Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (hnRNPA2/B1) is a protein involved in the regulation of RNA processing, cell metabolism, migration, proliferation, and apoptosis. However, the effect of hnRNPA2/B1 on injured endothelial cells (ECs) remains unclear. We investigated the effect of hnRNPA2/B1 on lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced vascular endothelial injury in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the underlying mechanisms. LPS was used to induce EC injury, and the roles of hnRNPA2/B1 in EC barrier dysfunction and inflammatory responses were measured by testing endothelial permeability and the expression of inflammatory factors after the suppression and overexpression of hnRNPA2/B1. To explore the underlying mechanism by which hnRNPA2/B1 regulates endothelial injury, we studied the VE-cadherin/ β -catenin pathway and NF- κ B activation in HUVECs. The results showed that hnRNPA2/B1 was elevated in LPS-stimulated HUVECs. Moreover, knockdown of hnRNPA2/B1 aggravated endothelial injury by increasing EC permeability and promoting the secretion of the inflammatory cytokines TNF- α , IL-1 β , and IL-6. Overexpression of hnRNPA2/B1 can reduce the permeability and inflammatory response of HUVEC stimulated by LPS in vitro, while increasing the expression of VE-Cadherin and  β -catenin. Furthermore, the suppression of hnRNPA2/B1 increased the LPS-induced NF- κ B activation and reduced the VE-cadherin/ β -catenin pathway. Taken together, these results suggest that hnRNPA2/B1 can regulate LPS-induced EC damage through regulating the NF- κ B and VE-cadherin/ β -catenin pathways.
