Caveolae and Caveolin-1: Novel Potential Targets for the Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease

Abstract: Caveolae are 50-100 nm cell surface plasma membrane invaginations that are highly enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids and are characterized by the protein marker caveolin-1. Caveolin-1 is highly expressed in terminally differentiated cells. Among these cells, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages have all been shown to play key roles in the development of vascular disease. Atherosclerosis and neointimal formation are two major processes that have been associated with arterial occlusion.… Show more

“…A similar role for caveolin-1 in activation of Rac1, increased ROS production, and vascular hypertrophy after angiotensin II type 1 receptor activation has been suggested in vascular smooth muscle cells (17). Although both epithelial and endothelial cells express caveolin-1 (44,45), there is substantial evidence that lack of endothelial caveolin-1 plays a major role in the pathophysiology observed in caveolin-1 knock-out mice (46,47). Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that the pulmonary effects we observe with hyperoxia treatment of mice are through a preferential endothelial-dependent, rather than epithelial-dependent, mechanism (46,47).…”

“…That these biochemical specializations of the raft/caveolar membrane are functionally important has now been shown in several smooth muscles by disrupting caveolae, usually by extracting cholesterol [rat uterus (648) and ureter (26), human myometrium (798), blood vessels (155), and bladder (273)]. A link with obesity, through elevated cholesterol and other smooth muscle pathologies, has recently been demonstrated (186,797).…”

“…These are flask-shaped membrane invaginations characterized by the presence of the scaffolding protein caveolin. 5 Whereas the presence of α1-AR in caveolae has been reported, 6 the localization of the K V 4.2 and K V 4.3 proteins, molecular correlates of the I to channel, is controversial.…”
