Upregulation of PLVAP mRNA by PMA requires protein translation In a first step, we asked whether PMA\induced PLVAP mRNA transcription depended on de novo protein synthesis. To solution this, we treated main human HDMVECn with 50?nmol/L PMA (concentration demonstrated to up\regulate PLVAP and induce the formation of endothelial diaphragms and fenestrae16) in presence or absence of CHX, a protein synthesis inhibitor.44 As shown previously,16 cells were exposed to PMA for the entire duration of the experiment. PLVAP ****mRNA Bambuterol significantly increased in time\dependent manner starting at ~2?hours after PMA treatment onset (Physique?1A). However, there was no increase of PLVAP mRNA or protein (Physique?1B) when cells were treated with PMA in presence CHX for up to 8?hours of treatment, demonstrating that PLVAP upregulation by PMA requires de novo protein synthesis. Open in a separate window Physique 1 Plasmalemma vesicle associated protein (PLVAP) mRNA upregulation by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) requires protein synthesis. (A) Relative PLVAP mRNA levels as determined by real time PCR and quantitated using the 2 2?Ct method. Total RNA from non\treated control EC (time 0) or EC treated for 2, 4 or 8?h with 50?nmol/L PMA (sound collection) or 50?nmol/L PMA+10?mol/L CHX (dashed collection) were reverse transcribed and probed with validated PLVAP and ACTB Taqman gene assays. (B) Immunoblotting with chicken anti\human PV1 C pAb (top panel) and anti\ACTB mAb (lower panel) of EC lysates treated with 50?nmol/L PMA??10?g/mL cycloheximide for 4 or 8?h. EC lysates treated with 50?nmol/L PMA for 24?h were used as positive control for PMA induction of PLVAP 3.2. PLVAP is usually up\regulated by PMA\induced soluble proteins We next asked whether the newly synthesized proteins needed to be secreted and possibly acted in autocrine fashion. First, we showed that a 30\minute pulse of 50?nmol/L PMA followed by its removal and chase using a defined medium elicits similar levels of PLVAP protein at 24?hours post activation when compared to 24?hours chronic PMA treatment (Physique?2A) with the highest levels of PLVAP protein sustained by EBM\FBS or EGM as chase medium (Physique?2A). Peak response was observed at 8?hours post pulse at doses 5?nmol/L PMA but remained high at 24?hours only for doses of 25?nmol/L (Physique?2C). Based on these results, a 30?moments pulse of 50?nmol/L PMA activation of EC and using EBM\FBS as chase medium was determined for the CM preparation.
