IGF-I induces caveolin 1 tyrosine phosphorylation and translocation in the lipid rafts.
Caveolin 1, a component of caveolae, regulates signalling pathways compartmentalization interacting with tyrosine kinase receptors and their substrates. The role of caveolin 1 in the Insulin Receptor (IR) signalling has been well investigated. On the contrary, the functional link between caveolin 1 and IGF-I Receptor (IGF-IR) remains largely unknown. Here we show that (1) IGF-IR colocalizes with caveolin 1 in the lipid rafts enriched fractions on plasmamembrane in R-IGF-IR(WT) cells, (2) IGF-I induces caveolin 1 phosphorylation at the level of tyrosine 14, (3) this effect is rapid and results in the translocation of caveolin 1 and in the formation of membrane patches on cell surface. These actions are IGF-I specific since we did not detect caveolin 1 redistribution in insulin stimulated R(-) cells overexpressing IRs.
