Medicine, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15261; Caveolae are vesicular invaginations of the plasma membrane.
Caveolin-1 is the principal structural component of caveolae in vivo.
Several lines of evidence are consistent with the idea that caveolin-1
functions as a "transformation suppressor" protein. In fact,
caveolin-1 mRNA and protein expression are lost or reduced during cell
transformation by activated oncogenes. Interestingly, the human
caveolin-1 gene is localized to a suspected tumor suppressor locus
(7q31.1). We have previously demonstrated that overexpression of
caveolin-1 arrests mouse embryonic fibroblasts in the
G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle through
activation of a p53/p21-dependent pathway, indicating a role of
caveolin-1 in mediating growth arrest. However, it remains unknown
whether overexpression of caveolin-1 promotes cellular senescence in
vivo. Here, we demonstrate that mouse embryonic fibroblasts
transgenically overexpressing caveolin-1 show: 1) a reduced
proliferative lifespan; 2) senescence-like cell morphology; and 3) a
senescence-associated increase in

-galactosidase activity. These
results indicate for the first time that the expression of caveolin-1
in vivo is sufficient to promote and maintain the senescent phenotype.
Subcytotoxic oxidative stress is known to induce premature senescence
in diploid fibroblasts. Interestingly, we show that subcytotoxic level
of hydrogen peroxide induces premature senescence in NIH 3T3 cells and
increases endogenous caveolin-1 expression. Importantly, quercetin and
vitamin E, two antioxidant agents, successfully prevent the premature
senescent phenotype and the up-regulation of caveolin-1 induced by
hydrogen peroxide. Also, we demonstrate that hydrogen peroxide alone,
but not in combination with quercetin, stimulates the caveolin-1
promoter activity. Interestingly, premature senescence induced by
hydrogen peroxide is greatly reduced in NIH 3T3 cells harboring
antisense caveolin-1. Importantly, induction of premature senescence is recovered when caveolin-1 levels are restored. Taken together, these
results clearly indicate a central role for caveolin-1 in promoting
cellular senescence and they suggest the hypothesis that premature
senescence may represent a tumor suppressor function mediated by
caveolin-1 in vivo.
