Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

4.0K
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

7.8K
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
  • Developmental Biology
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • The developing chick optic tectum serves as a model for corticogenesis and angiogenesis.
  • Shared regulatory mechanisms govern cell behaviors in both processes, leading to coordinated 3D organization.
  • Discrepancies exist regarding the temporal and spatial organization of the optic tectum's vascular bed during development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the spatial and temporal correlations between corticogenesis and angiogenesis in the developing chick optic tectum.
  • To elucidate the dynamic processes of angiogenesis within this model system.
  • To define the relationship between neural development and vascular formation.

Main Methods:

  • Application of diverse methodological approaches to analyze angiogenesis dynamics.
  • Detailed observation of developmental events in the chick optic tectum.
  • Correlation analysis of corticogenic and angiogenic events.

Main Results:

  • Angiogenesis in the optic tectum follows a characteristic sequence, including primitive vascular bed formation and subsequent remodeling.
  • The first phase coincides with early tectal corticogenesis and neuron differentiation.
  • The second phase aligns with increased complexity and local circuit network elaboration.
  • Significant asymmetric influence is exerted by the cephalic-caudal axis, in addition to dorsal-ventral and radial axes.
  • Tight correlations between specific corticogenic and angiogenic events occur simultaneously along cephalic-caudal and radial axes.

Conclusions:

  • The study introduces and justifies the term 'cortico-angiogenesis' for the integrated process.
  • Developmental events in corticogenesis and angiogenesis are tightly correlated in space and time.
  • The cephalic-caudal axis plays a crucial role in the spatial organization of optic tectum angiogenesis.
  • Understanding these correlations provides insights into the coordinated development of neural and vascular systems.
