute to disease development, including FA. RECENT ADVANCES A variety of signaling pathways may be influenced by oxidative stress, particularly the equilibrium between protein kinases and phosphatases, consequently leading to an aberrant phosphorylation state of cellular proteins. Dysfunction of kinases/phosphatases has been implicated in the pathophysiology of human diseases. In FA, evidence is emerging that links abnormal phosphorylation/de-phosphorylation of signaling molecules to clinical complications and malformations. CRITICAL ISSUES In this study, we review the recent findings on the oxidative stress-related kinases and phosphatases, particularly tyrosine phosphatases in FA. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Understanding the role of oxidative stress-related kinases and phosphatases in FA may provide unique and generic possibilities for the future development of therapeutic strategies by targeting the dysregulated protein kinases and phosphatases in a clinical setting.

Abstract
The single-layered gut epithelium represents the primary line of defense against environmental stressors; thereby monolayer integrity and tightness are essentially required to maintain gut health and function. To date only a few plant-derived phytochemicals have been described as affecting intestinal barrier function. We investigated the impact of 28 secondary plant compounds on the barrier function of intestinal epithelial CaCo-2/TC-7 cells via transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurements. Apart from genistein, the compounds that had the biggest effect in the TEER measurements were biochanin A and prunetin. These isoflavones improved barrier tightness by 36 and 60%, respectively, compared to the untreated control. Furthermore, both isoflavones significantly attenuated TNFα-dependent barrier disruption, thereby maintaining a high barrier resistance comparable to nonstressed cells. In docking analyses exploring the putative interaction with the tyrosine kinase EGFR, these novel modulators of barrier tightness showed very similar values compared to the known tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein. Both biochanin A and prunetin were also identified as potent reducers of NF-κB and ERK activation, zonula occludens 1 tyrosine phosphorylation, and metalloproteinase-mediated shedding activity, which may account for the barrier-improving ability of these isoflavones.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate diverse cellular functions by triggering signal transduction events, such as Src and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. Here, we report the role of caveolin-1 and Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP-2) in H2O2-induced signaling pathway in brain astrocytes. H2O2-mediated oxidative stress induced phosphorylation of caveolin-1 and association between p-caveolin-1 and SHP-2. SHP-2 specifically bound to wild-type caveolin-1 similarly to c-Src tyrosine kinase (CSK), but not to phosphorylation-deficient mutant of caveolin-1 (Y14A), and interfered with complex formation between caveolin-1 and CSK. In the presence of CSK siRNA, binding between caveolin-1 and SHP-2 was enhanced by H2O2 treatment, which led to reduced Src phosphorylation at tyrosine (Tyr) 530 and enhanced Src phosphorylation at Tyr 419. In contrast, siRNA targeting of SHP-2 facilitated H2O2-mediated interaction between caveolin-1 and CSK and enhanced Src phosphorylation at Tyr 530, leading to subsequent decrease in Src downstream signaling, such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK). Our results collectively indicate that SHP-2 alters Src kinase activity by interfering with the complex formation between CSK and phosphotyrosine caveolin-1 in the presence of H2O2, thus functions as a positive regulator in Src signaling under oxidative stress in brain astrocytes.

Phosphorylation status of 72 kDa MMP-2 determines its structure and activity in response to peroxynitrite. PLoS One 2013; 8:e71794.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a key intra- and extra-cellular protease which contributes to several oxidative stress related pathologies. A molecular understanding of 72 kDa MMP-2 activity, directly mediated by S-glutathiolation of its cysteine residues in the presence of peroxynitrite (ONOO−) and by phosphorylation of its serine and threonine residues, is essential to develop new generation inhibitors of intracellular MMP-2. Within its propeptide and collagen binding domains there is an interesting juxtaposition of predicted phosphorylation sites with nearby cysteine residues which form disulfide bonds. However, the combined effect of these two post-translational modifications on MMP-2 activity has not been studied. The activity of human recombinant 72 kDa MMP-2 (hrMMP-2) following in vitro treatments was measured by troponin I proteolysis assay and a kinetic activity assay using a fluorogenic peptide substrate. ONOO− treatment in the presence of 30 µM glutathione resulted in concentration-dependent changes in MMP-2 activity, with 0.1–1 µM increasing up to twofold and 100 µM attenuating its activity. Dephosphorylation of MMP-2 with alkaline phosphatase markedly increased its activity by sevenfold, either with or without ONOO−. Dephosphorylation of MMP-2 also affected the conformational structure of the enzyme as revealed by circular dichroism studies, suggesting an increase in the proportion of α-helices and a decrease in β-strands compared to the phosphorylated form of MMP-2. These results suggest that ONOO− activation (at low µM) and inactivation (at high µM) of 72 kDa MMP-2, in the presence or absence of glutathione, is also influenced by its phosphorylation status. These insights into the role of post-translational modifications in the structure and activity of 72 kDa MMP-2 will aid in the development of inhibitors specifically targeting intracellular MMP-2.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are currently considered not only harmful byproducts of aerobic respiration but also critical mediators of redox signaling. The molecules and the chemical principles sustaining the network of cellular redox regulated processes are described. Special emphasis is placed on hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), now considered as acting as a second messenger, and on sulfhydryl groups, which are the direct targets of the oxidant signal. Cysteine residues of some proteins, therefore, act as sensors of redox conditions and are oxidized in a reversible reaction. In particular, the formation of sulfenic acid and disulfide, the initial steps of thiol oxidation, are described in detail. The many cell pathways involved in reactive oxygen species formation are reported. Central to redox signaling processes are the glutathione and thioredoxin systems controlling H(2)O(2) levels and, hence, the thiol/disulfide balance. Lastly, some of the most important redox-regulated processes involving specific enzymes and organelles are described. The redox signaling area of research is rapidly expanding, and future work will examine new pathways and clarify their importance in cellular pathophysiology.

Abstract
Vascular growth and remodeling responses entail several complex biochemical, molecular, and cellular responses centered primarily on endothelial cell activation and function. Recent studies reveal that changes in endothelial cell redox status critically influence numerous cellular events that are important for vascular growth under different conditions. It has been known for some time that oxidative stress actively participates in many aspects of angiogenesis and vascular remodeling. Initial studies in this field were largely exploratory with minimal insight into specific molecular mechanisms and how these responses could be regulated. However, it is now clear that intracellular redox mechanisms involving hypoxia, NADPH oxidases (NOX), xanthine oxidase (XO), nitric oxide and its synthases, and intracellular antioxidant defense pathways collectively orchestrate a redox balance system whereby reactive oxygen and nitrogen species integrate cues controlling vascular growth and remodeling. In this review, we discuss key redox regulation pathways that are centrally important for vascular growth in tissue health and disease. Important unresolved questions and issues are also addressed that requires future investigation.

Abstract
The proteoglycan syndecan-2 is a novel ligand for the tyrosine phosphatase receptor CD148, an interaction that stimulates a signaling pathway leading to integrin-mediated cell adhesion. The pathway involves SRC and PI3 kinases and is an example of cell surface receptor cross-talk influencing integrin-mediated cellular processes. Syndecan-2 is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan that has a cell adhesion regulatory domain contained within its extracellular core protein. Cell adhesion to the syndecan-2 extracellular domain (S2ED) is β1 integrin dependent; however, syndecan-2 is not an integrin ligand. Here the protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor CD148 is shown to be a key intermediary in cell adhesion to S2ED, with downstream β1 integrin–mediated adhesion and cytoskeletal organization. We show that S2ED is a novel ligand for CD148 and identify the region proximal to the transmembrane domain of syndecan-2 as the site of interaction with CD148. A mechanism for the transduction of the signal from CD148 to β1 integrins is elucidated requiring Src kinase and potential implication of the C2β isoform of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase. Our data uncover a novel pathway for β1 integrin–mediated adhesion of importance in cellular processes such as angiogenesis and inflammation.

Abstract
Reovirus cell entry is initiated by viral attachment to cell surface glycans and junctional adhesion molecule A. Following receptor engagement, reovirus is internalized into cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis using a process dependent on β1 integrin. Endocytosed virions undergo stepwise disassembly catalyzed by cathepsin proteases, followed by endosomal membrane penetration and delivery of transcriptionally active core particles into the cytoplasm. Cellular factors that mediate reovirus endocytosis are poorly defined. We found that both genistein, a broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and PP2, a specific Src-family kinase inhibitor, diminish reovirus infectivity by blocking a cell entry step. Although neither inhibitor impedes internalization of reovirus virions, both inhibitors target virions to lysosomes. Reovirus colocalizes with Src during cell entry, and reovirus infection induces phosphorylation of Src at the activation residue, tyrosine 416. Diminished Src expression by RNA interference reduces reovirus infectivity, suggesting that Src is required for efficient reovirus entry. Collectively, these data provide evidence that Src kinase is an important mediator of signaling events that regulate the appropriate sorting of reovirus particles in the endocytic pathway for disassembly and cell entry.

Abstract
RATIONALE Oxidants are important signaling molecules known to increase endothelial permeability, although the mechanisms underlying permeability regulation are not clear. OBJECTIVE To define the role of caveolin-1 in the mechanism of oxidant-induced pulmonary vascular hyperpermeability and edema formation. METHODS AND RESULTS Using genetic approaches, we show that phosphorylation of caveolin-1 Tyr14 is required for increased pulmonary microvessel permeability induced by hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Caveolin-1-deficient mice (cav-1(-/-)) were resistant to H(2)O(2)-induced pulmonary vascular albumin hyperpermeability and edema formation. Furthermore, the vascular hyperpermeability response to H(2)O(2) was completely rescued by expression of caveolin-1 in cav-1(-/-) mouse lung microvessels but was not restored by the phosphorylation-defective caveolin-1 mutant. The increase in caveolin-1 phosphorylation induced by H(2)O(2) was dose-dependently coupled to both increased (125)I-albumin transcytosis and decreased transendothelial electric resistance in pulmonary endothelial cells. Phosphorylation of caveolin-1 following H(2)O(2) exposure resulted in the dissociation of vascular endothelial cadherin/beta-catenin complexes and resultant endothelial barrier disruption. CONCLUSIONS Caveolin-1 phosphorylation-dependent signaling plays a crucial role in oxidative stress-induced pulmonary vascular hyperpermeability via transcellular and paracellular pathways. Thus, caveolin-1 phosphorylation may be an important therapeutic target for limiting oxidant-mediated vascular hyperpermeability, protein-rich edema formation, and acute lung injury.

Abstract
Oleuropein and (+)-cycloolivil are natural polyphenolic compounds with a significant radical scavenging activity present in olive tree. We have investigated the antiaggregant effects of oleuropein and (+)-cycloolivil isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of olive tree wood. Oleuropein and (+)-cycloolivil reduced the ability of thrombin to stimulate platelet aggregation. Both compounds reduced thrombin-evoked Ca(2+) release and entry to a similar extent to hydroxytyrosol. This effect was greater in platelets from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus than in controls. Thrombin-, thapsigargin- and 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (TBHQ)-evoked protein tyrosine phosphorylation, which is involved in Ca(2+) signalling and platelet aggregation, is inhibited by oleuropein and (+)-cycloolivil. oleuropein and (+)-cycloolivil are natural oxygen radical scavengers that reduce thrombin-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation, Ca(2+) signalling and platelet aggregation. These observations suggest that oleuropein and (+)-cycloolivil may prevent thrombotic complications associated to platelet hyperaggregability and be the base for the development of antiaggregant therapeutic strategies.

Cinnamtannin B-1 as an antioxidant and platelet aggregation inhibitor. Life Sci 2008; 82:977-82. [PMID: 18433795 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2008.03.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2007] [Revised: 02/19/2008] [Accepted: 03/17/2008] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Cinnamtannin B-1 is a naturally occurring trimeric A-type proanthocyanidin, present in a limited number of plants, which exhibits a large number of cellular actions mostly derived from its antioxidant properties. Cinnamtannin B-1 modulates several biological processes such as changes in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration, endogenous reactive oxygen species generation, protein tyrosine phosphorylation and platelet aggregation. Proanthocyanidins, such as cinnamtannin B-1, have been reported to exert antitumoral activity mediated by a selective proapoptotic action in a number of tumoral cell lines associated with antiapoptotic activity in normal cells. The opposite effects of proanthocyanidins in normal and tumoral cells suggest that these compounds might be the base for therapeutic strategies directed selectively against tumoral cells. In addition, cinnamtannin B-1 shows antithrombotic actions through inhibition, in platelets, of endogenous ROS generation, Ca(2+) mobilization and, subsequently, aggregation. This has been reported to be especially relevant in platelets from diabetic patients, where cinnamtannin B-1 reverses both platelet hypersensitivity and hyperactivity. Considering the large number of cellular effects of cinnamtannin B-1 the development of therapeutic strategies for thrombotic disorders or certain types of cancer deserves further studies. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the actions and relevance of the signalling pathways modulated by cinnamtannin B-1.

Abstract
Treatment of cells with pervanadate or vanadate induces the phosphorylation of caveolin-1 and its internalization from the cell surface, but the intracellular fate of caveolae has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we examined the fate of endocytosed caveolae in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and mouse endothelial KOP2.16 cells. The localization of internalized caveolae and their relationship with the endosomes were examined by immunofluorescence microscopy as well as by immunoprecipitation and chasing of biotinylated transferrin. In untreated cells, caveolin-1 was mostly confined to the cell surface. When cells were treated with either pervanadate for 30 min or vanadate for 3 h, many caveolin-1-labeled vesicles were formed inside the cells, some of which were colocalized with Rab5 or Rab4. The internalized caveolin-1 was colocalized with the endocytosed transferrin in the Rab5-, Rab4- or early endosome antigen-1-labeled compartment where caveolin-1 was phosphorylated. It then moved to the Rabl 1-associated compartment. Immunogold electron microscopy revealed that internalized caveolin-1 colocalized with Rab5 or Rab4 in vesicles larger than caveolae. These results suggest that the internalized caveolae interact with early endosomes.

Abstract
Although phosphorylation on tyrosine 14 was identified early in the discovery of caveolin-1, the functional significance of this modification still remains elusive. Recent evidence points to a role of caveolin-1 tyrosine 14 phosphorylation in cell adhesion and migration. These results are based on a variety of tools, including a widely used mouse monoclonal anti-phosphocaveolin-1 antibody, which labels, in cultured cells, a protein localized at or near focal adhesions. We here report results from three independent laboratories, showing that this antibody recognizes phosphocaveolin-1 amongst other proteins in immunoblot analyses and that the signal obtained with this antibody in immunostaining experiments is in part due to labeling of paxillin. Published data need to be interpreted keeping in mind that images of phosphocaveolin-1 cellular localization obtained using this antibody are not valid. We re-evaluate the current knowledge about the role of caveolin-1 in cell adhesion and migration in view of this new information.

Abstract
Generation of ceramide in the plasma membrane, with the subsequent formation of large ceramide-enriched membrane platforms, serves signal transduction via receptors, but also nonreceptor-mediated activation of cells. Recent studies demonstrate that enzymes mediating release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) localize to membrane rafts, and the integrity of these rafts is required for cellular ROS release. The authors and others noted that in a feed-forward mechanism, ROS are able to stimulate ceramide-releasing enzymes, for instance, acid sphingomyelinase, resulting in the formation of ceramide-enriched membrane platforms that may mediate cellular activation initiated by oxidative stress.

Abstract
Cinnamtannin B-1, a natural A-type proanthocyanidin recently identified as a radical scavenger component of Laurus nobilis L., exerts antiaggregant and antiapoptotic effects in human platelets. Here, we have investigated the intracellular mechanisms involved in the antiaggregant effects of cinnamtannin B-1. Cinnamtannin B-1 showed a greater free radical scavenging activity than vitamin C, vitamin E, or Trolox, among other antioxidants and reduced thrombin-evoked tubulin reorganization and platelet aggregation. Thrombin-evoked activation of Btk and pp60(src) was also inhibited by cinnamtannin B-1. In conclusion, we show that cinnamtannin B-1 is a powerful oxygen radical scavenger that reduces thrombin-evoked microtubular remodeling and activation of the tyrosine kinases Btk and pp60(src), which leads to inhibition of platelet aggregation. These observations suggest that cinnamtannin B-1 may prevent thrombotic complications associated to platelet hyperaggregability and hyperactivity, although further studies are necessary to establish appropriate therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Abstract
Vascular endothelial activation is an early step during leukocyte/endothelial adhesion and transendothelial leukocyte migration in inflammatory states. Leukocyte transmigration occurs through intercellular gaps between endothelial cells. Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) is a predominant component of endothelial adherens junctions that regulates intercellular gap formation. We found that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) caused tyrosine phosphorylation of VE-cadherin, separation of lateral cell-cell junctions, and intercellular gap formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) monolayers. These events appear to be regulated by intracellular oxidant production through endothelial NAD(P)H (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) oxidase because antioxidants and expression of a transdominant inhibitor of the NADPH oxidase, p67(V204A), effectively blocked the effects of TNF on all 3 parameters of junctional integrity. Antioxidants and p67(V204A) also decreased TNF-induced JNK activation. Dominant-negative JNK abrogated VE-cadherin phosphorylation and junctional separation, suggesting a downstream role for JNK. Finally, adenoviral delivery of the kinase dead PAK1(K298A) decreased TNF-induced JNK activation, VE-cadherin phosphorylation, and lateral junctional separation, consistent with the proposed involvement of PAK1 upstream of the NADPH oxidase. Thus, PAK-1 acts in concert with oxidase during TNF-induced oxidant production and loss of endothelial cell junctional integrity.

Abstract
Caveolae and the caveolae coat proteins, caveolins, are putatively implicated in many cellular processes, including transcytosis of macromolecules, cholesterol transport, and signal transduction. Recent insights into the physiological and pathophysiological roles of these organelles and the caveolins from genetically modified mice suggest that they may be profoundly important for postnatal cardiovascular function, including endothelial barrier function, regulation of nitric oxide synthesis, cholesterol metabolism, and cardiac function.

Abstract
Caveolae are 50- to 100-nm cell-surface plasma membrane invaginations observed in terminally differentiated cells. They are particularly abundant in endothelial cells, where they are believed to play a major role in the regulation of endothelial vesicular trafficking and signal transduction. The use of caveolin-1-deficient mice has provided many new insights into the roles of caveolae and caveolin-1 in the regulation of endothelial cell function. These novel findings suggest an important role for caveolin-1 in the pathogenesis of cancer, atherosclerosis, and vascular disease.

Abstract
Fibroblast cellular models are widely used for research on fatty acid metabolism. Due to the importance of L-carnitine in intermediary metabolism we studied the effects of L-carnitine on healthy human skin fibroblasts and fibroblasts without functional peroxisomes (Zellweger Syndrome) cultivated under carnitine deficiency, which is caused by standard media compositions. The application of physiological (0.1mM) or super-physiological (1mM) doses of L-carnitine causes a significant decrease of the specific activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS, 2.25+/-0.10 to 1.36 pmol/(minmg)+/-0.09 pmol/(minmg) at 0.1mM), proliferation and a tendentious decrease of the antioxidant defence potential against hydrogen peroxide only in control cells. Simultaneous application of L-carnitine and 100 micro M N-acetylcysteine (NAC) prevents the alterations in control cells. Thus, L-carnitine alters the cellular regulation of the NOS probably by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which suggests that carnitine deficient media neither reflect physiological conditions for cellular models for fatty acid metabolism nor for the regulation of NOS.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial permeability is maintained by the regulated apposition of adherens and tight junctional proteins whose organization is controlled by several pharmacological and physiological mediators. Endothelial permeability changes are associated with: (1) the spatial redistribution of surface cadherins and occludin, (2) stabilization of focal adhesive bonds and (3) the progressive activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In response to peroxide, histamine and EDTA, endothelial cells sequester VE-cadherin and alter its cytoskeletal binding. Simultaneously, these mediators enhance focal adhesion to the substratum. Oxidants, cytokines and pharmacological mediators also trigger the activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in a cytoskeleton and tyrosine phosphorylation dependent manner to degrade occludin, a well-characterized tight junction element. These related in vitro phenomena appear to co-operate during inflammation, to increase endothelial permeability, structurally stabilize cells while also remodelling cell junctions and substratum.

Abstract
One of the key elements of Mediterranean diet is the use of wine, usually taken with foods. Besides the evidence from human experience and ancient medicine, modern experimental data support the notion that the most striking effect of wine in protecting against cardiovascular disease involves the reduction of oxidative damage to plasma lipoproteins. This oxidative damage is thought to be mediated by eating foods containing oxidized lipids. In fact, eating a meal containing oxidized lipids increases the plasma level of lipid hydroperoxides and increases the susceptibility to oxidation of LDL. The postprandial increase of LDL-, an oxidatively modified form of LDL, where apoB is unfolded and sinking in the core of the particle, is a valuable biomarker for this food-derived oxidative stress in plasma. Wine, taken with foods minimizes the postprandial rise of lipid hydroperoxides and LDL- and abolishes the increase of LDL oxidability. Among wine antioxidants, the best candidates for providing an antioxidant effect are procyanidins. These compounds are considered better antioxidants than the corresponding monomers containing catechol groups. This is due to the hydrogen transfer mechanism for the radical-scavenging reaction, which renders the reaction more specific for peroxyl radicals and pH independent. Moreover, the fast intramolecular disproportion among aroxyl radicals pulls the antioxidant reaction by both decreasing the oxidation potential and increasing the rate of the reaction. Apparently, wine procyanidins are active in preventing lipid oxidation of foods while in the digestive tract, thus preventing the postprandial plasma rise in oxidants. The likely limited bioavailability of these compounds, therefore, does not affect their relevance as key elements for optimizing nutrition and reducing risk of atherogenesis. Accordingly, studies with rabbits fed a high cholesterol diet show that grapeseed procyanidins are strongly protective not only in terms of reducing plasma lipid peroxides, but they also markedly inhibit lipid-laden foam-cell deposition. Drinking wine at meals provides this kind of protection, and the final benefits are realized by the prevention of the development of atheromatous lesions even under conditions of hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
During normal and pathological conditions, endothelial cells (ECs) are subjected to locally generated reactive oxygen species, produced by themselves or by other vessel wall cells. In excess these molecules cause oxidative injury to the cell but at moderate levels they might modulate intracellular signalling pathways. We have investigated the effect of oxidative stress on the palmitoylation and trafficking of caveolin-1 in bovine aortic ECs. Exogenous H2O2 did not alter the intracellular localization of caveolin-1 in ECs. However, metabolic labelling experiments showed that H2O2 inhibited the trafficking of newly synthesized caveolin-1 to membrane raft domains. Several mechanisms potentially responsible for this inhibition were examined. Impairment of caveolin-1 synthesis by H2O2 was not responsible for diminished trafficking. Similarly, the inhibition was independent of H2O2-induced caveolin-1 phosphorylation as shown by the markedly different concentration dependences. We tested the effect of H2O2 on palmitoylation of caveolin-1 by the incorporation of [3H]palmitic acid. Exposure of ECs to H2O2 markedly inhibited the palmitoylation of caveolin-1. Comparable inhibition was observed after treatment of cells with H2O2 delivered either as a bolus or by continuous delivery with glucose and glucose oxidase. Kinetic studies showed that H2O2 did not alter the rate of caveolin-1 depalmitoylation but instead decreased the 'on-rate' of palmitoylation. Together these results show for the first time the modulation of protein palmitoylation by oxidative stress, and suggest a cellular mechanism by which stress might influence caveolin-1-dependent cell activities such as the concentration of signalling proteins and cholesterol trafficking.

Abstract
We have shown earlier that oxidant-induced activation of phospholipase D (PLD) in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) is regulated by protein tyrosine kinases. To further understand the regulation of oxidant-induced PLD activation, we investigated the role of Src kinase. Treatment of bovine pulmonary artery ECs (BPAECs) with a model oxidant, diperoxovanadate (DPV), at 5 microM concentration, for 30 min, stimulated PLD activity (four- to eightfold), which was attenuated by tyrosine kinase inhibitors and by Src kinase-specific inhibitors PP-1 and PP-2, in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Furthermore, BPAECs exposed to DPV (5 microM) for 2 min showed activation of Src kinase as observed by increased tyrosine phosphorylation and autophosphorylation in Src immunoprecipitates, which was attenuated by PP-2. Src immunoprecipitates of cell lysates from control BPAECs exhibited PLD activity in cell-free preparations, which was Arf- and Rho-sensitive and was enhanced at 2 min of DPV (5 microM) treatment. Also, Western blots of Src immunoprecipitates of control cells revealed the presence of PLD(1) and PLD(2), suggesting the association of PLD with Src kinase under basal conditions. However, exposure of cells to DPV (5 microM) for 2 min enhanced the association of PLD(2) but not PLD(1) with Src. Western blotting of immunoprecipitates of PLD(1) and PLD(2) isoforms of control BPAECs revealed the presence of Src under basal conditions and exposure of cells to DPV (5 microM) for 2 min enhanced the association of PLD(2) with Src in PLD(2) immunoprecipitates. Transient expression of a dominant negative mutant of Src in BPAECs attenuated DPV- but not TPA-induced PLD activation. In cell-free preparations, Src did not phosphorylate either PLD(1) or PLD(2) compared to protein kinase Calpha or p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. These data show for the first time a direct association of Src with PLD in ECs and regulation of PLD in intact cells.

Abstract
We previously reported that exposure of endothelial cells to H(2)O(2) results in a loss of cell-cell apposition and increased endothelial solute permeability. The purpose of this study was to determine how tyrosine phosphorylation and tyrosine phosphatases contribute to oxidant-mediated disorganization of endothelial cell junctions. We found that H(2)O(2) caused a rapid decrease in total cellular phosphatase activity that facilitates a compensatory increase in cellular phosphotyrosine residues. H(2)O(2) exposure also results in increased endothelial monolayer permeability, which was attenuated by pp60, an inhibitor of src kinase. Inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase activity by phenylarsine oxide (PAO) demonstrated a similar permeability profile compared with H(2)O(2), suggesting that tyrosine phosphatase activity is important in maintaining a normal endothelial solute barrier. Immunofluorescence shows that H(2)O(2) exposure caused a loss of pan-reactive cadherin and beta-catenin from cell junctions that was not blocked by the src kinase inhibitor PP1. H(2)O(2) also caused beta-catenin to dissociate from the endothelial cytoskeleton, which was not prevented by PP1. Finally, we determined that PP1 did not prevent cadherin internalization. These data suggest that oxidants like H(2)O(2) produce biological effects through protein phosphotyrosine modifications by decreasing total cellular phosphatase activity combined with increased src kinase activity, resulting in increased endothelial solute permeability.

Abstract
We investigated the activation of three subfamilies of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAP kinase), the extracellular regulated kinase (ERK1/2), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), by the myeloperoxidase-derived oxidant HOCl, in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human skin fibroblasts. Treatment of fibroblasts with 10-30 microM HOCl induced a dose-dependent increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins. ERK1/2 was activated by exposure to sublethal concentrations of reagent HOCl or by HOCl generated by myeloperoxidase as shown by immune complex kinase assays. Maximum activation was seen at 20 microM and peak activation occurred within 10 min. Western blot analysis demonstrated activation of p38 with 30 microM HOCl, occurring at 15-30 min. No activation of JNK was detected in the concentration range investigated. These results show that HOCl is able to activate MAP kinases. Effective doses were considerably lower than with H2O2 and the lack of JNK activation contrasts with the activation frequently seen with H2O2. Exposure to HOCl caused a loss of viability in HUVEC that was markedly enhanced when ERK1/2 activation was inhibited by U0126. This suggests that the activation of ERK promotes cell survival in response to the oxidative challenge.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (.NO) attenuates hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-mediated barrier dysfunction in cultured porcine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) (Gupta MP, Ober MD, Patterson C, Al-Hassani M, Natarajan V, and Hart, CM. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 280: L116-L126, 2001). However,.NO rapidly combines with superoxide (O) to form the powerful oxidant peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), which we hypothesized would cause PAEC monolayer barrier dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, we treated PAEC with ONOO(-) (500 microM) or 3-morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride (SIN-1; 1-500 microM). SIN-1-mediated ONOO(-) formation was confirmed by monitoring the oxidation of dihydrorhodamine 123 to rhodamine. Both ONOO(-) and SIN-1 increased albumin clearance (P < 0.05) in the absence of cytotoxicity and altered the architecture of the cytoskeletal proteins actin and beta-catenin as detected by immunofluorescent confocal imaging. ONOO(-)-induced barrier dysfunction was partially reversible and was attenuated by cysteine. Both ONOO(-) and SIN-1 nitrated tyrosine residues, including those on beta-catenin and actin, and oxidized proteins in PAEC. The introduction of actin treated with ONOO(-) into PAEC monolayers via liposomes also resulted in barrier dysfunction. These results indicate that ONOO(-) directly alters endothelial cytoskeletal proteins, leading to barrier dysfunction.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that diperoxovanadate (DPV), a synthetic peroxovanadium compound and cell-permeable oxidant that acts as a protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor and insulinomimetic, increased phospholipase D (PLD) activation in endothelial cells (ECs). In this report, the regulation of DPV-induced PLD activation by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) was investigated. DPV activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 MAPK in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Treatment of ECs with p38 MAPK inhibitors SB-203580 and SB-202190 or transient transfection with a p38 dominant negative mutant mitigated the PLD activation by DPV but not by phorbol ester. SB-202190 blocked DPV-mediated p38 MAPK activity as determined by activated transcription factor-2 phosphorylation. Immunoprecipitation of PLD from EC lysates with PLD1 and PLD2 antibodies revealed both PLD isoforms associated with p38 MAPK. Similarly, PLD1 and PLD2 were detected in p38 immunoprecipitates from control and DPV-challenged ECs. Binding assays demonstrated interaction of glutathione S-transferase-p38 fusion protein with PLD1 and PLD2. Both PLD1 and PLD2 were phosphorylated by p38 MAPK in vitro, and DPV increased phosphorylation of PLD1 and PLD2 in vivo. However, phosphorylation of PLD by p38 failed to affect PLD activity in vitro. These results provide evidence for p38 MAPK-mediated regulation of PLD in ECs.

Abstract
Low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase is involved in the regulation of several tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors. The best characterized action of this enzyme is on the signaling pathways activated by platelet-derived growth factor, where it plays multiple roles. In this study we identify tyrosine-phosphorylated caveolin as a new potential substrate for low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase. Caveolin is tyrosine-phosphorylated in vivo by Src kinases, recruits into caveolae, and hence regulates the activities of several proteins involved in cellular signaling cascades. Our results demonstrate that caveolin and low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase coimmunoprecipitate from cell lysates, and that a fraction of the enzyme localizes in caveolae. Furthermore, in a cell line sensitive to insulin, the overexpression of the C12S dominant negative mutant of low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase (a form lacking activity but able to bind substrates) causes the enhancement of tyrosine-phosphorylated caveolin. Insulin stimulation of these cells induces a strong increase of caveolin phosphorylation. The localization of low M(r) phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase in caveolae, the in vivo interaction between this enzyme and caveolin, and the capacity of this enzyme to rapidly dephosphorylate phosphocaveolin, all indicate that tyrosine-phosphorylated caveolin is a relevant substrate for this phosphatase.

Abstract
As shown recently, in human skin fibroblasts both a constitutively expressed and the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoform are present. To identify the NOS isoforms expressed under standard conditions in healthy human skin fibroblasts and fibroblasts with peroxisomal deficiencies (cell lines from patients suffering from X-chromosome linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) and the Zellweger Syndrome), we cultivated the cells in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium without inflammatory mediators. Our experiments clearly showed that human fibroblasts with and without peroxisomal deficiencies only contain the constitutively expressed endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) isoform and that the eNOS is tyrosine-phosphorylated. The inducible isoform (iNOS) could not be detected under standard conditions. Healthy human skin fibroblasts show a higher specific NOS activity than X-ALD and Zellweger cells (2.25 to 1.68 and 1.17 pmol L-citrulline/min/mg total cellular protein), although the content of eNOS protein does not differ significantly in these cell lines. However the tyrosine-phosphorylated portion of eNOS is significantly lower in X-ALD and Zellweger cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caveolin has been shown to play an important role in signal transduction and nitric oxide synthase production. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether caveolin was tyrosine phosphorylated or activated by shear stress or cyclic strain in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). MATERIALS AND METHODS BAECs were subjected to an average of 10% strain at a rate of 60 cycles/min or a laminar shear stress of 10 dyn/cm(2) for up to 4 h. Immunoblotting with anticaveolin antibody was performed to assess activation of caveolin. Coimmunoprecipitation of anticaveolin antibody with anti-tyrosine phosphorylation antibody was performed to detect the tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin. RESULTS Neither cyclic strain nor shear stress at physiologic levels altered the level of caveolin protein. Tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin could not be observed at any time under either cyclic strain or shear stress condition. CONCLUSION Although hemodynamic forces alter nitric oxide synthase production and activate signal transduction, caveolin levels or activity is not altered in endothelial cells exposed to shear stress or cyclic strain.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 is the major coat protein of caveolae and has been reported to interact with various intracellular signaling molecules including the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. To investigate the involvement of caveolin-1 in EGF receptor action, we used mouse B82L fibroblasts transfected with (a) wild type EGF receptor, (b) a C-terminally truncated EGF receptor at residue 1022, (c) a C-terminally truncated EGF receptor at residue 973, or (d) a kinase-inactive EGF receptor (K721M). Following EGF treatment, there was a distinct electrophoretic mobility shift of the caveolin-1 present in cells expressing the truncated forms of the EGF receptor, but this shift was not detectable in cells bearing either normal levels of the wild type EGF receptor or a kinase-inactive receptor. This mobility shift was also not observed following the addition of other cell stimuli, such as platelet-derived growth factor, insulin, basic fibroblast growth factor, or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Analysis of caveolin-1 immunoprecipitates from EGF-stimulated or nonstimulated cells demonstrated that the EGF-induced mobility shift of caveolin-1 was associated with its tyrosine phosphorylation in cells expressing truncated EGF receptors. Maximal caveolin-1 phosphorylation was achieved within 5 min after exposure to 10 nM EGF and remained elevated for at least 2 h. Additionally, several distinct phosphotyrosine-containing proteins (60, 45, 29, 24, and 20 kDa) were co-immunoprecipitated with caveolin-1 in an EGF-dependent manner. Furthermore, the Src family kinase inhibitor, PP1, does not affect autophosphorylation of the receptor, but it does inhibit the EGF-induced mobility shift and phosphorylation of caveolin-1. Conversely, the MEK inhibitors PD98059 and UO126 could attenuate EGF-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase activation, they do not affect the EGF-induced mobility shift of caveolin-1. Because truncation and overexpression of the EGF receptor have been linked to cell transformation, these results provide the first evidence that the tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-1 occurs via an EGF-sensitive signaling pathway that can be potentiated by an aberrant activity or expression of various forms of the EGF receptor.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species are produced by all aerobic cells and are widely believed to play a pivotal role in aging as well as a number of degenerative diseases. The consequences of the generation of oxidants in cells does not appear to be limited to promotion of deleterious effects. Alterations in oxidative metabolism have long been known to occur during differentiation and development. Experimental perturbations in cellular redox state have been shown to exert a strong impact on these processes. The discovery of specific genes and pathways affected by oxidants led to the hypothesis that reactive oxygen species serve as subcellular messengers in gene regulatory and signal transduction pathways. Additionally, antioxidants can activate numerous genes and pathways. The burgeoning growth in the number of pathways shown to be dependent on oxidation or antioxidation has accelerated during the last decade. In the discussion presented here, we provide a tabular summary of many of the redox effects on gene expression and signaling pathways that are currently known to exist.

Abstract
Caveolin-1, a scaffolding protein of caveolae, is known to be tyrosine-phosphorylated by Src kinases. Recently we generated a specific antibody to caveolin-1 phosphorylated at tyrosine-14 (PY14) (R. Nomura and T. Fujimoto, 1999, Mol. Biol. Cell 10, 975-986). In the present study, by applying PY14 to sections of normal rat tissues, we found that tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-1 occurred in limited locations, including the endothelium of the continuous capillaries and small venules. Cultured endothelial cells were not labeled by PY14 under a standard culture condition, but became positively labeled when exposed to oxidative stresses and/or tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors. The reaction was prohibited by pretreating the cells with herbimycin A or genistein. Vasoactive reagents or physical stimuli did not cause the phosphorylation. Concomitant with the tyrosine phosphorylation, the number of invaginated caveolae decreased drastically, and vesicles labeled intensely for caveolin-1 appeared in the cytoplasm; the average diameter of the vesicles was larger than that of caveolae. The result implies that tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-1 occurs at tyrosine-14 in the normal rat endothelium in vivo and may induce caveolar vesiculation and/or fusion.

Abstract
Synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is critical for normal vascular homeostasis. eNOS function is rapidly regulated by agonists and blood flow and chronically by factors that regulate mRNA stability and gene transcription. Recently, localization of eNOS to specialized plasma membrane invaginations termed caveolae has been proposed to be required for maximal eNOS activity. Because caveolae are highly enriched in cholesterol, and hypercholesterolemia is associated with increased NO production, we first studied the effects of cholesterol loading on eNOS localization and NO production in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). Caveolae-enriched fractions were prepared by OptiPrep gradient density centrifugation. Treatment of BAECs with 30 microgram/mL cholesterol for 24 hours stimulated significant increases in total eNOS protein expression (1.50-fold), eNOS associated with caveolae-enriched membranes (2.23-fold), and calcium ionophore-stimulated NO production (1.56-fold). Because reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to endothelial dysfunction in hypercholesterolemia, we next studied the effects of ROS on eNOS localization and caveolae number. Treatment of BAECs for 24 hours with 1 micromol/L LY83583, a superoxide-generating napthoquinolinedione, decreased caveolae number measured by electron microscopy and prevented the cholesterol-mediated increases in eNOS expression. In vitro exposure of caveolae-enriched membranes to ROS (xanthine plus xanthine oxidase) dissociated caveolin more readily than eNOS from the membranes. These results show that cholesterol treatment increases eNOS expression, whereas ROS treatment decreases eNOS expression and the association of eNOS with caveolin in caveolae-enriched membranes. Our data suggest that oxidative stress modulates endothelial function by regulating caveolae formation, eNOS expression, and eNOS-caveolin interactions.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the side products (H2O2, O2.-, and OH.) of general metabolism and are also produced specifically by the NADPH oxidase system in most cell types. Cells have a very efficient antioxidant defense to counteract the toxic effect of ROS. The physiological significance of ROS is that ROS at low concentrations are able to mediate cellular functions through the same steps of intracellular signaling, which are activated by natural stimuli. Moreover, a variety of natural stimuli act through the intracellular formation of ROS that change the intracellular redox state (oxidation-reduction). Thus, the redox state is a part of intracellular signaling. As such, ROS are now considered signal molecules at nontoxic concentrations. Progress has been achieved in studying the oxidative activation of gene transcription in animal cells and bacteria. Changes in the redox state of intracellular thiols are considered to be an important mechanism that regulates cell functions.

Abstract
The shear-induced intracellular signal transduction pathway in vascular endothelial cells involves tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, which may be responsible for the sustained release of nitric oxide. MAP kinase is known to be activated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as H2O2, in several cell types. ROS production in ligand-stimulated nonphagocytic cells appears to require the participation of a Ras-related small GTP-binding protein, Rac1. We hypothesized that Rac1 might serve as a mediator for the effect of shear stress on MAP kinase activation. Exposure of bovine aortic endothelial cells to laminar shear stress of 20 dyn/cm2 for 5-30 min stimulated total cellular and cytosolic tyrosine phosphorylation as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of MAP kinase. Treating endothelial cells with the antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the shear-stimulated increase in total cytosolic and, specifically, MAP kinase tyrosine phosphorylation. Hence, the onset of shear stress caused an enhanced generation of intracellular ROS, as evidenced by an oxidized protein detection kit, which were required for the shear-induced total cellular and MAP kinase tyrosine phosphorylation. Total cellular and MAP kinase tyrosine phosphorylation was completely blocked in sheared bovine aortic endothelial cells expressing a dominant negative Rac1 gene product (N17rac1). We concluded that the GTPase Rac1 mediates the shear-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of MAP kinase via regulation of the flow-dependent redox changes in endothelial cells in physiological and pathological circumstances.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 was discovered as a major substrate for v-Src, but the effect of its tyrosine phosphorylation has not been known. We generated a specific antibody (PY14) to caveolin-1 phosphorylated at tyrosine 14 and studied the significance of the modification. By Western blotting of lysates of v-Src-expressing cells, PY14 recognized not only a 22-kDa band (the position of nonphosphorylated caveolin-1) but bands at 23-24 and 25 kDa. Bands of slower mobility were diminished by dephosphorylation and were also observed for mutant caveolin-1 lacking tyrosine 14. By immunofluorescence microscopy, PY14 did not label normal cells but detected large dots in v-Src-expressing cells. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that the dots corresponded to aggregated caveolae and/or vesicles of various sizes; besides, the label was observed in intramembrane particle-free areas in the plasma membrane, which appeared to have been formed by fusion of flattened caveolae. A positive reaction with PY14 was found in normal cells after vanadate or pervanadate treatment; it occurred mainly at 22 kDa by Western blotting and was not seen as large dots by immunofluorescence microscopy. Detergent solubility, oligomerization, and association with caveolin-2 were observed similarly for caveolin-1 in normal and v-Src-expressing cells. The results indicate that phosphorylation of caveolin-1 in v-Src-expressing cells occurs at multiple residues and induces flattening, aggregation, and fusion of caveolae and/or caveolae-derived vesicles.

Abstract
We examined which endothelial second messengers are involved in peroxide-mediated endothelial-neutrophil adhesion with respect to endothelial P-selectin expression and platelet-activating factor (PAF). Peroxide (0.5 mM)-mediated adhesion was blocked by a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, Gö6976 (10 nM); an intracellular calcium chelator, TMB-8 (0.1 mM); and a protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor, KT5823 (0.5 microM); but not by a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein (1 microM), or a protein kinase A inhibitor, H-89 (0.1 microM). These data were consistent with the proadhesive effects of PMA (0.1 microM), a PKC activator; a calcium ionophore, A23187 (1 microM); and dibutyryl cGMP (0.5 and 1 mM); but not phenylarsine oxide (0.1 mM), a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, or dibutyryl cAMP (1 mM). Conversely, peroxide-mediated P-selectin expression was blocked by Gö6976 and KT5823, but not by TMB-8. These data are strengthened by the observation that PMA and dibutyryl cGMP, but not A23187, increased P-selectin expression. WEB 2086 (10 microM), a PAF-receptor antagonist, blocked peroxide-, PMA-, and A23187-mediated adhesion, but not peroxide-mediated P-selectin expression. PAF itself (10 nM) stimulated adhesion, but not P-selectin expression. These data indicate that PKC and PKG are involved in peroxide-mediated neutrophil adhesion via P-selectin mobilization and PAF synthesis; however, intracellular calcium appears to mediate adhesion only through PAF synthesis.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in the pathophysiology of a number of vascular disorders, including atherosclerosis. Recent studies indicate that ROS modulate signal transduction in mammalian cells. Previously, we have shown that ROS (hydrogen peroxide, fatty acid hydroperoxide, diperoxovanadate, and 4-hydroxynonenal) enhance protein tyrosine phosphorylation and activate phospholipase D (PLD) in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAECs). In the present study, our aim was to investigate the role of exogenous thiol agents on ROS-induced PLD activation in conjunction with the role of cellular thiols--glutathione (GSH) and protein thiols--on PLD activation and protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Pretreatment of BPAECs with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) or 2-mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG) blocked ROS-induced changes in intracellular GSH and PLD activation. Also, pretreatment with NAC attenuated diperoxovanadate-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Pretreatment of BPAECs with diamide or L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO), agents that lower intracellular GSH and thiols, enhanced PLD activity. Furthermore, NAC blocked diamide- or BSO-mediated changes in GSH levels, PLD activity, and protein tyrosine phosphorylation. NAC also attenuated diamide-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins between 69 and 118 KDa. These results support the hypothesis that modulation of thiol-redox status (cellular nonprotein and protein thiols) may contribute to the regulation of ROS-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation and PLD activation in vascular endothelium.

Abstract
The syndecans, a family of cell surface proteoglycans, have highly conserved cytoplasmic domains that bind proteins containing PDZ domains and co-localize with the actin cytoskeleton. The syndecan cytoplasmic domains contain four conserved tyrosine residues, two of which are located within favorable sequences for phosphorylation. Endogenous tyrosine phosphorylation of syndecans-1 and -4 is detected in adherent B82 fibroblasts. Approximately 1.5% of total syndecan is endogenously phosphorylated, while most, if not all, cell surface syndecan is phosphorylated following treatment with the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate. Syndecan phosphorylation is also detected in Raji-S1 and NMuMG cells, but only following treatment with vanadate or pervanadate, suggesting that endogenous phosphorylation is maintained in an "off" state in these cells. Endogenous syndecan phosphorylation in B82 cells is rapidly blocked by genistein (IC50 < 10 microM) confirming the presence of a constitutively active kinase and a corresponding tyrosine phosphatase. Phosphorylation is also inhibited by herbimycin A (IC50 < 1.0 microM) and staurosporine (IC50 < 1.0 nM), suggesting a role for Src family kinases in regulating syndecan phosphorylation. Together, these data suggest an important role for tyrosine phosphorylation of the syndecan cytoplasmic domains in regulating downstream signaling events in response to cell adhesion and/or growth factor activity.

Abstract
Caveolae are specialized plasmalemmal microdomains originally studied in numerous cell types for their involvement in the transcytosis of macromolecules. They are enriched in glycosphingolipids, cholesterol, sphingomyelin, and lipid-anchored membrane proteins, and they are characterized by a light buoyant density and resistance to solubilization by Triton X-100 at 4 degreesC. Once the identification of the marker protein caveolin made it possible to purify this specialized membrane domain, it was discovered that caveolae also contain a variety of signal transduction molecules. This includes G protein-coupled receptors, G proteins and adenylyl cyclase, molecules involved in the regulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis, and their effectors including the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase, multiple components of the tyrosine kinase-mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, and numerous lipid signaling molecules. More recent work has indicated that caveolae further serve to compartmentalize, modulate, and integrate signaling events at the cell surface. This specialized plasmalemmal domain warrants direct consideration in future investigations of both normal and pathological signal transduction in pulmonary cell types.

Abstract
The cell biology of caveolae is a rapidly growing area of biomedical research. Caveolae are known primarily for their ability to transport molecules across endothelial cells, but modern cellular techniques have dramatically extended our view of caveolae. They form a unique endocytic and exocytic compartment at the surface of most cells and are capable of importing molecules and delivering them to specific locations within the cell, exporting molecules to extracellular space, and compartmentalizing a variety of signaling activities. They are not simply an endocytic device with a peculiar membrane shape but constitute an entire membrane system with multiple functions essential for the cell. Specific diseases attack this system: Pathogens have been identified that use it as a means of gaining entrance to the cell. Trying to understand the full range of functions of caveolae challenges our basic instincts about the cell.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated modulation of signal transduction pathways represent an important mechanism of cell injury and barrier dysfunction leading to the development of vascular disorders. Towards understanding the role of ROS in vascular dysfunction, we investigated the effect of diperoxovanadate (DPV), derived from mixing hydrogen peroxide and vanadate, on the activation of phospholipase D (PLD) in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAECs). Addition of DPV to BPAECs in the presence of .05% butanol resulted in an accumulation of [32P] phosphatidylbutanol (PBt) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. DPV also caused an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of several protein bands (Mr 20-200 kD), as determined by Western blot analysis with antiphosphotyrosine antibodies. The DPV-induced [32P] PBt-accumulation was inhibited by putative tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as genistein, herbimycin, tyrphostin and by chelation of Ca2+ with either EGTA or BAPTA, however, pretreatment of BPAECs with the inhibitor PKC bisindolylmaleimide showed minimal inhibition. Also down-regulation of PKC alpha and epsilon, the major isotypes of PKC in BPAECs, by TPA (100 nM, 18 h) did not attenuate the DPV-induced PLD activation. The effects of putative tyrosine kinase and PKC inhibitors were specific as determined by comparing [32P] PBt formation between DPV and TPA. In addition to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate also attenuated DPV-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation and PLD stimulation. These results suggest that oxidation, prevented by reduction with thiol compounds, is involved in DPV-dependent protein tyrosine phosphorylation and PLD activation.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and vascular permeability. In contrast to its transient expression during the formation of new blood vessels, VEGF and its receptors are continuously and highly expressed in some adult tissues, such as the kidney glomerulus and choroid plexus. This suggests that VEGF produced by the epithelial cells of these tissues might be involved in the induction or maintenance of fenestrations in adjacent endothelial cells expressing the VEGF receptors. Here we describe a defined in vitro culture system where fenestrae formation was induced in adrenal cortex capillary endothelial cells by VEGF, but not by fibroblast growth factor. A strong induction of endothelial fenestrations was observed in cocultures of endothelial cells with choroid plexus epithelial cells, or mammary epithelial cells stably transfected with cDNAs for VEGF 120 or 164, but not with untransfected cells. These results demonstrate that, in these cocultures, VEGF is sufficient to induce fenestrations in vitro. Identical results were achieved when the epithelial cells were replaced by an epithelial-derived basal lamina-type extracellular matrix, but not with collagen alone. In this defined system, VEGF-mediated induction of fenestrae was always accompanied by an increase in the number of fused diaphragmed caveolae-like vesicles. Caveolae, but not fenestrae, were labeled with a caveolin-1-specific antibody both in vivo and in vitro. VEGF stimulation led to VEGF receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, but no change in the distribution, phosphorylation, or protein level of caveolin-1 was observed. We conclude that VEGF in the presence of a basal lamina-type extracellular matrix specifically induces fenestrations in endothelial cells. This defined in vitro system will allow further study of the signaling mechanisms involved in fenestrae formation, modification of caveolae, and vascular permeability.

Abstract
A 24-h incubation with hydrogen peroxide (0.65 mM) markedly reduced viability of cultured endothelial cells. Preincubation with aspirin (3-30 microM) protected endothelial cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced toxicity and increased viability in a concentration-dependent fashion by up to 64% of control. A similar protection was observed with D-alpha-tocopherol acetate (vitamin E, 3-30 microM). The cytoprotective effects of aspirin and vitamin E against hydrogen peroxide were overadditive suggesting different mechanisms of antioxidant action. In agreement with this, cytotoxicity induced by iron, the main catalyst of oxygen radical formation, was substantially reduced by aspirin but not vitamin E. These results show that aspirin protects endothelial cells from oxidative stress possibly via binding or chelation of free cytosolic iron. Moreover, a combination of aspirin and vitamin E might be useful for the prevention of endothelial injury in cardiovascular disease, e.g. during atherogenesis.
