Opposite effect of cAMP signaling in endothelial barriers of different origin.
cAMP-mediated signaling mechanisms may destabilize or stabilize the endothelial barrier, depending on the origin of endothelial cells. Here, microvascular coronary [coronary endothelial cells (CEC)] and macrovascular aortic endothelial cell (AEC) monolayers with opposite responses to cAMP were analyzed. Macromolecule permeability, isometric force, activation state of contractile machinery [indi...
متن کاملRho-kinase-mediated Ca2+-independent contraction in rat embryo fibroblasts.
Thus far, determining the relative contribution of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and Ca2+-independent Rho-kinase pathways to myosin II activation and contraction has been difficult. In this study, we characterize the role of Rho-kinase in a rat embryo fibroblast cell line (REF-52), which contains no detectable MLCK. No endogenous MLCK could be detected in REF-52 cel...
متن کاملMyosin light chain kinase-regulated endothelial cell contraction: the relationship between isometric tension, actin polymerization, and myosin phosphorylation
The phosphorylation of regulatory myosin light chains by the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent enzyme myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) has been shown to be essential and sufficient for initiation of endothelial cell retraction in saponin permeabilized monolayers (Wysolmerski, R. B. and D. Lagunoff. 1990. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 87:16-20). We now report the effects of thrombin stimulation on human u...
متن کاملcAMP/PKA antagonizes thrombin-induced inactivation of endothelial myosin light chain phosphatase: role of CPI-17.
AIMS Activation of cAMP signalling abrogates thrombin-induced hyperpermeability. One of the mechanisms underlying this protective effect is the inactivation of endothelial contractile machinery, one of the major determinants of endothelial barrier function, mainly via the activation of myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP). To date, the mechanisms of cAMP-mediated MLCP activation are only parti...
متن کاملSignaling pathways involved in adenosine triphosphate-induced endothelial cell barrier enhancement.
Endothelial barrier dysfunction caused by inflammatory agonists is a frequent underlying cause of vascular leak and edema. Novel strategies to preserve barrier integrity could have profound clinical impact. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) released from endothelial cells by shear stress and injury has been shown to protect the endothelial barrier in some settings. We have demonstrated that ATP and ...
