Background: Hypoxia induced injury of pulmonary microvascular endothelial barrier is closely related to the pathogenesis of acute lung injury after lung transplantation. VE-cadherin is an important structural molecule for pulmonary microvascular endothelial barrier. In this study, we aim to investigate the roles of VE-cadherin in hypoxia induced injury of pulmonary microvascular endothelial barrier. Methods: Rat model of hypoxia and cultured pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) were utilized. Determination of PMVECs apoptosis, skeleton combination was conducted to verify the effects of hypoxia on injury of pulmonary microvascular endothelial barrier. In addition, VE-cadherin expression was modulated by administration of siRNA in order to investigate the roles of VE-cadherin in hypoxia induced PMVECs apoptosis and skeleton recombination. Results: Our data indicated that expression of VE-cadherin was down-regulated in hypoxia-exposed PMVECs. Whereas, in the cells treated using siRNA, down-regulation of VE-cadherin did not trigger PMVECs apoptosis, but it increased the sensitivity of PMVECs to the hypoxia induced apoptosis. In cases of hypoxia, the expression of VE-cadherin was significantly down-regulated, together with endothelial skeleton recombination and increase of permeability, which then triggered endothelial barrier dysfunction. Conclusions: These data verify that VE-cadherin expression played an important role in hypoxia induced PMVECs apoptosis and cellular skeletal recombination.

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by pulmonary microvascular endothelial barrier dysfunction. Mesenchymal stem cell-secreted hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has positive effects of lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced pulmonary endothelial barrier. Studies have exhibited the mammalian TORC1 (mTORC1) signaling is of potent angiogenesis effects. The mTOR protein kinase has two distinct multiprotein complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2 that regulate different branches of the mTOR network. However, detailed mTORC2 mechanisms of HGF protective effects remain poorly defined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether mTORC2 mediated protective effects of MSC-secreted HGF against LPS-induced pulmonary microvascular endothelial barrier dysfunction activated like mTORC1 activation. We introduced MSC-PMVEC coculture transwell system and recombinant murine HGF on LPS-induced endothelial cell barrier dysfunction in vitro and then explored potential mechanisms by lentivirus vector-mediated HGF, mTORC1 (raptor), and mTORC2 (rictor) gene knockdown modification. Endothelial paracellular and transcellular permeability, adherent junction protein (VE-Cadherin), cell proliferation, apoptosis, and mTOR-associated proteins were tested. These revealed that HGF could promote quick reestablishment of adherent junction VE-cadherin and decrease endothelial paracellular and transcellular permeability during LSP-induced endothelial dysfunction with the involvement of mTORC2 (rictor) and mTORC1 (raptor) pathways. Raptor and rictor knockdown in LPS-induced PMEVECs with stimulation of HGF increased apoptosis ratio, activated Cleaved-Caspase-3 expression, and downregulated cell proliferation. Moreover, mTORC2/Akt but not mTORC2/PKC had significance on HGF endothelial protective effects. Taken together, these highlight activation mTORC2 pathway could also contribute to vascular endothelial barrier recovery by MSC-secreted HGF in LPS stimulation.
