Objective: Caveolins, the structural proteins of caveolae, modulate numerous signaling pathways including Nitric Oxide (NO) production. Among the caveolin family, caveolin-1 and -3 are mainly expressed in endothelial and muscle cells, respectively. In this study, we investigate whether (i) changes in caveolin abundance and/or distribution occur during cardiac aging and failure in rat, and (ii) the process could influence NO synthase (NOS) activity. Methods: Using immunohistolabelling and Western blot approaches, expression and distribution of caveolins were analysed in adult (Ad), senescent (S-Sh) and myocardial in farction-induced failing (S-MI) hearts. NOS3/caveolin-1 interactions were evaluated by immunoprecipitation assays. Results: At the microscope level, caveolin-1 distribution in the endothelial cells was unchanged between the groups. Conversely the typical distribution of caveolin-3 in myocyte sarcolemma was dramatically altered in S-MI rats, resulting in a heterogeneous pattern throughout the septum. Total abundance of caveolin-1 and -3 remained stable whatever the group. In the fractions free of caveolae (Triton X-100 soluble), the levels of caveolin-la and -3 increased with aging (+20%, and +104%, P
