ABSTRACT: DT-13(25(R,S)-ruscogenin-1-O-[?-d-glucopyranosyl-(1?2)][?-d-xylopyranosyl-(1?3)]-?-d-fucopyranoside) has been identified as an important factor in TNF-?-induced vascular inflammation. However, the effect of DT-13 on TNF-?-induced endothelial permeability and the potential molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Hence, this study was undertaken to elucidate the protective effect of DT-13 on TNF-?-induced endothelial permeability and the underlying mechanisms in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo results showed that DT-13 could ameliorate endothelial permeability in mustard oil-induced plasma leakage in the skin and modulate ZO-1 organization. In addition, the in vitro results showed that pretreatment with DT-13 could increase the transendothelial electrical resistance value and decrease the sodium fluorescein permeability coefficient. Moreover, DT-13 altered the mRNA and protein levels of ZO-1 as determined by real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence analyses. DT-13 treatment decreased the phosphorylations of Src, PI3K, and Akt in TNF-?-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Further analyses with PP2 (10?µM, inhibitor of Src) indicated that DT-13 modulated endothelial permeability in TNF-?-induced HUVECs in an Src-dependent manner. LY294002 (10?µM, PI3K inhibitor) also had the same effect on DT-13 but did not affect phosphorylation of Src. Following decreased expression of non-muscle myosin IIA (NMIIA), the effect of DT-13 on the phosphorylations of Src, PI3K, and Akt was abolished. This study provides pharmacological evidence showing that DT-13 significantly ameliorated the TNF-?-induced vascular endothelial hyperpermeability through modulation of the Src/PI3K/Akt pathway and NMIIA, which play an important role in this process.
