X Abstract

Caveolin-1 (cav-1), the principle structural protein of plasmalemmal caveolae, regulates inflammatory signaling processes originating at the membrane. We show that cav-1 bound to TLR4 and inhibited LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokine (TNF-alpha and IL-6) production in murine macrophages. Mutation analysis revealed a cav-1 binding motif in TLR4, essential for this interaction and for attenuation of proinflammatory signaling. Cav-1 was required for the anti-inflammatory effects of carbon monoxide (CO), a product of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) activity. CO augmented the cav-1/TLR4 interaction. Upon LPS stimulation, HO-1 trafficked to the caveolae by a p38 MAPK-dependent mechanism, where it down-regulated proinflammatory signaling. These results reveal an anti-inflammatory network involving cav-1 and HO-1. 10.4049/jimmunol.0712437

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
