Abstract
VE-cadherin-mediated cell-cell junction weakening increases paracellular permeability in response to both angiogenic and inflammatory stimuli. Although Semaphorin 3A has emerged as one of the few known anti-angiogenic factors to exhibit pro-permeability activity, little is known about how it triggers vascular leakage. Here we report that Semaphorin 3A induced VE-cadherin serine phosphorylation and internalisation, cell-cell junction destabilisation, and loss of barrier integrity in brain endothelial cells. In addition, high-grade glioma-isolated tumour-initiating cells were found to secrete Semaphorin 3A, which promoted brain endothelial monolayer permeability. From a mechanistic standpoint, Semaphorin 3A impinged upon the basal activity of the serine phosphatase PP2A and disrupted PP2A interaction with VE-cadherin, leading to cell-cell junction disorganization and increased permeability. Accordingly, both pharmacological inhibition and siRNA-based knockdown of PP2A mimicked Semaphorin 3A effects on VE-cadherin. Hence, local Semaphorin 3A production impacts on the PP2A/VE-cadherin equilibrium and contributes to elevated vascular permeability.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
