), or bacterial ß-galactosidase (Ad.LacZ). This mutant has been reported to cause human limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. It lacks 9 nucleotides in the caveolin scaffolding domain and behaves in a dominant-negative fashion. Rat neonatal cardiomyocytes were infected with the virus and then harvested 36 hours after infection. In noninfected cells, phenylephrine (PE) and endothelin-1 (ET) increased cell size and [3H]leucine incorporation, along with the induction of sarcomeric reorganization and the reexpression of ß-myosin heavy chain, indicating myocyte hypertrophy. Infection with Ad.LacZ had no effect on those parameters. Ad.Cav-3 prevented the PE- and ET-induced increases in cell size, leucine incorporation, sarcomeric reorganization, and reexpression of ß-myosin heavy chain. Ad.Cav-3 also blocked the PE- and ET-induced phosphorylations of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) but did not affect c-Jun amino-terminal kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activities. In contrast, Ad.Cav-3
significantly augmented hypertrophic responses to ET, which were associated with increased ET-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2. These results suggest that caveolin-3 behaves as a negative regulator of hypertrophic responses, probably through suppression of ERK1/2 activity.

and -1ß, caveolin-2, and caveolin-3). Caveolin-1 and -2 are coexpressed and abundantly expressed in adipocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. In cardiomyocytes, caveolin-3 is the dominant isotype.3 Caveolin-3 is critical for normal muscle function. It is involved in the development of T-tubule systems, and missense mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and rippling muscle disease.57 In cardiomyocytes, caveolin-3 might be involved in the regulation of channel functions. The cardiac sodium-calcium exchanger is likely to be associated with caveolin-3.8 Moreover, a recent report has suggested that caveolin-3 plays a role in the increase in sodium current amplitude in cardiomyocytes.9 Some reports imply roles for caveolin-3 in pathophysiology of the heart. In the dog with pacing-induced heart failure, expression of caveolin-3 protein is increased.10 This increase is associated with agonist-stimulated contractile augmentation by inhibition of nitric oxide synthase, suggesting that caveolin-3 is involved in nitric oxide influences on contractility in failing myocardium.10
It has been reported that molecules involved in cardiac hypertrophic responses are concentrated in caveolae, eg, G proteins, extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), Src family kinases, Ras, and protein kinase C.1,4 We have reported that caveolin-3 is upregulated in hypertrophied cardiomyocytes induced by phenylephrine (PE).11 However, the role of caveolin-3 in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy still remains unknown: it might promote hypertrophy, might inhibit hypertrophy, or might simply be a consequence of hypertrophy. We investigated the effect of adenovirus-mediated overexpression of wild-type and dominant-negative caveolin-3 on hypertrophic responses to Gq-dependent agonists in cardiomyocytes.

Preparation of Recombinant Adenovirus Vector
We constructed a recombinant adenovirus that encoded human wild-type caveolin-3 (Ad.Cav-3), mutant caveolin-3 (Ad.Cav-3
), or bacterial ß-galactosidase (Ad.LacZ). This mutant has been reported to cause human limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. It lacks 9 nucleotides encoding threonine, phenylalanine, and threonine in the caveolin scaffolding domain and behaves in a dominant-negative fashion.5,12 The human caveolin-3 cDNA was cloned from autopsied heart by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a primer set containing 5'-ATGGCAGAAGAGCACACAGA-3' and 5'-ATGGGGTATGGAGCAGTC-3'. To construct Ad.Cav-3, a c-myc-epitope tag was added to the cDNA at the 5' end, and KpnI sites were added to both ends by PCR. Primers used in this procedure were 5'-GGGGTACCCCATGGAGCAAAAGCTCATTTCTGAA-GAGGATTTAAATGGTGGTATGGCAGAAGAGCACACAGA-3' and 5'-GGGGTACCCCATGGGGTATGGAGCAGTC-3'. To construct Ad.Cav-3
, we deleted the 9 nucleotides (bp 186 to 194) from the wild-type cDNA with use of a site-directed mutagenesis kit (Stratagene). Primers used in this procedure were 5'-GTGGAAGGT-GAGCTACACTGTCTCCAAGTACTGGTG-3' and 5'-CACCAGT-ACTTGGAGACAGTGTAGCTCACCTTCCAC-3'. Adenoviruses were generated with a commercially available system (Adeno X Expression System, Clontech) and purified on CsCl gradients. The virus titer was determined by a plaque assay. Ad.LacZ served as a control.
Rat Neonatal Cardiomyocyte Cultures
Primary cultures of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were derived from digestion of 1- to 2-day-old neonatal Wistar rat hearts (Kyudou, Japan; n=42), as previously described by Simpson and Savion.13 Procedures were in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (National Institutes of Health [NIH]).
Infection of Recombinant Adenovirus and Agonist Treatment
Cardiomyocytes were infected at the indicated multiplicity of infection (MOI) for 12 hours. At 12 hours after infection, PE (
1-adrenergic agonist, 2 µmol/L), ET (100 nmol/L), or vehicle was added to the medium, and the cells were cultured for an additional 24 hours.
Cell Viability
Viability of cells infected with the recombinant virus (0 to 500 MOI) was examined with an assay kit (CellTiter 96AQ, Promega).
Immunoblotting
Cell lysates were separated by electrophoresis through a 10% to 12% polyacrylamide gel and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. Membranes were blocked by treatment with 2% bovine serum albumin in Tris-buffered saline, probed with the indicated antibody, and incubated with the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody. Signals were detected by chemiluminescence (ECL, Amersham) and analyzed with NIH Image software.
Immunofluorescence Microscopy
Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in Tris-buffered saline for 20 minutes. Nonspecific binding was blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.5% gelatin in Tris-buffered saline. Cells were sequentially incubated with either the anti-caveolin-3 or the anti-c-myc mAbs and then with both the Alexa Flour 594-labeled anti-mouse immunoglobulin G and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled phalloidin (Sigma).
Incorporation of [3H]Leucine and Measurements of Cell Surface Area
The incorporation of [3H]leucine into the cells was measured as described by Thaik et al.14 Cell surface area was measured with NIH Image software.
Statistical Analysis
Data are presented as mean±SEM. Comparisons of mean values were performed by 1-way ANOVA followed by the Scheffé test. P<0.05 was considered significantly different.

Expressions of Endogenous and Recombinant Caveolin-3
To confirm the adenovirus-mediated expression of caveolin-3 protein, we performed immunoblot analysis of cardiomyocytes with the anti-caveolin-3 and the anti-c-myc mAbs (Figure 1). In noninfected cardiomyocytes, a single band of
20 kDa was detected in caveolin-3 blots. A band of
25 kDa could be detected 12 hours or more after infection with Ad.Cav-3, in association with an increased expression of 20-kDa proteins (Figure 1A). To verify that Ad.Cav-3 produces 20-kDa protein as well as 25-kDa protein that were myc-tagged caveolin-3, human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells, which do not express caveolin-3, were infected with Ad.Cav-3. Infection of HEK293 cells with Ad.Cav-3 induced both 20- and 25-kDa proteins in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Thus, Ad.Cav-3 infection might produce both 20-kDa protein of the native form and 25-kDa myc-tagged caveolin-3. In Figure 1B, dose dependencies of the immunoblots of these proteins are shown at 36 hours after viral infection. Recombinant caveolin-3 protein was dose-dependently upregulated, as shown in blots of cardiomyocytes infected with Ad.Cav-3 at 10 MOI or more. On the basis of these results, cardiomyocytes that were infected with 100 MOI of the virus and at 36 hours after infection were used for the following experiments.

Effect of Ad.Cav-3 Infection on Hypertrophic Responses to Agonists
For an in vitro model of cardiac hypertrophy, we used PE (
1-adrenergic agonist) and ET.
1-Adrenergic receptors share common intracellular signaling pathways with ET.15,16 These agonists bind to specific receptors that belong to the G protein-linked superfamily of heptahelical transmembrane proteins and chiefly activate Gq. Activation of Gqa might be both necessary and sufficient to cause hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes.15,16 In noninfected cells, the cell area was significantly (P<0.01) increased by PE and ET (Figures 2A and 2B). Infection with Ad.LacZ had no effect on the agonist-induced increase in cell area (Figures 2A and 2B). In contrast, infection with Ad.Cav-3 reduced the PE- and ET-induced increase in cell area compared with Ad.LacZ (P<0.01 for both). Leucine incorporation into noninfected myocytes was significantly (P<0.01) increased by PE and ET (Figure 2C). Ad.LacZ did not alter the agonist-induced increase in leucine incorporation, whereas Ad.Cav-3 significantly (P<0.01) attenuated those responses (71.4±3.5% and 80.1±2.7% of Ad.LacZ, respectively; Figure 2C). Ad.Cav-3 and Ad.LacZ did not significantly alter those parameters in nontreated cells.
|
We next investigated whether the overexpression of caveolin-3 prevents sarcomeric reorganization (Figure 3) and reexpression of ß-myosin heavy chain (ßMHC; Figure 4) that were induced by hypertrophic agonists. Reexpression of ßMHC is a characteristic of pathologic hypertrophy and indicates qualitative alteration of cardiomyocytes.15 In noninfected cardiomyocytes, the agonists markedly induced sarcomeric reorganization, as assessed by staining with phalloidin-FITC (data not shown). Furthermore, the immunoblot analysis revealed reexpression of ßMHC protein in those cells (data not shown). Infection with Ad.LacZ of nonstimulated cells did not induce sarcomeric reorganization (Figure 3) or change the expression of ßMHC (Figure 4). In Ad.LacZ-infected cardiomyocytes, PE and ET induced sarcomeric reorganization (Figure 3) and significantly (P<0.01) increased the expression of ßMHC (Figure 4). Ad.Cav-3 significantly (P<0.01) prevented reorganization of the sarcomere and attenuated ßMHC responses to these agonists (PE, 63.7±0.7%; ET, 71.4±0.9% of Ad.LacZ).

Cellular Localization of Recombinant Wild-Type Caveolin-3
We examined the cellular localization of recombinant caveolin-3 protein. As shown in Figure 5, immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that the endogenous caveolin-3 protein was located in the sarcolemma and cytosol as a punctate pattern. Localization of the recombinant, wild-type caveolin-3 protein stained with the anti-caveolin-3 or anti-c-myc mAb was similar to that of endogenous caveolin-3 protein. Treatment with PE or ET did not change the localization of endogenous or recombinant caveolin-3 protein.
|
Effect of Ad.Cav-3 Infection on Agonist-Induced Phosphorylation of MAP Kinase Family
PE and ET significantly (P<0.01) augmented phosphorylations of ERK1/2 and JNK in cardiomyocytes infected with Ad.LacZ (Figure 6). p38 MAP kinase was not phosphorylated by those agonists. The agonist-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was significantly (P<0.01) inhibited by infection with Ad.Cav-3; however, that of JNK was not altered.
|
Effect of Dominant-Negative Caveolin-3 on Hypertrophic Responses to ET
Finally, we investigated the effect of dominant-negative caveolin-3 on hypertrophic responses to ET. The viability of cells infected with Ad.Cav-3
was comparable to those infected with Ad.Cav-3 or Ad.LacZ (data not shown). In contrast to the effect of the overexpression of wild-type caveolin-3, Ad.Cav-3
significantly augmented the ET-induced [3H]leucine incorporation into cardiomyocytes (Figure 7A). This augmentation was associated with increased phosphorylation of ERKs (Figure 7B).

1-adrenergic agonist-induced hypertrophied cardiomyocytes.11 However, it had not yet been clarified whether the upregulation of caveolin-3 in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was simply a consequence of hypertrophy, promoted hypertrophy, or inhibited hypertrophy. In this study, we overexpressed caveolin-3 in cardiomyocytes and investigated the effect of that overexpression on hypertrophic responses to Gq-dependent agonists. We demonstrated that the overexpression of caveolin-3 inhibited hypertrophic responses. In addition, dominant-negative caveolin-3 augmented the hypertrophic responses. Thus, our results might suggest that endogenous caveolin-3 act as an inhibitor of myocyte hypertrophy.
Methodologic Considerations
To modulate the level of intracellular caveolin-3 protein expression and to explore the function of caveolin-3, we constructed an adenovirus harboring human caveolin-3 cDNA and infected myocytes with the virus. As shown in the Results, the virus produced caveolin-3 protein in time- and dose-dependent manners. Although construction of the virus vector encoding caveolin-1 has been reported, to our knowledge, the present study is the first report of construction of the adenovirus harboring caveolin-3 cDNA. Viral infection not only produced the band of 25 kDa (recombinant caveolin-3 with myc-epitope tag) but also increased the band of 20 kDa. The increased band of 20 kDa would be a splicing variant that was produced by use of the start codon of a native caveolin-3 sequence. Although viral infection increased the protein level of caveolin-3, the cellular localization of the recombinant, wild-type caveolin-3 protein was similar to that of endogenous caveolin-3. Thus, our results indicate the overexpression of recombinant, wild-type caveolin-3 as a useful tool for investigation of the function of caveolin-3.
Inhibition of Myocyte Hypertrophy by Caveolin-3
In this study, we examined cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by several methods. PE and ET increased leucine incorporation and cell area and changed the immunostaining pattern of phalloidin from a dense staining without agonists to fiberlike staining, indicating that myocyte hypertrophy did occur at the protein and structural levels. Moreover, ßMHC expression was markedly augmented by PE and ET, suggesting the transformation of myosin. These results indicate that PE and ET induced pathologic hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes. Infection with Ad.Cav-3 prevented all of these changes induced by PE and ET. Thus, caveolin-3 might act as an inhibitor of myocyte hypertrophy. The effects of overexpression of wild-type caveolin-3 were not nonspecific, because infection with Ad.LacZ did not affect myocyte hypertrophy. Overexpression of caveolin-3 in Ad.Cav-3-infected cells was associated with the prevention of both agonist-induced hypertrophy and sarcomeric disorganization seen in Ad.LacZ-infected and control cells with the same stimulus. It has been reported that caveolin-3-null mice have degeneration of muscle fibers in skeletal muscle but not in cardiac muscle.17,18 These results might appear to contradict ours; however, that study was done without stress. Caveolin-3 in the heart might not be an essential protein under normal conditions but might play a pivotal role under pathologic conditions.
Hypertrophic responses to Gq-dependent agonists are mediated by several intracellular signaling cascades. Because the MAP kinase family is 1 of the critical components of the Gq-dependent signaling pathway,19 we examined the involvement of the MAP kinase family in the attenuation of hypertrophy by Ad.Cav-3. As shown in Figure 6, PE and ET phosphorylated ERK and JNK, as reported previously, but not p38. It is not clear in our study why p38 was not phosphorylated by Gq-dependent agonists. Only ERK phosphorylation was prevented by the overexpression of wild-type caveolin-3. Previously, an interaction between caveolins and ERKs has been reported by several investigators.2023 ERKs are concentrated in caveolae at least partially, and ERK2 activity is regulated by the scaffolding domain of caveolins in vitro.20 Park and coworkers21 have reported that all caveolin isotypes are upregulated in senescent rat cells and organs, including the heart, in association with a reduction in epidermal growth factor-induced phosphorylation of ERKs. Their report suggests that upregulation of caveolin attenuates epidermal growth factor signaling including ERKs in vivo. Moreover, Furuchi and Anderson22 have shown that cholesterol depletion of cells induces translocation of MAP kinase signaling components from the caveolae fraction to other fractions and causes hyperactivation of ERKs. Thus, there is a close association between caveolae and ERKs. Taken together, caveolin-3 might inhibit the induction of hypertrophy through suppression of ERK activity.
One might argue that the excess amount of exogenous caveolin-3 itself might inhibit normal myocyte functions, because mice overexpressing caveolin-3 reveal the "Duchenne-like" muscular dystrophy phenotype.24 In the present study, however, only PE- and ET-induced phosphorylations of ERKs were inhibited by Ad.Cav-3, but that of JNK was not. This suggests that exogenous caveolin-3 affects specific molecules but does not suppress normal cellular functions. To further examine both the role of caveolin-3 and the specificity of our experiments, we evaluated the effects of the expression of mutant caveolin-3 on hypertrophic responses. Expression of this mutant in cardiomyocytes augmented the hypertrophic responses to ET through activation of ERKs. The mechanisms by which mutant caveolin-3 augments hypertrophic responses are not known from our study. It has been shown that this mutant caveolin-3 causes intracellular retention and degradation of wild-type, endogenous caveolin-3.12 Accordingly, we raise the possibility that suppression of endogenous ERK activities by native caveolin-3 might be inhibited by mutant caveolin-3 and thus, that this mutant led to hyperactivation of ERKs and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
We speculated as to why the overexpression of caveolin-3 did not alter JNK activity. Several caveolin-related proteins have been shown to bind to caveolins through caveolin-binding domains (øXøXXXXø or øXXXXøXXø, where ø is the aromatic amino acid tryptophan, tyrosine, or phenylalanine).3 We examined the amino acid sequences for rat, human, and mouse JNKs (JNK 1 to 3) and found that they did not have caveolin-binding domains. This suggests that JNK is not regulated by caveolin.
Because intracellular Ca2+ and calcineurin might be a final common pathway of signaling in cardiac hypertrophy25 and because several molecules involved in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ are compartmentalized in caveolae, another mechanism for the inhibition of hypertrophy by caveolin-3 might be suppression of an intracellular Ca2+-dependent pathway.26 However, this issue is beyond the scope of our study.
Perspective
The current study provides insight into the role of caveolin-3 in the development of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Our results suggest that caveolin-3 behaves as an endogenous, negative regulator of hypertrophic response, probably via suppression of ERK1/2 activity. Given this crucial role in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, caveolin-3 might represent an important target for treatment of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
