Abstract [en]

Regulation of vascular permeability to plasma is essential for tissue and organ homeostasis and is mediated by endothelial cell-to-cell junctions that tightly regulate the trafficking of molecules between blood and tissue. The single-pass transmembrane glycoprotein CD93 is upregulated in endothelial cells during angiogenesis and controls cytoskeletal dynamics. However, its role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating endothelial barrier function has not been elucidated yet. Here, we demonstrate that CD93 interacts with vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin and limits its phosphorylation and turnover. CD93 deficiency in vitro and in vivo induces phosphorylation of VE-cadherin under basal conditions, displacing it from endothelial cell–cell contacts. Consistent with this, endothelial junctions are defective in CD93−/− mice, and the blood–brain barrier permeability is enhanced. Mechanistically, CD93 regulates VE-cadherin phosphorylation and turnover at endothelial junctions through the Rho/Rho kinase-dependent pathway. In conclusion, our results identify CD93 as a key regulator of VE-cadherin stability at endothelial junctions, opening up possibilities for therapeutic strategies directed to control vascular permeability.
