Abstract
Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) can proliferate in vitro and can be transplanted for treating many kinds of diseases. However, BMSCs become senescent with long-term culture, which inhibits their application. To understand the mechanism underlying the senescence, we investigated the activity of phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) and levels of integrin beta4, caveolin-1 and ROS with BMSC senescence. The activity of PC-PLC and levels of integrin beta4, caveolin-1 and ROS increased greatly during cell senescence. Selective inhibition of increased PC-PLC activity with D609 significantly decreased the number of senescence-associated beta galactosidase positive cells in BMSCs. Furthermore, D609 restored proliferation of BMSCs and their differentiation into adipocytes. Moreover, D609 suppressed the elevated levels of integrin beta4, caveolin-1 and ROS. The data suggest that PC-PLC is involved in senescence of BMSCs, and its function is associated with integrin beta4, caveolin-1 and ROS.

Senescence-related functional nuclear barrier by down-regulation of nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking gene expression. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2009; 391:28-32.

Abstract
One of the characteristic natures of senescent cells is the hypo- or irresponsiveness not only to growth factors but also to apoptotic stress. In the present study, we confirmed the inhibition of nuclear translocation of activated p-ERK1/2 and NF-kB p50 in response to growth stimuli or LPS in the senescent human diploid fibroblasts. In order to elucidate the underlying mechanism for the senescence-associated hypo-responsiveness, we carried out the comparison study for gene expression profiles through microarray analysis. In consequence, we observed the vast reduction in expression of nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking genes in senescent cells, when compared with those in young cells. Expression levels of several nucleoporins, karyopherin alpha, karyopherin beta, Ran, and Ran-regulating factors were confirmed to be down-regulated in senescent HDFs by using RT-PCR and Western blot methods. Taken together, these data suggest the operation of certain senescence-associated functional nuclear barriers by down-regulation of the nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking genes in the senescent cells.

Abstract
Caveolae
are vesicular invaginations of the plasma membrane. Caveolin-1 is the
structural protein component of caveolae. Caveolin-1 participates in signal
transduction processes by acting as a scaffolding protein that concentrates,
organizes and functional regulates signaling molecules within caveolar
membranes. Cigarette smoke, a source of oxidants, is an environmental
hazard that causes pulmonary emphysema. Recently, we reported that the
development of cigarette smoking-induced pulmonary emphysema was inhibited
in caveolin-1 null mice, which do not express caveolin-1. We demonstrated
that lack of caveolin-1 expression in lung fibroblasts dramatically
inhibited premature senescence induced by oxidants contained in cigarette
smoke. Mechanistically, we uncovered that premature senescence of lung
fibroblasts induced by oxidative stress occurred through activation of an
ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM)/p53-depedent pathway following
sequestration of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A-C),
an inhibitor of ATM, by caveolin-1 into caveolar membranes. We propose
caveolin-1 as a key player of a novel signaling pathway that links
cigarette smoke to premature senescence of lung fibroblasts and development
of pulmonary emphysema.

Abstract
The actin-binding protein filamin A (FLNa) affects the intracellular trafficking of various classes of receptors and has a potential role in oncogenesis. However, it is unclear whether FLNa regulates the signaling capacity and/or down-regulation of the activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Here it is shown that partial knockdown of FLNa gene expression blocked ligand-induced EGFR responses in metastatic human melanomas. To gain greater insights into the role of FLNa in EGFR activation and intracellular sorting, we used M2 melanoma cells that lack endogenous FLNa and a subclone in which human FLNa cDNA has been stably reintroduced (M2A7 cells). Both tyrosine phosphorylation and ubiquitination of EGFR were significantly lower in epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated M2 cells when compared with M2A7 cells. Moreover, the lack of FLNa interfered with EGFR interaction with the ubiquitin ligase c-Cbl. M2 cells exhibited marked resistance to EGF-induced receptor degradation, which was very active in M2A7 cells. Despite comparable rates of EGF-mediated receptor endocytosis, internalized EGFR colocalized with the lysosomal marker lysosome-associated membrane protein-1 in M2A7 cells but not M2 cells, in which EGFR was found to be sequestered in large vesicles and subsequently accumulated in punctated perinuclear structures after EGF stimulation. These results suggest the requirement of FLNa for efficient EGFR kinase activation and the sorting of endocytosed receptors into the degradation pathway.

Abstract
Endocytic mechanisms control the lipid and protein composition of the plasma membrane, thereby regulating how cells interact with their environments. Here, we review what is known about mammalian endocytic mechanisms, with focus on the cellular proteins that control these events. We discuss the well-studied clathrin-mediated endocytic mechanisms and dissect endocytic pathways that proceed independently of clathrin. These clathrin-independent pathways include the CLIC/GEEC endocytic pathway, arf6-dependent endocytosis, flotillin-dependent endocytosis, macropinocytosis, circular doral ruffles, phagocytosis, and trans-endocytosis. We also critically review the role of caveolae and caveolin1 in endocytosis. We highlight the roles of lipids, membrane curvature-modulating proteins, small G proteins, actin, and dynamin in endocytic pathways. We discuss the functional relevance of distinct endocytic pathways and emphasize the importance of studying these pathways to understand human disease processes.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is recognized as a critical cellular response to prolonged rounds of replication and environmental stresses. Its defining characteristics are arrested cell-cycle progression and the development of aberrant gene expression with proinflammatory behavior. Whereas the mechanistic events associated with senescence are generally well understood at the molecular level, the impact of senescence in vivo remains to be fully determined. In addition to the role of senescence as an antitumor mechanism, this review examines cellular senescence as a factor in organismal aging and age-related diseases, with particular emphasis on aberrant gene expression and abnormal paracrine signaling. Senescence as an emerging factor in tissue remodeling, wound repair, and infection is considered. In addition, the role of oxidative stress as a major mediator of senescence and the role of NAD(P)H oxidases and changes to intracellular GSH/GSSG status are reviewed. Recent findings indicate that senescence and the behavior of senescent cells are amenable to therapeutic intervention. As the in vivo significance of senescence becomes clearer, the challenge will be to modulate the adverse effects of senescence without increasing the risks of other diseases, such as cancer. The uncoupled relation between cell-cycle arrest and the senescent phenotype suggests that this is an achievable outcome.

Abstract
Plasma membranes are essential components of living cells, and phospholipids are major components of cellular membranes. Here, we used liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry to investigate changes in the membrane phospholipid content that occur in association with aging. Our results indicate that the levels of a particular species of phosphatidylcholine comprised of stearic acid and arachidonic acid increased with age. To determine the reason for the increased levels of this particular phosphatidylcholine, we examined the effect of highly unsaturated fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, on cellular aging. Applied arachidonic acid was incorporated into phosphatidylcholine molecules, but neither arachidonic acid nor other related unsaturated fatty acids had any effect. We conclude that increased levels of this distinctive phosphatidylcholine are a result of in vitro senescence.

Abstract
BMI-1026 is a synthetic aminopyrimidine compound that targets cyclin dependent kinases (cdks) and was initially designed as a potential anticancer drug. Even though it has been well documented that BMI-1026 is a potent cdk inhibitor, little is known about the cellular effects of this compound. In this study, we examined the effects of BMI-1026 treatment on inducing premature senescence and then evaluated the biochemical features of BMI-1026-induced premature senescence. From these experiments we determined that BMI-1026 treatment produced several biochemical features of premature senescence and also stimulated expression of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) family proteins. BMI-1026 treatment caused nuclear translocation of activated Erk1/2 and the formation of senescence associated heterochromatin foci in 5 days. The heterochromatin foci formation was perturbed by inhibition of Erk1/2 activation.

Abstract
It has been recently proposed that pro-inflammatory genes such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) play a key role in the aging process. However, it remains unclear whether the pro-inflammatory activity of COX-2 is involved in the aging process and whether COX-2 inhibitors prevent aging. We therefore examined the effect of COX-2 inhibitors on aging in the cellular senescence model of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). While the catalytic activity of COX-2 was observed to increase in the senescence process, we found that among three selective COX-2 inhibitors studied, only NS-398 inhibited the senescence whereas celecoxib and nimesulide accelerated the senescence. Non-selective COX inhibitors including aspirin, ibuprofen and flurbiprofen accelerated the senescence. The senescence-regulating effect of selective COX-2 inhibitors had no correlation with cellular reactive oxygen species levels, NF-kappaB activities or protein levels of p53 and p21. We instead found that selective COX-2 inhibitors regulate caveolin-1 expression at transcriptional levels, which was closely associated with the inhibitors' effect on the senescence. Collectively, these results suggest that COX-2 catalytic activity does not mediate HDF senescence and that selective COX-2 inhibitors modulate HDF senescence by a catalytic activity-independent mechanism.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic and debilitating low back pain is a common condition and a huge economic burden. Many cases are attributed to age-related degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD); however, age-related degeneration appears to occur at an accelerated rate in some individuals. We have previously demonstrated biomarkers of cellular senescence within the human IVD and suggested a role for senescence in IVD degeneration. Senescence occurs with ageing but can also occur prematurely in response to stress. We hypothesised that stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) occurs within the IVD and here we have investigated the expression and production of caveolin-1, a protein that has been shown previously to be upregulated in SIPS. Methods Caveolin-1 gene expression in human nucleus pulposus (NP) cells was assessed by conventional and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and caveolin-1 protein expression was examined within human IVDs using immunohistochemistry. The correlation between caveolin-1 and p16INK4a (biomarker of cellular senescence) gene expression was investigated using quantitative real-time PCR. Results Caveolin-1 gene expression and protein expression were demonstrated within the human IVD for the first time. NP cells from degenerate discs exhibited elevated levels of caveolin-1 which did not relate to increasing chronological age. A negative correlation was observed between gene expression for caveolin-1 and donor age, and no correlation was found between caveolin-1 protein expression and age. A positive correlation was identified between gene expression of caveolin-1 and p16INK4a. Conclusion Our findings are consistent with a role for caveolin-1 in degenerative rather than age-induced changes in the NP. Its expression in IVD tissue and its association with the senescent phenotype suggest that caveolin-1 and SIPS may play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of IVD degeneration.

Abstract
When macrophages phagocytose chitin (N-acetyl-d-glucosamine polymer) microparticles, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are immediately activated, followed by the release of Th1 cytokines, but not IL-10. To determine whether phagocytosis and macrophage activation in response to chitin microparticles are dependent on membrane cholesterol, RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with methyl-beta-cytodextrin (MBCD) and stimulated with chitin. These results were compared with the corresponding effects of bacterial components including heat-killed (HK) Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guèrin (BCG) and an oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) of bacterial DNA (CpG-ODN). The MBCD treatment did not alter chitin binding or the phagocytosis of chitin particles 20 min after stimulation. At the same time, however, chitin-induced phosphorylation of cellular MAPK was accelerated and enhanced in an MBCD dose-dependent manner. The increased phosphorylation was also observed for chitin phagosome-associated p38 and ERK1/2. In contrast, CpG-ODN and HK-BCG induced activation of MAPK in MBCD-treated cells at levels comparable to, or only slightly more than, those of control cells. We also found that MBCD treatment enhanced the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in response to chitin microparticles. In neither MBCD- nor saline-treated macrophages, did chitin particles induce detectable IL-10 mRNA synthesis. CpG-ODN induced TNF-alpha production, and COX-2 expression were less sensitive to MBCD treatment. Among the agonists studied, our results indicate that macrophage activation by chitin microparticles was most sensitive to cholesterol depletion, suggesting that membrane structures integrated by cholesterol are important for physiological regulation of chitin microparticle-induced cellular activation.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a common age-dependent disease. We discovered that male offspring of non-diabetic C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mice, called JYD mice, develop type 2 diabetes when they grow old. JYD mice show characteristics of insulin resistance, hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia in old age without obesity. We postulated that the mechanism of age-dependent type 2 diabetes in this model relates to caveolin-1 status in skeletal muscle, which appears to regulate insulin sensitivity in the mice. METHODS We compared insulin sensitivity in aged C57BL/6 and JYD mice using glucose and insulin tolerance tests and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. We also determined insulin signalling molecules and caveolin proteins using western blotting, and altered caveolin-1 levels in skeletal muscle of C57BL/6 and JYD mice using viral vector systems, to examine the effect of this on insulin sensitivity. RESULTS In 30-week-old C57BL/6 and JYD mice, the basal levels of IRS-1, Akt and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma decreased, as did insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt and insulin receptor beta. However, caveolin-1 was only increased about twofold in 30-week-old JYD mice as compared with 3-week-old mice, whereas an eightfold increase was seen in C57BL/6 mice. Downregulation of caveolin-1 production in C57BL/6 mice caused severe impairment of glucose and insulin tolerance. Upregulation of caveolin-1 in aged diabetic JYD mice significantly improved insulin sensitivity with a concomitant increase of glucose uptake in the skeletal muscle. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The level of skeletal muscle caveolin-1 is correlated with the progression of age-dependent type 2 diabetes in JYD mice.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Hyperoxia causes lung injury in animals and humans, and is an established model of ALI. Caveolin-1, a major constituent of caveolae, regulates numerous biological processes, including cell death and proliferation. Here we demonstrate that caveolin-1-null mice (cav-1(-/-)) were resistant to hyperoxia-induced death and lung injury. Cav-1(-/-) mice sustained reduced lung injury after hyperoxia as determined by protein levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and histologic analysis. Furthermore, cav-1(-/-) fibroblasts and endothelial cells and cav-1 knockdown epithelial cells resisted hyperoxia-induced cell death in vitro. Basal and inducible expression of the stress protein heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were markedly elevated in lung tissue or fibroblasts from cav-1(-/-) mice. Hyperoxia induced the physical interaction between cav-1 and HO-1 in fibroblasts assessed by co-immunoprecipitation studies, which resulted in attenuation of HO activity. Inhibition of HO activity with tin protoporphyrin-IX abolished the survival benefits of cav-1(-/-) cells and cav-1(-/-) mice exposed to hyperoxia. The cav-1(-/-) mice displayed elevated phospho-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and p38beta expression in lung tissue/cells under basal conditions and during hyperoxia. Treatment with SB202190, an inhibitor of p38 MAPK, decreased hyperoxia-inducible HO-1 expression in wild-type and cav-1(-/-) fibroblasts. Taken together, our data demonstrated that cav-1 deletion protects against hyperoxia-induced lung injury, involving in part the modulation of the HO-1-cav-1 interaction, and the enhanced induction of HO-1 through a p38 MAPK-mediated pathway. These studies identify caveolin-1 as a novel component involved in hyperoxia-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Background To strengthen research and differential diagnostics of mitochondrial disorders, we constructed and validated an oligonucleotide microarray (h-MitoArray) allowing expression analysis of 1632 human genes involved in mitochondrial biology, cell cycle regulation, signal transduction and apoptosis. Using h-MitoArray we analyzed gene expression profiles in 9 control and 13 fibroblast cell lines from patients with F1Fo ATP synthase deficiency consisting of 2 patients with mt9205ΔTA microdeletion and a genetically heterogeneous group of 11 patients with not yet characterized nuclear defects. Analysing gene expression profiles, we attempted to classify patients into expected defect specific subgroups, and subsequently reveal group specific compensatory changes, identify potential phenotype causing pathways and define candidate disease causing genes. Results Molecular studies, in combination with unsupervised clustering methods, defined three subgroups of patient cell lines – M group with mtDNA mutation and N1 and N2 groups with nuclear defect. Comparison of expression profiles and functional annotation, gene enrichment and pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes revealed in the M group a transcription profile suggestive of synchronized suppression of mitochondrial biogenesis and G1/S arrest. The N1 group showed elevated expression of complex I and reduced expression of complexes III, V, and V-type ATP synthase subunit genes, reduced expression of genes involved in phosphorylation dependent signaling along MAPK, Jak-STAT, JNK, and p38 MAP kinase pathways, signs of activated apoptosis and oxidative stress resembling phenotype of premature senescent fibroblasts. No specific functionally meaningful changes, except of signs of activated apoptosis, were detected in the N2 group. Evaluation of individual gene expression profiles confirmed already known ATP6/ATP8 defect in patients from the M group and indicated several candidate disease causing genes for nuclear defects. Conclusion Our analysis showed that deficiency in the ATP synthase protein complex amount is generally accompanied by only minor changes in expression of ATP synthase related genes. It also suggested that the site (mtDNA vs nuclear DNA) and the severity (ATP synthase content) of the underlying defect have diverse effects on cellular gene expression phenotypes, which warrants further investigation of cell cycle regulatory and signal transduction pathways in other OXPHOS disorders and related pharmacological models.

Raft-dependent endocytosis is in large part defined as the cholesterol-sensitive, clathrin-independent internalization of ligands and receptors from the plasma membrane. It encompasses the endocytosis of caveolae, smooth plasmalemmal vesicles that form a subdomain of cholesterol and sphingolipid-rich lipid rafts and that are enriched for caveolin-1. While sharing common mechanisms, like cholesterol sensitivity, raft endocytic routes show differential regulation by various cellular components including caveolin-1, dynamin-2 and regulators of the actin cytoskeleton. Dynamin-dependent raft pathways, mediated by caveolae and morphologically equivalent non-caveolin vesicular intermediates, are referred to as caveolae/raft-dependent endocytosis. In contrast, dynamin-independent raft pathways are mediated by non-caveolar intermediates. Raft-dependent endocytosis is regulated by tyrosine kinase inhibitors and, through the regulation of the internalization of various ligands, receptors and effectors, is also a determinant of cellular signaling. In this review, we characterize and discuss the regulation of raft-dependent endocytic pathways and the role of key regulators such as caveolin-1.

Abstract
Lipid rafts and caveolae are microdomains of the plasma membrane enriched in sphingolipids and cholesterol, and hence are less fluid than the remainder of the membrane. Caveolae have an invaginated structure, while lipid rafts are flat regions of the membrane. The two types of microdomains have different protein compositions (growth factor receptors and their downstream molecules) suggesting that lipid rafts and caveolae have a role in the regulation of signaling by these receptors. The purpose of this review is to discuss this model, and the implications that it might have regarding a potential role for lipid rafts and caveolae in human cancer. Particular attention will be paid to the epidermal growth factor receptor, for which the largest amount of information is available. It has been proposed that caveolins act as tumor suppressors. The role of lipid rafts is less clear, but they seem to be capable of acting as 'signaling platforms', in which signal initiation and propagation can occur efficiently.

Abstract
d-Limonene is an unsaturated volatile organic chemical found in cleaning products, air fresheners and soaps. It is oxidized by ozone to secondary organic aerosols consisting of aldehydes, acids, oxidants and fine and ultra fine particles. The lung irritant effects of these limonene ozone reaction products (LOP) were investigated. Female F344 rats (2- and 18-month-old) were exposed for 3 h to air or LOP formed by reacting 6 ppm d-limonene and 0.8 ppm ozone. BAL fluid, lung tissue and cells were analyzed 0 h and 20 h later. Inhalation of LOP increased TNF-alpha, cyclooxygenase-2, and superoxide dismutase in alveolar macrophages (AM) and Type II cells. Responses of older animals were attenuated when compared to younger animals. LOP also decreased p38 MAP kinase in AM from both younger and older animals. In contrast, while LOP increased p44/42 MAP kinase in AM from younger rats, expression decreased in AM and Type II cells from older animals. NF-kappaB and C/EBP activity also increased in AM from younger animals following LOP exposure but decreased or was unaffected in Type II cells. Whereas in younger animals LOP caused endothelial cell hypertrophy, perivascular and pleural edema and thickening of alveolar septal walls, in lungs from older animals, patchy accumulation of fluid within septal walls in alveolar sacs and subtle pleural edema were noted. LOP are pulmonary irritants inducing distinct inflammatory responses in younger and older animals. This may contribute to the differential sensitivity of these populations to pulmonary irritants.

Abstract
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a well-known neurotrophic factor and the NGF signaling through the receptor, TrkA, plays important roles in regulating neuronal differentiation and survival. A recent study has demonstrated that the TrkAs expressed in undifferentiated PC12 cells were associated with caveolae, which were invaginated small pits on the plasma membrane. Caveolae are frequently seen in many cell types such as endothelial cells, fibroblasts and hepatocytes, but few in neurons. In the present study, we performed immunocytochemistry of TrkA in differentiated PC12 cells and analyzed the ultrastructural localization of TrkA by conventional electron microscopy and high-voltage electron microscopic (HVEM) tomography. The TrkA immunoreactivities were mainly associated with the cytoplasmic vesicles (10-30 nm in diameter) and a part of the plasma membrane. The HVEM tomography showed that the TrkA immunoreactivities were often assembled into ring-like structures (400-800 nm in diameter) near the plasma membrane, unlike typical flask-shaped invaginations of caveolae (50-100 nm in diameter). These results suggest that TrkA are not localized in the caveolae, at least in differentiated PC12 cells, but other invaginations are involved in a novel process of internalization of ligand-bound TrkA.

Abstract
Recent studies on the role of caveolin-1 in adipocytes showed that caveolin has emerged as an important regulatory element in insulin signaling but little is known on its role in skeletal muscle cells. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that caveolin-1 plays a crucial role in insulin dependent glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells. Differentiation of L6 skeletal muscle cells induce the expression of caveolin-1 and caveolin-3 with partial colocalization. However in contrast to adipocytes, phosphorylation of insulin receptor beta (IRbeta) and Akt/Erk was not affected by the respective downregulation of caveolin-1 or caveolin-3 in the muscle cells. Moreover, the phosphorylation of IRbeta was detected not only in the caveolae but also in the non-caveolae fractions of the muscle cells despite the interaction of IRbeta with caveolin-1 and caveolin-3. These data implicate the lack of relationship between caveolins and IRbeta pathway in the muscle cells, different from the adipocytes. However, glucose uptake was reduced specifically by downregulation of caveolin-1, but not that of caveolin-3. Taken together, these observations suggest that caveolin-1 plays a crucial role in glucose uptake in differentiated muscle cells and that the regulation of caveolin-1 expression may be an important mechanism for insulin sensitivity, implying the role of muscle cells for type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Lipid rafts are emerging as key players in the integration of cellular responses. Alterations in these highly regulated signaling cascades are important in structural, mechanical and functional abnormalities that underlie vascular pathological processes. The present review focuses on recent advances in signal transduction through caveolae/lipid rafts, implicated in hypertensive processes. RECENT FINDINGS Caveolae/lipid rafts function as sites of dynamic regulatory events in receptor-induced signal transduction. Mediators of vascular function, including G-protein coupled receptors, Src family tyrosine kinases, receptor tyrosine kinases, protein phosphatases and nitric oxide synthase, are concentrated within these microdomains. The assembly of functionally active nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase and subsequent reactive oxygen species production are also dependent on interactions within the caveolae/lipid rafts. Recent findings have also demonstrated the importance of actin-cytoskeleton and focal adhesion sites for protein interactions with caveolae/lipid raft. SUMMARY Many vascular signaling processes are altered in hypertension. Whether these events involve lipid rafts/caveolae remains unclear. A better understanding of how signaling molecules compartmentalize in lipid rafts/caveolae will provide further insights into molecular mechanisms underlying vascular damage in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
The expression of caveolins is down-regulated in tissue samples of human thyroid autonomous adenomas and in the animal model of this disease. Because several cell types present in thyroid express caveolins, it remained unclear if this down-regulation occurs in thyrocytes and which are the mechanism and role of this down-regulation in the tumor context. Here we show that prolonged stimulation of isolated human thyrocytes by TSH/cAMP/cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibits caveolins' expression. The expression of caveolins is not down-regulated by activators of other signaling pathways relevant to thyroid growth/function. Therefore, the down-regulation of caveolins' expression in autonomous adenomas is a direct consequence of the chronic activation of the TSH/cAMP pathway in thyrocytes. The down-regulation of caveolin-1 occurs at the mRNA level, with a consequent protein decrease. TSH/cAMP induces a transcription-dependent, translation-independent destabilization of the caveolin-1 mRNA. This effect is correlated to the known proliferative role of that cascade in thyrocytes. In vivo, thyrocytes of caveolin-1 knockout mice display enhanced proliferation. This demonstrates, for the first time, the in vivo significance of the specific caveolin-1 down-regulation by one mitogenic cascade and its relation to a human disease.

Abstract
A decreased apoptotic response toward noxious stress is an issuing characteristic of the aging phenotype. Hydrogen peroxide or staurosporine induced apoptosis readily in young cells but not in senescent cells. We showed that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) expression and its phosphorylation at Tyr397, autophosphorylation site for focal adhesion formation, and Tyr577, Src-dependent phosphorylation site, were both increased in senescent cells. Moreover, FAK was inactivated proteolytically by apoptotic stimuli in young cells, but not in senescent cells. In addition, senescent cells whose FAK expression was downregulated by siRNA showed the increased level of apoptosis by staurosporine treatment via caspase-3 activation but not by hydrogen peroxide treatment. Interestingly dephosphorylation at Tyr577 of FAK by PP2 treatment, Src-family kinase inhibitor, induced the apoptosis by staurosporine in senescent cells but dephosphorylation at Tyr397 by downregulation of caveolin-1 was not affected. These data suggest that FAK might differently regulate apoptosis and focal adhesion formation through site-specific tyrosine phosphorylation in senescent cells.

Abstract
The diterpene ester PEP005 is a novel anticancer agent that activates protein kinase C (PKC) and induces cell death in melanoma at high doses. We now describe the in vitro cytostatic effects of PEP005 and the diterpene ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, observed in 20% of human melanoma cell lines. Primary cultures of normal human neonatal fibroblasts were resistant to growth arrest, indicating a potential for tumor selectivity. Sensitive cell lines were induced to senesce and exhibited a G(1) and G(2)-M arrest. There was sustained expression of p21(WAF1/CIP1), irreversible dephosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein, and transcriptional silencing of E2F-responsive genes in sensitive cell lines. Activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK) 1/2 by PKC was required for diterpene ester-induced senescence. Expression profiling revealed that the MAP kinase inhibitor HREV107 was expressed at a higher transcript level in resistant compared with sensitive cell lines. We propose that activation of PKC overstimulates the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, resulting in molecular changes leading to the senescent phenotype.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is believed to represent a natural tumor suppressor mechanism. We have previously shown that up-regulation of caveolin-1 was required for oxidative stress-induced premature senescence in fibroblasts. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying caveolin-1 up-regulation in senescent cells remain unknown. Here, we show that subcytotoxic oxidative stress generated by hydrogen peroxide application promotes premature senescence and stimulates the activity of a (-1,296) caveolin-1 promoter reporter gene construct in fibroblasts. Functional deletion analysis mapped the oxidative stress response elements of the mouse caveolin-1 promoter to the sequences -244/-222 and -124/-101. The hydrogen peroxide-mediated activation of both Cav-1 (-244/-222) and Cav-1 (-124/-101) was prevented by the antioxidant quercetin. Combination of electrophoretic mobility shift studies, chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, Sp1 overexpression experiments, as well as promoter mutagenesis identifies enhanced Sp1 binding to two GC-boxes at -238/-231 and -118/-106 as the core mechanism of oxidative stress-triggered caveolin-1 transactivation. In addition, signaling studies show p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) as the upstream regulator of Sp1-mediated activation of the caveolin-1 promoter following oxidative stress. Inhibition of p38 MAPK prevents the oxidant-induced Sp1-mediated up-regulation of caveolin-1 protein expression and development of premature senescence. Finally, we show that oxidative stress induces p38-mediated up-regulation of caveolin-1 and premature senescence in normal human mammary epithelial cells but not in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, which do not express caveolin-1 and undergo apoptosis. This study delineates for the first time the molecular mechanisms that modulate caveolin-1 gene transcription upon oxidative stress and brings new insights into the redox control of cellular senescence in both normal and cancer cells.

Abstract
Caveolae are flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane found in many cell types. Caveolae play a role in lipid transport, endocytosis, signal transduction, and cell transformation. Expression of caveolin-1, the principal component of caveolae and a regulator of caveolae-dependent signaling and endocytosis, was investigated in lens epithelial cells and lens fiber cells in wild-type (wt) and SPARC-null mice and normal human donors in vivo and in vitro. RT-PCR, immunofluorescence and immunoblot analyses of human and murine ocular tissues revealed that caveolin-1 was expressed in the corneal epithelium, corneal endothelial cells, and blood vessels of iris, ciliary body and retina, but minimal in the normal lens epithelia or fiber cells of murine and human lens. In contrast, caveolin-1 was significantly up-regulated in mesenchymal-transdifferentiated lens epithelia in SPARC-null cataract lenses. In addition, lens epithelial cells from primary culture or from cultures of immortalized lens epithelial cell lines expressed significant amounts of caveolin-1. The lens epithelial cells expressed epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and were responsive to EGF-mediated cell proliferation, but they did not show EGF-dependent caveolin-1 tyrosine phosphorylation. Caveolin-1 might have a role in the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT) in the lens, the most common cause of vision loss in human secondary cataracts.

Abstract
Growth factors such as basic fibroblast growth factors (bFGFs) could induce the differentiation of mouse neuroblastoma cells. We examine the effect of caveolin-1 on bFGF-induced differentiation of N2a cells. Caveolin-1 blocked the formation of neurites and the phosphorylation of Erk upon bFGF treatment in N2a cells. Active mutants of Rho family small GTPases (Rac1 and Cdc42) could not affect the inhibitory effect of caveolin-1, but we could restore the differentiation of N2a cells by introducing active mutants of p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1). Over-expressed caveolin-1 could be coimmunoprecipitated with PAK1, which interrupted the steady-state Rac1/Cdc42-PAK1 interactions. From these results, we suggest that the up-regulated caveolin-1 in neuronal cells can inhibit the bFGF signaling pathway from small GTPases to PAK1 by directly binding to PAK1.

Abstract
Ceramide mediates the effects of several agonists leading to differentiation, apoptosis or senescence. We previously showed that ceramide becomes elevated in senescent fibroblasts. In the present study, senescent cultures of Wi-38 fibroblasts and human umbilical-vein endothelial cells were compared to low-passage cultures in order to identify which of the several pathways is predominantly responsible for the increased ceramide. We found that senescent cells take up the ceramide precursor [(3)H]palmitic acid and convert it to ceramide at essentially equivalent rates to their low-passage counterparts, suggesting that, as a whole, the inherent steps are unaltered. Analysis of subsequent steps, however, revealed changes in ceramide metabolism. The rate of ceramide conversion to sphingomyelin was reduced while glucosylceramide synthesis differed between the cell lines, while the rate of the reverse reactions tended to be increased in senescent cells. We also found a decrease in acidic but not alkaline ceramidase. The data show an overall change in favor increased ceramide levels. Of all of the pathways, neutral sphingomyelinase appears to be the most likely source of the senescence-associated ceramide. The relevance to mitosis and apoptosis are discussed.

Abstract
We characterized the effects of in vitro cellular aging on constituents of lipid rafts in human diploid fibroblasts, TIG-1. Cholesterol recovery from lipid rafts of senescent cells was decreased by the detaching treatment, while the decrease was far less obvious in young cells. A probe that binds selectively to cholesterol in lipid rafts revealed that the amount of lipid rafts on the cell surface decreased in senescent cells upon cell detachment. Accompanying this change was the release of the raft-associated molecules caveolin and Fyn from lipid rafts upon cell detachment, suggesting a detachment-associated disorganization of lipid rafts in senescent cells. In addition, our observations showing differential sensitivities of lipid rafts from young and senescent cells to detaching treatment indicate a caution in how to detach cells. Particular attention needs to be paid to interpreting the results when lipid rafts are prepared from mechanically detached cells under detergent-free conditions.

Abstract
Many biological functions of heme oxygenase (HO), such as cytoprotection against oxidative stress, vasodilation, neurotransmission in the central or peripheral nervous systems, and anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, or anti-proliferative potential, have been attributed to its enzymatic byproduct carbon monoxide (CO), although roles for biliverdin/bilirubin and iron have also been proposed. In addition to these well-characterized effects, recent findings reveal that HO-derived CO may act as an oxygen sensor and circadian modulator of heme biosynthesis. In lymphocytes, CO may participate in regulatory T cell function. A number of the known signaling effects of CO depend on stimulation of soluble guanylate cyclase and/or activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). Furthermore, modulation of caveolin-1 status may serve as an essential component of certain aspects of CO action, such as growth control. In this review, we summarize recent findings of the beneficial or detrimental effects of endogenous CO with an emphasis on the signaling pathways and downstream targets that trigger the action of this gas.

Abstract
This study attempts to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the ageing-dependent cAMP profiles in human diploid fibroblasts stimulated by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). In senescent cells, LPA-dependent Gialpha activation was reduced, with a consequent reduction in Gi-suppressed cAMP levels, without alterations in the levels of Gialpha proteins. In young cells, when Gialpha activity was inhibited by pertussis toxin pretreatment, or when its expression was blocked by siRNA, the pattern of changes in cAMP levels in response to LPA was similar to that seen in senescent cells. An increase in protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent isoforms of adenylyl cyclase (AC) types II, IV, and VI was also observed in these senescent fibroblasts. In senescent cells treated with PKC-specific inhibitors, bis-indolylmaleimide, Gö6976, rottlerin, and PKCvarepsilonV1, LPA-induced cAMP accumulation was inhibited, indicating that increased ACs in response to LPA occur via the activation of protein kinase Cs. When the expression of AC II, IV, and VI was blocked by siRNA in senescent fibroblasts, LPA-induced cAMP accumulation was also blocked. These results suggest that the senescence-associated increase of cAMP levels after LPA treatment is associated with reduced Gialpha, increased AC II, IV, and VI proteins, and PKC-dependent stimulation of their activities and provide an explanation for the age-dependent differences in cAMP-related physiological responses.

Abstract
Despite many endeavors, no satisfactory strategy has emerged for modulating the aging process, most probably because they were based on faulty rationales. In an extension of the "gate theory of aging" that we proposed recently, we propose here that caveolin, an essential component of caveolae structure, may offer a potential target for modulating the aging process. According to the gate theory, certain biomolecules such as caveolins, amphiphysins, G proteins, and integrins play decisive roles in determining the senescent phenotype and thus provide targets for modulating the aging process. Among these molecules, we chose caveolin, because it can associate with a variety of regulatory and structural molecules via their scaffolding domains and thereby influence a broad spectrum of biological phenomena including both the physiology and morphology of the senescent cells. This is an attempt to review the vast body of evidence available in the literature, both direct and indirect, supporting the accord of this pivotal role to the caveolin in the background of the gate theory for the aging process.

Abstract
Replicatively and oxidatively senescent human fibroblasts demonstrate an impaired response to mitogens. To investigate whether this is due to downregulation of growth factor receptors we examined their expression in these two types of senescence. mRNA and protein levels of the insulin receptor and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) alpha-receptor decreased in replicatively senescent cells. The PDGF beta-receptor and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor at the protein level also decreased but remained readily detectable. However, these major growth factor receptors remained unchanged in oxidatively premature senescent cells. This suggests that mechanisms underlying diminished responsiveness to mitogens might be different in replicative senescence and oxidatively premature senescence.

Abstract
Protein kinase B can phoshorylate and thereby inactivate the FOXO (forkhead box O) family of transcription factors. When active, FOXO factors can bind to DNA in promoter sequences and subsequently regulate gene expression. We have used DNA microarray analysis to identify potential gene targets of FOXO. In the present study we demonstrate that caveolin-1 is directly controlled by FOXO. Firstly, caveolin-1 expression was increased upon induction or over-expression of FOXO factors at both mRNA and protein levels. Second, we show that endogenous regulation of FOXO activity regulates caveolin-1 levels and that this can be inhibited by dominant-negative FOXO. Third, FOXO activates transcription from the caveolin-1 promoter, and using chromatin immunoprecipitations we demonstrated that this activation occurs via direct interaction of FOXO with the promoter. Finally, we demonstrate FOXO-mediated attenuation of EGF (epidermal growth factor)-induced signalling, which in part is mediated by caveolin-1 expression, as suggested by previous studies [Park, Park, Cho, Kim, Ko, Seo and Park (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 20847-20852]. These findings suggest a novel mechanism by which FOXO factors can exert their cellular effects via transcriptional activation of caveolin-1.

Abstract
During vascular injury, the proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells leads to characteristic neointima formation, which can be exacerbated by genetic depletion of caveolin-1 or heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), and inhibited by carbon monoxide (CO), a by-product of heme oxygenase 1 activity. CO inhibited smooth muscle cell proliferation by activating p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and p21(Waf1/Cip1). Exposure to CO increased caveolin-1 expression in neointimal lesions of injured aorta and in vitro by activating guanylyl cyclase and p38 MAPK. p38beta-/- fibroblasts did not induce caveolin-1 in response to CO, and exhibited a diminished basal caveolin-1 expression, which was restored by p38beta gene transfer. p38beta MAPK down-regulated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK-1/2), which can repress caveolin-1 transcription. Genetic depletion of caveolin-1 abolished the antiproliferative effect of CO. Thus, we demonstrate that CO, by activating p38beta MAPK, up-regulates caveolin-1, which acts as a tumor suppressor protein that mediates the growth inhibitory properties of this gas.

Abstract
The proliferative responses of cells to mitogens decrease during aging, and this may result from age-related defects in signal transduction in response to mitogens. In this study, we have investigated the age-related alteration of responses to epidermal growth factor (EGF) in cultured human keratinocytes that were senesced in vitro by repeated passage. The stimulation with EGF increased the DNA-binding activity of activator protein 1 (AP-1), an important transcription factor for cell proliferation, in young keratinocytes, whereas the binding activity showed little or slight change in the senescent cells. The induced DNA-binding activity of AP-1 in young cells was inhibited by PD 98059, an inhibitor of MEK, and partially inhibited by GF 109203X, an inhibitor of protein kinase C. Western blot analysis demonstrated that EGF induced dramatic increase in the phosphorylation of EGF receptor (EGFR) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) in young cells, while this phosphorylation was much less profound in senescent cells. Finally, the application of EGF to young cells resulted in increased phosphorylation of Fra-2, a Fos protein component of the Jun/Fos heterodimer AP-1 complex. This EGF-induced Fra-2 phosphorylation was attenuated in senescent cells. Taken together, our study suggests that the signal transduction mediated by EGF/ERK pathway is altered in senescent human keratinocytes, and this change may be attributed, in part, to the decreased AP-1 transcription activity observed in senescent keratinocytes.

Abstract
Aging can be characterized by structural changes and functional deterioration during the lifetime, for which hundreds of explanations have been put forward. Recently, we have proposed the gate theory of aging, in which gatekeeper molecules at the membrane level would play the prime role in determining the senescent phenotype. Caveolin-1 would be a prime candidate for such a role as a major determinant of the aging process. Caveolin-1 can associate with a variety of molecules, involved in signal transduction, endocytosis and transcytosis, cytoskeletal arrangement, etc. The level of caveolin-1 is strictly regulated to maintain cellular integrity, leading to cellular transformation if depleted, and to the senescent phenotype if overexpressed. In case of senescent cells, the functional and physiological responses to the mitogenic stimuli can be restored and the morphological shape can be resumed by simple adjustment of caveolin-1 status. Therefore, it is suggested that prime modulator molecules, represented by caveolin-1, play a key role in determining the senescent phenotype, either as a physiological response or altered morphology.

Abstract
Human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs) exposed to subcytotoxic stress display many features of senescence. Using differential display RT-PCR, gene expression of HDFs in premature senescence induced by tert-butylhydroperoxide or ethanol and in replicative senescence was compared to gene expression of HDFs at early cumulative population doublings. Thirty genes of known function were identified from the 265 differentially displayed cDNA fragments. A customized low-density array allowed to confirm the relative level of the corresponding 30 transcripts. We found differential expression of genes coding for proteins implicated namely in growth arrest (PTEN, IGFBP-3, LRP-1 and CAV1), senescent morphogenesis (TGF-beta1 and LOXL2) and iron metabolism (TFR and FTL).

Abstract
Growth factor receptors have been shown to be localized to lipid rafts and caveolae. Consistent with a role for these cholesterol-enriched membrane domains in growth factor receptor function, the binding and kinase activities of growth factor receptors are susceptible to regulation by changes in cholesterol content. Furthermore, knockouts of caveolin-1, the structural protein of caveolae, have confirmed that this protein, and by implication caveolae, modulate the ability of growth factor receptors to signal. This article reviews the findings pertinent to the relationship between growth factor receptors, lipid rafts and caveolae and presents a model for understanding the disparate observations regarding the role of membrane microdomains in the regulation of growth factor receptor function.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) has drawn much attention in the aspect of tissue renewal and wound healing because of its multipotency. We initially observed that bone marrow-derived human MSCs (hMSCs) divided poorly and took flat and enlarged morphology after expanded in culture over a certain number of cell passage, which resembled characteristic features of senescent cells, well-studied in human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs). More interestingly, adipogenic differentiation potential of hMSCs sharply declined as they approached the end of their proliferative life span. In this study, altered hMSCs were verified to be senescent by their senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-gal) activity and the increased expression of cell cycle regulating proteins (p16(INK4a), p21(Waf1) and p53). Similar as in HDFs, basal phosphorylation level of ERK was also significantly increased in senescent hMSCs, implying altered signal paths commonly shared by the senescent cells. Insulin, a major component of adipogenesis inducing medium, did not phosphorylate ERK 1/2 more in senescent hMSCs after its addition whereas it did in young cells. In senescent hMSCs, we also found a significant increase of caveolin-1 expression, previously reported as a cause for the attenuated response to growth factors in senescent HDFs. When we overexpressed caveolin-1 in young hMSC, not only insulin signaling but also adipogenic differentiation was significantly suppressed with down-regulated PPARgamma2. These data indicate that loss of adipogenic differentiation potential in senescent hMSC is mediated by the over-expression of caveolin-1.

Abstract
The aging process is known to be regulated by specific genes in various organisms, including yeast, the nematode C. elegans, fruitflies and mice. To explore the novel genes involved in aging process, we applied cDNA microarray technology to a replicative senescence model of human dermal fibroblasts (HDF). Eighty-four genes, including inflammatory genes, cell cycle regulatory genes, cytoskeletal genes, and metabolic genes were found to show more than two fold expressional differences in young and old fibroblasts. Furthermore, 31 genes were confirmed to be up- or down-regulated during replicative senescence by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The overexpressions of several genes including CD36, putative lymphocyte G0/G1 switch gene (G0S2), tumor protein D52-like 1 (TPD52L1), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 6, myxovirus resistant gene 1 (MX1), and the down-regulation of the immunoglobulin superfamily containing leucine-rich repeat (ISLR), neurotrimin, insulin-like growth factor 2 associated protein (IGF2A), and apoptosis-related RNA binding protein (NAPOR3) were newly identified. These results suggest that fibroblasts show the deregulation of various cellular processes, such as inflammatory response, mitosis, cell adhesion, transport, signal transduction, and metabolism during replicative senescence.

Abstract
Human cells in culture have a limited proliferative capacity. After a period of vigorous proliferation, the rate of cell division declines and a number of changes occur in the cells including increases in size, in secondary lysosomes and residual bodies, nuclear changes and a number of changes in gene expression which provide biomarkers for senescence. Although human cells in culture have been used for over 40 years as models for understanding the cellular basis of aging, the relationship of replicative senescence to aging of the organism is still not clear. In this review, we discuss replicative senescence in the light of current information on signal transduction and mitogenesis, cell stress, apoptosis, telomere changes and finally we discuss replicative senescence as a model of aging in vivo.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that cholesterol plays a central role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Caveolin is a cholesterol-binding membrane protein involved in cellular cholesterol transport. We investigated the changes in the protein amount of hippocampal caveolin of autopsy-confirmed AD and aged-matched control subjects. Our results demonstrate that caveolin protein levels in the hippocampus and caveolin mRNA in the frontal cortex are up-regulated in AD by approximately two-fold, compared to control brains. These results suggest a relationship between caveolin-1 expression levels and a dysregulation of cholesterol homeostasis at the plasma membrane of brain cells. In support of this hypothesis, a significant increase in caveolin protein levels has also been observed in hippocampal tissue from ApoE-deficient (knockout) and aged wild-type mice; two situations associated with modifications of transbilayer distribution of cholesterol in brain synaptic plasma membranes. These results indicate that caveolin over-expression is linked to alterations of cholesterol distribution in the plasma membrane of brain cells and are consistent with the notion of a deterioration of cholesterol homeostasis in AD.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that aging is a phenomenon of irreversibility, inevitability, and universality with parenchymal loss and functional decline. Consequently, the major goals of aging research are focused on the development of a replace strategy of the aged organs or cells, based on immortalizing tools, stem cells, or artificial substitutes. Recently, however, a new concept of functional recovery has been introduced on the basis of the functional restoration of the responsiveness of the senescent cells toward a variety of agonists, including growth factors. The aging phenotypes of hyporesponsiveness and morphological alteration are shown to be readily adjusted by modulation of the several membrane-associated molecules, named gatekeeper molecules, among which caveolin is one of the major determinants. Caveolin is the essential component of the caveolae, responsible for regulation of signal transduction, endocytosis and trancytosis, and cytoskeletal arrangement via its scaffolding domain. The caveolin status is associated strictly with cellular transformation, if depleted, and with senescent phenotype, if overexpressed. Therefore, simple reduction of caveolin status in senescent cells leads to restoration of the functional responsiveness to mitogenic stimuli and even of the cellular shape. These data strongly suggest that the gatekeeper molecules, represented by caveolin, may play the prime role in determination of the senescent phenotypes. From these results, it can be summarized that the replace principle would not necessarily be the essential one, but the restore principle can be somehow substituted for the betterment of the aged cells and organisms.

Abstract
Morphological change is one of the cardinal features of the senescent phenotype; for example, senescent human diploid cells have a flat large shape. However, the mechanisms underlying such senescence-related morphological alterations have not been well studied. To investigate this situation, we characterized the senescence-dependent changes of cellular structural determinants in terms of their levels and activities. These determinants included integrins, focal adhesion complexes, and small Rho GTPases, and special emphasis was placed on their relationships with caveolin-1 status. We observed that the expression integrin beta(1) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) were increased and that the phosphorylations of FAK and paxillin, hallmarks of focal adhesion formation, were also increased in senescent human diploid fibroblast cells. Moreover, the Rho GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42 were found to be highly activated in senescent cells. In addition, focal adhesion complexes and Rho GTPases were up-regulated in the caveolin-rich membrane domain in the senescent cells. Activated Rac1 and Cdc42 directly interacted with caveolin-1 in senescent cells. Interestingly, caveolin-1 knock-out senescent cells, achieved by using small interfering RNA and antisense oligonucleotide, showed disrupted focal adhesion formation and actin stress fibers via the inactivation of FAK, which resulted in morphological adjustment to the young cell-like small spindle shape. Based on the results obtained, we propose that caveolin-1 plays an important role in senescence-associated morphological changes by regulating focal adhesion kinase activity and actin stress fiber formation in the senescent cells.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the correlation of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in fibroblasts after serial passage in vitro. We used early-passage ( approximately 20 mean population division, MPD) and late-passage ( approximately 60 MPD) human skin fibroblasts to study the LDLr expression and MAPK at basal and after interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) stimulation. We found a reduced LDLr expression in late-passage fibroblasts in comparison with early-passage fibroblasts, and late-passage fibroblasts showed a delayed induction of MAPK after IL-1beta stimulation, confirmed by the delay in translocation of MAPK from cytoplasmic to nuclear fraction. Using two specific inhibitors of MAPK, we could show a reduced LDLr expression in early-passage fibroblasts, indicating a direct relationship between MAPK signaling and LDLr expression. We conclude that one of the reasons for reduced LDLr gene expression in late passage fibroblast is related to MAPK signaling.

Abstract
We evaluated the nuclear actin accumulation as a new marker of cellular senescence, using human diploid fibroblast (HDF), chondrocyte primary cultures, Mv1Lu epithelial cells, and Huh7 cancer cells. Nuclear accumulation of globular actin (G-actin) and dephosphorylated cofilin was highly significant in the senescent HDF cells, accompanied with inhibition of LIM kinase (LIMK) -1 activity. When nuclear export of the actin was induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, DNA synthesis of the senescent cells increased significantly, accompanied with changes of morphologic and biochemical profiles, such as increased RB protein phosphorylation and decreased expressions of p21(WAF1), cytoplasmic p-extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, and caveolins 1 and 2. Significance of these findings was strengthened additionally by the fact that nuclear actin export of young HDF cells was inhibited by the treatment with leptomycin B and mutant cofilin transfection, whose LIMK-1 phosphorylation site was lost, and the old cell phenotypes were duplicated with nuclear actin accumulation, suggesting that nuclear actin accumulation was accompanied with G1 arrest during cellular senescence. The aforementioned changes were observed not only in the replicative senescence but also in the senescence induced by treatment of HDF cells, Mv1Lu, primary culture of human chondrocytes, or Huh7 cells with H-ras virus infection, hydroxyurea, deferoxamine, or H(2)O(2). Nuclear actin accumulation was much more sensitive and an earlier event than the well-known, senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity.
