Abstract
The detection of foreign antigens in vivo has relied on fluorescent conjugation or indirect read-outs such as antigen presentation. In our studies, we found that these widely used techniques had several technical limitations that have precluded a complete picture of antigen trafficking or retention across lymph node cell types. To address these limitations, we developed a 'molecular tracking device' to follow the distribution, acquisition, and retention of antigen in the lymph node. Utilizing an antigen conjugated to a nuclease-resistant DNA tag, acting as a combined antigen-adjuvant conjugate, and single-cell mRNA sequencing, we quantified antigen abundance in the lymph node. Variable antigen levels enabled the identification of caveolar endocytosis as a mechanism of antigen acquisition or retention in lymphatic endothelial cells. Thus, these molecular tracking devices enable new approaches to study dynamic tissue dissemination of antigen-adjuvant conjugates and identify new mechanisms of antigen acquisition and retention at cellular resolution in vivo.

Abstract
Interferon γ (IFNγ) is a pleiotropic protein secreted by immune cells. IFNγ signals through the IFNγ receptor, a protein complex that mediates downstream signaling events. Studies into IFNγ signaling have provided insight into the general concepts of receptor signaling, receptor internalization, regulation of distinct signaling pathways, and transcriptional regulation. Although IFNγ is the central mediator of the adaptive immune response to pathogens, it has been shown to be involved in several non-infectious physiological processes. This review will provide an introduction into IFNγ signaling biology and the functional roles of IFNγ in the autoimmune response.

Abstract
AIMS To compare the effects of a high-energy diet (HED) with those of a low-energy diet (LED) on biochemical parameters, microparticle (MP) subpopulations and endothelial caveolin-1 (cav-1) protein expression in Psammomys obesus (P. obesus). METHODS After 12weeks of feeding with either the HED or LED, fasting plasma glucose and lipid parameters were measured using an enzymatic colorimetric kit while serum insulin concentration was determined with radioimmunoassay kits. MP subpopulations and cav-1 protein expression were quantified using flow cytometry and western blot analysis, respectively. RESULTS We observed that the HED caused a marked increase in lipid parameters, even in normoglycemic P. obesus. The total number of circulating MPs and the numbers of platelet-, leukocyte-, and erythrocyte-derived MPs were unaltered in the HED group. However, the HED induced increases in the numbers of monocytes/neutrophils and procoagulant MPs and a decrease in the endothelial MP levels. Cav-1β protein expression and reactive oxygen species production were increased in the vascular endothelium of HED-treated P. obesus. CONCLUSION From these findings, it is indicated that the HED exerts deleterious effects on the vascular system by increasing the monocyte/neutrophil and procoagulant MP levels, which may lead to cav-1β protein overexpression in dyslipidemic P. obesus.

Abstract
Life-threatening proinflammatory response (PR) induces severe GH resistance. Although low-level PR is much more commonly encountered clinically, relatively few studies have investigated the accompanying change in GH signal transduction progression and, in particular, the impact of low-level PR on Janus kinase (JAK)-2. Using a low-level, in vivo endotoxin [lipopolysaccharide (LPS)] challenge protocol, we demonstrated that the liver tissue content of JAK2 declined 24 h (62%, P < 0.02) after LPS and that tyrosine-nitrated JAK2 could be immunoprecipitated from post-LPS liver biopsy homogenates. With antibodies developed to probe specifically for nitration at the (1007)Y-(1008)Y phosphorylation epitope of JAK2, we demonstrated that the nitrated (1007)Y-(1008)Y-JAK-2 (nitro-JAK2) coimmunoprecipitated with caveolin-1 and (1177)phospho-SER-endothelial nitric oxide synthase when post-LPS liver homogenates were treated with anticaveolin-1 and protein A/G. The magnitude of increase in nitro-JAK2 was attenuated in animals treated with vitamin E prior to LPS. The increase in nitro-JAK2 after LPS was greater in a line of experimental animals with a genetic propensity for higher PR at the given LPS dose than responses measured in their normal counterparts. The development and remission of nitro-JAK2 was temporally concordant with changes in plasma concentrations of IGF-I; hepatocellular IGF-I mRNA content was inversely proportional to nitro-JAK2 content. Localized changes in the state of nitration of regulatory phosphorylation domains of JAK2 in caveolar microenvironments and tissue content of JAK2 during PR suggest a unique mechanism through which discrete signal transduction switching might occur in the liver to fine tune cellular responses to the endocrine-immune signals that develop during low-level, transient proinflammatory stress.

Abstract
How effectively and quickly endothelial caveolae can transcytose in vivo is unknown, yet critical for understanding their function and potential clinical utility. Here we use quantitative proteomics to identify aminopeptidase P (APP) concentrated in caveolae of lung endothelium. Electron microscopy confirms this and shows that APP antibody targets nanoparticles to caveolae. Dynamic intravital fluorescence microscopy reveals that targeted caveolae operate effectively as pumps, moving antibody within seconds from blood across endothelium into lung tissue, even against a concentration gradient. This active transcytosis requires normal caveolin-1 expression. Whole body gamma-scintigraphic imaging shows rapid, specific delivery into lung well beyond that achieved by standard vascular targeting. This caveolar trafficking in vivo may underscore a key physiological mechanism for selective transvascular exchange and may provide an enhanced delivery system for imaging agents, drugs, gene-therapy vectors and nanomedicines. 'In vivo proteomic imaging' as described here integrates organellar proteomics with multiple imaging techniques to identify an accessible target space that includes the transvascular pumping space of the caveola.

Abstract
Lipid rafts and their related membrane vesicular structures, caveolae, are cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich microdomains of the plasma membrane that have attracted considerable interest because of their ability to concentrate numerous signaling proteins. Efforts to define the proteins that reside in lipid rafts and caveolae as well as investigations into the functional role of these microdomains in signaling, endocytosis, and other cellular processes have led to the hypothesis that they compartmentalize or prearrange molecules involved in regulating these pathways. This chapter describes biochemical approaches for defining lipid rafts and caveolae. Included are detergent- and nondetergent-based fractionations on sucrose-density gradients that isolate buoyant lipid rafts and caveolae as well as caveolin antibody-based immunoisolation of detergent-insoluble membranes that selectively isolates caveolae and not lipid rafts. Also, a general method to disrupt lipid rafts and caveolae using beta-cyclodextrin that is useful for probing the role of these microdomains in cellular processes is described. The advantages and disadvantages of the respective approaches are discussed. Taken together, these methods are useful for defining the role of lipid rafts and caveolae in cell signaling.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) functions as a scaffold or platform for many molecules involved in signal transduction. However, the expression and function of Cav-1 in the immune system has been controversial. Here, we show that Cav-1 mRNA and protein is indeed expressed in murine B-lymphocytes in a regulated mannerin response to LPS. Cav-1 deficient mice displayed reduced levels of antibody in their serum. In order to examine the role of Cav-1 in the development of immunoglobulin-mediated immune responses, we immunized wild-type and Cav-1 deficient mice with thymus-dependent and thymus independent antigens. Our results show that Cav-1 deficient mice have a normal response to thymus-dependent antigens, but have a reduced response to both type I and type II thymus independent antigens. However, lymphocyte populations in the spleen and peritoneum were not altered and no changes were observed in splenic architecture. Caveolin-1 deficient B-lymphocytes did not display altered proliferation in response to different stimuli. However, we found that Cav-1 deficient B cells have reduced IgG(3) secretion in vitro in response to LPS. Finally, we also demonstrate that human plasma cells (mature B lymphocytes) express Cav-1 in vivo. Taken, together these results provide convincing evidence for the expression of Cav-1 in activated B-lymphocytes and demonstrate a role for Cav-1 in the development of thymus-independent immune responses.

Abstract
After administration to normal mice, a subset of monoclonal (m) anti-DNA antibodies (Ab) derived from MRL-lpr/lpr mice was identified that enter cells, in vivo. In the kidneys, this was associated with glomerular hypercellularity and proteinuria. In cultured cells, the same mAb bound to myosin 1 on the cell surface, prior to internalization, nuclear localization and inhibition of apoptosis. The present study focuses on the mechanisms underlying the observed functional effects. Subcellular localization studies revealed that following internalization, a prototypic, nuclear localizing, m antibody (Ab; termed H7) co-localized with myosin 1, shortly after internalization, within caveolae, near the cell membrane. Cell fractionation studies confirmed the presence of both H7 and myosin within the caveolar fraction. Since variations in caveolin protein expression have been associated with apoptotic events in cancer cells, through p53 dependent and independent pathways, modulation of caveolin by intracellular H7 was evaluated. Cellular entry of the anti-DNA Ab resulted in an increase in caveolin protein expression. Furthermore, after exposure of cells to dexamethasone to induce apoptosis, the usual increase in p53 was inhibited in the presence of intracellular H7. Taken together, the results suggest that upregulation of caveolin and inhibition of p53 induction are involved in H7-induced, inhibition of apoptosis. Furthermore, they suggest that this inhibition contributes to the glomerular hypercellularity observed in normal mice with intranuclear H7. The results also raise the possibility that inhibition of apoptotic pathways during inflammation or/and autoimmunity could influence subsequent disease events. The novel mechanism of cellular perturbation is indirect and dependent on apoptotic stimuli, and it may account for the presence of intranuclear antibodies in inflammatory and normal tissues of individuals with lupus.

Abstract
Placental transfer of IgG from maternal circulation to that of the fetus is crucial for fetal and newborn immunity. This process requires that IgG broach two cellular layers of the placenta. IgG transport across the first layer, the syncytiotrophoblast, is almost certainly mediated by the MHC-related FcR for IgG, FcRn. The second layer, the villus endothelium, was until recently thought to allow IgG movement nonspecifically by constitutive transcytosis in caveolae. However, we recently showed that villus endothelium expressed a separate FcR for IgG, the inhibitory motif-bearing Fc gammaRIIb2 seen most notably on macrophages and as a minor fraction of the Fc gammaRIIb expressed on B cells. Now, by quantitative microscopy, we find Fc gammaRIIb2 to be expressed abundantly in an unidentifiable and likely novel organelle of the villus endothelium, unassociated with caveolae. About half of these Fc gammaRIIb2 organelles contain IgG; the remainder lack IgG. The majority fraction (approximately 80%) of IgG-containing organelles is associated with Fc gammaRIIb. No IgG-containing organelles are associated with caveolin. These findings are compatible with Fc gammaRIIb-mediated transfer of IgG across the villus endothelium, independent of caveolae.

Abstract
The authors report a 44-year-old man with rippling muscle disease (RMD) who does not have a mutation in the caveolin-3 gene. Immunohistochemistry of the muscle biopsy revealed a marked reduction of caveolin-3 and a mosaic pattern of dysferlin immunostaining. Ultrastructural studies showed a loss of caveolae and alterations of the triad. Autoantibodies were directed against the sarcolemma, triad, and several unknown muscle proteins.

Abstract
Caveolae appear in a multitude of processes encompassing growth regulation and trafficking. We demonstrate the abundant presence of ESA/reggie-1/flotillin-2, ATP synthase beta subunit and annexin V in endothelial caveolae by immunopurification of caveolae from vascular endothelial membrane. Five proteins are abundant in a caveolin-1 protein complex, analyzed by sucrose gradient velocity sedimentation following octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside extraction. Caveolin-1 alpha interacts with caveolin-1beta, caveolin-2, actin, the microsomal form of NADH cytochrome B5 reductase and ESA/reggie-1/flotillin-2 as shown by co-immunoprecipitation. We propose the concept that ATP biosynthesis in caveolae regulates mechanosignaling and is induced by membrane depolarization and a proton gradient. Pressure stimuli and metabolic changes may trigger gene regulation in endothelial cells, involving a nuclear conformer of caveolin-1, shown here with an epitope-specific caveolin-1 antibody, and immediate response of ion channel activity, regulated by ESA/reggie-1/flotillin-2.

Abstract
Neutral ceramidase (CDase) is a key enzyme of sphingomyelin (SM) metabolism implicated in cell signaling triggered by a variety of extracellular ligands. Previously it was shown that in murine endothelial cells a portion of neutral CDase is localized in detergent-resistant light membranes. In this study subcellular distribution of neutral CDase was further investigated. In accordance with the previous finding, the enzyme was identified in caveolae. Moreover, the same protein was detected in medium-speed supernatant of cell-conditioned medium, accounting for CDase activity measurable in the medium at neutral pH. Notably, these cells released also the caveolae-scaffolding protein caveolin-1 (cav-1). Interestingly, secreted neutral CDase and cav-1 coimmunoprecipitated. In addition, acid sphingomyelinase (SMase) activity was detectable in cav-1 immunocomplexes. These findings are consistent with the view that neutral CDase is released, in part, in association with cav-1 together with acid SMase. It remains to be established whether the here-identified secreted cav-1-enriched complex acts as platform to facilitate extracellular metabolism of SM.

Abstract
Caveolae, specialized flask-shaped lipid rafts on the cell surface, are composed of cholesterol, sphingolipids, and structural proteins termed caveolins; functionally, these plasma membrane microdomains have been implicated in signal transduction and transmembrane transport. In the present study, we examined the role of caveolin-1 in multiple myeloma cells. We show for the first time that caveolin-1, which is usually absent in blood cells, is expressed in multiple myeloma cells. Analysis of myeloma cell-derived plasma membrane fractions shows that caveolin-1 is co-localized with interleukin-6 receptor signal transducing chain gp130 and with insulin-like growth factor-I receptor. Cholesterol depletion by beta-cyclodextrin results in the loss of caveola structure in myeloma cells, as shown by transmission electron microscopy, and loss of caveolin-1 function. Interleukin-6 and insulin-like growth factor-I, growth and survival factors in multiple myeloma, induce caveolin-1 phosphorylation, which is abrogated by pre-treatment with beta-cyclodextrin. Importantly, inhibition of caveolin-1 phosphorylation blocks both interleukin-6-induced protein complex formation with caveolin-1 and downstream activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt-1 pathway. beta-Cyclodextrin also blocks insulin-like growth factor-I-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin-responsive substrate-1 and downstream activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt-1 pathway. Therefore, cholesterol depletion by beta-cyclodextrin abrogates both interleukin-6- and insulin-like growth factor-I-triggered multiple myeloma cell survival via negative regulation of caveolin-1. Taken together, this study identifies caveolin-1 and other structural membrane components as potential new therapeutic targets in multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Caveolae are small, cholesterol-rich, hydrophobic membrane domains, characterized by the presence of the protein caveolin and involved in several cellular processes, including clathrin-independent endocytosis, the regulation and transport of cellular cholesterol, and signal transduction. Recently, caveolae have been identified as providing a novel route by which several pathogens are internalized by antigen-presenting cells and as centers for signal transduction. Here, we review the distribution and role of caveolae and caveolin in mammalian immune cells.

Abstract
It is increasingly becoming clear that various immune cells are infected by the very pathogens that they are supposed to attack. Although many mechanisms for microbial entry exist, it appears that a common route of entry shared by certain bacteria, viruses and parasites involves cellular lipid-rich microdomains sometimes called caveolae. These cellular entities, which are characterized by their preferential accumulation of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored molecules, cholesterol and various glycolipids, and a distinct protein (caveolin), are present in many effector cells of the immune system including neutrophils, macrophages, mast cells and dendritic cells. These structures have an innate capacity to endocytoze various ligands and traffic them to different intracellular sites and sometimes, back to the extracellular cell surface. Because caveolae do not typically fuse with lysosomes, the ligands borne by caveolar vesicles are essentially intact, which is in marked contrast to ligands endocytozed via the classical endosome-lysosome pathway. A number of microbes or their exotoxins co-opt the unique features of caveolae to enter and traffic, without any apparent loss of viability and function, to different sites within immune and other host cells. In spite of their wide disparity in size and other structural attributes, we predict that a common feature among caveolae-utilizing pathogens and toxins is that their cognate receptor(s) are localized within plasmalemmal caveolae of the host cell.
