#LaminarShear pushes VE-PTP (How?π€) to downstream pole of #EndothelialCell, followed by endocytosis->β«p-Tie2
Potentially explain how #DisturbedFlowβ«#VascularPermeability & #Atherosclerosis
Inhibition of VE-PTP by AKB-9785 fortifies #EndothelialBarrier & reduces Atheromas at atheroprone regions (aortic arch inner curvature, arch+intercostal bifurcations)π
Nice comparison of anti-leakage strategies
VE-PTP inhibition
Angpt1 activation of Tie2
Angpt2 inhibition
