The TGF-β1/p53/PAI-1 Signaling Axis in Vascular Senescence: Role of Caveolin-1. Biomolecules 2019; 9:biom9080341. [PMID: 31382626 PMCID: PMC6723262 DOI: 10.3390/biom9080341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2019] [Revised: 07/31/2019] [Accepted: 08/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Stress-induced premature cellular senescence is a significant factor in the onset of age-dependent disease in the cardiovascular system. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a major TGF-β1/p53 target gene and negative regulator of the plasmin-based pericellular proteolytic cascade, is elevated in arterial plaques, vessel fibrosis, arteriosclerosis, and thrombosis, correlating with increased tissue TGF-β1 levels. Additionally, PAI-1 is necessary and sufficient for the induction of p53-dependent replicative senescence. The mechanism of PAI-1 transcription in senescent cells appears to be dependent on caveolin-1 signaling. Src kinases are upstream effectors of both FAK and caveolin-1 activation as FAKY577,Y861 and caveolin-1Y14 phosphorylation are not detected in TGF-β1-stimulated src family kinase (pp60c-src, Yes, Fyn) triple-deficient (SYF−/−/−) cells. However, restoration of pp60c-src expression in SYF-null cells rescued both caveolin-1Y14 phosphorylation and PAI-1 induction in response to TGF-β1. Furthermore, TGF-β1-initiated Src phosphorylation of caveolin-1Y14 is critical in Rho-ROCK-mediated suppression of the SMAD phosphatase PPM1A maintaining and, accordingly, SMAD2/3-dependent transcription of the PAI-1 gene. Importantly, TGF-β1 failed to induce PAI-1 expression in caveolin-1-null cells, correlating with reductions in both Rho-GTP loading and SMAD2/3 phosphorylation. These findings implicate caveolin-1 in expression controls on specific TGF-β1/p53 responsive growth arrest genes. Indeed, up-regulation of caveolin-1 appears to stall cells in G0/G1 via activation of the p53/p21 cell cycle arrest pathway and restoration of caveolin-1 in caveolin-1-deficient cells rescues TGF-β1 inducibility of the PAI-1 gene. Although the mechanism is unclear, caveolin-1 inhibits p53/MDM2 complex formation resulting in p53 stabilization, induction of p53-target cell cycle arrest genes (including PAI-1), and entrance into premature senescence while stimulating the ATM→p53→p21 pathway. Identification of molecular events underlying senescence-associated PAI-1 expression in response to TGF-β1/src kinase/p53 signaling may provide novel targets for the therapy of cardiovascular disease.

Maternal chronic intermittent hypoxia in rats causes early atherosclerosis with increased expression of Caveolin-1 in offspring. Sleep Breath 2019; 23:1071-1077. [PMID: 30685852 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-019-01781-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2018] [Revised: 01/06/2019] [Accepted: 01/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of our research was to explore the effects of maternal and postpartum chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) exposure on atherosclerosis in adulthood offspring of rats, and the role of Caveolin-1 in the course. METHODS Sixteen rats were assigned to two groups (n = 8), maternal normoxia and CIH group. After delivery, two male pups per litter were selected and breastfed for 1 month, which then randomly received postpartum normoxia or CIH. Thus, 4 groups were created as follows (n = 8): (1) maternal normoxia and postpartum normoxia group, (2) maternal CIH and postpartum normoxia group, (3) maternal CIH and postpartum CIH group, and (4) maternal normoxia and postpartum CIH group. The offspring were weighed at birth and weaning. After the duration of 12-week experiment, morphological changes, the expression of Caveolin-1 and NF-κB p65 in the aorta were detected. RESULTS Maternal CIH resulted in significantly lower body weight and thicker intima (P < 0.001). CIH upregulated the expression of Caveolin-1 and NF-κB p65 significantly (P < 0.01). There was a synergistic effect of maternal and postpartum CIH on the thickening of intima (P < 0.05), also on the expression of Caveolin-1 and NF-κB p65 (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that maternal CIH exposure causes a postpartum catch-up growth and early atherosclerotic changes followed by upregulating Caveolin-1 expression. Besides, maternal CIH enhances the atherosclerotic changes caused by postpartum CIH. Oxidative stress probably implicates in above effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron (Fe) plays a crucial role in several fundamental processes, including erythropoiesis, cellular metabolism, and in cardiovascular disease. The aim of this work was to contribute to a better understanding of the physiology of and recovery from Fe deficiency by studying how fermented milk consumption affects vascular biomarkers during Fe repletion. RESULTS The deleterious cardiovascular biomarkers cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant 1, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), interleukin-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), inhibitor of tissue plasminogen activator 1 total, metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), sE-selectin, and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) decreased after fermented goat milk consumption in groups of fed animals either with normal Fe or Fe overload with respect to rats fed with fermented cow milk. The beneficial cardiovascular biomarkers caveolin-1 and adiponectin were higher in both control and anemic rats fed fermented goat milk either with normal Fe or Fe overload with respect to fermented cow milk. Anemia decreased TIMP-1 in rats fed fermented goat milk with Fe overload, whereas there was increased CTGF and MCP-1 in animals fed fermented cow milk with either normal or Fe overload. In addition, Fe overload increased VEGF. CONCLUSION Fermented goat milk consumption improves hematological status and promotes beneficial metabolic responses, which may attenuate cardiovascular risk factors during anemia recovery and iron overload to lessen the inflammatory response, macrophages activation and atherosclerosis development. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Involvement of CGRP-RCP in the caveolin-1/ERK1/2 signal pathway in the static pressure-induced proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. J Cell Physiol 2018; 233:6910-6920. [PMID: 29741760 DOI: 10.1002/jcp.26582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2017] [Accepted: 03/08/2018] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Previous study suggested that the receptor component protein (RCP), one of the components of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, plays a multiple role in the cellular signal transduction. The study was designed to investigate whether or not the RCP involved in the regulation of caveolin-1/extracellular signal-regulated kinases-1 and -2 (ERK1/2) signal pathway in the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation induced by static pressure. Mouse-derived VSMCs line A10 (A10 VSMCs) was served as project in this experiment. Results showed that the A10 VSMCs viability and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression which were increased by static pressure were inhibited by pretreatment of CGRP. In like manner, the expressions of the decreased-caveolin-1 and the increased-phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) induced by static pressure were significantly reversed by pretreatment of CGRP, respectively. Meanwhile, the expression of RCP was up-regulated by the static pressure. Silence of RCP gene with the small interrupt RNA (siRNA) not only significantly increased A10 VSMC proliferation but also increased the expression of p-ERK1/2 in response to static pressure. When treatment of A10 VSMCs with 120-mmHg static pressure for different time, however, the protein band of caveolin-1 and RCP was the least at time point of 10 min, but the p-ERK1/2 expression was the most maximum. In conclusion, RCP maybe involved in the static pressure-induced A10 VSMCs proliferation by regulation of caveolin-1/ERK1/2 signal pathway.

Downregulation of Cavin-1 Expression via Increasing Caveolin-1 Degradation Prompts the Proliferation and Migration of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Balloon Injury-Induced Neointimal Hyperplasia. J Am Heart Assoc 2017; 6:e005754.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention has been widely used in the treatment of ischemic heart disease, but vascular restenosis is a main limitation of percutaneous coronary intervention. Our previous work reported that caveolin-1 had a key functional role in intimal hyperplasia, whereas whether Cavin-1 (another important caveolae-related protein) was involved is still unknown. Therefore, we will investigate the effect of Cavin-1 on neointimal formation. METHODS AND RESULTS Balloon injury markedly reduced Cavin-1 protein and enhanced ubiquitin protein expression accompanied with neointimal hyperplasia in injured carotid arteries, whereas Cavin-1 mRNA had no change. In cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), Cavin-1 was downregulated after inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide, which was distinctly prevented by pretreatment with proteasome inhibitor MG132 but not by lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine, suggesting that proteasomal degradation resulted in Cavin-1 downregulation. Knockdown of Cavin-1 by local injection of Cavin-1 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) into balloon-injured carotid arteries in vivo promoted neointimal formation. In addition, inhibition or overexpression of Cavin-1 in cultured VSMCs in vitro prompted or suppressed VSMC proliferation and migration via increasing or decreasing extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation and matrix-degrading metalloproteinases-9 activity, respectively. However, under basic conditions, the effect of Cavin-1 on VSMC migration was stronger than on proliferation. Moreover, our results indicated that Cavin-1 regulated caveolin-1 expression via lysosomal degradation pathway. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed the role and the mechanisms of Cavin-1 downregulation in neointimal formation by promoting VSMC proliferation, migration, and synchronously enhancing caveolin-1 lysosomal degradation. Cavin-1 may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of postinjury vascular remodeling.

Abstract
Migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to intimal hyperplasia and other vascular diseases. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) has been recognized as a proliferative inhibitor of VSMCs and is likely to be an important regulator of VSMC migration. The underlying mechanism of pyrogallol on the VSMC migration is not fully understood. This study attempted to dissect the role of Cav-1 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in VSMC migration and to investigate the effect of pyrogallol on VSMC mobility during carotid artery ligation mice. The mRNA expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 was down-regulated in cultured VSMC prepared from Cav-1-deficient (Cav-1 KO) mice whereas MMP-14 expression was up-regulated. Pyrogallol effectively inhibited the migration of Cav-1 KO VSMC by promoting the expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-2. Pyrogallol also inhibited the migration of Cav-1 wild type (WT) VSMC, however, by increasing TIMP-1 expression and repressing MMP-2 activity. In a parallel in vivo study, intra-peritoneal (ip) of pyrogallol to carotid artery ligated mice significantly suppressed intima formation in mice carotid artery. Furthermore, the proMMP-9 activity in pyrogallol-treated mice serum significantly increased from Day 0 to Day 2 and decreased from Day 2 to Day 7 in a time-dependent manner. In addition, WT mice treated with pyrogallol had significantly reduced neointima formation, whereas no differences were observed in Cav-1 knock out (KO) mice. These results suggest that pyrogallol not only inhibited VSMC migration but also effectively diminishes the severity of neointima hyperplasia, implying that pyrogallol possesses potential anti-atherogenic effects for the treatment of vascular diseases.

MURC deficiency in smooth muscle attenuates pulmonary hypertension. Nat Commun 2016; 7:12417. [PMID: 27546070 PMCID: PMC4996946 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms12417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2015] [Accepted: 06/30/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that caveolin-1 (Cav1) is associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension. MURC (also called Cavin-4) is a member of the cavin family, which regulates caveolar formation and functions together with caveolins. Here, we show that hypoxia increased Murc mRNA expression in the mouse lung, and that Murc-null mice exhibited attenuation of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) accompanied by reduced ROCK activity in the lung. Conditional knockout mice lacking Murc in smooth muscle also resist hypoxia-induced PH. MURC regulates the proliferation and migration of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) through Rho/ROCK signalling. Cav1 suppresses RhoA activity in PASMCs, which is reversed by MURC. MURC binds to Cav1 and inhibits the association of Cav1 with the active form of Gα13, resulting in the facilitated association of the active form of Gα13 with p115RhoGEF. These results reveal that MURC has a function in the development of PH through modulating Rho/ROCK signalling. MURC protein regulates the function of caveolae, the small invaginations of the plasma membrane in muscle cells. Here the authors show that by interacting with caveolin proteins, MURC affects RhoA/ROCK signalling and regulates proliferation and migration of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, suggesting a new target in therapy of pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
AIM: To study the genesis of neointima formation in pulmonary hypertension (PH), we investigated the role of caveolin-1 and related proteins.
METHODS: Male Sprague Dawley rats were given monocrotaline (M, 40 mg/kg) or subjected to hypobaric hypoxia (H) to induce PH. Another group was given M and subjected to H to accelerate the disease process (M + H). Right ventricular systolic pressure, right ventricular hypertrophy, lung histology for medial hypertrophy and the presence of neointimal lesions were examined at 2 and 4 wk. The expression of caveolin-1 and its regulatory protein peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ, caveolin-2, proliferative and anti-apoptotic factors (PY-STAT3, p-Erk, Bcl-xL), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and heat shock protein (HSP) 90 in the lungs were analyzed, and the results from M + H group were compared with the controls, M and H groups. Double immunofluorescence technique was used to identify the localization of caveolin-1 in pulmonary arteries in rat lungs and in human PH lung tissue.
RESULTS: In the M + H group, PH was more severe compared with M or H group. In the 4 wk M+H group, several arteries with reduced caveolin-1 expression in endothelial layer coupled with an increased expression in smooth muscle cells (SMC), exhibited neointimal lesions. Neointima was present only in the arteries exhibiting enhanced caveolin-1 expression in SMC. Lung tissue obtained from patients with PH also revealed neointimal lesions only in the arteries exhibiting endothelial caveolin-1 loss accompanied by an increased caveolin-1 expression in SMC. Reduction in eNOS and HSP90 expression was present in the M groups (2 and 4 wk), but not in the M + H groups. In both M groups and in the M + H group at 2 wk, endothelial caveolin-1 loss was accompanied by an increase in PPARγ expression. In the M + H group at 4 wk, increase in caveolin-1 expression was accompanied by a reduction in the PPARγ expression. In the H group, there was neither a loss of endothelial caveolin-1, eNOS or HSP90, nor an increase in SMC caveolin-1 expression; or any alteration in PPARγ expression. Proliferative pathways were activated in all experimental groups.
CONCLUSION: Enhanced caveolin-1 expression in SMC follows extensive endothelial caveolin-1 loss with subsequent neointima formation. Increased caveolin-1 expression in SMC, thus, may be a prelude to neointima formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arteriosclerosis is an independent predictor of increased cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Histologically it is characterized by hypertrophy and fibrosis of the arterial media wall leading to increased arterial stiffness and end-organ damage. Caveolin-1 acts as an intracellular signalling pathway chaperone in human fibrotic and vascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between caveolin-1 (CAV1) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4730751 and arterial stiffness as measured by arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV) in an early-stage CKD cohort and in a cohort with more severe CKD. METHODS Two prospectively maintained patient cohorts with non-dialysis CKD were studied: 144 patients in the Chronic Renal Impairment in Birmingham (CRIB) cohort and 147 patients in the Renal Impairment in Secondary Care (RIISC) cohort, with matched exclusion criteria and DNA sampling availability. At entry to each cohort database, each patient's initial arterial PWV was measured, as well as their anthropomorphic and biochemical data. CAV1 rs4730751 SNP genotyping was performed using Taqman technology. RESULTS The CAV1 rs4730751 SNP CC genotype was associated with lower arterial PWV in both CRIB early stage CKD patients [8.1 versus 8.6 m/s; coefficient -0.780 (-1.412, -0.149); P = 0.016] and RIISC more advanced stage CKD patients [8.7 versus 9.4 m/s; coefficient -0.695 (-1.288, -0.102); P = 0.022]; these relationships held following adjustment for other important confounders. CONCLUSIONS This replicated study suggests potential utility of the studied CAV1 SNP as a genetic biomarker in CKD and a role for CAV1 in the development of arteriosclerosis in this setting. Further studies are warranted to further explore the basic science driving these clinical observations.

Int Immunopharmacol 2014; 24:247-255. [PMID: 25479721 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2014.11.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2014] [Revised: 11/07/2014] [Accepted: 11/10/2014] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Roxithromycin (RXM) expresses anti-asthmatic effects that are separate from its antibiotic activity, but its effects on airway remodeling are still unknown. Here, we evaluated the effects of RXM on airway remodeling and the expression of caveolin-1 and phospho-p42/p44mitogen-activated protein kinase (phospho-p42/p44MAPK) in chronic asthmatic rats. The chronic asthma was induced by ovalbumin/Al(OH)3 sensitization and ovalbumin challenge, RXM (30mg/kg) or dexamethasone (0.5mg/kg) was given before airway challenge initiation. We measured the thickness of bronchial wall and bronchial smooth muscle cell layer to indicate airway remodeling, and caveolin-1 and phospho-p42/p44MAPK expression in lung tissue and airway smooth muscle were detected by immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis, respectively. The results demonstrated that RXM treatment decreased the thickness of bronchial wall and bronchial smooth muscle cell layer, and also downregulated the phospho-p42/p44MAPK expression and upregulated the caveolin-1 expression. The above effects of RXM were similar to dexamethasone. Our results suggested that pretreatment with RXM could suppress airway remodeling and regulate the expression of caveolin-1 and phospho-p42/p44MAPK in chronic asthmatic rats.

Abstract
Much evidence highlights the importance of polyamines for VSMC (vascular smooth muscle cell) proliferation and migration. Cav-1 (caveolin-1) was recently reported to regulate polyamine uptake in intestinal epithelial cells. The aim of the present study was to assess the importance of Cav-1 for VSMC polyamine uptake and its impact on cell proliferation and migration. Cav-1 KO (knockout) mouse aortic cells showed increased polyamine uptake and elevated proliferation and migration compared with WT (wild-type) cells. Both Cav-1 KO and WT cells expressed the smooth muscle differentiation markers SM22 and calponin. Cell-cycle phase distribution analysis revealed a higher proportion of Cav-1 KO than WT cells in the S phase. Cav-1 KO cells were hyper-proliferative in the presence but not in the absence of extracellular polyamines, and, moreover, supplementation with exogenous polyamines promoted proliferation in Cav-1 KO but not in WT cells. Expression of the solute carrier transporters Slc7a1 and Slc43a1 was higher in Cav-1 KO than in WT cells. ODC (ornithine decarboxylase) protein and mRNA expression as well as ODC activity were similar in Cav-1 KO and WT cells showing unaltered synthesis of polyamines in Cav-1 KO cells. Cav-1 was reduced in migrating cells in vitro and in carotid lesions in vivo. Our data show that Cav-1 negatively regulates VSMC polyamine uptake and that the proliferative advantage of Cav-1 KO cells is critically dependent on polyamine uptake. We provide proof-of-principle for targeting Cav-1-regulated polyamine uptake as a strategy to fight unwanted VSMC proliferation as observed in restenosis.

Abstract
Introduction: Aging results in erectile dysfunction that is partially attributed to decreased nitric oxide (NO) and increased free radical generation. Vitamin E enhances endothelial cell function and acts as a free radical scavenger; however, its benefits on erectile function in the elderly are unknown. Aims: The aim of the following study is to determine if Vitamin E alone, or in combination with the phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor sildenafil, may improve erectile function and the NO signaling in a cohort of aged (13-15 month old) rats. Materials and Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 28) were divided based upon age into young (4-5 months old, n = 7) and aged (13-15 months old, n = 21) cohorts. Aged rats were treated with Vitamin E, sildenafil or a combination of both. Penile cavernosal and dorsal nerve tissues were evaluated for neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and caveolin-1 expression. Erectile function was assessed through intra-cavernous pressure (ICP) recordings. Results: nNOS and cavoelin-1 were significantly decreased in aged rats compared with young controls. In aged rats, both Vitamin E and sildenafil partially recovered nNOS expression but when combined, a synergistic elevation in nNOS was observed. The significant decreases in ICP recorded in aged rats were improved with sildenafil; however, Vitamin E did not yield any additional improvements in ICP. Conclusions: Diminished levels of nNOS and caveolin-1 are found in aged rats. When combined with sildenafil, Vitamin E synergistically increased nNOS expression. Since biochemical gains were not realized physiologically, other contributing factors likely exist.

Abstract
SCOPE Diabetes is a critical factor for atherosclerosis, as hyperglycemia induces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration and subsequently contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. This study investigates whether resveratrol plays a regulatory role in the proliferation and migration of VSMCs under high glucose induction to imitate a hyperglycemic condition. METHODS AND RESULTS Resveratrol inhibited the migration of VSMCs in the wound-healing assay and the formation of lamellipodia and filopodia as assessed by atomic force microscopy scanning. Resveratrol suppressed the mRNA expression of c-Src, Rac1, cdc42, IRS-1, MEKK1, MEKK4, and mitogen-activated protein kinase along with the protein levels of c-Src, p-Src, and cdc42 in VSMCs. Resveratrol decreased the level of p-FAK protein under normal glucose conditions. Resveratrol could inhibit the activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and MMP 9 as shown by zymography. Moreover, resveratrol also regulated the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and MMP activities of VSMC migration under the high glucose condition. CONCLUSION The antimigratory effects of resveratrol by reduced MMP expression through the inhibition of Rac1, p-FAK, and lamellipodia formation and the activation of p-AKT and p-ERK1/2 suggest that resveratrol is a potential compound for the treatment of vascular diseases via the regulation of VSMC migration.

Abstract
Caveolae are omega-shaped plasma membrane micro-domains that are abundant in cells of the vascular system. Formation of caveolae depends on caveolin-1 and cavin-1 and lack of either protein leads to loss of caveolae. Mice with caveolin-1 deficiency have dysfunctional blood vessels, but whether absence of cavin-1 similarly leads to vascular dysfunction is not known. Here we addressed this hypothesis using small mesenteric arteries from cavin-1-deficient mice. Cavin-1-reporter staining was intense in mesenteric arteries, brain arterioles and elsewhere in the vascular system, with positive staining of both endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Arterial expression of cavin-1, -2 and -3 was reduced in knockout (KO) arteries as was expression of caveolin-1, -2 and -3. Caveolae were absent in the endothelial and smooth muscle layers of small mesenteric arteries as determined by electron microscopy. Arginase, a negative regulator of nitric oxide production, was elevated in cavin-1 deficient arteries as was contraction in response to the α1-adrenergic agonist cirazoline. Detailed assessment of vascular dimensions revealed increased media thickness and reduced distensibility, arguing that enhanced contraction was due to increased muscle mass. Contrasting with increased α1-adrenergic contraction, myogenic tone was essentially absent and this appeared to be due in part to increased nitric oxide production. Vasomotion was less frequent in the knock-out vessels. In keeping with the opposing influences on arterial resistance of increased agonist-induced contractility and reduced myogenic tone, arterial blood pressure was unchanged in vivo. We conclude that deficiency of cavin-1 affects the function of small arteries, but that opposing influences on arterial resistance balance each other such that systemic blood pressure in unstressed mice is well maintained.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disease with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Despite important advances in the field, the precise mechanisms leading to PH are not yet understood. Main features of PH are loss of vasodilatory response, the activation of proliferative and antiapoptotic pathways leading to pulmonary vascular remodeling and obstruction, elevated pressure and right ventricular hypertrophy, resulting in right ventricular failure and death. Experimental studies suggest that endothelial dysfunction may be the key underlying feature in PH. Caveolin-1, a major protein constituent of caveolae, interacts with several signaling molecules including the ones implicated in PH and modulates them. Disruption and progressive loss of endothelial caveolin-1 with reciprocal activation of proliferative pathways occur before the onset of PH, and the rescue of caveolin-1 inhibits proliferative pathways and attenuates PH. Extensive endothelial damage/loss occurs during the progression of the disease with subsequent enhanced expression of caveolin-1 in smooth muscle cells. This caveolin-1 in smooth muscle cells switches from being an antiproliferative factor to a proproliferative one and participates in cell proliferation and cell migration, possibly leading to irreversible PH. In contrast, the disruption of endothelial caveolin-1 is not observed in the hypoxia-induced PH, a reversible form of PH. However, proliferative pathways are activated in this model, indicating caveolin-1 dysfunction. Thus disruption or dysfunction of endothelial caveolin-1 leads to PH, and the status of caveolin-1 may determine the reversibility versus irreversibility of PH. This article reviews the role of caveolin-1 and cell membrane integrity in the pathogenesis and progression of PH.

Abstract
Endothelial caveolin-1 loss is an important feature of pulmonary hypertension (PH); the rescue of caveolin-1 abrogates experimental PH. Recent studies in human PH suggest that the endothelial caveolin-1 loss is followed by an enhanced expression of caveolin-1 in smooth muscle cells (SMC) with subsequent neointima formation. In order to evaluate caveolin-1 expression in infants with PH, we examined the available clinical histories, hemodynamic data, and the expression of caveolin-1, PECAM-1, vWF, and smooth muscle α-actin in the lung biopsy/autopsy specimens obtained from infants with congenital heart disease (CHD, n = 8) and lung disease (n = 9). In CHD group, PH associated with increased pulmonary blood flow exhibited loss of endothelial caveolin-1 and PECAM-1 in pulmonary arteries; additional vWF loss was associated with enhanced expression of caveolin-1 in SMC. In the absence of PH, increased or decreased pulmonary blood flow did not disrupt endothelial caveolin-1, PECAM-1, or vWF; nor was there any enhanced expression of caveolin-1 in SMC. In Lung Disease + PH group, caveolin-1, PECAM-1, and vWF were well preserved in seven infants, and importantly, SMC in these arteries did not exhibit enhanced caveolin-1 expression. Two infants with associated inflammatory disease exhibited loss of endothelial caveolin-1 and PECAM-1; additional loss of vWF was accompanied by enhanced expression of caveolin-1 in SMC. Thus, associated flow-induced shear stress or inflammation, but not elevated pulmonary artery pressure alone, disrupts endothelial caveolin-1. Subsequent vWF loss, indicative of extensive endothelial damage is associated with enhanced expression of caveolin-1 in SMC, which may worsen the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Monocyte to macrophage differentiation is an essential step in atherogenesis. The structure protein of caveolae, caveolin-1, is increased in primary monocytes after its adhesion to endothelium. We explore the hypothesis that caveolin-1 plays a role in monocyte differentiation to macrophages. METHODS AND RESULTS Both phorbol myristate acetate-induced THP-1 and colony-stimulating factor-induced primary monocyte differentiation was associated with an increase in cellular caveolin-1 expression. Overexpression of caveolin-1 by transfection increased macrophage surface markers and inflammatory genes, whereas caveolin-1 knockdown by small interfering RNA or knockout reduced these. Also, caveolin-1 knockdown inhibited the differentiation-induced nuclear translocation of early growth response 1 (EGR-1) through extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation, further decreased the binding of EGR-1 to CD115 promoter, thus decreasing EGR-1 transcriptional activity. In functional assays, caveolin-1 inhibited transmigration but promoted phagocytosis in the monocyte-macrophage lineage. Decreasing caveolin-1 inhibited the uptake of modified low-density lipoprotein and reduced cellular lipid content. Finally, we showed that caveolin-1 knockout mice displayed less monocyte differentiation than wild-type mice and that EGR-1 transcription activity was also decreased in these mice because of the inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS Caveolin-1 promotes monocyte to macrophage differentiation through the regulation of EGR-1 transcriptional activity, suggesting that phagocytic caveolin-1 may be critical for atherogenesis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a disease of the blood vessel characterized by the development of an arterial occlusion containing lipid and cellular deposits. Caveolae are 50-100 nm cell surface plasma membrane invaginations that are believed to play an important role in the regulation of cellular signaling and transport of molecules among others. These organelles are enriched in sphingolipids and cholesterol and are characterized by the presence of the protein caveolin-1. Caveolin-1 and caveolae are present in most of the cells involved in the development of atherosclerosis. The current literature suggests a rather complex role for caveolin-1 in this disease, with evidence of either pro- or anti-atherogenic functions depending on the cell type examined. In the present chapter, the various roles of caveolae and caveolin-1 in the development of atherosclerosis are examined.

Abstract
Diseases such as asthma are characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness. Enhanced airway smooth muscle (ASM) intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) response to agonist stimulation leading to increased airway constriction has been suggested to contribute to airway hyperresponsiveness. Caveolae are flask-shaped plasma membrane invaginations that express the scaffolding protein caveolin and contain multiple proteins important in [Ca(2+)](i) signaling (e.g., agonist receptors, ion channels). We recently demonstrated that caveolae and caveolin-1 are important in [Ca(2+)](i) regulation in human ASM. Proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-13 modulate [Ca(2+)](i) in ASM. We hypothesized that cytokine upregulation of caveolar signaling in ASM contributes to enhanced agonist-induced [Ca(2+)](i) in inflammation. Enzymatically dissociated human ASM cells were exposed to medium (control), 20 ng/ml TNF-α, or 50 ng/ml IL-13 for 24 h. Caveolae-enriched membrane fractions displayed substantial increase in caveolin-1 and -2 expressions by TNF-α and IL-13. Transfection with caveolin-1-mRed DNA substantially accelerated and increased plasma membrane caveolin-1 expression by TNF-α and to a lesser extent by IL-13. Caveolin-1 enhancement was inhibited by nuclear factor-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors. In fura 2-loaded ASM cells, [Ca(2+)](i) responses to 1 μM ACh, 10 μM histamine, or 10 nM bradykinin were all exaggerated by TNF-α as well as IL-13 exposure. However, disruption of caveolae using caveolin-1 suppression via small-interfering RNA resulted in significant blunting of agonist-induced [Ca(2+)](i) responses of vehicle and TNF-α-exposed cells. These functional data were correlated to the presence of TNFR(1) receptor (but not the IL-4/IL-13 receptor) within caveolae. Overall, these results indicate that caveolin-1 plays an important role in airway inflammation by modulating the effect of specific cytokines on [Ca(2+)](i).

Abstract
Caveolin-1 plays a crucial role in atherosclerosis, which is mainly attributed to its effects on low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) transcytosis. However, caveolin-1 has also been implicated in the regulation of inflammation. We investigated the effects of caveolin-1 deficiency in atherosclerosis with its accompanying changes in plaque- and lymphoid-related immunology and inflammation. Cav1(-/-)Apoe(-/-) mice exhibited a 15-fold reduction in plaque size with plaques containing fewer macrophages, T cells, and neutrophils. Intravital microscopy revealed 83% less leukocyte adhesion to the vessel wall in Cav1(-/-)Apoe(-/-) mice, which could be attributed to reduced endothelial chemokine ligand-2 (CCL-2/MCP-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression. Caveolin-1 deficiency resulted in a 57% increase in regulatory T cells and a 4% decrease in CD4(+) effector T cells in lymphoid organs. Bone marrow transplantations revealed that Cav1(-/-)Apoe(-/-) mice receiving Cav1(+/+)Apoe(-/-) or Cav1(-/-)Apoe(-/-) bone marrow presented 4- to 4.5-fold smaller plaques with no additional phenotypic changes. In contrast, atherosclerosis was not affected in Cav1(+/+) Apoe(-/-) recipients receiving Cav1(-/-)Apoe(-/-) or Cav1(+/+) Apoe(-/-) bone marrow. However, the presence of Cav1(-/-) Apoe(-/-) bone marrow was associated with an anti-inflammatory T-cell profile. Our study reveals that nonhematopoietic caveolin-1 determines plaque size, whereas hematopoietic caveolin-1 regulates lymphoid immune-modulation. However, both are required for phenotypic modulation of plaques.

Abstract
A wide variety of cardiopulmonary and systemic diseases are known to lead to pulmonary hypertension (PH). A number of signaling pathways have been implicated in PH; however, the precise mechanism/s leading to PH is not yet clearly understood. Caveolin-1, a membrane scaffolding protein found in a number of cells including endothelial and smooth muscle cells, has been implicated in PH. Loss of endothelial caveolin-1 is reported in clinical and experimental forms of PH. Caveolin-1, also known as a tumor-suppressor factor, interacts with a number of transducing molecules that reside in or are recruited to caveolae, and it inhibits cell proliferative pathways. Not surprisingly, the rescue of endothelial caveolin-1 has been found not only to inhibit the activation of proliferative pathways but also to attenuate PH. Recently, it has emerged that during the progression of PH, enhanced expression of caveolin-1 occurs in smooth muscle cells, where it facilitates cell proliferation, thus contributing to worsening of the disease. This paper summarizes the cell-specific dual role of caveolin-1 in PH.

Abstract
Caveolae are specialized membrane microdomains expressing the scaffolding protein caveolin-1. We recently demonstrated the presence of caveolae in human airway smooth muscle (ASM) and the contribution of caveolin-1 to intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) regulation. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that caveolin-1 regulates ASM contractility. We examined the role of caveolins in force regulation of porcine ASM under control conditions as well as TNF-α-induced airway inflammation. In porcine ASM strips, exposure to 10 mM methyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD) or 5 μM of the caveolin-1 specific scaffolding domain inhibitor peptide (CSD) resulted in time-dependent decrease in force responses to 1 μM ACh. Overnight exposure to the cytokine TNF-α (50 ng/ml) accelerated and increased caveolin-1 expression and enhanced force responses to ACh. Suppression of caveolin-1 with small interfering RNA mimicked the effects of CD or CSD. Regarding mechanisms by which caveolae contribute to contractile changes, inhibition of MAP kinase with 10 μM PD98059 did not alter control or TNF-α-induced increases in force responses to ACh. However, inhibiting RhoA with 100 μM fasudil or 10 μM Y27632 resulted in significant decreases in force responses, with lesser effects in TNF-α exposed samples. Furthermore, Ca(2+) sensitivity for force generation was substantially reduced by fasudil or Y27632, an effect even more enhanced in the absence of caveolin-1 signaling. Overall, these results indicate that caveolin-1 is a critical player in enhanced ASM contractility with airway inflammation.

Abstract
A metalloprotease, ADAM17, mediates the generation of mature ligands for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This is the key signaling step by which angiotensin II (AngII) induces EGFR transactivation leading to hypertrophy and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, the regulatory mechanism of ADAM17 activity remains largely unclear. Here we hypothesized that caveolin-1 (Cav1), the major structural protein of a caveolae, a membrane microdomain, is involved in the regulation of ADAM17. In cultured VSMCs, infection of adenovirus encoding Cav1 markedly inhibited AngII-induced EGFR ligand shedding, EGFR transactivation, ERK activation, hypertrophy and migration, but not intracellular Ca(2+) elevation. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin and filipin, reagents that disrupt raft structure, both stimulated an EGFR ligand shedding and EGFR transactivation in VSMCs. In addition, non-detergent sucrose gradient membrane fractionations revealed that ADAM17 cofractionated with Cav1 in lipid rafts. These results suggest that lipid rafts and perhaps caveolae provide a negative regulatory environment for EGFR transactivation linked to vascular remodeling induced by AngII. These novel findings may provide important information to target cardiovascular diseases under the enhanced renin angiotensin system.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTH1R) are important regulators of vascular remodeling. PTHrP expression is associated to increased proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). In contrast, signaling via the PTH1R inhibits cell growth. The mechanisms regulating the dual effect of PTHrP and PTH1R on VSMC proliferation are only partially understood. In this study we examined the role of the adaptor protein ezrin-radixin-moesin-binding phosphoprotein (EBP50) on PTH1R expression, trafficking, signaling and control of A10 cell proliferation. In normal rat vascular tissues, EBP50 was restricted to the endothelium with little expression in VSMC. EBP50 expression significantly increased in VSMC following angioplasty in parallel with PTHrP. Interestingly, PTHrP was able to induce EBP50 expression. In the clonal rat aortic smooth muscle cell line A10, EBP50 increased the recruitment of PTH1R to the cell membrane and delayed its internalization in response to PTHrP(1-36). This effect required an intact C-terminal motif in the PTH1R. In naïve A10 cells, PTHrP(1-36) stimulated cAMP production but not intracellular calcium release. In contrast, PTHrP(1-36) induced both cAMP and calcium signaling in A10 cells over-expressing EBP50. Finally, EBP50 attenuated the induction of p27(kip1) and the anti-proliferative effect of PTHrP(1-36). In summary, this study demonstrates the dynamic expression of EBP50 in vessels following injury and the effects of EBP50 on PTH1R function in VSMC. These findings highlight one of the mechanisms leading to increased VSMC proliferation and have important implication in the understanding of the molecular events leading to restenosis.

Abstract
CONTEXT Pendred syndrome is caused by mutations in the gene coding for pendrin, an apical Cl-/I- exchanger. OBJECTIVE To analyze intrathyroidal compensatory mechanisms when pendrin is lacking, we investigated the thyroid of a patient with Pendred syndrome. The expression of proteins involved in thyroid hormone synthesis, markers of oxidative stress (OS), cell proliferation, apoptosis, and antioxidant enzymes were analyzed. RESULTS Three morphological zones were identified: nearly normal follicles with iodine-rich thyroglobulin in the colloid (zone 1.a), small follicles without iodine-rich thyroglobulin in lumina (zone 1.b), and destroyed follicles (zone 2). In zones 1.a, dual oxidase (Duox) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) were localized at the apical pole, OS and cell apoptosis were absent, but ClC-5 expression was strongly increased. In zones 1.b, Duox and TPO were aberrantly present and increased in the cytosol and associated with high OS, apoptosis, cell proliferation, and increased expression of peroxiredoxin-5, catalase, and dehalogenase-1 but moderate ClC-5 expression. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the absence of pendrin is accompanied by increased ClC-5 expression that may transiently compensate for apical iodide efflux. In more affected follicles, Duox and TPO are relocated in the cytosol, leading to abnormal intracellular thyroid hormone synthesis, which results in cell destruction presumably because intracellular OS cannot be buffered by antioxidant defenses.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicated that smoking might directly induce pulmonary vascular remodeling at the initial stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains poorly understood. To investigate the role of cyclin D1 in pulmonary vascular remodeling, we constructed a plasmid-based short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to knock down the expression of cyclin D1 in smoking rats. Specific shRNA against cyclin D1 significantly prevented the cyclin D1 expression and the cell proliferation in rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (rPASMCs). Furthermore, the plasmid-based shRNA successfully decreased the cyclin D1 protein in intra-pulmonary arteries of smoking rats and subsequently decreased the wall thickness of pulmonary vessels and the percentage of muscularized vessels. We conclude that the plasmid-based shRNA against cyclin D1 gene attenuated pulmonary vascular remodeling in smoking rats. Cyclin D1 might play a critical role in cigarette smoke-induced pulmonary vascular remodeling via regulating rPASMCs proliferation.

Abstract
The accumulation of LDL-derived cholesterol in the artery wall is the initiating event that causes atherosclerosis. However, the mechanisms that lead to the initiation of atherosclerosis are still poorly understood. Here, by using endothelial cell-specific transgenesis of the caveolin-1 (Cav-1) gene in mice, we show the critical role of Cav-1 in promoting atherogenesis. Mice were generated lacking Cav-1 and apoE but expressing endothelial-specific Cav-1 in the double knockout background. Genetic ablation of Cav-1 on an apoE knockout background inhibits the progression of atherosclerosis, while re-expression of Cav-1 in the endothelium promotes lesion expansion. Mechanistically, the loss of Cav-1 reduces LDL infiltration into the artery wall, promotes nitric oxide production, and reduces the expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules, effects completely reversed in transgenic mice. In summary, this unique model provides physiological evidence supporting the important role of endothelial Cav-1 expression in regulating the entry of LDL into the vessel wall and the initiation of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Focal adhesions are structural links between the extracellular matrix and actin cytoskeleton. They are important sites where dynamic alterations of proteins in the focal contacts are involved during cell movement. Focal adhesions are composed of diverse molecules, for instance, receptors, structural proteins, adaptors, GTPase, kinases and phosphatases. These molecules play critical roles in normal physiological events such as cellular adhesion, movement, cytoskeletal structure and intracellular signaling pathways. In cancers, aberrant expression and altered functions of focal adhesion proteins contribute to adverse tumor behavior. It is evident that these proteins do not function alone, but rather associate and work together in the process of tumor development and cancer metastasis. Focal adhesion proteins have been shown to play critical roles in hepatocellular carcinoma. Understanding the molecular interactions and mechanisms of the interconnected focal adhesion proteins is of particular importance in understanding mechanisms underlying hepatocellular carcinoma progression and development of potential effective treatment.

Abstract
Caveolae are omega-shaped membrane invaginations present in essentially all cell types in the cardiovascular system, and numerous functions have been ascribed to these structures. Caveolae formation depends on caveolins, cholesterol and polymerase I and transcript release factor-Cavin (PTRF-Cavin). The current review summarizes and critically discusses the cardiovascular phenotypes reported in caveolin-1-deficient mice. Major changes in the structure and function of heart, lung and blood vessels have been documented, suggesting that caveolae play a critical role at the interface between blood and surrounding tissue. According to an emerging paradigm, many of these changes are secondary to uncoupling of endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Thus, nitric oxide synthase not only synthesizes more nitric oxide in the absence of caveolin-1, but also more superoxide with potential pathogenic consequences. It is further argued that the vasodilating drive from increased nitric oxide production in caveolin-1-deficient mice is balanced by changes in the vascular media that favour increased dynamic resistance regulation. Harnessing the therapeutic opportunities buried in caveolae, while challenging, could expand the arsenal of treatment options in cancer, lung disease and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Entry of the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes into host epithelial cells is critical for infection and virulence. One major pathway for Listeria entry involves binding of the bacterial protein Internalin B to the host receptor tyrosine kinase Met (hepatocyte growth factor receptor). Activation of Met and downstream signaling cascades is critical for Listeria entry. Internalin B is composed of several structural domains including an N-terminal leucine-rich repeat that is sufficient for binding Met and stimulating downstream signal transduction. Internalin B is monomeric, whereas the leucine-rich repeat is dimeric when expressed as an isolated fragment. The different quaternary states of Internalin B and the leucine-rich repeat suggest that these two Met ligands might cause distinct biological effects. Here we demonstrate that Internalin B and the leucine-rich repeat fragment exhibit agonist properties that differentially influence Met down-regulation in lysosomes. Specifically, Met stability is increased in response to the leucine-rich repeat fragment compared with Internalin B. Interestingly, Internalin B and the leucine-rich repeat stimulate equivalent rates of clathrin-mediated Met internalization. However, the leucine-rich repeat is defective in promoting lysosomal down-regulation of Met and instead enhances receptor recycling to the cell surface. In addition, the leucine-rich repeat causes prolonged Met activation (phosphorylation) and increased cell motility compared with Internalin B. Taken together, our findings indicate that individual domains of Internalin B differentially regulate Met trafficking. The ability of the leucine-rich repeat fragment to promote Met recycling could account for the increased cell motility induced by this ligand.

The type I IGF receptor also binds to the caveolae protein caveolin-1, but the impact of caveolae on IGF/PI-3K/Akt signalling remains controversial. We have examined the effect of complete (knockout) and partial (knockdown) caveolin-1 deficiency on cellular IGF effects mediated via the PI-3K/Akt pathway. Under basal conditions, caveolin-1-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblast cells [MF(-/-)] incorporated significantly more [3H]thymidine than wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblast cells [MF(+/+)]; however, small hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown of caveolin-1 (80% reduction) in 3T3L1 fibroblasts had no effect on basal proliferation. Interestingly, IGF-I induced proliferation was similar in MF(-/-) and MF(+/+) cells, whereas caveolin-1 knockdown promoted a hyperproliferative response to IGF-I [pkDCav3T3L1(80) 12.4+/-0.4-fold; pkDShuffle3T3L1 4.3+/-0.2-fold induction; P<0.01]. Immunoblot analysis showed that caveolin-1 knockdown had no affect on Akt expression or activation. However, in MF(-/-) cells, IGF-I-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt was reduced despite up-regulated Akt levels. Further investigation demonstrated that caveolin knockout up-regulated Akt-2 and Akt-3 isoform expression, but Akt-1 expression was down-regulated; interestingly, coimmunoprecipitation studies revealed Akt-1 as the predominant isoform to be phosphorylated in response to IGF-I. In summary, caveolin-1 deficiency promotes a hyperproliferative response to IGF-I that is unrelated to Akt expression/activation. However, cells that lack caveolin are able to respond appropriately to IGF-I through compensatory changes in Akt isoform expression. These data posit caveolin-1 as a component of the IGF/PI-3K/Akt signalling modulus regulating cellular proliferation with implications for diseases, including cancers, which have altered caveolin expression.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a critical role in wound healing, in part by promoting angiogenesis. However, the precise repair pathways affected by NO are not well defined. We now show that NO regulates matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) release during wound repair. We find that normally MMP-13 is kept inside endothelial cells by an association with caveolin-1. However, nitration of MMP-13 on tyrosine residue Y338 causes it to dissociate from caveolin-1 and be released from endothelial cells. We next explored the functional significance of MMP-13 nitration in vivo. Skin injury increases nitration of MMP-13 in mice. Skin wounds in inducible nitric oxide synthase knockout mice release less MMP-13 and heal more slowly than skin wounds in wild-type mice. Conversely, skin wounds in caveolin-1 knockout mice have increased NO production, increased MMP-13 nitration, and accelerated wound healing. Collectively, our data reveal a new pathway through which NO modulates wound repair: nitration of MMP-13 promotes its release from endothelial cells, where it accelerates angiogenesis and wound healing.

Abstract
Caveolin-1, an essential scaffold protein of caveolae and cellular transport processes, lately gained recognition as a stage- and tissue-specific tumor modulator in vivo. Patient studies and rodent models corroborated its janus-faced role as a tumor suppressor in non-neoplastic tissue, its down-regulation (loss of function) upon transformation and its re-expression (regain of function) in advanced-stage metastatic and multidrug resistant tumors. This review is focussed on the role of caveolin-1 in metastasis and angiogenesis and its clinical implications as a prognostic marker in cancer progression.

Abstract
Monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in rats is preceded by an inflammatory response, progressive endothelial cell membrane disruption, reduction in the expression of caveolin-1, and reciprocal activation of STAT3 (PY-STAT3). Superoxide and NF-kappaB have been implicated in PAH. To evaluate the role of caveolin-1, PY-STAT3 activation, and superoxide in PAH, MCT-injected rats were treated daily with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC; starting on days 1, 3, and 14 x 2 wk), an inhibitor of inflammation and NF-kappaB activation. Hemodynamic data, the expression of inhibitory (I)-kappaBalpha, caveolin-1, and Tie2 (a membrane protein), activation of PY-STAT3 and NF-kappaB, and superoxide chemiluminescence were examined. Rats developed progressive PAH at 2 wk post-MCT. There was progressive reduction in the expression of caveolin-1, Tie2, and activation of PY-STAT3 in the lungs. Reduction in I-kappaBalpha expression was present at 2 and 4 wk post-MCT. Superoxide chemiluminescence and NF-kappaB activation were observed only at 2 wk post-MCT and both decreased by 4 wk post-MCT despite progressive PAH. PDTC (starting on days 1 and 3) rescued caveolin-1 and Tie2, reversed MCT-induced PY-STAT3 activation, and attenuated PAH. In addition, PDTC restored I-kappaBalpha expression and reduced superoxide chemiluminescence at 2 wk but did not inhibit NF-kappaB activation despite attenuation of PAH. PDTC had no effect on established PAH. Increased superoxide chemiluminescence and NF-kappaB activation appear to be a transient phenomenon in the MCT model. Thus the disruption of endothelial cell membrane integrity resulting in caveolin-1 loss and reciprocal activation of PY-STAT3 plays a key role in the MCT-induced PAH.

Abstract
Migration is a complex process in which cells move in a given direction either in response to changes in the extracellular environment or as a consequence of an intrinsic propensity for directional movement. Migration plays key roles in many physiological and pathological processes, including development, angiogenesis, tissue regeneration and metastasis. An important role in migration is played by caveolin-1 and caveolae. Caveolae compartmentalize intracellular signalling pathways to orchestrate cell migration. Caveolin-1 presents a polarized distribution in migrating cells and is linked to the cytoskeleton, and changes in its expression modulate migration. Although there are some discrepancies regarding the regulatory effect of caveolin-1, most studies show that it promotes cell movement and polarity. The importance of caveolin-1 has recently been reinforced by studies with Cav1(-/-) cells, which indicate that it establishes polarity during directional migration by coordinating Src kinase and Rho GTPase signalling.

Abstract
The role of caveolae in stretch- versus flow-induced vascular responses was investigated using caveolin 1-deficient [knockout (KO)] mice. Portal veins were stretched longitudinally for 5 min (acute) or 72 h (organ culture). Basal ERK1/2 and Akt phosphorylation were increased in organ-cultured KO veins, as were protein synthesis and vessel wall cross sections. Stretch stimulated acute phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and long-term phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and cofilin but did not affect Akt phosphorylation. Protein synthesis, and particularly synthesis of smooth muscle differentiation markers, was increased by stretch. These effects did not differ in portal veins from KO and control mice, which also showed the same contractile response to membrane depolarization and inhibition by the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632. KO carotid arteries had increased wall cross sections and responded to pressurization (120 mmHg) for 1 h with increased ERK1/2 but not Akt phosphorylation, similar to control arteries. Shear stress by flow for 15 min, on the other hand, increased phosphorylation of Akt in carotids from control but not KO mice. In conclusion, caveolin 1 contributes to low basal ERK1/2 and Akt activity and is required for Akt-dependent signals in response to shear stress (flow) but is not essential for trophic effects of stretch (pressure) in the vascular wall.

Abstract
In the normal microvasculature, caveolin-1, the structural protein of caveolae, modulates transcytosis and paracellular permeability. Here, we used caveolin-1-deficient mice (Cav(-/-)) to track the potential active roles of caveolin-1 down-modulation in the regulation of vascular permeability and morphogenesis in tumors. In B16 melanoma-bearing Cav(-/-) mice, we found that fibrinogen accumulated in early-stage tumors to a larger extent than in wild-type animals. These results were confirmed by the observations of a net elevation of the interstitial fluid pressure and a relative deficit in albumin extravasation in Cav(-/-) tumors (versus healthy tissues). Immunostaining analyses of Cav(-/-) tumor sections further revealed a higher density of CD31-positive vascular structures and a dramatic deficit in alpha-smooth muscle actin-stained mural cells. The increase in blood plasma volume in Cav(-/-) tumors was confirmed by dynamic contrast enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging and found to be associated with a more rapid tumor growth. Finally, an in vitro wound test and the aorta ring assay revealed that silencing caveolin expression could directly impair the migration and the outgrowth of smooth muscle cells/pericytes, particularly in response to platelet-derived growth factor. In conclusion, a decrease in caveolin abundance, by promoting angiogenesis and preventing its termination by mural cell recruitment, appears as an important control point for the formation of new tumor blood vessels. Caveolin-1 therefore has the potential to be a marker of tumor vasculature maturity that may help adjusting anticancer therapies.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells exhibit varied responses after vessel injury and surgical interventions, including phenotypic switching, migration, proliferation, protein synthesis, and apoptosis. Although the source of the smooth muscle cells that accumulate in the vascular wall is controversial, possibly reflecting migration from the adventitia, from the circulating blood, or in situ differentiation, the intracellular signal transduction pathways that control these processes are being defined. Some of these pathways include the Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt, Rho, death receptor-caspase, and nitric oxide pathways. Signal transduction pathways provide amplification, redundancy, and control points within the cell and culminate in biologic responses. We review some of the signaling pathways activated within smooth muscle cells that contribute to smooth muscle cell heterogeneity and development of pathology such as restenosis and neointimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
Caveolae transcytosis with its diverse mechanisms-fluid phase, adsorptive, and receptor-mediated-plays an important role in the continuous exchange of molecules across the endothelium. We will discuss key features of endothelial transcytosis and caveolae that have been studied recently and have increased our understanding of caveolae function in transcytosis at the molecular level. During transcytosis, caveolae "pinch off" from the plasma membrane to form discrete vesicular carriers that shuttle to the opposite front of endothelial cells, fuse with the plasma membrane, and discharge their cargo into the perivascular space. Endothelial transcytosis exhibits distinct properties, the most important being rapid and efficient coupling of endocytosis to exocytosis on opposite plasma membrane. We address herein the membrane fusion-fission reactions that underlie transcytosis. Caveolae move across the endothelial cells with their cargo predominantly in the fluid phase through an active process that bypasses the lysosomes. Endothelial transcytosis is a constitutive process of vesicular transport. Recent studies show that transcytosis can be upregulated in response to pathological stimuli. Transcytosis via caveolae is an important route for the regulation of endothelial barrier function and may participate in different vascular diseases.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is essential for the morphology of membrane caveolae and exerts a negative influence on a number of signaling systems, including nitric oxide (NO) production and activity of the MAP kinase cascade. In the vascular system, ablation of caveolin-1 may thus be expected to cause arterial dilatation and increased vessel wall mass (remodeling). This was tested in Cav-1 knockout (KO) mice by a detailed morphometric and functional analysis of mesenteric resistance arteries, shown to lack caveolae. Quantitative morphometry revealed increased media thickness and media-to-lumen ratio in KO. Pressure-induced myogenic tone and flow-induced dilatation were decreased in KO arteries, but both were increased toward wild-type (WT) levels following NO synthase (NOS) inhibition. Isometric force recordings following NOS inhibition showed rightward shifts of passive and active length-force relationships in KO, and the force response to alpha(1)-adrenergic stimulation was increased. In contrast, media thickness and force response of the aorta were unaltered in KO vs. WT, whereas lumen diameter was increased. Mean arterial blood pressure during isoflurane anesthesia was not different in KO vs. WT, but greater fluctuation in blood pressure over time was noted. Following NOS inhibition, fluctuations disappeared and pressure increased twice as much in KO (38 +/- 6%) compared with WT (17 +/- 3%). Tracer-dilution experiments showed increased plasma volume in KO. We conclude that NO affects blood pressure more in Cav-1 KO than in WT mice and that restructuring of resistance vessels and an increased responsiveness to adrenergic stimulation compensate for a decreased tone in Cav-1 KO mice.

Abstract
Development, angiogenesis, wound healing, and metastasis all involve the movement of cells in response to changes in the extracellular environment. To determine whether caveolin-1 plays a role in cell migration, we have used fibroblasts from knockout mice. Caveolin-1–deficient cells lose normal cell polarity, exhibit impaired wound healing, and have decreased Rho and increased Rac and Cdc42 GTPase activities. Directional persistency of migration is lost, and the cells show an impaired response to external directional stimuli. Both Src inactivation and p190RhoGAP knockdown restore the wild-type phenotype to caveolin-1–deficient cells, suggesting that caveolin-1 stimulates normal Rho GTP loading through inactivation of the Src–p190RhoGAP pathway. These findings highlight the importance of caveolin-1 in the establishment of cell polarity during directional migration through coordination of the signaling of Src kinase and Rho GTPases.

Abstract
The role of caveolins, signature proteins of caveolae, in arterial Ca(2+) regulation is unknown. We investigated modulation of Ca(2+) homeostasis by caveolin-1 and caveolin-3 using smooth muscle cells from rat cerebral resistance arteries. Membrane current and Ca(2+) transients were simultaneously measured with voltage-clamped single cells. Membrane depolarization triggered Ca(2+) current and increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). After repolarization, elevated [Ca(2+)](i) returned to the resting level. Ca(2+) removal rate was determined from the declining phase of the Ca(2+) transient. Application of caveolin-1 antibody or caveolin-1 scaffolding domain peptide, corresponding to amino acid residues 82-101 of caveolin-1, significantly slowed Ca(2+) removal rate at a measured [Ca(2+)](i) of 250 nM, with little effect at a measured [Ca(2+)](i) of 600 nM. Application of caveolin-3 antibody or caveolin-3 scaffolding domain peptide, corresponding to amino acid residues 55-74 of caveolin-3, also significantly slowed Ca(2+) removal rate at a measured [Ca(2+)](i) of 250 nM, with little effect at a measured [Ca(2+)](i) of 600 nM. Likewise, application of calmodulin inhibitory peptide, autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide, and cyclosporine A, inhibitors for calmodulin, Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, and calcineurin, also significantly inhibited Ca(2+) removal rate at a measured [Ca(2+)](i) of 250 nM but not at 600 nM. Application of cyclopiazonic acid, a sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase inhibitor, also significantly inhibited Ca(2+) removal rate at a measured [Ca(2+)](i) of 250 nM but not at 600 nM. Our results suggest that caveolin-1 and caveolin-3 are important in Ca(2+) removal of resistance artery smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
We studied the expression of caveolin-1 in the spinal cords of rats using 60Co gamma-ray irradiation (single dose of 8 Gray (Gy)) in order to determine the possible involvement of caveolin-1 in the tissues of the central nervous system after irradiation. Spinal cords sampled at days 1, 4, and 9 post-irradiation (PI) (n = 5 per each time point) were analyzed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Western blot analysis showed that the expression of caveolin-1 was significantly increased at day 1 PI (p < 0.05), and returned to the level of normal control rats on days 4 and 9 PI. Immunohistochemistry showed that caveolin-1 immunoreactivity was enhanced in some glial cells, vascular endothelial cells, and neurons in the spinal cords. The increased expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a marker for an astroglial reaction, was consistent with that of caveolin-1. In addition, caveolin-1 was co-localized in hypertrophied GFAP-positive astrocytes. Taking all these facts into consideration, we postulate that irradiation induces the increased expression of caveolin-1 in cells of the central nervous system, and that its increased expression in astrocytes may contribute to hypertrophy of astrocytes in the spinal cord after irradiation. The precise role of caveolin-1 in the spinal cords should be studied further.
