Caveolin-1 regulates EGFR signalling in MCF-7 breast cancer cells and enhances gefitinib-induced tumor cell inhibition

Abstract: Caveolin-1, an essential protein constituent of caveolae, is involved in cell signaling through its association with various signaling molecules. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) interacts directly with caveolin-1 and this interaction functionally regulates EGFR tyrosine kinase activity. In this report we investigated the role of caveolin-1 overexpression on EGFR signaling in MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. We demonstrate here that although total EGFR expression levels are similar, EGFR phosphorylation i… Show more

“…We show here that HIF-dependent overexpression of CAV1 promotes EGFR signaling in CCRCC. Interestingly, gefitinib, an EGFR-specific inhibitor, inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7/ CAV1 breast cancer cells more efficiently than it prohibited the proliferation of MCF-7 parental cells (46). This finding suggests that gefitinib may have beneficial effect on CCRCC displaying a CAV1 overexpression signature.…”

“…For example, under conditions of oxidative stress, CAV1 was shown to transport EGFR to a perinuclear location where EGFR no longer is degraded and remains active (42). CAV1-overexpressing MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7/CAV1) stimulated with EGF displayed higher EGFR signaling, with enhanced proliferative and motility rates, than seen in MCF-7 parental cells (43). These examples of differential roles of CAV1 in the regulation of EGFR also may suggest the cell contextdependent nature of CAV1 function.…”

“…Cell viability was measured using WST-1, an antiproliferative assay. MCF-7 and ZR-75-30 cells are positively expressed ERa whereas MDA-MB-231 and SK-BR-3 cell are not (38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43). HMQ1611 decreased the cell viabilities of the 4 types of cancer cells (Fig.…”

“…In our laboratory, cell morphology, growth curve, and mycoplasma contamination were regularly checked to ensure the absence of contamination during the culture. MCF-7 and ZR-75-30 are ERa-positive expression cell lines (38)(39)(40)(41). SK-BR-3 and MDA-MB-231 are ERa-negative cell lines (42,43 …”

“…Caveolin-1 recruits and organizes H-Ras, Raf, MEK, and ERK to caveola membranes (25,(38)(39)(40) and regulates activation of Raf, MEK, and ERK by growth factors or the Ras oncogene (14,22,24,41,42). KSR1 localizes to the plasma membrane upon activation of the Raf/MEK/ERK kinase cascade (43).…”
