Abstract

Caveolin-1, the structural and signaling protein of caveolae, is an important negative regulator of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). We observed that mice lacking caveolin-1 (Cav1(-/-)) had twofold increased plasma NO levels but developed pulmonary hypertension. We measured pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and assessed alterations in small pulmonary arteries to determine the basis of the hypertension. PVR was 46% greater in Cav1(-/-) mice than wild-type (WT), and increased PVR in Cav1(-/-) mice was attributed to precapillary sites. Treatment with NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) to inhibit NOS activity raised PVR by 42% in WT but 82% in Cav1(-/-) mice, indicating greater NO-mediated pulmonary vasodilation in Cav1(-/-) mice compared with WT. Pulmonary vasculature of Cav1(-/-) mice was also less reactive to the vasoconstrictor thromboxane A2 mimetic (U-46619) compared with WT. We observed redistribution of type I collagen and expression of smooth muscle alpha-actin in lung parenchyma of Cav1(-/-) mice compared with WT suggestive of vascular remodeling. Fluorescent agarose casting also showed markedly decreased density of pulmonary arteries and artery filling defects in Cav1(-/-) mice. Scanning electron micros...Continue Reading

Caveolins & Signal Transduction

Caveolins are small proteins with a hairpin loop conformation that are located in the plasma membrane of various cell types where they bind cholesterol and interact with receptors essential for several signal transduction pathways. Here is the latest research.
