AS-1, the TIR/BB loop mimetic, plays a protective role in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. The muscle specific caveolin3 (Cav-3) and the caveolae have been found to be critical for cardioprotection. This study aimed to evaluate our hypothesis that caveolae and Cav-3 are essential for AS-1-induced cardioprotection against myocardial I/R injury. To address these issues, we analyzed the involvement of Cav-3 in AS-1 mediated cardioprotection both in vivo and in vitro. We demonstrate that AS-1 administration significantly decreased infarct size, improved cardiac function after myocardial I/R and modulated membrane caveolae and Cav-3 expression in the myocardium. For in vitro studies, AS-1 treatment prevented Cav-3 re-distribution induced by H/R injury. In contrast, disruption of caveolae by MCD treatment or Cav-3 knockdown abolished the protection against H/R-induced myocytes injury by AS-1. Our findings reveal that AS-1 attenuates myocardial I/R injury through caveolae and Cav-3 dependent mechanism.

Caveolae constitute membrane microdomains where receptors and ion channels functionally interact. Caveolin-3 (cav-3) is the key structural component of muscular caveolae. Mutations in lead to caveolinopathies, which result in both muscular dystrophies and cardiac diseases.

Breast cancer has become the most significant malignant tumor threatening women's lives. Caveolae are concave pits formed by invagination of the plasma membrane that participate in many biological functions of the cell membrane, such as endocytosis, cell membrane assembly, and signal transduction. In recent years, Caveolae family-related proteins have been found to be closely related to the occurrence and development of breast cancer.

Rationale: Flask-shaped invaginations of the cardiomyocyte sarcolemma called caveolae require the structural protein caveolin-3 (Cav-3) and host a variety of ion channels, transporters, and signaling molecules. Reduced Cav-3 expression has been reported in models of heart failure, and variants in CAV3 have been associated with the inherited long-QT arrhythmia syndrome. Yet, it remains unclear whether alterations in Cav-3 levels alone are sufficient to drive aberrant repolarization and increased arrhythmia risk.

Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), a major structural component of caveolae, is involved in various biological functions, such as endocytosis, cholesterol trafficking, transcytosis, signal transduction, and immunity. To date, three caveolin members have been identified in mammals: Cav-1, Cav-2, and Cav-3. In this study, we identified the Cav-1 sequence from Amphiprion clarkii (AcCav-1).

Heart rate is accelerated to match physiological demands through the action of noradrenaline on the cardiac pacemaker. Noradrenaline is released from sympathetic terminals and activates β1-and β2-adrenergic receptors (ΑRs) located at the plasma membrane of pacemaker cells. L-type calcium channels are one of the main downstream targets potentiated by the activation of β-ARs.
