Angiopoietin-like protein 3 modulates barrier properties of human glomerular endothelial cells through a possible signaling pathway involving phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B and integrin αVβ3

Angiopoietin-like protein 3 modulates barrier properties of human glomerular endothelial cells... AbstractPodocytes can influence glomerular endothelial cell (GEnC) barrier properties and take part in the development of proteinuria by some molecules. Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (Angptl3), secreted by podocytes, is a member of the angiopoietin-like protein family that has important biological functions in endothelial cells. In our previous studies, we showed that mRNA expression of Angptl3 increased significantly in kidneys of children with minimal change nephrotic syndrome. And the mRNA level of Angptl3 was increased in the glomerulus of adriamycin rats with the development of proteinuria. It was also found that Angptl3 was expressed in the cytoplasm of cultured podocytes. Thus, Angptl3 might influence the biological functions of GEnCs in a paracrine manner. In this study, we found that Angptl3 could increase the permeability of GEnCs and increase the level of protein kinase B phosphorylation in cultured GEnCs in vitro. LY294002, a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor, could prevent the increase of permeability of GEnCs induced by Angptl3. Our results also indicated that the integrin αVβ3 antibody (LM609) could block the Angptl3-induced protein kinase B phosphorylation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica Oxford University Press

Abstract

AbstractPodocytes can influence glomerular endothelial cell (GEnC) barrier properties and take part in the development of proteinuria by some molecules. Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (Angptl3), secreted by podocytes, is a member of the angiopoietin-like protein family that has important biological functions in endothelial cells. In our previous studies, we showed that mRNA expression of Angptl3 increased significantly in kidneys of children with minimal change nephrotic syndrome. And the mRNA level of Angptl3 was increased in the glomerulus of adriamycin rats with the development of proteinuria. It was also found that Angptl3 was expressed in the cytoplasm of cultured podocytes. Thus, Angptl3 might influence the biological functions of GEnCs in a paracrine manner. In this study, we found that Angptl3 could increase the permeability of GEnCs and increase the level of protein kinase B phosphorylation in cultured GEnCs in vitro. LY294002, a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor, could prevent the increase of permeability of GEnCs induced by Angptl3. Our results also indicated that the integrin αVβ3 antibody (LM609) could block the Angptl3-induced protein kinase B phosphorylation.
