| Research Abstract |
Thrombomodulin (TM) is expressed on the cell surface of endothelial cells and regulates coagulation by inhibiting factor Va and VIIIa via activated protein C. This study found that TM increased levels of anti-apoptotic Mcl-1 in association with activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and protected endothelial cells from endothelial cell damage caused by inflammatory cytokines and calcineurin inhibitors. Furthermore, we identified that cytoprotective function was localized in epidermal growth factor-like domain and independent from anti-coagulation.
