Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits. Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl hydroxylase and factor...

Mechanism of Angiogenesis

Mechanism of Angiogenesis

Blood vessel formation starts early during embryonic development, around day 7. In the extraembryonic yolk sac, mesodermal precursor cells called hemangioblast proliferate and differentiate into angioblast. Angioblasts express vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 or VEGFR2, which binds VEGF-A, a proangiogenic factor, guiding blood vessel formation. VEGF signaling promotes angioblasts to form a blood island in the developing embryo. Angioblasts further differentiate, giving rise to...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

A three-year follow-up details a case of inferotemporal capillary haemangioma in a 35-year-old man. Argon laser treatment successfully maintained vision by preventing retinal detachment.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Vascular Tumors
Retinal Diseases

Background:

Capillary haemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that can affect the retina.
Retinal capillary haemangiomas can lead to vision-threatening complications like vitreous hemorrhage and exudative retinal detachment.

Observation:

A 35-year-old Indian gentleman presented with sudden, painless blurred vision in his left eye (visual acuity 6/60).
Fundoscopy revealed vitreous hemorrhage and an inferotemporal capillary haemangioma in the left eye.

Findings:

The capillary haemangioma was treated with argon laser photocoagulation to prevent exudative retinal detachment.
Over a three-year follow-up, mild regression of the haemangioma was observed.
The patient's left eye vision was maintained at 6/9.

Implications:

Argon laser photocoagulation is an effective treatment for inferotemporal capillary haemangiomas.
Early intervention can prevent vision loss associated with retinal capillary haemangiomas.
This case highlights the importance of long-term follow-up for patients with retinal vascular tumors.
