We investigated the hypothesis that cAMP-dependent protein
kinase (PKA) protects against endothelial barrier dysfunction in response to proinflammatory mediators. An
E1
,
E3
, replication-deficient
adenovirus (Ad) vector was constructed containing the complete sequence
of PKA inhibitor (PKI) gene (AdPKI). Infection of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) with AdPKI
resulted in overexpression of PKI.
Treatment with 0.5 µM thrombin increased transendothelial albumin
clearance rate (0.012 ± 0.003 and 0.035 ± 0.005 µl/min for
control and thrombin, respectively); the increase was prevented with
forskolin + 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (F + I) treatment.
Overexpression of PKI resulted in abrogation of the F + I-induced inhibition of the permeability increase. However, with HMEC
infected with ultraviolet-inactivated AdPKI, the F + I-induced
inhibition was present. Also, F + I treatment of HMEC transfected with
reporter plasmid containing the cAMP response element-directed
transcription of the luciferase gene resulted in an almost threefold
increase in luciferase activity. Overexpression of
PKI inhibited this induction of
luciferase activity. The results show that Ad-mediated overexpression
of PKI in endothelial cells abrogated
the cAMP-mediated protection against increased endothelial
permeability, providing direct evidence that cAMP-dependent protein
kinase promotes endothelial barrier function.
