Abstract:Regulation of intercellular junctional complexes is critical for the control of endothelial barrier function and dependent on cAMP‐mediated Rac1 activation. Recently, the exchange protein activated by cAMP (Epac1) has been shown to serve as a tonic stabilizer of the endothelial barrier. Here, we further elucidate the role of Epac1 in cAMP and Rac1‐mediated endothelial barrier regulation.Transendothelial‐electrical‐resistance (TER) measurements in newly generated immortalized myocardial endothelial cells derive… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
