摘要

Background

Caveolin-1 (CAV1), a scaffolding protein critical for caveolae formation, regulates G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling via caveolae-mediated endocytosis. The calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR), a GPCR and core subunit of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, is a therapeutic target for migraine. However, the role of CAV1 in CLR regulation and migraine remains unclear.

Methods

A migraine model was established in female mice via dural inflammatory soup (IS) application. Migraine-like behaviors were assessed using Von Frey filament, spontaneous pain behavior counts, light/dark box, and acetone test. CAV1 was overexpressed by lentivirus and downregulated by small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) was used to inhibit caveolae-mediated endocytosis. The molecular mechanism of CAV1 on CLR and neuroinflammation was investigated using biochemistry, multiplex immunohistochemistry staining, internalization assay, and co-immunoprecipitation.

Results

Repeated IS stimulation elevated CLR expression and internalization in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC), concurrently activating ERK/CREB signaling, promoting microglial activation, and increasing inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β). CAV1 directly interacted with CLR, promoting its degradation. CAV1 knockdown in the TNC exacerbated migraine pathology, characterized by CLR accumulation, enhanced ERK/CREB phosphorylation, and amplified neuroinflammation. Conversely, CAV1 overexpression or MβCD-mediated caveolae disruption normalized CLR levels, reduced signaling hyperactivity, and reversed nociceptive behaviors.

Conclusion

CAV1 negatively regulates CLR stability, suppressing ERK/CREB signaling and microglial inflammation in a preclinical female migraine model. These findings suggest that CAV1 contributes to migraine-related hyperalgesia and may represent a novel therapeutic target for migraine treatment.
