| Research Abstract |
Although class I PI3Ks and class III Vps34 are well-characterized, the physiological roles of PI3K class IIa (C2a) remain largely unknown. Global C2a-null mice and EC-specific C2a conditional KO mice showed embryonic lethality due to defects in sprouting angiogenesis and vascular maturation. In cultured ECs, siRNA-mediated knockdown of C2a resulted in impaired endosomal trafficking. C2a knockdown also impaired cell signaling including VEGF receptor-2 internalization and RhoA activation on endosomes, but not Akt and ERK. Consequently, endosomal delivery of VE-cadherin to EC junctions was disturbed, leading to defects in VE-cadherin transport and assembly and barrier integrity. C2a haplo-insufficient mice exhibited defective postnatal angiogenesis and vascular barrier integrity with a higher incidence of dissecting aortic aneurysm formation on angiotensin-II infusion. Thus, C2a plays a crucial role in vascular formation and barrier integrity.
