Up-regulation of caveolin expression by cytotoxic agents in drug-sensitive cancer cells

Abstract: | Caveolin 1 expression is down-regulated in various cancer cell lines. Interestingly, in several drug-resistant cancer cells, a strong induction of caveolin 1 expression has been reported, suggesting a role for caveolin 1 in the acquisition and/or the maintenance of the multidrug-resistance phenotype. Here, we show, in drug-sensitive lung cancer cells (A549, Calu-6 or NCI-H69), that exposure to cytotoxic drugs (taxol, doxorubicin or etoposide) is sufficient to strongly up-regulate caveolin 1 and 2 protein levels. This up-regulation is sustained even 1 week after drug removal. Our results suggest that caveolin up-regulation is an early cellular response to a cytotoxic stress taking place before drug resistance. |
