Dephosphorylation of Y685-VE-Cadherin Involved in Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Barrier Injury Induced by Angiotensin II

Figure 6

Expression of total pY685-VE-cadherin protein and VE-cadherin in cultured PMVECs. (a) The phosphorylation of Y685 of VE-cadherin induced by AngII in PMVECs was in a time-dependent manner. About 30 minutes after AngII stimulation, the dephosphorylation of Y685-VE-cadherin reached the peak level, whereas, 12 h after AngII stimulation, the VE-cadherin was decreased in PMVECs. (b) AngII or PP2 resulted in reduction of pY685-VE-cadherin in PMVECs, while the pY685-VE-cadherin was further decreased in the AngII+PP2 group. versus control group; versus AngII group.
