Abstract
We investigated the activity of P21-activated kinase-1 (Pak1) on myosin light chain phosphorylation and on thrombin-induced barrier dysfunction in human endothelial cells (HMEC). HMEC were infected with recombinant adenoviruses that express constitutively active Pak1, LacZ, wild-type, and a mutant myosin regulatory light chain, mMLC20 (Thr18Ala, Ser19Ala). Expression of the recombinant Pak1 mediated by adenovirus in HMEC was regulated. Active Pak1 induced dephosphorylation of MLC20 in HMEC, but not in smooth muscle cells. Active Pak1 significantly inhibited thrombin-induced endothelial barrier dysfunction. Expression of the unphosphorylatable MLC20 also inhibited thrombin-induced endothelial barrier dysfunction. Constitutively active Pak1 associated with phosphatase 2A and induced a post-translational modification of the phosphatase. Our data provide novel evidence indicating that Pak1 regulates endothelial barrier function through activation of phosphatase 2A.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
