DJ-1 interacts with the ectopic ATP-synthase in endothelial cells during acute ischemia and reperfusion

ATP-Synthase is now found to be ectopically expressed in a variety of cell surfaces, with putative functions included in angiogenesis, migration, and intracellular pH control. In ECs, we focused on the characterization of DJ-1's endothelial function and its role in the regulation of the ectopic ATP-synthase gene expression and I/R. DJ-1 was only discovered in the elusiveome of ischemic cells, and it was only in this fragment. The inhibition of DJ-1 expression slowed the ecATP-S response to ischemia by a whopping 52%, and its exogenous administration maximized the effect, as well as an increased Akt phosphorylation and angiotube-formation potential at reperfusion. The ecATP-S's experiments showed a direct correlation between DJ-1 and the ecATP-S. During acute ischemia and reperfusion, Altogether's report shows that DJ-1 is actively cleared and released from ischemic ECs, and plays a vital role in the regulation of the ecto-S activity during acute ischemia and reperfusion.
