Caveolae are omega-shaped organelles of the cell surface. The protein caveolin-3, a structural component of cardiac caveolae, is associated with cellular signaling. To investigate the effect of adenovirus-mediated overexpression of caveolin-3 on hypertrophic responses in cardiomyocytes, we constructed an adenovirus that encoded human wild-type caveolin-3 (Ad. Cav-3), mutant caveolin-3 (Ad. Cav-3Delta), or bacterial beta-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 [H-3] leucine incorporation, along with the induction of sarcomeric reorganization and the reexpression of beta-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 beta-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-3Delta 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.
