ABSTRACT
Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), as an important structural protein of caveolae, has been proven to be correlated with several signal transduction pathways. Recent studies have shown that Cav-1 may play a critical role in response to DNA damage in irradiated pancreatic cancer cells. However, it is not known whether down-regulation of Cav-1 is required to enhance the damage of other kinds of human cells exposed to X-radiation. In this study, the role of Cav-1 in Chang liver cell line (CHL) exposed to X-radiation was investigated. Cav-1 knockdown cell line (CHL-CAV7) was stably established by the siRNA plasmids transfection, and Cav-1 expression was suppressed by 60%, compared with that of control group (CHL-C) which was transfected with non-targeting plasmids. Cellular survival ability and the expressions of proteins related to DNA damage and repair were examined by colony formation assay and Western blot, respectively. Down-regulation of Cav-1 expression induced a significant decrease of the survival rate in CHL-CAV7 cells exposed to 8 and 10 Gy X-radiation. Compared with CHL-C cells, CHL-CAV7 cells showed increased γH2AX expression, as well as decreased p-ATM, DNA-dependent protein kinase, catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) and p53 protein expressions when treated with X-radiation. Meanwhile, the colocalization of Mdm2 and Cav-1 was decreased in CHL-CAV7 cells compared with that in CHL-C cells. These results suggest that the down-regulation of Cav-1 may aggravate DNA damage of CHL cells through reducing the interaction of Cav-1 and Mdm2, which results in the promotion of p53 degradation.
