| Research Abstract |
The expression of Girdin is found in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. We previously found that the expression of Girdin and its Akt-mediated phosphorylation at serine 1416 ragulated the chemotaxis of endothelial cells and played an essential role in angiogenesis. We also found that Girdin formed a complex with R-Ras in mature endothelial cells, where Girdin regulated the intracellular trafficking of VE-cadherin. The results suggest that Girdin regulates transendothelial permmeability in synergy with R-Ras and VE-cadherin.
We additionally investigated the function of Girdin in vascular smooth muscle cells. The expression of Girdin and its Akt-mediated phosphorylation were involeved in the chemotaxis and cytokinesis of vascular smooth muscle cells. Both knockdown of Girdin and knock-in of alanine at serine 1416 attenuated the neointima formation after vascular injury. The results suggest that Girdin is essential for neointimal formation after vascular injury.
