Caveolins: targeting pro-survival signaling in the heart and brain

Abstract: The present review discusses intracellular signaling moieties specific to membrane lipid rafts (MLRs) and the scaffolding proteins caveolin and introduces current data promoting their potential role in the treatment of pathologies of the heart and brain. MLRs are discreet microdomains of the plasma membrane enriched in gylcosphingolipids and cholesterol that concentrate and localize signaling molecules. Caveolin proteins are necessary for the formation of MLRs, and are responsible for coordinating signaling ev… Show more

“…An elaborate network of nodal signaling integrators is activated in response to cardiac stress to promote cardiac hypertrophy as a compensatory response to maintain cardiac output. The signaling pathways associated with caveolae, which compartmentalize receptors, ion channels, and signaling effectors (56,57), have generally been characterized as cardioprotective. The link between caveolae and cardiac hypertrophy was first established in Cav3 KO mice, which display significant hypertrophy, dilation, and reduced fractional shortening associated with hyperactivation of the maladaptive p42/44 MAPK pathway (44).…”

“…The declining I/R tolerance is not unexpected given the influences of caveolae and cholesterol on key determinants of stress resistance (8,18,31,32,44,(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57). For example, M␤CD consistently inhibits BK Ca channel function across different cell types, and the channel has been implicated in cytoprotection and I/R injury.…”

“…This may reflect select disruption of caveolae (and dependent G proteincoupled receptors) at low M␤CD levels versus more widespread disruption of membrane lipid rafts at higher concentrations. Non-caveolar planar lipid rafts may be equally important in the membrane signal transduction underlying cytoprotective responses (44,52). It is also important to note that acute and sustained OR stimuli differ in terms of the timing of OR involvement.…”

“…Caveolae are small lipid rafts of the plasma membrane which contribute to cell signalling (Sowa 2011). Caveolae formation and stabilisation depends on the key structural protein, caveolin (Smart et al 1999), which occurs in three isoforms of caveolin 1 to 3 (Cav-1, -2, and -3) (Stary et al 2012).…”
