Abstract
Caveolae are identifiable plasma membrane invaginations. The main structural proteins of caveolae are the caveolins. There are three caveolins expressed in mammals, designated Cav-1, Cav-2, and Cav-3. It has been postulated that Cav-1 acts as a scaffold protein for signaling proteins; these include ion channels, enzymes, and other ligand receptors like membrane-associated estrogen receptor (ER)α or ERβ. Caveolae-associated membrane proteins are involved in regulating some of the rapid estrogenic effects of 17β-estradiol. One important system related to the activity of ERα and caveolae is the renin-angiotensin system. Angiotensin II (ANG II) has numerous actions in vascular smooth muscle, including modulation of vasomotor tone, cell growth, apoptosis, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt activation, and others. Many proteins associated with caveolae are in close relation with the scaffolding domain of Cav-1 (82–101 amino acid residues). It has been proposed that this peptide may acts as a kinase inhibitor. Therefore, to explore the ability of Cav-1 scaffolding peptide (CSP-1) to regulate ANG II function and analyze the relationship between ERα and ANG II type 1 and 2 (AT1 and AT2) receptors, we decided to study the effects of CSP-1 on ANG II-induced intracellular Ca2+ kinetics and the effect of 17β-estradiol on this modulation using human smooth muscle cells in culture, intracellular Ca2+ concentration measurements, immuno- and double-immunocytochemistry confocal analysis of receptor expression, immunoblot analysis, and immunocoprecipitation assays to demonstrate coexpression. We hypothesized that CSP-1 inhibits ANG II-mediated increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations by interfering with intracellular signaling including the PI3K/Akt pathway. We also hypothesize that AT2 receptors associate with Cav-1. Our results show that there is a close association of AT1, AT2, and ERα with Cav-1 in human arterial smooth muscle cells in culture. CSP-1 inhibits ANG II-induced intracellular signaling.
