Caveolin-1 (cav-1), the principal structural and signalling protein of caveolae, is implicated in various signalling events, including apoptotic cell death in type 2 diabetes. However, the precise role of beta cells in apoptosis has not been clearly defined. In this study, we investigated the involvement of cav-1 in cytokine-induced beta cell apoptosis and its underlying mechanisms in the rat beta cell line, INS-1 and isolated islets. Treatment of cytokine mixture (CM, TNFα + IL-1β) significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression of cav-1, and resulting in increased formation of caveolae. We found that IL-1 receptor 1 and TNF receptor localized to plasma membrane lipid rafts in the control cells and CM treatment recruited these receptors to the caveolae domain. After cav-1 siRNA transfection, CM-dependent NF-κB activation was reduced and consequently downregulated the mRNA expression of iNOS and IL-1β. Finally, decreased cell viability by CM treatment was ameliorated in both INS-1 cells and isolated islets treated with cav-1 siRNA. These results suggest that increased cav-1 expression and recruitment of cytokine receptors into caveolae contribute to CM-induced beta cell apoptosis.

Upregulation of caveolin-1 and its colocalization with cytokine receptors contributes to beta cell apoptosis
