physiological function | The inhibition of HtrA2 by specific inhibitor UCF-101 or by shRNA reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced brain endothelial cell apoptosis, and results in significant improvement on lipopolysaccharide-induced blood-brain-barrier disruption as well as decreased occludin, claudin-5 and ZO-1 expressions. HtrA2 manipulates endothelial cell apoptosis by shifting into cytosol and inducing X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) degradation. UCF-101 administration or HtrA2 shRNA intervention attenuates the degradation of XIAP, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), cleavage, and caspase-3 cleavage. UCF-101 partly prevents the mobilization of HtrA2 from the mitochondria to the cytosol after lipopolysaccharide intervention | Homo sapiens |
