Evidence for Cyclooxygenase-2 Association with Caveolin-3 in Primary Cultured Rat Chondrocytes

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the cellular localization of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and caveolin-3 (Cav-3) in primarily cultured rat chondrocytes. In normal rat chondrocytes, we observed relatively high levels of Cav-3 and a very low level of COX-2 mRNA and protein. Upon treating the chondrocytes with 5 µM of CdCl2 (Cd) for 6 hr, the expressions of COX-2 mRNA and protein were increased with the decreased Cav-3 mRNA and protein expressions. The detergent insoluble caveolae-rich membranous fractio… Show more

“…Examples of caveolae facilitated targeting of proteins involved in pro-inflammatory signal transduction include activators of p44/p42 (ERK) MAPK pathway, H-Ras [30, 31], non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Src [31], and the upstream regulator of NF-κB, IkappaB kinase (IKK) [32]. Furthermore, caveolins have been reported to co-localize with cyclooxygenase, suggesting that caveolins play a role in regulating the function of this enzyme [33, 34]. …”

“…In the plasma membrane, COX-2 and caveolin-3 (Cav-3) are co-localized in caveolae, a microdomain in which glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins reside and form a caveolar protein-protein complex in human fibroblasts 64 and in primary cultures of rat chondrocytes. 65 This suggests that the caveolins might play a role in the regulation of COX-2 functions. 65 Type IIA secretory phospholipase A 2 (sPLA 2 -IIA) is present in caveolae and also in the perinuclear area in proximity to COX-2.…”

“…65 This suggests that the caveolins might play a role in the regulation of COX-2 functions. 65 Type IIA secretory phospholipase A 2 (sPLA 2 -IIA) is present in caveolae and also in the perinuclear area in proximity to COX-2. A GPI-anchored heparan sulfate proteoglycan glypican facilitates the trafficking of sPLA 2 -IIA into particular subcellular compartments, and arachidonic acid thus released from the compartments may link efficiently to the downstream COX-2-mediated PG biosynthesis.…”

“…There is evidence that fatty acids can alter localization and function of caveolae-associated signaling proteins in mouse colonic mucosa [16]. Caveolins also have been reported to co-localize with cyclooxyenase, suggesting that caveolins play a role in regulating the function of this enzyme [17,18]. Besides their role in cellular uptake of lipophilic substances, caveolae house an array of cell signaling molecules involved in endothelial cell dysfunction and inflammation [13].…”
