Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a disease of the blood vessel characterized by the development of an arterial occlusion containing lipid and cellular deposits. Caveolae are 50–100 nm cell surface plasma membrane invaginations that are believed to play an important role in the regulation of cellular signaling and transport of molecules among others. These organelles are enriched in sphingolipids and cholesterol and are characterized by the presence of the protein caveolin-1. Caveolin-1 and caveolae are present in most of the cells involved in the development of atherosclerosis. The current literature suggests a rather complex role for caveolin-1 in this disease, with evidence of either pro- or anti-atherogenic functions depending on the cell type examined. In the present chapter, the various roles of caveolae and caveolin-1 in the development of atherosclerosis are examined.
