Core Tip |
We previously reported that human vascular endothelial cells (VECs) are categorized into two types by their effects on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and the expressions of regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5): Pro-proliferative RGS5high (type-I) and anti-proliferative RGS5low (type-II) VECs. Performing proteomic kinase assays and inhibitor studies, we show here that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) is the crucial kinase that determines VEC phenotyping at the downstream of RGS5. Not only RGS5 overexpression suppressed p38 MAPK activities but also p38 MAPK inhibitions up-regulated RGS5 expression, indicating that “RGS5 induction” and “p38 MAPK inhibition” creates a vicious cycle in “type-II to type-I” conversions of human VECs.
