Caveolin-1 (CAV1) and Cavin-1 are components of caveolae, both of which interact with and influence the composition and stabilization of caveolae. CAV1 is associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type 2 receptor (BMPR2) is localized in caveolae associated with CAV1 and is commonly mutated in PAH. Here, we show that BMP/Smad signaling is suppressed in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells of CAV1 knockout mice. Moreover, hypoxia enhances the CAV1/Cavin-1 interaction but attenuates the CAV1/BMPR2 interaction and BMPR2 membrane localization in pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs). Both Cavin-1 and BMPR2 are associated with the CAV1 scaffolding domain. Cavin-1 decreases BMPR2 membrane localization by inhibiting the interaction of BMPR2 with CAV1 and reduces Smad signal transduction in PAECs. Furthermore, Cavin-1 knockdown is resistant to CAV1-induced pulmonary hypertension in vivo. We demonstrate that the Cavin-1/Caveolin-1 interaction attenuates BMP/Smad signaling and is a promising target for the treatment of PAH.
窖蛋白-1(CAV1)和窖蛋白-1 相关蛋白-1(Cavin-1)是质膜凹陷( caveolae )的组成部分,两者相互作用并影响质膜凹陷的组成和稳定。CAV1 与肺动脉高压(PAH)有关。骨形态发生蛋白(BMP)型 2 受体(BMPR2)定位于与 CAV1 相关的质膜凹陷中,在 PAH 中常见突变。在这里,我们表明 CAV1 敲除小鼠的肺微血管内皮细胞中的 BMP/Smad 信号受到抑制。此外,低氧增强 CAV1/Cavin-1 相互作用,但减弱 CAV1/BMPR2 相互作用和 BMPR2 在肺动脉内皮细胞(PAECs)中的膜定位。Cavin-1 和 BMPR2 都与 CAV1 支架结构域相关。Cavin-1 通过抑制 BMPR2 与 CAV1 的相互作用来减少 BMPR2 的膜定位,并减少 PAECs 中的 Smad 信号转导。此外,Cavin-1 敲低可抵抗体内 CAV1 诱导的肺动脉高压。我们证明 Cavin-1/Caveolin-1 相互作用减弱了 BMP/Smad 信号,是治疗 PAH 的有前途的靶点。
