title: Aberrantly expressed recoverin is functionally associated with G-protein-coupled receptor kinases in cancer cell lines.
abstract: Cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) is an ocular manifestation of a paraneoplastic syndrome whereby immunological reactions toward recoverin (Rec), a retina-specific Ca(2+) binding protein, and its aberrant expression in tumor cells lead to the retinal degeneration. To elucidate functional roles of the aberrantly expression in cancer cells, we performed immunoprecipitation using anti-human Rec mAb. We observed co-precipitation of G-protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and caveolin-1 with Rec from cell lysates of 293 or SSTW cells. Immunocytochemistry revealed that immunoreactivities toward Rec within the cancer cells were almost identical to those toward GRKs and caveolin-1. The present data strongly suggest that aberrantly expressed Rec should be involved in the GRK-dependent cellular regulation in cancer cells.
