Mechanism of Action

In vitro	In endothelial cells, PMA (Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) increases levels of Thy-1 mRNA and protein, induces Thy-1 up-regulation and inhibits capillary-like tube formation and endothelial cell migration.^[1]
In vivo	In the zebrafish model, PMA (Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) initially enhances endothelial cell migration, subsequently activating the PKC-δ/Syk/NF-κB-mediated pathway to up-regulate Thy-1, which in turn inhibits endothelial cell migration.^[1]
