physiological function | activated protein C is a natural anticoagulant with anti-inflammatory and endothelial barrier protective properties, which significantly increases the barrier impedance of keratinocyte monolayers, overview. APC also increases junction proteins zona occludens, claudin-1 and VE-cadherin. APC activates Tie2, via a mechanism requiring, in sequential order, the receptors, endothelial protein C receptor, protease activated receptor-1, and EGF receptor, which selectively enhances the PI3K/Akt signaling to enhance junctional complexes and reduce keratinocyte permeability. Inhibition of Tie2 by its peptide inhibitor or small interfering RNA abolishes the barrier protective effect of APC on keratinocytes, as well as inhibition of the activation of Akt, but not ERK | Homo sapiens |
