Caveolin-1 in oncogenic transformation, cancer, and metastasis

Williams, Terence M., Lisanti, Michael P.·2005·American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology

Abstract

Caveolae are 50- to 100-nm omega-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane that function as regulators of signal transduction. Caveolins are a class of oligomeric structural proteins that are both necessary and sufficient for caveolae formation. Interestingly, caveolin-1 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of oncogenic cell transformation, tumorigenesis, and metastasis. Here, we review the available experimental evidence (gleaned from cultured cells, animal models, and human tumor samples) that caveolin-1 (Cav-1) functions as a “tumor and/or metastasis modifier gene.” Genetic evidence from the study of Cav-1(−/−) null mice and human breast cancer mutations [CAV-1 (P132L)] supports the idea that caveolin-1 normally functions as a negative regulator of cell transformation and mammary tumorigenesis. In contrast, caveolin-1 may function as a tumor promoter in prostate cancers. We discuss possible molecular mechanisms to explain these intriguing, seemingly opposing, findings. More specifically, caveolin-1 phosphorylation (at Tyr14 and Ser80) and mutations (P132L) may override or inactivate the growth inhibitory activity of the caveolin-scaffolding domain (residues 82–101).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
