Afadin Facilitates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-Induced Network Formation and Migration of Vascular Endothelial Cells by Inactivating Rho-Associated Kinase Through ArhGAP29.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: We previously reported that afadin, an actin filament-binding protein, regulated vascular endothelial growth factor-induced angiogenesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of how Rho-associated kinase is activated in afadin-knockdown human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and how its activation is involved in defects of...
