Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore the roles of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in the control of metastasis of infection with endothelial dysfunction, as well as the roles of -786T>C polymorphism in eNOS promoter in the control of metastasis of endothelial function. METHOD In-silicon analysis and luciferase assay were used to identify the location of -786>C on the promoter of eNOS. Subsequently, real-time PCR and Western-blot were used to determine the expression level of eNOS. Ultrasound examination was used to detect baseline brachial artery diameter and flow-mediated dilation of patients in different treat groups. RESULTS -786T>C was located on the promoter of eNOS, and the luciferase activity of cells transfected with -786-C allele was much higher than empty vector, while even higher subsequent to transfection of -786-T allele. In addition, the result of ultrasound examination showed that the baseline brachial artery diameter was comparable between patients genotyped as TT, TC and CC, while the flow-mediated dilation of patients genotyped as TC was much higher compared with CC group, and the flow-mediated dilation of patients genotyped as TT even higher than TC group. We found eNOS messenger RNA and protein with TT genotype was significantly higher compared with other genotypes. And the production of NO was remarkably higher in TT groups compared with TC and CC, while the production of NO in TC and CC groups were similar. CONCLUSION These findings indicated that down-expression of -786T>C located on the promoter of eNOS is associated with an increased risk of endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
Protein kinase C has been shown to play a central role in the cardioprotection of ischemic preconditioning. However, the mechanism underlying PKC-mediated cardioprotection is not completely understood. Given that caveolae are critical for PKC signaling, we sought to determine whether hypoxic preconditioning promotes translocation and association of PKC isoforms with caveolin-3. A cellular model of hypoxic preconditioning from adult rat cardiac myocytes (ARCM) or H9c2 cells was employed to examine PKC isoforms by molecular, biochemical and cellular imaging analysis. Hypoxia was induced by incubating the cells in an airtight chamber in which O2 was replaced by N2 with glucose-free Tyrode's solution. Cells were subjected to hypoxic preconditioning with 10 minutes of hypoxia followed by 30 minutes of reoxygenation. Western blot data indicated that the band intensity for PKCε, PKCδ or PKCα, but not PKCβ and PKCζ was enhanced significantly by hypoxic preconditioning from the caveolin-enriched plasma membrane interactions. Immunoprecipitation experiments from the caveolin-enriched membrane fractions of ARCM showed that the level of PKCε, PKCδ and PKCα in the anti-caveolin-3 immunoprecipitates was also increased by hypoxic preconditioning. Further, our FRET analysis in H9c2 cells suggested that there is a minimum FRET signal for caveolin-3 and PKCε along cell peripherals, but hypoxic preconditioning enhanced the FRET signal, indicating a potential interaction between caveolin-3 and PKCε. And also treatment of the cells with hypoxic preconditioning led to a smaller amount of translocation of PKCε to the mitochondria than that to the membrane. We demonstrate that hypoxic preconditioning promotes rapid association of PKCε, PKCδ and PKCα with the caveolin-enriched plasma membrane microdomain of cardiac myocytes, and PKCε via direct molecular interaction with caveolin-3. This regulatory mechanism may play an important role in cardioprotection.

Abstract
Both β adrenergic and muscarinic receptor stimulation independently potentiate arrhythmogenesis. However, the effect of simultaneous stimulation on arrhythmogenesis is not well known. The purpose of this study was to determine the temporal response of arrhythmia risk to individual and combined autonomic agonists. Guinea pig hearts were excised and Langendorff-perfused. The β adrenergic receptor and muscarinic receptor agonists were isoproterenol (ISO, 0.6 μM) and acetylcholine (ACh, 10 μM), respectively. All measurements with agonists occurred over 21 min. ISO induced ectopic activity for the first 8 min. ISO also transiently shortened and then prolonged R-R interval over a similar time course. ACh added after ISO transiently induced ectopic activity for 12 min, while R-R interval invariantly prolonged. ACh alone produced few ectopic beats, while invariantly prolonging R-R interval. In contrast to ISO alone, ISO following ACh significantly increased ectopic activity and shortened R-R interval for the duration of the experiment. Animals aged 17–19 months exhibited sustained arrhythmogenesis while those aged 11–14 did not. When ACh was removed in older hearts while ISO perfused, a transient increase in ectopic activity and decreased R-R interval was observed, similar to ISO alone. These data suggest that pre-treating with and maintaining ACh perfusion can sustain ISO sensitivity, in contrast to ISO perfusion alone.

Abstract
Principal Findings HEK293 cells stably expressing PTX-insensitive δ-opioid receptor-Gi1α (C351I) fusion protein were homogenized, treated with low concentrations of non-ionic detergent Brij-58 at 0°C and fractionated by flotation in sucrose density gradient. In optimum range of detergent concentrations (0.025–0.05% w/v), Brij-58-treated, low-density membranes exhibited 2-3-fold higher efficacy of DADLE-stimulated, high-affinity [32P]GTPase and [35S]GTPγS binding than membranes of the same density prepared in the absence of detergent. The potency of agonist DADLE response was significantly decreased. At high detergent concentrations (>0.1%), the functional coupling between δ-opioid receptors and G proteins was completely diminished. The same detergent effects were measured in plasma membranes isolated from PTX-treated cells. Therefore, the effect of Brij-58 on δ-opioid receptor-G protein coupling was not restricted to the covalently bound Gi1α within δ-opioid receptor-Gi1α fusion protein, but it was also valid for PTX-sensitive G proteins of Gi/Go family endogenously expressed in HEK293 cells. Characterization of the direct effect of Brij-58 on the hydrophobic interior of isolated plasma membranes by steady-state anisotropy of diphenylhexatriene (DPH) fluorescence indicated a marked increase of membrane fluidity. The time-resolved analysis of decay of DPH fluorescence by the “wobble in cone” model of DPH motion in the membrane indicated that the exposure to the increasing concentrations of Brij-58 led to a decreased order and higher motional freedom of the dye. Summary Limited perturbation of plasma membrane integrity by low concentrations of non-ionic detergent Brij-58 results in alteration of δ-OR-G protein coupling. Maximum G protein-response to agonist stimulation (efficacy) is increased; affinity of response (potency) is decreased. The total degradation plasma membrane structure at high detergent concentrations results in diminution of functional coupling between δ-opioid receptors and G proteins.

Abstract
Caveolae are specialized plasma membrane subdomains with distinct lipid and protein compositions, which play an essential role in cell physiology through regulation of trafficking and signaling functions. The structure and functions of caveolae have been shown to require the proteins caveolins. Recently, members of the cavin protein family were found to be required, in concert with caveolins, for the formation and function of caveolae. Caveolins have a paradoxical role in the development of cancer formation. They have been involved in both tumor suppression and oncogenesis, depending on tumor type and progress stage. High expression of caveolins and cavins leads to inhibition of cancer-related pathways, such as growth factor signaling pathways. However, certain cancer cells that express caveolins and cavins have been shown to be more aggressive and metastatic because of their increased potential for anchorage-independent growth. Here, we will survey the functional roles of caveolins and of different cavin family members in cancer regulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Via the hepatocyte growth factor receptor (Met), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) exerts key roles involving skeletal muscle development and regeneration. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are critical modulators of HGF activity, but the role of specific HSPGs in HGF regulation is poorly understood. Glypican-1 is the only HSPG expressed in myoblasts that localize in lipid raft membrane domains, controlling cell responses to extracellular stimuli. We determined if glypican-1 in these domains is necessary to stabilize the HGF-Met signaling complex and myoblast response to HGF. METHODS C2C12 myoblasts and a derived clone (C6) with low glypican-1 expression were used as an experimental model. The activation of Met, ERK1/2 and AKT in response to HGF was evaluated. The distribution of Met and its activated form in lipid raft domains, as well as its dependence on glypican-1, were characterized by sucrose density gradient fractionation in both cell types. Rescue experiments reexpressing glypican-1 or a chimeric glypican-1 fused to the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of mouse syndecan-1 or myoblast pretreatment with MβCD were conducted. In vitro and in vivo myoblast migration assays in response to HGF were also performed. RESULTS Glypican-1 localization in membrane raft domains was required for a maximum cell response to HGF. It stabilized Met and HGF in lipid raft domains, forming a signaling complex where the active phospho-Met receptor was concentrated. Glypican-1 also stabilized CD44 in a HGF-dependent manner. In addition, glypican-1 was required for in vitro and in vivo HGF-dependent myoblast migration. CONCLUSIONS Glypican-1 is a regulator of HGF-dependent signaling via Met in lipid raft domains.

Abstract
Large number of extracellular signals is received by plasma membrane receptors which, upon activation, transduce information into the target cell interior via trimeric G-proteins (GPCRs) and induce activation or inhibition of adenylyl cyclase enzyme activity (AC). Receptors for opioid drugs such as morphine (μ-OR, δ-OR and κ-OR) belong to rhodopsin family of GPCRs. Our recent results indicated a specific up-regulation of AC I (8-fold) and AC II (2.5-fold) in plasma membranes (PM) isolated from rat brain cortex exposed to increasing doses of morphine (10-50 mg/kg) for 10 days. Increase of ACI and ACII represented the specific effect as the amount of ACIII-ACIX, prototypical PM marker Na, K-ATPase and trimeric G-protein α and β subunits was unchanged. The up-regulation of ACI and ACII faded away after 20 days since the last dose of morphine. Proteomic analysis of these PM indicated that the brain cortex of morphine-treated animals cannot be regarded as being adapted to this drug because significant up-regulation of proteins functionally related to oxidative stress and alteration of brain energy metabolism occurred. The number of δ-OR was increased 2-fold and their sensitivity to monovalent cations was altered. Characterization of δ-OR-G-protein coupling in model HEK293 cell line indicated high ability of lithium to support affinity of δ-OR response to agonist stimulation. Our studies of PM structure and function in context with desensitization of GPCRs action were extended by data indicating participation of cholesterol-enriched membrane domains in agonist-specific internalization of δ-OR. In HEK293 cells stably expressing δ-OR-Gi1α fusion protein, depletion of PM cholesterol was associated with the decrease in affinity of G-protein response to agonist stimulation, whereas maximum response was unchanged. Hydrophobic interior of isolated PM became more “fluid”, chaotically organized and accessible to water molecules. Validity of this conclusion was supported by the analysis of an immediate PM environment of cholesterol molecules in living δ-OR-Gi1α-HEK293 cells by fluorescent probes 22- and 25-NBD-cholesterol. The alteration of plasma membrane structure by cholesterol depletion made the membrane more hydrated. Understanding of the positive and negative feedback regulatory loops among different OR-initiated signaling cascades (µ-, δ-, and κ-OR) is crucial for understanding of the long-term mechanisms of drug addiction as the decrease in functional activity of µ-OR may be compensated by increase of δ-OR and/or κ-OR signaling.

Abstract
![]()
Caveolae are membrane domains that may influence cell
signaling
by sequestering specific proteins such as G-protein-coupled receptors
(GPCRs). While previous reports largely show that Gαq subunits, but not other G-proteins, interact strongly with the caveolae
protein, Caveolin-1 (Cav1), the inclusion of GPCRs in caveolae is
controversial. Here, we have used fluorescence methods to determine
the effect of caveolae on the physical and functional properties of
two GPCRs that have been reported to reside in caveolae, bradykinin
receptor type 2 (B2R), which is coupled to Gαq, and the μ-opioid receptor (μOR), which is coupled
to Gαi. While caveolae do not affect cAMP signals
mediated by μOR, they prolong Ca2+ signals mediated
by B2R. In A10 cells that endogenously express B2R and Cav1, downregulation of Cav1 ablates the prolonged recovery
seen upon bradykinin stimulation in accord with the idea that the
presence of caveolae prolongs Gαq activation. Immunofluorescence
and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies show that
a significant fraction of B2R resides at or close to caveolae
domains while none or very little μOR resides in caveolae domains.
The level of FRET between B2R and caveolae is reduced by
downregulation of Gαq or by addition of a peptide
that interferes with Gαq–Caveolin-1 interactions,
suggesting that Gαq promotes localization of B2R to caveolae domains. Our results lead to the suggestion
that Gαq can localize its associated receptors to
caveolae domains to enhance their signals.

Abstract
Sodium-coupled, high-affinity choline transporters (CHTs) are inhibited by 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) [peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻) donor]; ONOO⁻ can be produced from nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species during neurodegeneration. SIN-1 rapidly increases CHT internalization from the cell surface, and this correlates with decreased choline uptake. This study addresses mechanisms by which SIN-1 inhibits CHT function in human neuronal SH-SY5Y cells. Thus, mutant L531A-CHT, which does not constitutively internalize into cells by a clathrin-mediated process, is resistant to SIN-1 effects. This suggests that CHT inhibition is not due to oxidative-nitrosative inactivation of the protein and that decreased levels of cell surface CHT in SIN-1-treated cells is related to alterations in its trafficking and subcellular disposition. Dominant-negative proteins AP180C and dynamin-K44A, which interfere with clathrin-mediated and dynamin-dependent endocytosis, respectively, attenuate CHT inhibition by SIN-1. CHT in both vehicle- and SIN-1-treated cells colocalizes with Rab7, Rab9, and Lamp-1 in late endosomes and lysosomes to a similar extent. Lysosome inhibitors increase choline uptake, suggesting that CHT proteins are normally degraded by lysosomes, and this is not altered by oxidative stress. Unexpectedly, inhibitors of proteasomes, but not lysosomes, attenuate SIN-1-mediated inhibition of choline uptake, indicating that proteasomal degradation plays a role in regulating CHT disposition in SIN-1-treated cells. SIN-1 treatment also enhances CHT ubiquitination. Thus, CHT inhibition in SIN-1-treated cells is mediated by proteasomal degradation, which differs from inhibitory mechanisms for some neurotransmitter transporters under similar conditions. Increased oxidative-nitrosative stress in the microenvironment of cholinergic nerve terminals would diminish cholinergic transmission by reducing choline availability for ACh synthesis.

Abstract
Clathrin-independent trafficking pathways for internalizing G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) remain undefined. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis of receptors including ligand-engaged GPCRs can be very rapid and comprehensive (<10 min). Caveolae-mediated endocytosis of ligands and antibodies has been reported to be much slower in cell culture (≫10 min). Little is known about the role of physiological ligands and specific GPCRs in regulating caveolae trafficking. Here, we find that one receptor for endothelin, ET-B but not ET-A, resides on endothelial cell surfaces in both tissue and cell culture primarily concentrated within caveolae. Reconstituted cell-free budding assays show that endothelins (ETs) induce the fission of caveolae from endothelial plasma membranes purified from rat lungs. Electron microcopy of lung tissue sections and tissue subcellular fractionation both show that endothelin administered intravascularly in rats also induces a significant loss of caveolae at the luminal surface of lung vascular endothelium. Endothelial cells in culture show that ET stimulates very rapid internalization of caveolae and cargo including caveolin, caveolae-targeting antibody, and itself. The ET-B inhibitor BQ788, but not the ET-A inhibitor BQ123, blocks the ET-induced budding of caveolae. Both the pharmacological inhibitor Dynasore and the genetic dominant negative K44A mutant of dynamin prevent this induced budding and internalization of caveolae. Also shRNA lentivirus knockdown of caveolin-1 expression prevents rapid internalization of ET and ET-B. It appears that endothelin can engage ET-B already highly concentrated in caveolae of endothelial cells to induce very rapid caveolae fission and endocytosis. This transport requires active dynamin function. Caveolae trafficking may occur more rapidly than previously documented when it is stimulated by a specific ligand to signaling receptors already located in caveolae before ligand engagement.

Abstract
Endothelial cell nitric-oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS), the enzyme responsible for synthesis of NO in the vasculature, undergoes extensive post-translational modifications that modulate its activity. Here we have identified a novel eNOS interactor, G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase interactor-1 (GIT1), which plays an unexpected role in GPCR stimulated NO signaling. GIT1 interacted with eNOS in the endothelial cell cytoplasm, and this robust association was associated with stimulatory eNOS phosphorylation (Ser(1177)), enzyme activation, and NO synthesis. GIT1 knockdown had the opposite effect. Additionally, GIT1 expression was reduced in sinusoidal endothelial cells after liver injury, consistent with previously described endothelial dysfunction in this disease. Re-expression of GIT1 after liver injury rescued the endothelial phenotype. These data emphasize the role of GPCR signaling partners in eNOS function and have fundamental implications for vascular disorders involving dysregulated eNOS.

Abstract
Knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for the trafficking of neurotransmitter receptors away from the cell surface is of obvious importance in understanding what regulates their expression and function. This chapter will focus on the mechanisms responsible for the internalization and degradation of muscarinic receptors. There are both receptor subtype-specific and cell-type specific differences in muscarinic receptor trafficking. Studies on muscarinic receptor trafficking both in cells in culture and in vivo will be described, and the potential physiological consequences of this trafficking will be discussed.

Abstract
Astrocytes release ATP and glutamate through vesicular exocytosis to mediate neuron-glial interactions. In contrast to exocytosis, the endocytic pathways in astroglial cells are poorly understood. Here, we identify a constitutive endocytic pathway in cultured astrocytes that is dependent on neither clathrin nor dynamin. This dynamin-independent endocytic pathway is regulated by Rab5, an early endosome protein. The endocytosed vesicles show fast transition from early endosomes to late endosomes and lysosomes within a few minutes. Interestingly, this clathrin- and dynamin-independent endocytosis in astrocytes is potently regulated by intracellular Ca(2+). ATP and glutamate greatly enhance the dynamin-independent endocytosis through elevating the intracellular Ca(2+). In addition, amyloid-beta peptide (A beta) also enhances the dynamin-independent endocytosis by inducing Ca(2+) transients in astrocytes. These results demonstrate a novel endocytic pathway in glial cells that is dynamin independent but tightly regulated by intracellular Ca(2+). The regulation by ATP, glutamate, and A beta suggests an important role of the dynamin-independent endocytosis in both physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Caveolae are membrane domains having caveolin-1 (Cav1) as their main structural component. Here, we determined whether Cav1 affects Ca(2+) signaling through the Galpha(q)-phospholipase-Cbeta (PLCbeta) pathway using Fischer rat thyroid cells that lack Cav1 (FRTcav(-)) and a sister line that forms caveolae-like domains due to stable transfection with Cav1 (FRTcav(+)). In the resting state, we found that eCFP-Gbetagamma and Galpha(q)-eYFP are similarly associated in both cell lines by Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Upon stimulation, the amount of FRET between Galpha(q)-eYFP and eCFP-Gbetagamma remains high in FRTcav(-) cells, but decreases almost completely in FRTcav(+) cells, suggesting that Cav1 is increasing the separation between Galpha(q)-Gbetagamma subunits. In FRTcav(-) cells overexpressing PLCbeta, a rapid recovery of Ca(2+) is observed after stimulation. However, FRTcav(+) cells show a sustained level of elevated Ca(2+). FRET and colocalization show specific interactions between Galpha(q) and Cav1 that increase upon stimulation. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy studies show that the mobility of Galpha(q)-eGFP is unaffected by activation in either cell type. The mobility of eGFP-Gbetagamma remains slow in FRTcav(-) cells but increases in FRTcav(+) cells. Together, our data suggest that, upon stimulation, Galpha(q)(GTP) switches from having strong interactions with Gbetagamma to Cav1, thereby releasing Gbetagamma. This prolongs the recombination time for the heterotrimer, thus causing a sustained Ca(2+) signal.

Abstract
Agrin, a factor used by motoneurons to direct acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering at the neuromuscular junction, initiates signal transduction by activating the muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK). However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here, we demonstrated that MuSK became rapidly internalized in response to agrin, which appeared to be required for induced AChR clustering. Moreover, we provided evidence for a role of N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF) in regulating MuSK endocytosis and subsequent signaling in response to agrin stimulation. NSF interacts directly with MuSK with nanomolar affinity, and treatment of muscle cells with the NSF inhibitor N-ethylmaleimide, mutation of NSF, or suppression of NSF expression all inhibited agrin-induced AChR clustering. Furthermore, suppression of NSF expression and NSF mutation attenuate MuSK downstream signaling. Our study reveals a potentially novel mechanism that regulates agrin/MuSK signaling cascade.

Abstract
Muscle cells from human gallbladders (GB) with cholesterol stones (ChS) exhibit a defective contraction, excess cholesterol (Ch) in the plasma membrane, and lower binding of CCK-1 receptors. These abnormalities improved after muscle cells were incubated with Ch-free liposomes that remove the excess Ch from the plasma membrane. The present studies were designed to investigate the role of caveolin-3 proteins (Cav-3) in the pathogenesis of these abnormalities. Muscle cells from GB with ChS exhibit higher Ch levels in the plasma membrane that were mostly localized in caveolae and associated with parallel increases in the expression of Cav-3 in the caveolae compared with that in GB with pigment stones (PS). The overall number of CCK-1 receptors in the plasma membrane was not different between muscle cells from GB with ChS and PS, but they were increased in the caveolae in muscle cells from GB with ChS. Treatment of muscle cells from GB with ChS with a Galpha(i3) protein fragment increased the total binding of CCK-1 receptors (from 8.3 to 11.2%) and muscle contraction induced by CCK-8 (from 11.2 to 17.3% shortening). However, Galpha(q/11) protein fragment had no such effect. Moreover, neither fragment had any effect on muscle cells from GB with PS. We conclude that the defective contraction of muscle cells with excessive Ch levels in the plasma membrane is due to an increased expression of Cav-3 that results in the sequestration of CCK-1 receptors in the caveolae, probably by inhibiting the functions of Galpha(i3) proteins.

Abstract
Caveolae represent an important structural element involved in endothelial signal-transduction. The present study was designed to investigate the role of caveolae in endothelium-dependent relaxation of different vascular beds. Caveolae were disrupted by cholesterol depletion with filipin (4x10(-6) g L(-1)) or methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MCD; 1x10(-3) mol L(-1)) and the effect on endothelium-dependent relaxation was studied in rat aorta, small renal arteries and mesenteric arteries in the absence and presence of L-NMMA. The contribution of NO and EDHF, respectively, to total relaxation in response to acetylcholine (ACh) gradually changed from aorta (71.2+/-6.1% and 28.8+/-6.1%), to renal arteries (48.6+/-6.4% and 51.4+/-6.4%) and to mesenteric arteries (9.1+/-4.0% and 90.9+/-4.1%). Electron microscopy confirmed filipin to decrease the number of endothelial caveolae in all vessels studied. Incubation with filipin inhibited endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by cumulative doses of ACh (3x10(-9)-10(-4) mol L(-1)) in all three vascular beds. In aorta, treatment with either filipin or MCD only inhibited the NO component, whereas in renal artery both NO and EDHF formation were affected. In contrast, in mesenteric arteries, filipin treatment only reduced EDHF formation. Disruption of endothelial caveolae is associated with the impairment of both NO and EDHF in acetylcholine-induced relaxation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Agonists of the M(2) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) increase mRNA for this receptor and mRNA for endothelial and neuronal isoforms of NO synthase (eNOS or nNOS). Here we examine the different signalling pathways involved in such events in rat cardiac atria. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In isolated atria, the effects of carbachol on mRNA for M(2) receptors, eNOS and nNOS were measured along with changes in phosphoinositide (PI) turnover, translocation of protein kinase C (PKC), NOS activity and atrial contractility. KEY RESULTS Carbachol increased mRNA for M(2) receptors, activation of PI turnover, translocation of PKC and NOS activity and decreased atrial contractility. Inhibitors of phospholipase C (PLC), calcium/calmodulin (CaM), NOS and PKC prevented the carbachol-dependent increase in mRNA for M(2) receptors. These inhibitors also attenuated the carbachol induced increase in nNOS- and eNOS-mRNA levels. Inhibition of nNOS shifted the dose response curve of carbachol on contractility to the right, whereas inhibition of eNOS shifted it to the left. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS From our results, activation of M(2) receptors induced nNOS and eNOS expression and activation of NOS up-regulated M(2) receptor gene expression. The signalling pathways involved included stimulation of PI turnover via PLC activation, CaM and PKC. nNOS and eNOS mediated opposing effects on the negative inotropic effect in atria, induced by stimulation of M(2) receptors. These results may contribute to a better understanding of the effects and side effects of cholinomimetic treatment in patients with cardiac neuromyopathy.

Abstract
Clathrin and caveolins are known for their involvement in the internalization of numerous receptors. Here we show that in polarized epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, both the clathrin machinery and caveolins are involved in the endocytosis and delivery to the plasma membrane (PM) of the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR). We initially localized this receptor to the lateral membrane, where it accumulates proximal to the tight junctions. From there it is internalized through the clathrin-mediated pathway. In addition, the receptor may associate on the PM with caveolin (cav) 2 or in intracellular compartments with either cav 2, or monomeric or oligomeric cav 1. Association of the PM M1 mAChR with cav 2 inhibits receptor endocytosis through the clathrin-mediated pathway or retains the receptor in an intracellular compartment. This intracellular association attenuates receptor trafficking. Expression of cav 1 with cav 2 rescues the latter's inhibitory effect. The caveolins stimulate M1 mAChR oligomerization thus maintaining a constant amount of monomeric receptor. These results provide evidence that caveolins play a role in the attenuation of the M1 muscarinic receptor's intracellular trafficking to and from the PM.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are specialized structures on the plasma membrane that have an altered lipid composition as well as links to the cytoskeleton. It has been proposed that these structures are membrane domains in which neurotransmitter signalling might occur through a clustering of receptors and components of receptor-activated signalling cascades. The localization of these proteins in lipid rafts, which is affected by the cytoskeleton, also influences the potency and efficacy of neurotransmitter receptors and transporters. The effect of lipid rafts on neurotransmitter signalling has also been implicated in neurological and psychiatric diseases.

Abstract
Recently, we characterized a novel endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS)-interacting protein, NOSTRIN (for eNOS-trafficking inducer), which decreases eNOS activity upon overexpression and induces translocation of eNOS away from the plasma membrane. Here, we show that NOSTRIN directly binds to caveolin-1, a well-established inhibitor of eNOS. Because this interaction occurs between the N terminus of caveolin (positions 1-61) and the central domain of NOSTRIN (positions 323-434), it allows for independent binding of each of the two proteins to eNOS. Consistently, we were able to demonstrate the existence of a ternary complex of NOSTRIN, eNOS, and caveolin-1 in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-eNOS cells. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), the ternary complex assembles at the plasma membrane upon confluence or thrombin stimulation. In CHO-eNOS cells, NOSTRIN-mediated translocation of eNOS involves caveolin in a process most likely representing caveolar trafficking. Accordingly, trafficking of NOSTRIN/eNOS/caveolin is affected by altering the state of actin filaments or cholesterol levels in the plasma membrane. During caveolar trafficking, NOSTRIN functions as an adaptor to recruit mediators such as dynamin-2 essential for membrane fission. We propose that a ternary complex between NOSTRIN, caveolin-1, and eNOS mediates translocation of eNOS, with important implications for the activity and availability of eNOS in the cell.

Abstract
Many biological functions of heme oxygenase (HO), such as cytoprotection against oxidative stress, vasodilation, neurotransmission in the central or peripheral nervous systems, and anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, or anti-proliferative potential, have been attributed to its enzymatic byproduct carbon monoxide (CO), although roles for biliverdin/bilirubin and iron have also been proposed. In addition to these well-characterized effects, recent findings reveal that HO-derived CO may act as an oxygen sensor and circadian modulator of heme biosynthesis. In lymphocytes, CO may participate in regulatory T cell function. A number of the known signaling effects of CO depend on stimulation of soluble guanylate cyclase and/or activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). Furthermore, modulation of caveolin-1 status may serve as an essential component of certain aspects of CO action, such as growth control. In this review, we summarize recent findings of the beneficial or detrimental effects of endogenous CO with an emphasis on the signaling pathways and downstream targets that trigger the action of this gas.

Abstract
Hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide (HCNP), which derives from phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (also named Raf kinase inhibitor protein), enhances acetylcholine synthesis in the hippocampal medial septal nuclei. It is present in the chromaffin secretory granules of the adrenal cells and under stress is cosecreted with peptide hormones and catecholamines. Using the isolated rat heart perfused according to Langendorff to reveal the cardiotropic action of HCNP on the mammalian heart, we showed that rat HCNP exerts, at concentrations of 5x10(-13) to 10(-6) M, a negative inotropism under basal conditions (left ventricular pressure variations ranging from -8.34+/-0.94% to -21+/-3.5%) and enhances the cholinergic-mediated negative inotropy through direct interaction with G-protein-coupled muscarinic receptor pathway. Under adrenergic stimulation (isoproterenol), the peptide exerts an antiadrenergic action. The analysis of the percentage of rate pressure product variations in terms of EC50 values of isoproterenol alone (-8.5+/-0.3; r2=0.90) and in the presence of rat HCNP at 0.01 nM (-6.9+/-0.36; r2=0.88) revealed a competitive type of antagonism of the peptide. HCNP does not affect either heart rate or coronary pressure. The evidence that HCNP in mammals may play a novel role as an inhibitory cardiac modulator throughout an involvement of the myocardial G-protein-coupled receptor pathway provides new insights regarding the neurohumoral control of heart function under normal and physiopathological conditions.

Abstract
WNK kinases are serine-threonine kinases with an atypical placement of the catalytic lysine. Intronic deletions with increased expression of a ubiquitous long WNK1 transcript cause pseudohypoaldosteronism type 2 (PHA II), characterized by hypertension and hyperkalemia. Here, we report that long WNK1 inhibited ROMK1 by stimulating its endocytosis. Inhibition of ROMK by long WNK1 was synergistic with, but not dependent on, WNK4. A smaller transcript of WNK1 lacking the N-terminal 1-437 amino acids is expressed highly in the kidney. Whether expression of the KS-WNK1 (kidney-specific, KS) is altered in PHA II is not known. We found that KS-WNK1 did not inhibit ROMK1 but reversed the inhibition of ROMK1 caused by long WNK1. Consistent with the lack of inhibition by KS-WNK1, we found that amino acids 1-491 of the long WNK1 were sufficient for inhibiting ROMK. Dietary K(+) restriction decreases ROMK abundance in the renal cortical-collecting ducts by stimulating endocytosis, an adaptative response important for conservation of K(+) during K(+) deficiency. We found that K(+) restriction in rats increased whole-kidney transcript of long WNK1 while decreasing that of KS-WNK1. Thus, KS-WNK1 is a physiological antagonist of long WNK1. Hyperkalemia in PHA II patients with PHA II mutations may be caused, at least partially, by increased expression of long WNK1 with or without decreased expression of KS-WNK1.

Abstract
Nitric oxide synthases (NOS) are the enzymes responsible for nitric oxide (NO) generation. To date, 3 distinct NOS isoforms have been identified: neuronal NOS (NOS1), inducible NOS (NOS2), and endothelial NOS (NOS3). Biochemically, NOS consists of a flavin-containing reductase domain, a heme-containing oxygenase domain, and regulatory sites. NOS catalyse an overall 5-electron oxidation of one Nomega-atom of the guanidino group of L-arginine to form NO and L-citrulline. NO exerts a plethora of biological effects in the cardiovascular system. The basal formation of NO in mitochondria by a mitochondrial NOS seems to be one of the main regulators of cellular respiration, mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and transmembrane proton gradient. This review focuses on recent advances in the understanding of the role of enzyme and enzyme-independent NO formation, regulation of NO bioactivity, new aspects of NO on cardiac function and morphology, and the clinical impact and perspectives of these recent advances in our knowledge on NO-related pathways.

Abstract
Sphingolipid and cholesterol-rich liquid ordered lipid domains (lipid rafts) have been studied in both eukaryotic cells and model membranes. However, while the coexistence of ordered and disordered liquid phases can now be easily demonstrated in model membranes, the situation in cell membranes remains ambiguous. Unlike the usual situation in model membranes, under most conditions, cell membranes rich in sphingolipid and cholesterol may have a "granular" organization in which the size of ordered and/or disordered domains is extremely small and domains may be of borderline stability. This review attempts to explain the origin of the divergence between of our understanding of rafts in model membranes and in cells, and how the physical properties of model membranes can help explain many of the ambiguities concerning raft formation and properties in cells. How physical principles of ordered domain formation relate to limitations of detergent insolubility and cholesterol depletion methods used to infer the presence of rafts in cells is also discussed. Possible modifications of these techniques that may increase their reliability are considered. It will be necessary to study model membrane systems more closely approximating cell membranes in order gain a complete understanding of raft properties in cells. Very high concentrations of membrane cholesterol and proteins may explain key physical characteristics of domains in cellular membranes, and are the two of the most obvious factors requiring additional study.

Abstract
A growing body of data indicates that multiple signal transduction events in the heart occur via plasma membrane receptors located in signaling microdomains. Lipid rafts, enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids, form one such microdomain along with a subset of lipid rafts, caveolae, enriched in the protein caveolin. In the heart, a key caveolin is caveolin-3, whose scaffolding domain is thought to serve as an anchor for other proteins. In spite of the original morphologic definition of caveolae ("little caves"), most work related to their role in compartmenting signal transduction molecules has involved subcellular fractionation or immunoprecipitation with anti-caveolin antibodies. Use of such approaches has documented that several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), and their cognate heterotrimeric G proteins and effectors, localize to lipid rafts/caveolae in neonatal cardiac myocytes. Our recent findings support the view that adult cardiac myocytes appear to have different patterns of localization of such components compared to neonatal myocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. Such results imply the existence of multiple subcellular microdomains for GPCR-mediated signal transduction in cardiac myocytes, in particular adult myocytes, and raise a major unanswered question: what are the precise mechanism(s) that determine co-localization of GPCR and post-receptor components with lipid rafts/caveolae in cardiac myocytes and other cell types?

Abstract
This study tests the hypothesis that G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling components involved in the regulation of adenylyl cyclase (AC) localize with caveolin (Cav), a protein marker for caveolae, in both cell-surface and intracellular membrane regions. Using sucrose density fractionation of adult cardiac myocytes, we detected Cav-3 in both buoyant membrane fractions (BF) and heavy/non-buoyant fractions (HF); beta2-adrenergic receptors (AR) in BF; and AC5/6, beta1-AR, M4-muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR), mu-opioid receptors, and Galpha(s) in both BF and HF. In contrast, M2-mAChR, Galpha(i3), and Galpha(i2) were found only in HF. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed co-localization of Cav-3 with AC5/6, Galpha(s), beta2-AR, and mu-opioid receptors in both sarcolemmal and intracellular membranes, whereas M2-mAChR were detected only intracellularly. Immunofluorescence of adult heart revealed a distribution of Cav-3 identical to that in isolated adult cardiac myocytes. Upon immunoelectron microscopy, Cav-3 co-localized with AC5/6 and Galpha(s) in sarcolemmal and intracellular vesicles, the latter closely allied with T-tubules. Cav-3 immunoprecipitates possessed components that were necessary and sufficient for GPCR agonist-promoted stimulation and inhibition of cAMP formation. The distribution of GPCR, G-proteins, and AC with Cav-3 in both sarcolemmal and intracellular T-tubule-associated regions indicates the existence of multiple Cav-3-localized cellular microdomains for signaling by hormones and drugs in the heart.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence supports the idea that the plasma membrane bilayer is characterized by a laterally inhomogeneous mixture of lipids, having an organized structure in which lipid molecules segregate into small domains or patches. Such microdomains are characterized by high contents of sphingolipids that form thicker liquid-ordered regions that are resistant to extraction with nonionic detergents. The existence of lipid lateral segregation has been demonstrated in both model and biological membranes, although its role in protein sorting and membrane function still remains unclear. In these studies, plasmon-waveguide resonance (PWR) spectroscopy was employed to investigate the properties of microdomains in a model system consisting of a solid-supported lipid bilayer composed of a 1:1 mixture of palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) and brain sphingomyelin (SM), and their influence on the partitioning and functioning of the human delta opioid receptor (hDOR), a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR). Resonance signals corresponding to two microdomains (POPC-rich and SM-rich) were observed in such bilayers, and the sorting of the receptor into each domain was highly dependent on the type of ligand that was bound. When no ligand was bound, the receptor was incorporated preferentially into the POPC-rich domain; when an agonist or antagonist was bound, the receptor was incorporated preferentially into the SM-rich component, although with a 2-fold greater propensity for this microdomain in the case of the agonist. Binding of G-protein to the agonist-bound receptor in the SM-rich domain occurred with a 30-fold higher affinity than binding to the receptor in the PC-rich domain. The binding of the agonist to an unliganded receptor in the bilayer produced receptor trafficking from the PC-rich to the SM-rich component. Since the SM-rich domain is thicker than the PC-rich domain, and previous studies with the hDOR have shown that the receptor is elongated upon agonist activation, we propose that hydrophobic matching between the receptor and the lipid is a driving force for receptor trafficking to the SM-rich component.

Abstract
The mammalian heart expresses all three isoforms of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) in diverse cell types of the myocardium. Despite their apparent promiscuity, the NOS isoforms support specific signaling because of their subcellular compartmentation with colocalized effectors and limited diffusibility of NO in muscle cells. eNOS and nNOS sustain normal EC coupling and contribute to the early and late phases of the Frank-Starling mechanism of the heart. They also attenuate the beta1-/beta2-adrenergic increase in inotropy and chronotropy, and reinforce the pre- and post-synaptic vagal control of cardiac contraction. By doing so, the NOS protect the heart against excessive stimulation by catecholamines, just as an "endogenous beta-blocker". In the ischemic and failing myocardium, induced iNOS further reinforces this effect, as does eNOS coupled to overexpressed beta3-adrenoceptors. nNOS expression also increases in the aging and infarcted heart, but its role (compensatory or deleterious) is less clear. In addition to their direct regulation of contractility, the NOS modulate oxygen consumption, substrate utilization, sensitivity to apoptosis, hypertrophy and regenerative potential, all of which illustrate the pleiotropic effects of this radical on the cardiac cell biology.

Abstract
A blunted baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), impaired heart rate variability (HRV), and high plasma nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) are predictors of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that elevation of NEFA negatively impacts the cardiac baroreflex response and undertook spectral analyses and molecular studies to delineate the mechanism of action. We used two interventions to elevate serum NEFA: 1) overnight fasting (n = 7) and 2) i.v. infusion of 1.2 ml/kg intralipid 20% + heparin (I/H) over 10 min (n = 9) in conscious unrestrained male rats. Elevated NEFA caused by fasting complemented by I/H infusion were associated with a concentration-dependent reduction in spontaneous BRS measured by spectral analysis [low-frequency alpha and high-frequency alpha (HFalpha) indices] and sequence method and HRV measured by frequency domain as power of RR interval (RRI) spectra (low-frequency RRI and high-frequency RRI) and by time domain as standard deviation of beat-to-beat interval and root mean square of successive differences along with increase in blood pressure variability measured as standard deviation of mean arterial pressure and power of systolic arterial pressure spectra (low-frequency systolic arterial pressure). Because elevated NEFA suppressed the vagal component of the baroreflex response (HFalpha), we tested the hypothesis that NEFA-evoked sequestration of myocardial muscarinic receptor (M2-mAChR) contributes to the reduced BRS. High NEFA level was accompanied by increased caveolar sequestration of cardiac M2-mAChRs without changing M2-mAChR protein expression. We report the first detailed analyses of NEFA's effect on the cardiac baroreflex and show that increased caveolar sequestration of cardiac M2-mAChRs constitutes a cellular mechanism for elevated NEFA-related deleterious cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
Background Recent studies indicate that the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling machinery can serve as a direct target of reactive oxygen species, including nitric oxide (NO) and S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs). To gain a broader view into the way that receptor-dependent G protein activation – an early step in signal transduction – might be affected by RSNOs, we have studied several receptors coupling to the Gi family of G proteins in their native cellular environment using the powerful functional approach of [35S]GTPγS autoradiography with brain cryostat sections in combination with classical G protein activation assays. Results We demonstrate that RSNOs, like S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and S-nitrosocysteine (CysNO), can modulate GPCR signaling via reversible, thiol-sensitive mechanisms probably involving S-nitrosylation. RSNOs are capable of very targeted regulation, as they potentiate the signaling of some receptors (exemplified by the M2/M4 muscarinic cholinergic receptors), inhibit others (P2Y12 purinergic, LPA1lysophosphatidic acid, and cannabinoid CB1 receptors), but may only marginally affect signaling of others, such as adenosine A1, μ-opioid, and opiate related receptors. Amplification of M2/M4 muscarinic responses is explained by an accelerated rate of guanine nucleotide exchange, as well as an increased number of high-affinity [35S]GTPγS binding sites available for the agonist-activated receptor. GSNO amplified human M4 receptor signaling also under heterologous expression in CHO cells, but the effect diminished with increasing constitutive receptor activity. RSNOs markedly inhibited P2Y12 receptor signaling in native tissues (rat brain and human platelets), but failed to affect human P2Y12 receptor signaling under heterologous expression in CHO cells, indicating that the native cellular signaling partners, rather than the P2Y12 receptor protein, act as a molecular target for this action. Conclusion These in vitro studies show for the first time in a broader general context that RSNOs are capable of modulating GPCR signaling in a reversible and highly receptor-specific manner. Given that the enzymatic machinery responsible for endogenous NO production is located in close proximity with the GPCR signaling complex, especially with that for several receptors whose signaling is shown here to be modulated by exogenous RSNOs, our data suggest that GPCR signaling in vivo is likely to be subject to substantial, and highly receptor-specific modulation by NO-derived RSNOs.

Abstract
beta-Arrestins regulate the functioning of G protein-coupled receptors in a variety of cellular processes including receptor-mediated endocytosis and activation of signaling molecules such as ERK. A key event in these processes is the G protein-coupled receptor-mediated recruitment of beta-arrestins to the plasma membrane. However, despite extensive knowledge in this field, it is still disputable whether activation of signaling pathways via beta-arrestin recruitment entails paired activation of receptor dimers. To address this question, we investigated the ability of different muscarinic receptor dimers to recruit beta-arrestin-1 using both co-immunoprecipitation and fluorescence microscopy in COS-7 cells. Experimentally, we first made use of a mutated muscarinic M(3) receptor, which is deleted in most of the third intracellular loop (M(3)-short). Although still capable of activating phospholipase C, this receptor loses almost completely the ability to recruit beta-arrestin-1 following carbachol stimulation in COS-7 cells. Subsequently, M(3)-short was co-expressed with the M(3) receptor. Under these conditions, the M(3)/M(3)-short heterodimer could not recruit beta-arrestin-1 to the plasma membrane, even though the control M(3)/M(3) homodimer could. We next tested the ability of chimeric adrenergic muscarinic alpha(2)/M(3) and M(3)/alpha(2) heterodimeric receptors to co-immunoprecipitate with beta-arrestin-1 following stimulation with adrenergic and muscarinic agonists. beta-Arrestin-1 co-immunoprecipitation could be induced only when carbachol or clonidine were given together and not when the two agonists were supplied separately. Finally, we tested the reciprocal influence that each receptor may exert on the M(2)/M(3) heterodimer to recruit beta-arrestin-1. Remarkably, we observed that M(2)/M(3) heterodimers recruit significantly greater amounts of beta-arrestin-1 than their respective M(3)/M(3) or M(2)/M(2) homodimers. Altogether, these findings provide strong evidence in favor of the view that binding of beta-arrestin-1 to muscarinic M(3) receptors requires paired stimulation of two receptor components within the same receptor dimer.

Abstract
Extraneuronal acetylcholine (ACh) has been demonstrated to influence a plethora of cutaneous cell functions in an autocrine, paracrine and endocrine fashion. Through the differentiation-specific expression of its different nicotinic (nACh-R) and muscarinic (mACh-R) receptors, ACh acts upon keratinocyte proliferation and migration, terminal differentiation and barrier formation, sweat and sebum secretion as well as microcirculation and angiogenesis. Only very recently it has been recognized that acetylcholinesterase, but not cholineacetyltransferase, activity is regulated by hydrogen peroxide. Considering that the outer layer of the human skin can be a target for UV-generated H2O2 in the millimolar range, this mechanism needs to be taken into account for the regulation of ACh homeostasis in skin biology. Consequently, ACh can accumulate, as shown, for example, in the depigmentation process in vitiligo. There is a highly regulated distribution of ACh-R in human epidermis and adnexal structures, supporting previously observed effects of cholinergic compounds on keratinocyte biology. Most significantly, the regulated expression of ACh-R in sebaceous glands advocates a role for ACh in sebum production and as a promoter of sebocyte differentiation, thus offering an explanation for skin diseases associated with altered sebum production after chronic nicotine exposure. So far, ACh-induced sweat production has been thought to be under the exclusive control of mACh-R. However, recently, the presence of both different nACh-R and mACh-R in myoepithelial and acinar cells of eccrine sweat glands has been documented, indicating a more complex regulation of sweat production and expulsion.

Abstract
Caveolae were initially described some 50 years ago. For many decades, they remained predominantly of interest to structural biologists. The identification of a molecular marker for these domains, caveolin, combined with the possibility to isolate such cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich regions as detergent-insoluble membrane complexes paved the way to more rigorous characterization of composition, regulation, and function. Experiments with knock-out mice for the caveolin genes clearly demonstrate the importance of caveolin-1 and -3 in formation of caveolae. Nonetheless, detergent-insoluble domains are also found in cells lacking caveolin expression and are referred to here as lipid rafts. Caveolae and lipid rafts were shown to represent membrane compartments enriched in a large number of signaling molecules whose structural integrity is essential for many signaling processes. Caveolin-1 is an essential structural component of cell surface caveolae, important for regulating trafficking and mobility of these vesicles. In addition, caveolin-1 is found at many other intracellular locations. Variations in subcellular localization are paralleled by a plethora of ascribed functions for this protein. Here, more recent data addressing the role of caveolin-1 in cellular signaling and the development of diseases like cancer will be preferentially discussed.

Abstract
In this study we characterized the heterologous desensitization and internalization of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) splice variants mGluR1a and mGluR1b following activation of endogenous G(q/11)-coupled receptors in HEK293 cells. Agonist activation of M1 muscarinic acetylcholine or P2Y1 purinergic receptors triggered the PKC- and CaMKII-dependent internalization of mGluR1a. In co-immunoprecipitation studies, both glutamate and carbachol increased the association of GRK2 with mGluR1a. Co-addition of the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor GF109203X and the Ca(2+) calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) inhibitor KN-93 blocked the ability of glutamate and carbachol to increase the association of GRK2 with mGluR1a. Glutamate also increased the association of GRK2 with mGluR1b, whereas carbachol did not. However, unlike mGluR1a, glutamate-stimulated association of GRK2 with mGluR1b was not reduced by PKC/CaMKII inhibition. Pretreatment of cells expressing mGluR1a or mGluR1b with carbachol rapidly desensitized subsequent glutamate-stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation. The carbachol-induced heterologous desensitization and internalization of mGluR1a was blocked by LY367385, an mGluR1a antagonist with inverse agonist activity. Furthermore, LY367385 blocked the ability of carbachol to increase the association of GRK2 with mGluR1a. On the other hand, LY367385 had no effect on the carbachol-induced desensitization and internalization of the nonconstitutively active mGluR1b splice variant. These results demonstrate that the internalization of mGluR1a, triggered homologously by glutamate or heterologously by carbachol, is PKC/CaMKII-, GRK2-, arrestin-, and clathrin-dependent and that PKC/CaMKII activation appears to be necessary for GRK2 to associate with mGluR1a. Furthermore, the heterologous desensitization of mGluR1a is dependent upon the splice variant being in an active conformation.

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.

Long-term agonist stimulation of IP prostanoid receptor depletes the cognate G(s)alpha protein in membrane domains but does not change the receptor level.

Abstract
Iloprost (IP) stimulation (1 microM, 2 h) of Flag-epitope-tagged human IP prostanoid receptor (FhIPR) expressed in HEK293 cells resulted in specific decrease of endogenous G(s)alpha protein in detergent-insensitive, caveolin-enriched, membrane domains (DIMs). Receptor protein FhIPR, caveolin, G(i)alpha and GPI-linked, domain markers CD55 and CD59 were unchanged. The same result was obtained in HEK293 cells expressing FhIPR-G(s)alpha fusion protein. The endogenous G(s)alpha decreased, but the level of Flag-hIPR-G(s)alpha protein did not change. The specific depletion of domain-bound pool of G(s)alpha as consequence of iloprost stimulation was also demonstrated in membrane domains prepared according to alkaline treatment plus sonication protocol (detergent-free procedure of Song et al.). Our data further indicated that in control, quiescent cells only a very small amount of IP prostanoid receptor was present in DIMs together with large amount of its cognate G(s)alpha protein. Expressed in quantitative terms, DIMs contained 30-40% of the total cellular amount of G proteins whereas the content of IP prostanoid receptors was 1-3%. The dominant portion (>95%) of FhIPR as well as FhIPR-G(s)alpha was localised in high-density area of the gradient containing detergent-solubilised proteins. FhIPR and FhIPR-G(s)alpha distribution was similar to that of transmembrane plasma membrane (PM) markers (CD147, MHCI, CD29, Tapa1, the alpha subunit of Na,K-ATPase, transmembrane form of CD58 and CD44). All these proteins are known to be fully solubilised by detergent and thus unable to float in density gradient. Our data indicate that (i) long-term agonist stimulation of IP prostanoid receptor is associated with preferential decrease of its cognate G protein G(s)alpha from membrane domains; receptor level is unchanged. (ii) Very small fraction (1-3%) of total cellular amount of receptors is recovered in DIMs together with roughly 40% of G proteins. These data suggest a "supra-stoichiometric" arrangement of G proteins and corresponding receptors in DIMs.

Abstract
Most G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are rapidly internalized upon agonist stimulation. From the large number of studies available to date on receptor endocytosis, substantial differences seem to exist among GPCRs in terms of both the molecular pathways of receptor internalization and the biological significance of this process. The aim of this review is to outline common themes in GPCR endocytosis and to delineate true phenotypic variations, which reflect specific necessities for receptor's function.

Abstract
This chapter reviews how diverse lipid microdomains form in the membrane and partition proteins into different functional units that regulate cell trafficking, signalling and movement. We will concentrate upon five major issues: 1. the diversity of lipid structure that produces diverse microenvironments into which different subsets of proteins partition; 2. why ordered lipid domains exclude proteins, and the conditions required for select subsets of proteins to enter these domains; 3. the coupling of the inner and outer leaflets within ordered microdomains; 4. the effect of ordered lipid domains upon membrane properties including curvature and hydrophobicity that affect membrane fission, fusion and extension of filopodia; 5. the biological effects of these structural constraints; in particular how the properties of these domains combine to provide a very different signalling, trafficking and membrane fusion environment to that found in disordered (fluid mosaic) membrane. In addressing these problems, the review draws upon studies ranging from molecular dynamic modelling of lipid interactions, through physical studies of model membrane systems to structural and biological studies of whole cells, examining in the process problems inherent in visualising and purifying these microdomains. While the diversity of structure and function of ordered lipid microdomains is emphasised, some general roles emerge. In particular, the basis for having quite different, non-interacting ordered lipid domains on the same membrane is evident in the diversity of lipid structure and plays a key role in sorting signalling systems. The exclusion of ordered membrane from coated pits, and hence rapid endocytosis, is suggested to underlie the ability of highly ordered domains to establish stable secondary signalling systems required, for instance, in T cell receptor, insulin and neurotrophin signalling.

Abstract
Interaction of the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) with hormone causes desensitization and internalization. To study the role of the V2R NPxxY motif (which is involved in the clathrin-mediated endocytosis of several other receptors) in this process, we expressed FLAG-tagged wild-type V2R and a Y325F mutant V2R in LLC-PK1a epithelial cells that have low levels of endogenous V2R. Both proteins had a similar apical (35%) and basolateral (65%) membrane distribution. Substitution of Tyr325 with Phe325 prevented ligand-induced internalization of V2R determined by [3H]AVP binding and immunofluorescence but did not prevent ligand binding or signal transduction via adenylyl cyclase. Desensitization and resensitization of the V2R-Y325F mutation occurred independently of internalization. The involvement of clathrin in V2R downregulation was also shown by immunogold electron microscopy. We conclude that the NPxxY motif of the V2R is critically involved in receptor downregulation via clathrin-mediated internalization. However, this motif is not essential for the apical/basolateral sorting and polarized distribution of the V2R in LLC-PK1a cells or for adenylyl cyclase-mediated signal transduction.
