Polymerase delta-interacting protein 2 mediates brain vascular permeability by regulating ROS-mediated ZO-1 phosphorylation and localization at the interendothelial border by Keke Wang, Hongyan Qu, Ruinan Hu, Bernard Lassègue, Douglas C. Eaton, Chang Song, Jianjun Mu, Kathy K. Griendling, Marina S. Hernandes

“…Abstract Background Polymerase delta-interacting protein 2 (Poldip2) is a novel regulator of vascular permeability that has been shown to be involved in aggravating blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption following stroke; however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. While endothelial tight junctions (TJ) are critical mediators of BBB permeability, the effect of Poldip2 on TJ function has not been elucidated yet. …”
