The purpose of this study was to confirm protein-protein interaction between cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and caveolins. The interaction of cyclooxygenase-1 and caveolins in the cultured human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) cells was investigated using immuno-precipitation and Western blot analysis. In HEK 293 cells, high levels of caveolin-2 and low level of caveolin-1 at mRNA and protein level were observed without any detectable expression of caveolin-3. Caveolae rich membranous fractions from the HEK 293 cells contained both COX-1 and caveolin-1 or caveolin-2 in same fractions. The experiments of immuno-precipitation showed complex formation between the COX-1 and caveolin-1 or caveolin-2 in the HEK 293 cells. Confocal microscopic results also support co-localization of COX-1 and caveolin-1 or caveolin-2 at the plasma membrane. Co-localization of caveolins with cylooxygenase-1 in caveolae suggested that caveolin would play an important role in regulating the function of COX-1.
