Abstract
Aims: We demonstrated c-Src activation as a novel non-genomic signalling pathway for aldosterone in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Here, we investigated molecular mechanisms and biological responses of this phenomenon, focusing on the role of lipid rafts/caveolae and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) in c-Src-regulated proinflammatory responses by aldosterone. Methods and results: Studies were performed in cultured VSMCs from Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and caveolin-1 knockout (Cav 1−/−) and wild-type mice. Aldosterone stimulation increased c-Src phosphorylation and trafficking to lipid rafts/caveolae. Cholesterol depletion with methyl-β-cyclodextrin abrogated aldosterone-induced phosphorylation of c-Src and its target, Pyk2. Aldosterone effects were recovered by cholesterol reload. Aldosterone-induced c-Src and cortactin phosphorylation was reduced in caveolin-1-silenced and Cav 1−/− VSMCs. PDGFR is phosphorylated by aldosterone within cholesterol-rich fractions of VSMCs. AG1296, a PDGFR inhibitor, prevented c-Src phosphorylation and translocation to cholesterol-rich fractions. Aldosterone induced an increase in adhesion molecule protein content and promoted monocyte adhesion to VSMCs, responses that were inhibited an by cholesterol depletion, caveolin-1 deficiency, AG1296 and PP2, a c-Src inhibitor. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) content in flotillin-2-rich fractions and co-immunoprecipitation with c-Src and PDGFR increased upon aldosterone stimulation, indicating MR-lipid raft/signalling association. Conclusion: We demonstrate that aldosterone-mediated c-Src trafficking/activation and proinflammatory signalling involve lipid rafts/caveolae via PDGFR.
