Recent data have demonstrated that caveolin, a major structural protein of caveolae, inhibits the function of molecules involved in cAMP signaling such as adenylyl cyclase. We examined the effect of cAMP signal on the expressions of caveolin subtypes using rat cardiac myoblasts (H9C2 cells) and smooth muscle cells (RASMC), which express caveolin subtypes. Treatment of RASMC and H9C2 cells with forskolin, an adenylyl cyclase stimulator, decreased caveolin-1 mRNA levels in a dose-dependent manner. Time course studies showed a time-dependent decrease of caveolin-1 mRNA levels in H9C2 cells (after 6 hours) while caveolin-1 mRNA levels in RASMC showed a biphasic response, i.e., an initial increase (within 3 hours) and a later decrease (after 3 hours). Similar biphasic changes were observed when RASMC was treated with IBMX, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. The levels of caveolin-1 and -3 proteins were also decreased by forskolin treatment, but only after 60-72 hours in RASMC and 24-36 hours in H9C2 cells. In contrast, the expression of caveolin-2 remained similar in both cells and decreased to a small degree after prolonged treatment. Therefore, the expression of caveolin is downregulated by cAMP signal in a caveolin subtype-dependent manner.
