Abstract
Multiple studies have demonstrated overexpression of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in prostate cancer (PCa) cells and its association with disease progression. In PCa cells, Cav-1 serves multiple diverse functions that appear to be unique in tumor biology. Within those, elevated Cav-1 may lead to the formation of aberrant signaling scaffolds and may actively participate as a signaling molecule. In addition, overexpression of Cav-1 can induce mRNA levels for specific growth factors (GFs), including vascular endothelial GF, transforming GF-β1, and fibroblast GF2, through Akt activities. Importantly, these specific GFs can, in turn, stimulate expression of Cav-1. It is notable that Cav-1 is secreted by PCa cells and that secreted Cav-1 can be taken up by adjacent PCa cells and tumor-associated endothelial cells, through which the tumor-promoting activities of Cav-1 “spread” throughout the tumor microenvironment. Because secreted Cav-1 can enter the blood, the tumor-promoting effects of Cav-1 also manifest at distant sites of metastasis. The pervasive effects of Cav-1 lead to the establishment of a positive-feedback loop that promotes PCa progression through unprecedented effects on the local and metastatic tumor microenvironments. This chapter is a brief discussion of the complex, context-dependent activities of Cav-1, and delineation of its oncogenic functions within the context of PCa.
