Abstract
AIMS: A fundamental phenomenon in inflammation is the loss of endothelial barrier function, in which the opening of endothelial cell junctions plays a central role. However, the molecular mechanisms that ultimately open the cell junctions are largely unknown.¦METHODS AND RESULTS: Impedance spectroscopy, biochemistry, and morphology were used to investigate the role of caveolin-1 in the regulation of thrombin-induced opening of cell junctions in cultured human and mouse endothelial cells. Here, we demonstrate that the vascular endothelial (VE) cadherin/catenin complex targets caveolin-1 to endothelial cell junctions. Association of caveolin-1 with VE-cadherin/catenin complexes is essential for the barrier function decrease in response to the pro-inflammatory mediator thrombin, which causes a reorganization of the complex in a rope ladder-like pattern accompanied by a loss of junction-associated actin filaments. Mechanistically, we show that in response to thrombin stimulation the protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) causes phosphorylation of caveolin-1, which increasingly associates with β- and γ-catenin. Consequently, the association of β- and γ-catenin with VE-cadherin is weakened, thus allowing junction reorganization and a decrease in barrier function. Thrombin-induced opening of cell junctions is lost in caveolin-1-knockout endothelial cells and after expression of a Y/F-caveolin-1 mutant but is completely reconstituted after expression of wild-type caveolin-1.¦CONCLUSION: Our results highlight the pivotal role of caveolin-1 in VE-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion via catenins and, in turn, in barrier function regulation.
