چکیده
OBJECTIVE Caveolins, the structural proteins of caveolae, modulate numerous signaling pathways including Nitric Oxide (NO) production. Among the caveolin family, caveolin-1 and -3 are mainly expressed in endothelial and muscle cells, respectively. In this study, we investigate whether (i) changes in caveolin abundance and/or distribution occur during cardiac aging and failure in rat, and (ii) the process could influence NO synthase (NOS) activity. METHODS Using immunohistolabelling and Western blot approaches, expression and distribution of caveolins were analysed in adult (Ad), senescent (S-Sh) and myocardial infarction-induced failing (S-MI) hearts. NOS3/caveolin-1 interactions were evaluated by immunoprecipitation assays. RESULTS At the microscope level, caveolin-1 distribution in the endothelial cells was unchanged between the groups. Conversely the typical distribution of caveolin-3 in myocyte sarcolemma was dramatically altered in S-MI rats, resulting in a heterogeneous pattern throughout the septum. Total abundance of caveolin-1 and -3 remained stable whatever the group. In the fractions free of caveolae (Triton X-100 soluble), the levels of caveolin-1 alpha and -3 increased with aging (+20%, and +104%, P<0.05 versus Ad, respectively) and were further enhanced in S-MI (+25%, +30%, P<0.05, P<0.001 versus S-Sh respectively). In these fractions, NOS3/caveolin-1 alpha complexes increased as well. In addition, NOS activity was negatively correlated to caveolin-1 level in the cytosolic fractions. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that dissociation of caveolin from caveolae is associated with aging and heart failure, the process being related to the decreased NOS activity.

Introduction: Restoration of blood flow to the ischemic heart muscle causes infarction and myocyte death. Quercetin can be effective in treating heart disease due to its antioxidant effect, but its use is limited due to its low solubility in water. Quercetin restriction can be removed by embedding it in carrier nanoparticles. The present study was designed to determine the effect of quercetin e...
