Abstract
Caveolae are flask-shaped invaginations of the cell membrane rich in cholesterol and sphingomyelin, with caveolin proteins acting as their primary structural components that allow compartmentalization and orchestration of various signalling molecules. In this review, we discuss how pleiotropic functions of caveolin-1 (Cav1) and its intricate roles in numerous cellular functions including lipid trafficking, signalling, cell migration and proliferation, as well as cellular senescence, infection and inflammation, are integral for normal development and functioning of skin and its appendages. We then examine how disruption of the homeostatic levels of Cav1 can lead to development of various cutaneous pathophysiologies including skin cancers, cutaneous fibroses, psoriasis, alopecia, age-related changes in skin and aberrant wound healing and propose how levels of Cav1 may have theragnostic value in skin physiology/pathophysiology.

Role of Caveolin-1 in Diabetes and Its Complications. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:9761539.

Abstract
It is estimated that in 2017 there were 451 million people with diabetes worldwide. These figures are expected to increase to 693 million by 2045; thus, innovative preventative programs and treatments are a necessity to fight this escalating pandemic disorder. Caveolin-1 (CAV1), an integral membrane protein, is the principal component of caveolae in membranes and is involved in multiple cellular functions such as endocytosis, cholesterol homeostasis, signal transduction, and mechanoprotection. Previous studies demonstrated that CAV1 is critical for insulin receptor-mediated signaling, insulin secretion, and potentially the development of insulin resistance. Here, we summarize the recent progress on the role of CAV1 in diabetes and diabetic complications.

Abstract
With a propensity to invade the dermal lymphatic vessels of the skin overlying the breast and readily metastasize, inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is arguably the deadliest form of breast cancer. We previously reported that caveolin-1 is overexpressed in IBC and that RhoC GTPase is a metastatic switch responsible for the invasive phenotype. RhoC-driven invasion requires phosphorylation by Akt1. Using a reliable IBC cell line we set out to determine if caveolin-1 expression affects RhoC-mediated IBC invasion. Caveolin-1 was down regulated by introduction of siRNA or a caveolin scaffolding domain. The ability of the cells to invade was tested and the status of Akt1 and RhoC GTPase examined. IBC cell invasion is significantly decreased when caveolin-1 is down regulated. Activation of Akt1 is decreased when caveolin-1 is down regulated, leading to decreased phosphorylation of RhoC GTPase. Thus, we report here that caveolin-1 overexpression mediates IBC cell invasion through activation Akt1, which phosphorylates RhoC GTPase.

Abstract
Integrin linked kinase (ILK) connects the ILK-Pinch-Parvin complex with integrin adhesion sites. Because of the functional relevance of integrin-linked signaling for endothelial cell (EC) biology, we have explored this pathway in Ilk(-/-) embryonic stem (ES) cells differentiated into ECs and vessel-like structures. We have focused in particular on the mechanistic relevance of ILK-Pinch-Parvin complex-related signaling for EC development and tube formation. Our analysis revealed that the formation of vessel-like structures was strongly reduced in Ilk(-/-) ES cells and that this phenotype could be rescued by re-expression of ILK in ES cells. ECs were MACS sorted from wild-type (WT) and Ilk(-/-) ES cells and functional analysis using intracellular calcium imaging as the read-out yielded a complete lack of vascular endothelial growth factor- and epidermal growth factor-dependent responses. The possibility of a caveolin 1-related defect was investigated by transfecting WT and Ilk(-/-) ECs with a caveolin 1-EGFP fusion protein. Time-lapse microscopy showed that the prominent phenotype is due to altered dynamics of caveolin 1 and to a lack of positioning of caveolin 1 in the vicinity of the plasma membrane and that it is rescued by re-expressing ILK in the Ilk(-/-) ES cells. We also found that the defect is caused by the perturbed organization of microtubules and cortical actin filaments. Thus, ILK is required as a scaffold to allow actin-microtubule interactions and correct positioning of caveolin 1 close to the plasma membrane. This is crucial for signaling compartmentalization in ECs and explains the key role of ILK for EC development and function.

Abstract
Caveolins (Cavs) are integrated plasma membrane proteins that are complex signaling regulators with numerous partners and whose activity is highly dependent on cellular context. Cavs are both positive and negative regulators of cell signaling in and/or out of caveolae, invaginated lipid raft domains whose formation is caveolin expression dependent. Caveolins and rafts have been implicated in membrane compartmentalization; proteins and lipids accumulate in these membrane microdomains where they transmit fast, amplified and specific signaling cascades. The concept of plasma membrane organization within functional rafts is still in exploration and sometimes questioned. In this chapter, we discuss the opposing functions of caveolin in cell signaling regulation focusing on the role of caveolin both as a promoter and inhibitor of different signaling pathways and on the impact of membrane domain localization on caveolin functionality in cell proliferation, survival, apoptosis and migration.

Abstract
At the cell surface, activation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor triggers a complex network of signalling events that regulate a variety of cellular processes. For signal termination, the activated EGF receptor is internalised and targeted to lysosomes for degradation. Microdomain localization at the plasma membrane and endocytic transport of the EGFR is important for the formation of compartment-specific signalling complexes and is regulated by scaffolding and targeting proteins. This includes Ca2+-effector proteins, such as calmodulin and annexins (Anx), in particular AnxA1, AnxA2, AnxA6 and as shown recently,AnxA8. Given that these annexins show differences in their expression patterns, subcellular localization and mode of action, they are likely to differentially contribute and cooperate in the fine-tuning of EGFR activity. In support of this hypothesis, current literature suggests these annexins to be involved in different steps that control the endocytic transport and signalling of the EGF receptor. This review summarizes how the coordinated activity of AnxA1, AnxA2, AnxA6 and AnxA8 can contribute to regulate EGF receptor localization and activity.

Abstract
Formyl peptide-receptor like-1 (FPRL-1) may possess critical roles in Alzheimer's diseases, chemotaxis and release of neurotoxins, possibly through its regulation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NFkappaB). Here we illustrate that activation of FPRL-1 in human U87 astrocytoma or Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing the receptor resulted in the phosphorylations of inhibitor-kappaB kinase (IKK), an onset kinase for NFkappaB signaling cascade. FPRL-1 selective hexapeptide Trp-Lys-Tyr-Met-Val-Met (WKYMVM) promoted IKK phosphorylations in time- and dose-dependent manners while pre-treatment of pertussis toxin abrogated the Galpha(i/o)-dependent stimulations. The FPRL-1-mediated IKK phosphorylation required extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and cellular Src (c-Src), but not c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Despite its ability to mobilize Ca(2+), WKYMVM did not require Ca(2+) for the modulation of IKK phosphorylation. Activation of FPRL-1 also induced NFkappaB-driven luciferase expression. Interestingly, cholesterol depletion from plasma membrane by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin abolished the FPRL-1-stimulated IKK phosphorylation, denoting the important role of lipid raft integrity in the FPRL-1 to IKK signaling. Furthermore, we demonstrated that in U87 cells, several signaling intermediates in the FPRL-1-IKK pathway including Galpha(i2), c-Src and ERK were constitutively localized at the raft microdomains. WKYMVM administration not only resulted in higher amount of ERK recruitment to the raft region, but also specifically stimulated raft-associated c-Src and ERK phosphorylations. Taken together, these results demonstrate that FPRL-1 is capable of activating NFkappaB signaling through IKK phosphorylation and this may serve as a useful therapeutical target for FPRL-1-related diseases.

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
The new field of membrane rafts has provided fresh insight and a novel framework in which to understand the interaction, relation, and organization of lipids and proteins within cell membranes. This review will examine our current understanding of membrane rafts and their role in human health. In addition, the effect of various lipids, including dietary lipids, on membrane raft structure and function will be discussed. Membrane rafts are found in all cells and are characterized by their high concentration of cholesterol, sphingolipids, and saturated fatty acids. These lipids impart lateral segregation of membrane proteins, thus facilitating the spatial organization and regulation of membrane proteins involved in many cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell signaling. Therefore, membrane rafts are shedding new light on the origins of metabolic disturbances and diseases such as cancer, insulin resistance, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's disease, which will be further discussed in this review.

Abstract
Intravascular pressure-induced vasoconstriction (the "myogenic response") is intrinsic to smooth muscle cells, but mechanisms that underlie this response are unresolved. Here we investigated the physiological function of arterial smooth muscle cell caveolae in mediating the myogenic response. Since caveolin-1 (cav-1) ablation abolishes caveolae formation in arterial smooth muscle cells, myogenic mechanisms were compared in cerebral arteries from control (cav-1(+/+)) and cav-1-deficient (cav-1(-/-)) mice. At low intravascular pressure (10 mmHg), wall membrane potential, intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), and myogenic tone were similar in cav-1(+/+) and cav-1(-/-) arteries. In contrast, pressure elevations to between 30 and 70 mmHg induced a smaller depolarization, [Ca(2+)](i) elevation, and myogenic response in cav-1(-/-) arteries. Depolarization induced by 60 mM K(+) also produced an attenuated [Ca(2+)](i) elevation and constriction in cav-1(-/-) arteries, whereas extracellular Ca(2+) removal and diltiazem, an L-type Ca(2+) channel blocker, similarly dilated cav-1(+/+) and cav-1(-/-) arteries. N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine, an nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, did not restore myogenic tone in cav-1(-/-) arteries. Iberiotoxin, a selective Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (K(Ca)) channel blocker, induced a similar depolarization and constriction in pressurized cav-1(+/+) and cav-1(-/-) arteries. Since pressurized cav-1(-/-) arteries are more hyperpolarized and this effect would reduce K(Ca) current, these data suggest that cav-1 ablation leads to functional K(Ca) channel activation, an effect that should contribute to the attenuated myogenic constriction. In summary, data indicate that cav-1 ablation reduces pressure-induced depolarization and depolarization-induced Ca(2+) influx, and these effects combine to produce a diminished arterial wall [Ca(2+)](i) elevation and constriction.

Abstract
Caveolin-1 is the major structural protein in caveolae; small Omega-shaped invaginations within the plasma membrane. Caveolae are involved in signal transduction, wherein caveolin-1 acts as a scaffold to organise multiple molecular complexes regulating a variety of cellular events. Caveolin-1 has both tumour suppressor and oncogenic activities. However, recent evidence suggests a role for caveolin-1 in promoting cancer cell migration and metastasis with both loss and overexpression of caveolin-1 being described as a marker for progression in a variety of tumour types. Further studies are beginning to determine the molecular mechanisms by which caveolin-1 acts in promoting a metastatic phenotype. Targeting caveolin-1 expression may present a novel means of preventing metastasis. The purpose of this review is twofold: firstly, to survey the current knowledge of the contribution of caveolin-1 in promoting a metastasis, and secondly, to explore the viability of targeting caveolin-1 with novel therapeutics.

Abstract
The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an often lethal birth defect resulting from mutations in the gene responsible for the synthesis of the enzyme 3beta-hydroxy-steroid-Delta7-reductase, which catalyzes the reduction of the double bond at carbon 7 on 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) to form unesterified cholesterol. We hypothesize that the deficiency in cholesterol biosynthesis and subsequent accumulation of 7-DHC in the cell membrane leads to defective composition, organization, dynamics, and function of the cell membrane. Using skin fibroblasts obtained from SLOS patients, we demonstrate that the SLOS membrane has increased 7-DHC and reduced cholesterol content and abnormal membrane fluidity. X-ray diffraction analyses of synthetic membranes prepared to mimic SLOS membranes revealed atypical membrane organization. In addition, calcium permeability is markedly augmented, whereas membrane-bound Na+/K+ATPase activity, folate uptake, inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate signaling, and cell proliferation rates are markedly suppressed. These data indicate that the disturbance in membrane sterol content in SLOS, likely at the level of membrane caveolae, directly contributes to the widespread tissue abnormalities in this disease.

Abstract
We have shown that the caveolar Na/K-ATPase transmits ouabain signals via multiple signalplexes. To obtain the information on the composition of such complexes, we separated the Na/K-ATPase from the outer medulla of rat kidney into two different fractions by detergent treatment and density gradient centrifugation. Analysis of the light fraction indicated that both PLC-gamma1 and IP3 receptors (isoforms 2 and 3, IP3R2 and IP3R3) were coenriched with the Na/K-ATPase, caveolin-1 and Src. GST pulldown assays revealed that the central loop of the Na/K-ATPase alpha1 subunit interacts with PLC-gamma1, whereas the N-terminus binds IP3R2 and IP3R3, suggesting that the signaling Na/K-ATPase may tether PLC-gamma1 and IP3 receptors together to form a Ca(2+)-regulatory complex. This notion is supported by the following findings. First, both PLC-gamma1 and IP3R2 coimmunoprecipitated with the Na/K-ATPase and ouabain increased this interaction in a dose- and time-dependent manner in LLC-PK1 cells. Depletion of cholesterol abolished the effects of ouabain on this interaction. Second, ouabain induced phosphorylation of PLC-gamma1 at Tyr(783) and activated PLC-gamma1 in a Src-dependent manner, resulting in increased hydrolysis of PIP2. It also stimulated Src-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the IP3R2. Finally, ouabain induced Ca(2+) release from the intracellular stores via the activation of IP3 receptors in LLC-PK1 cells. This effect required the ouabain-induced activation of PLC-gamma1. Inhibition of Src or depletion of cholesterol also abolished the effect of ouabain on intracellular Ca(2+).

Abstract
Membrane microdomains are assembled by lipid partitioning (e.g., rafts) or by protein–protein interactions (e.g., coated vesicles). During docking, yeast vacuoles assemble “vertex” ring-shaped microdomains around the periphery of their apposed membranes. Vertices are selectively enriched in the Rab GTPase Ypt7p, the homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting complex (HOPS)–VpsC Rab effector complex, SNAREs, and actin. Membrane fusion initiates at vertex microdomains. We now find that the “regulatory lipids” ergosterol, diacylglycerol and 3- and 4-phosphoinositides accumulate at vertices in a mutually interdependent manner. Regulatory lipids are also required for the vertex enrichment of SNAREs, Ypt7p, and HOPS. Conversely, SNAREs and actin regulate phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate vertex enrichment. Though the PX domain of the SNARE Vam7p has direct affinity for only 3-phosphoinositides, all the regulatory lipids which are needed for vertex assembly affect Vam7p association with vacuoles. Thus, the assembly of the vacuole vertex ring microdomain arises from interdependent lipid and protein partitioning and binding rather than either lipid partitioning or protein interactions alone.

Abstract
A GTPase activating protein (GAP), p122, has previously been cloned as a phospholipase C (PLC)delta1-interacting protein. p122 shows a specific GAP activity for Rho and enhances the enzyme activity of PLCdelta1. In this study, we examined the localization and functions of p122/RhoGAP, using enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-tagged proteins. EGFP-p122 was observed as punctate structures at the plasma membrane of BHK (fibroblastic) cells and MDCK (epithelial) cells. This patchy distribution depended on membrane cholesterol levels and the C-terminal region of p122 containing the GAP domain was responsible for it. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation and immunostaining of caveolin-1 revealed that p122 was localized in caveolin-enriched membrane domains mainly via its GAP domain. We demonstrated that transient expression of EGFP-p122 caused internalization of caveolin-1. Moreover, when the EGFP-tagged GAP domain was introduced in another fibroblastic cell line, NRK cells, punctate fluorescent structures were co-localized with caveolin-1. In this case, caveolin-1-positive structures were found in patches of F-actin, unlike those of untransfected cells that formed linear arrays along with actin stress fibres. These results suggest that p122 is localized in caveolae and plays an important role in caveolin distribution through reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Communication between receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)- and G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated signaling systems has received increasing attention in recent years. Here, we report that activation of G protein-coupled bradykinin B2 receptor induces an up-regulation of cellular responses mediated by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and provide essential mechanistic characteristics of this sensitization process. EGF, which failed to evoke detectable amount of calcium increase and neurotransmitter release when administrated alone in primary cultures of rat adrenal chromaffin cells and PC12 cells, became capable of inducing these responses specifically after bradykinin pretreatment. Both EGFR and non-receptor tyrosine kinase p60Src, whose kinase activities were required in the sensitization, were found to be enriched in cholesterol-rich lipid rafts. Bradykinin caused activation of p60Src and Src-dependent phosphorylation of the EGFR on Tyr-845 in lipid rafts, as well as recruitment of phospholipase C (PLC) gamma1 to the rafts. Depletion of cholesterol by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin disrupted the raft localization of EGFR and Src, as well as bradykinin-induced translocation of PLCgamma1. Furthermore, sensitization, which was impaired by cholesterol depletion, was restored by repletion of cholesterol. Therefore, we suggest that lipid rafts are essential participants in the regulation of receptor-mediated signal transduction and cross-talk via organizing signaling complexes in membrane microdomains.

Abstract
E-selectin, an endothelial cell surface adhesion receptor for leukocytes, also acts as a signaling receptor. Upon multivalent ligation, E-selectin transduces outside-in signals into the endothelium leading to changes in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway. In addition, following leukocyte engagement, E-selectin associates via its cytoplasmic domain with components of the actin cytoskeleton and undergoes alterations in phosphorylation state that result in changes in gene expression. In this study, we show that E-selectin is localized in cholesterol-rich lipid rafts at the cell surface, and that upon ligation E-selectin clusters and redistributes in the plasma membrane colocalizing with a fraction of caveolin-1-containing rafts. In addition, we demonstrate that leukocyte adhesion via E-selectin results in association with and activation of phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma). Moreover, we show that disruption of lipid rafts with the cholesterol-depleting drug methyl-beta-cyclodextrin disrupts the raft localization of E-selectin as well as the ligation-induced association of E-selectin with PLCgamma, and subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of PLCgamma. In contrast, cholesterol depletion has no effect on E-selectin-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Thus, these findings demonstrate that the presence of E-selectin in lipid rafts is necessary for its association with, and activation of, PLCgamma, and suggest that this subcellular localization of E-selectin is related to its signaling function(s) during leukocyte-endothelial interactions.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor has an important role in cellular proliferation, and the enzymatic activity of phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma1 is regarded to be critical for EGF-induced mitogenesis. In this study, we report for the first time a phospholipase complex composed of PLC-gamma1 and phospholipase D2 (PLD2). PLC-gamma1 is co-immunoprecipitated with PLD2 in COS-7 cells. The results of in vitro binding analysis and co-immunoprecipitation analysis in COS-7 cells show that the Src homology (SH) 3 domain of PLC-gamma1 binds to the proline-rich motif within the Phox homology (PX) domain of PLD2. The interaction between PLC-gamma1 and PLD2 is EGF stimulation-dependent and potentiates EGF-induced inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) formation and Ca(2+) increase. Mutating Pro-145 and Pro-148 within the PX domain of PLD2 to leucines disrupts the interaction between PLC-gamma1 and PLD2 and fails to potentiate EGF-induced IP(3) formation and Ca(2+) increase. However, neither PLD2 wild type nor PLD2 mutant affects the EGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma1. These findings suggest that, upon EGF stimulation, PLC-gamma1 directly interacts with PLD2 and this interaction is important for PLC-gamma1 activity.

Abstract
The structure of phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLC-gamma1) contains two SH2 domains and one SH3 domain. While the function of the SH2 domains in PLC-gamma1 are well described, to date no growth factor-dependent function for the SH3 domain has been presented. To assess SH3 domain function in the context of the full-length PLC-gamma1, this domain was deleted and the mutant was stably expressed in Plcg1 null mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Following EGF treatment of cells, the PLC-gamma1DeltaSH3 mutant displayed the same increased level of tyrosine phosphorylation and association with EGF receptor as wild-type PLC-gamma1. Also, the SH3 mutant demonstrated membrane translocation and mediated the mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) in response to EGF. c-Cbl is shown to associate with tyrosine phosphorylated PLC-gamma1 in an EGF-dependent manner, but no association was detected with the PLC-gamma1DeltaSH3 mutant. Interestingly, PDGF, which also tyrosine phosphorylates PLC-gamma1, failed to induce c-Cbl association with PLC-gamma1 and also provoked no c-Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation. This suggests that c-Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation is necessary for its interaction with PLC-gamma1. Evidence of a direct association of c-Cbl with PLC-gamma1 was provided by pull-down and overlay experiments, using glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins that contain the SH3 domain of PLC-gamma1. The data, therefore, show an EGF-inducible direct association of PLC-gamma1 with c-Cbl in vivo that is mediated by the SH3 domain of PLC-gamma1.

Abstract
Numerous studies have implicated either the presence or absence of CD36 in the development of hypertension. In addition, hypercholesterolemia is associated with the loss of nitric oxide-induced vasodilation and the subsequent increase in blood pressure. In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that diet-induced hypercholesterolemia promotes the disruption of agonist-stimulated nitric oxide generation and vasodilation in a CD36-dependent manner. To test this, C57BL/6, apoE null, CD36 null, and apoE/CD36 null mice were maintained on chow or high fat diets. In contrast to apoE null mice fed a chow diet, apoE null mice fed a high fat diet did not respond to acetylcholine with a decrease in blood pressure. Caveolae isolated from in vivo vessels did not contain endothelial nitric-oxide synthase and were depleted of cholesterol. Age-matched apoE/CD36 null mice fed a chow or high fat diet responded to acetylcholine with a decrease in blood pressure. The mechanism underlying the vascular dysfunction was reversible because vessels isolated from apoE null high fat-fed mice regained responsiveness to acetylcholine when incubated with plasma obtained from chow-fed mice. Further analysis demonstrated that the plasma low density lipoprotein fraction was responsible for depleting caveolae of cholesterol, removing endothelial nitric-oxide synthase from caveolae, and preventing nitric oxide production. In addition, the pharmacological removal of caveola cholesterol with cyclodextrin mimicked the effects caused by the low density lipoprotein fraction. We conclude that the ablation of CD36 prevented the negative impact of hypercholesterolemia on agonist-stimulated nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation in apoE null mice. These studies provide a direct link between CD36 and the early events that underlie hypercholesterolemia-mediated hypertension and mechanistic linkages between CD36 function, nitric-oxide synthase activation, caveolae integrity, and blood pressure regulation.

Abstract
Cholesterol depletion has been shown to increase mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in response to stimulation with epidermal growth factor (EGF) (Furuchi, T., and Anderson, R. G. W. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 21099-21104). However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We show that cholesterol depletion increases EGF binding, whereas cholesterol loading lowers EGF binding. Based on binding analyses, we demonstrate that the observed changes in EGF binding are caused by alterations in the number of EGF receptors available for ligand binding, whereas the affinity of the receptor for EGF remains unaltered. We also show by immunofluorescence that in unstimulated cells the EGF receptor is localized in non-caveolar lipid rafts containing the ganglioside GM1 and that patching of these rafts by cholera toxin B-chain causes co-patching of EGF receptors. Experiments with solubilization in different detergents at 4 degrees C show that the association of the EGF receptor with these rafts is sensitive to Triton X-100 extraction but insensitive to extraction with another non-ionic detergent, Brij 58. Furthermore, experiments with cholesterol-depleted cells show that the association is cholesterol-dependent. We propose that non-caveolar lipid rafts function as negative regulators of EGF receptor signaling by sequestering a fraction of the EGF receptors in a state inaccessible for ligand binding.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors have been reported to signal via caveolin-containing membranes called caveolae. In contrast, others report that EGF and PDGF receptors are exclusively associated with caveolin-devoid membranes called rafts. Our subcellular fractionation and coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrate that, in the absence of ligand, EGF and PDGF receptors are associated with rafts. However, in the presence of ligand, EGF and PDGF receptors transiently associate with caveolae. Surprisingly, pretreatment of cells with EGF prevents PDGF-dependent phosphorylation of PDGF receptors and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 kinase activation. Furthermore, cells pretreated with PDGF prevent EGF-dependent phosphorylation of EGF receptors and ERK1/2 kinase activation. Radioligand binding studies demonstrate that incubation of cells with EGF or PDGF causes both EGF and PDGF receptors to be reversibly sequestered from the extracellular space. Experiments with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, filipin, and antisense caveolin-1 demonstrate that sequestration of the receptors is dependent on cholesterol and caveolin-1. We conclude that ligand-induced stimulation of EGF or PDGF receptors can cause the heterologous desensitization of the other receptor by sequestration in cholesterol-rich, caveolin-containing membranes or caveolae.

Abstract
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), a member of the Tec family of protein-tyrosine kinases, has been shown to be crucial for B cell development, differentiation, and signaling. Mutations in the Btk gene lead to X-linked agammaglobulinemia in humans and X-linked immunodeficiency in mice. Using a co-transfection approach, we present evidence here that Btk interacts physically with caveolin-1, a 22-kDa integral membrane protein, which is the principal structural and regulatory component of caveolae membranes. In addition, we found that native Bmx, another member of the Tec family kinases, is associated with endogenous caveolin-1 in primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Second, in transient transfection assays, expression of caveolin-1 leads to a substantial reduction in the in vivo tyrosine phosphorylation of both Btk and its constitutively active form, E41K. Furthermore, a caveolin-1 scaffolding peptide (amino acids 82--101) functionally suppressed the autokinase activity of purified recombinant Btk protein. Third, we demonstrate that mouse splenic B-lymphocytes express substantial amounts of caveolin-1. Interestingly, caveolin-1 was found to be constitutively phosphorylated on tyrosine 14 in these cells. The expression of caveolin-1 in B-lymphocytes and its interaction with Btk may have implications not only for B cell activation and signaling, but also for antigen presentation.

Abstract
Growth factor-dependent translocation of phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1) was investigated using a green fluorescent protein-tagged PLC-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1-GFP) expressed in human epidermoid carcinoma A-431 cells. In the absence of growth factors, PLC-gamma1-GFP was present throughout the cytoplasm of A-431 cells. Treatment of the cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) produced a very rapid redistribution of PLC-gamma1-GFP to the plasma membrane in a nonuniform manner. This translocation to the plasma membrane was insensitive to an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and was independent of cell adhesion. However, the translocation was disrupted by an agent which depolymerizes the actin cytoskeleton. At later times following the addition of EGF, PLC-gamma1-GFP appeared associated with intracellular vesicles. Stimulation of A-431 cells by Texas red-conjugated EGF for more than 10 min resulted in punctate intracellular PLC-gamma1-GFP distribution that colocalized with Texas red-conjugated EGF. This suggests that PLC-gamma1 is translocated to endosomes after EGF treatment, probably by associating with the internalized and autophosphorylated EGF receptor. Fractionation studies demonstrated that the EGF-induced plasma membrane-localized PLC-gamma1 is concentrated in caveolae microdomains. Disruption of caveolae with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin resulted in the ablation of EGF-induced, but not bradykinin-induced, mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+). This treatment, however, only partially decreased PLC-gamma1 membrane translocation.
