Significant cardiovascular side effects have limited the use of taxol as an anticancer drug. A link between decreased plasma membrane dynamics and taxol has been implied because taxol can inhibit intracellular vesicle movements. Reduced membrane recycling caused by taxol could inhibit agonist-evoked Ca2+ signaling within endothelial cells, resulting in endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Bradykinin and ATP are two agonists that evoke Ca2+ transients in endothelial cells. Since the bradykinin receptor-agonist complex is internalized and recycled whereas the ATP agonist-receptor complex is not, we expected that a taxol inhibition of recycling would decrease bradykinin but not ATP receptor activity. We found that taxol depresses (i) the frequency (to 41% of control) and velocity (to 55% of control) of microtubule-dependent vesicle transport and (ii) bradykinin-evoked cytosolic Ca2+ transients (to 76% of control) in bovine aortic endothelial cells. In studying bradykinin receptor desensitization, which reflects receptor recycling, we demonstrate that taxol inhibits bradykinin evoked Ca2+ transients by 50%. Taxol did not significantly alter ATP-evoked Ca2+ transients in either single-exposure or desensitization experiments. We suggest that taxol's reduction of bradykinin-evoked Ca2+ transients is due to altered microtubule dependent membrane recycling. This report describes taxol's ability to alter plasma membrane composition through effects on vesicle transport and membrane trafficking pathways. This finding provides a possible mechanism by which taxol can substantially alter cardiovascular function.
