Abstract
Taxol treatment of HeLa cells resulted in a transient recruitment of Caveolin-1 to the cell surface followed by internalization. Interestingly, 20 min after 10-deacetylbaccatinIII (10-DAB) treatment, the caveolae displayed faster ‘kiss and run’ dynamics while BaccatinIII (BacIII) did not induce any change. Sustained phosphorylation of Caveolin-1 is observed upon treatment and between Taxol and 10-DAB, the former shows phosphorylated Raf-1, ERK1/2 and hyperphosphorylated Bcl-2 while the later showed much less magnitude of the same. BacIII treatment did not induce phosphorylation of Raf-1 or Bcl-2. It is possible that Taxol might act on multiple targets and the side chain may be crucial.
