Abstract excerpt
Agonist-induced activation of Rho GTPase signaling leads to endothelial cell (EC) permeability and may culminate in pulmonary edema, a devastating complication of acute lung injury. Cingulin is an adaptor protein first discovered in epithelium and is involved in the organization of the tight junctions. This study investigated the role of cingulin in control of agonist-induced lung EC permeability via interaction...
