Notch activation in aortic endothelial cells (ECs) takes place at embryonic
stages during cardiac valve formation and induces endothelial-to-mesenchymal
transition (EndMT). Using aortic ECs, we show here that active Notch expression
promotes EndMT, resulting in downregulation of vascular endothelial cadherin
(VE-cadherin) and upregulation of mesenchymal genes such as those for fibronectin
and Snail1/2. In these cells, transforming growth factor ?1 exacerbates Notch
effects by increasing Snail1 and fibronectin activation. When Notch-downstream
pathways were analyzed, we detected an increase in glycogen synthase kinase 3?
(GSK-3?) phosphorylation and inactivation that facilitates Snail1 nuclear
retention and protein stabilization. However, the total activity of Akt was
downregulated. The discrepancy between Akt activity and GSK-3? phosphorylation is
explained by a Notch-induced switch in the Akt isoforms, whereby Akt1, the
predominant isoform expressed in ECs, is decreased and Akt2 transcription is
upregulated. Mechanistically, Akt2 induction requires the stimulation of the
?-catenin/TCF4 transcriptional complex, which activates the Akt2 promoter.
Active, phosphorylated Akt2 translocates to the nucleus in Notch-expressing
cells, resulting in GSK-3? inactivation in this compartment. Akt2, but not Akt1,
colocalizes in the nucleus with lamin B in the nuclear envelope. In addition to
promoting GSK-3? inactivation, Notch downregulates Forkhead box O1 (FoxO1),
another Akt2 nuclear substrate. Moreover, Notch protects ECs from oxidative
stress-induced apoptosis through an Akt2- and Snail1-dependent mechanism.
