Hahn, Michelle Parsons, Jenny Drew, Mathew A. Vadas, and Jennifer R. Gamble From the Vascular Biology Laboratory, Division of Human Immunology, Hanson Institute, Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science, Adelaide; and the University of Adelaide, Adelaide; Australia. Endothelial cell leakiness is regulated by mediators such as thrombin, which promotes endothelial permeability, and anti-inflammatory agents, such as angiopoietin-1. Here we define a new pathway involved in thrombin-induced permeability that involves the atypical protein kinase C isoform, PKC. Chemical inhibitor studies implicated the involvement of an atypical PKC isoform in thrombin-induced permeability changes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Thrombin stimulation resulted in PKC, but not the other atypical PKC isoform, PKC, translocating to the membrane, an event known to be critical to enzyme activation. The involvement of PKC was confirmed by overexpression of constitutively active PKC, resulting in enhanced basal permeability. Dominant-negative PKC prevented the thrombin-mediated effects on endothelial cell permeability and inhibited thrombin-induced activation of PKC. Rho activation does not appear to play a role, either upstream or downstream of PKC, as C3 transferase does not block thrombin-induced PKC activation and dominant-negative PKC does not block thrombin-induced Rho activation. Finally, we show that angiopoietin-1 inhibits thrombin-induced PKC activation, Rho activation, and Ca++ flux, thus demonstrating that the powerful antipermeability action of angiopoietin-1 is mediated by its action on a number of signaling pathways induced by thrombin and implicated in permeability changes.
