Mechanism of Angiogenesis01:10

Mechanism of Angiogenesis

6.9K
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...

Lung Capacity01:47

Lung Capacity

56.4K
The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

3.5K
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...

Pleura of the Lungs01:13

Pleura of the Lungs

7.4K
The lungs are nestled in a cavity, shielded by the pleura. The pleura, a form of serous membrane, wraps around each lung. This membrane arrangement consists of two layers: the visceral and parietal pleurae. The visceral pleura lines the surface of the lungIn contrast, the parietal pleura is the outer layer and contacts to the thoracic wall, the mediastinum, and the diaphragm. The hilum is the point of connection between the visceral and parietal layers. The space between the parietal and...

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs01:17

Gross Anatomy of the Lungs

4.8K
The lungs are a pair of vital organs connected to the trachea via the left and right bronchi. The base of these organs meets the dome-shaped muscle known as the diaphragm. Encased by the pleurae, the lungs contact the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter yet wider, and has a larger volume than the left lung. The left lung has an indentation known as the cardiac notch. The superior region of the lungs is referred to as the apex, whereas the base is the lower region near the diaphragm. The...

Breathing01:05

Breathing

64.6K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary medicine
  • Vascular biology
  • Cellular and molecular medicine

Background:

  • The lung is supplied by both systemic (tracheal, bronchial) and pulmonary circulations.
  • Documenting angiogenesis is challenging due to the dual vascular supply.
  • Systemic circulation angiogenesis is observed in asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic thromboembolism, and carcinomas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate and investigate angiogenesis in the lung's systemic and pulmonary circulations.
  • To explore the mechanisms driving new vascular bed expansion in adult lungs.
  • To clarify the role of growth factors in lung angiogenesis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on lung angiogenesis.
  • Analysis of documented cases of angiogenesis in various pulmonary diseases.
  • Distinguishing endothelial cell proliferation from true angiogenesis.

Main Results:

  • Angiogenesis of systemic circulations is documented in asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic thromboembolism, and carcinomas.
  • Vasa vasorum angiogenesis occurs in large pulmonary vessels following chronic hypoxia.
  • Increased pulmonary capillaries are observed in chronic hypoxia models, post-pneumonectomy, and some carcinomas.

Conclusions:

  • Lung angiogenesis mechanisms, particularly growth factors, are complex and intertwined with disease processes.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the drivers of new vascular network formation in adult lungs.
  • Differentiating angiogenesis from general endothelial cell proliferation is key in pulmonary disease research.
