Abstract
⺠Caveolin-1 gene transfer interferes with the angiotensin II-induced EGF receptor transactivation cascade including ADAM17 activation. ⺠Caveolin-1 gene transfer inhibited angiotensin II-induced hypertrophy and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells. ⺠ADAM17 colocalizes with Cav1 in the lipid raft fractions. ⺠A disruption of the lipid raft structure leads to HB-EGF shedding and EGF receptor transactivation.
