1 | Atorvastatin preserves the integrity of endothelial adherens junctions by inhibiting vascular endothelial cadherin tyrosine phosphorylation. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
2 | Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cad) tyrosine (Tyr) phosphorylation has been implicated in the disruption of adherens junctions (AJs) induced by inflammatory reactions. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
3 | Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cad) tyrosine (Tyr) phosphorylation has been implicated in the disruption of adherens junctions (AJs) induced by inflammatory reactions. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
4 | Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cad) tyrosine (Tyr) phosphorylation has been implicated in the disruption of adherens junctions (AJs) induced by inflammatory reactions. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
5 | Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cad) tyrosine (Tyr) phosphorylation has been implicated in the disruption of adherens junctions (AJs) induced by inflammatory reactions. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
6 | In ECs treated with interleukin (IL)-1beta for 30 min, VE-cad Tyr phosphorylation, dissociation of the VE-cad/beta-catenin complex and transendothelial migration (TEM) of monocytes were increased. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
7 | Atorvastatin inhibited IL-1beta-induced Tyr phosphorylation of VE-cad by inhibiting RhoA and by dephosphorylating MLC. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
8 | The attenuating effect of atorvastatin on VE-cad Tyr phosphorylation was reversed when RhoA was activated or MLC phosphatase was inhibited. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
9 | Furthermore, inhibiting farnesyl transferase or geranylgeranyl transferase reproduced the inhibitory effects of atorvastatin on VE-cad Tyr phosphorylation. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
10 | In addition, atorvastatin inhibited monocyte-induced VE-cad Tyr phosphorylation in ECs and attenuated IL-1beta-induced TEM of monocytes. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
11 | Our study introduces a novel pleiotropic effect of atorvastatin and suggests that statins protect the integrity of AJs in ECs by inhibiting RhoA-mediated Tyr phosphorylation of VE-cad. | Tyrosine | cadherin 5 | Homo sapiens |
