Abstract

Background— The involvement of Ca 2+ -dependent tyrosine kinase PYK2 in the Akt/endothelial NO synthase pathway remains to be determined. Methods and Results— Blood flow recovery and neovessel formation after hind-limb ischemia were impaired in PYK2 −/− mice with reduced mobilization of endothelial progenitors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)–mediated cytoplasmic Ca 2+ mobilization and Ca 2+ -independent Akt activation were markedly decreased in the PYK2-deficient aortic endothelial cells, whereas the Ca 2+ -independent AMP-activated protein kinase/protein kinase-A pathway that phosphorylates endothelial NO synthase was not impaired. Acetylcholine-mediated aortic vasorelaxation and cGMP production were significantly decreased. Vascular endothelial growth factor–dependent migration, tube formation, and actin cytoskeletal reorganization associated with Rac1 activation were inhibited in PYK2-deficient endothelial cells. PI3-kinase is associated with vascular endothelial growth factor–induced PYK2/Src complex, and inhibition of Src blocked Akt activation. The vascular endothelial growth factor–mediated Src association with PLCγ1 and phosphorylation of 783 Tyr-PLCγ1 also were abolished by PYK2 deficiency. Conclusion— These findings demonstrate that PYK2 is closely involved in receptor- or ischemia-activated signaling events via Src/PLCγ1 and Src/PI3-kinase/Akt pathways, leading to endothelial NO synthase phosphorylation, and thus modulates endothelial NO synthase–mediated vasoactive function and angiogenic response.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
