Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

2.9K
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...

Mechanism of Angiogenesis

6.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Physiology
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • Chronic moderate hypoxia induces significant changes in the central nervous system's (CNS) microvascular network.
  • Hypoxia-induced angiogenesis is a critical adaptive response in the mammalian brain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a straightforward experimental approach for studying hypoxia-induced angiogenesis in the mammalian CNS.
  • To quantify microvascular changes in response to chronic hypoxia.

Main Methods:

  • Rodents (rats or mice) were exposed to mild hypoxia using either a hypobaric or normobaric chamber for three weeks.
  • Following exposure, animals were perfused, brains fixed, embedded, sectioned (5 μm), and stained for glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1) via immunohistochemistry.
  • Capillary profiles were identified and counted to measure the extent of angiogenesis.

Main Results:

  • The described method allows for the reliable observation and quantification of angiogenesis in the CNS.
  • Chronic hypoxia leads to measurable alterations in microvascular density.

Conclusions:

  • A simple, effective method exists to study CNS angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions.
  • This technique facilitates research into the brain's response to chronic hypoxia and its implications for neurological health.
