Endothelial adherens junction proteins constitute an important element in the control of microvascular permeability. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) increases permeability to macromolecules via translocation of eNOS to cytosol and stimulation of eNOS-derived NO signaling cascade. The mechanisms by which NO signaling regulates permeability at adherens junctions are still incompletely understood. We explored the hypothesis that PAF stimulates hyperpermeability via S-nitrosation (SNO) of adherens junction proteins. We measured PAF-stimulated S-nitrosation of β-catenin and p120-catenin (p120) in three cell lines: ECV-eNOSGFP, EAhy926 (derived from human umbilical vein) and CVEC (derived from bovine heart endothelium) and in the mouse cremaster muscle in vivo. SNO correlated with diminished abundance of β-catenin and p120 at the adherens junction and with hyperpermeability. TNF-α increased NO production and caused similar increase in S-nitrosation as PAF. To ascertain the importance of eNOS subcellular location in this process, we used ECV-304 cells transfected with cytosolic eNOS (GFPeNOSG2A) and plasma membrane eNOS (GFPeNOSCAAX). PAF induced S-nitrosation of β-catenin and p120 and significantly diminished association between these proteins in cells with cytosolic eNOS but not in cells wherein eNOS is anchored to the cell membrane. Inhibitors of NO production and of S-nitrosation blocked PAF-induced S-nitrosation and hyperpermeability whereas inhibition of the cGMP pathway had no effect. Mass spectrometry analysis of purified p120 identified cysteine 579 as the main S-nitrosated residue in the region that putatively interacts with VE-cadherin. Our results demonstrate that agonist-induced SNO contributes to junctional membrane protein changes that enhance endothelial permeability.
