Effects of lysophosphatidylcholine on monolayer cell permeability of human coronary artery endothelial cells

LysoPC increases monolayer permeability and reduces the expression of tight junction molecules in HCAECs through oxidative stress and activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. The antioxidant can effectively block LysoPC-induced endothelial permeability.
