Formation of the vasculature is an essential developmental process, delivering oxygen and nutrients to support cellular processes needed for tissue growth and maturation. Retinoic acid (RA) and its downstream signaling pathway is vital for normal pre‐ and post‐natal development, playing key roles in the specification and formation of many organs and tissues. Here, we review the role of RA in blood and lymph vascular development, beginning with embryonic yolk sac vasculogenesis and remodeling and discussing RA's organ‐specific roles in angiogenesis and vessel maturation. In particular, we highlight the multi‐faceted role of RA signaling in CNS vascular development and acquisition of blood–brain barrier properties. 相似文献

Bone marrow development and endochondral bone formation occur simultaneously. During endochondral ossification, periosteal vasculatures and stromal progenitors invade the primary avascular cartilaginous anlage, which induces primitive marrow development. We previously determined that bone marrow podoplanin (PDPN)-expressing stromal cells exist in the perivascular microenvironment and promote megakaryopoiesis and erythropoiesis. In this study, we aimed to examine the involvement of PDPN-expressing stromal cells in postnatal bone marrow generation. Using histological analysis, we observed that periosteum-derived PDPN-expressing stromal cells infiltrated the cartilaginous anlage of the postnatal epiphysis and populated on the primitive vasculature of secondary ossification center. Furthermore, immunophenotyping and cellular characteristic analyses indicated that the PDPN-expressing stromal cells constituted a subpopulation of the skeletal stem cell lineage. In vitro xenovascular model cocultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells and PDPN-expressing skeletal stem cell progenies showed that PDPN-expressing stromal cells maintained vascular integrity via the release of angiogenic factors and vascular basement membrane-related extracellular matrices. We show that in this process, Notch signal activation committed the PDPN-expressing stromal cells into a dominant state with basement membrane-related extracellular matrices, especially type IV collagens. Our findings suggest that the PDPN-expressing stromal cells regulate the integrity of the primitive vasculatures in the epiphyseal nascent marrow. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to comprehensively examine how PDPN-expressing stromal cells contribute to marrow development and homeostasis. 相似文献

Endothelial progenitor cells: past, state of the art, and future 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Recent evidences suggest that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) derived from bone marrow (BM) contribute to de novo vessel formation in adults occurring as physiological and pathological responses. Emerging preclinical trials have shown that EPCs home to sites of neovascularization after ischemic events in limb and myocardium. On the basis of these aspects, EPCs are expected to develop as a key strategy of therapeutic applications for the ischemic organs. Such clinical requirements of EPCs will tentatively accelerate the translational research aiming at the devices to acquire the optimized quality and quantity of EPCs. In this review, we attempt to discuss about biological features of EPCs and speculate on the clinical potential of EPCs for therapeutic neovascularization. 相似文献

For nearly 40 years functional studies of the mouse quaking gene (qkI) have focused on its role in the postnatal central nervous system during myelination. However, the homozygous lethality of a number of ENU-induced alleles reveals that quaking has a critical role in embryonic development prior to the start of myelination. In this article, we show that quaking has a previously unsuspected and essential role in blood vessel development. Interestingly, we found that quaking, a nonsecreted protein, is expressed in the yolk sac endoderm, adjacent to the mesodermal site of developing blood islands, where the differentiation of blood and endothelial cells first occurs. Antibodies against PE-CAM-1, TIE-2 and SM-alpha-actin reveal that embryos homozygous for the qk(k2) allele have defective yolk sac vascular remodeling and abnormal vessels in the embryo proper at midgestation, coinciding with the timing of embryonic death. However, these mutants exhibit normal expression of Nkx2.5 and alpha-sarcomeric actin, indicating that cardiac muscle differentiation was normal. Further, they had normal embryonic heart rates in culture, suggesting that cardiac function was not compromised at this stage of embryonic development. Together, these results suggest that quaking plays an essential role in vascular development and that the blood vessel defects are the cause of embryonic death. 相似文献

Gene Targeting of Tissue Factor, Factor X, and Factor VII in Mice: Their Involvement in Embryonic Development 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Inactivation of specific genes in mammals by gene targeting has accelerated our ability to determine gene function. Nearly all genes involved in the blood coagulation system have been knocked out in mice. Tissue factor (TF) is the main initiator of the coagulation system and functions as a cell surface receptor for coagulation factor VII (FVII). Knockout studies have shown that TF deficiency results in lethality around embryonic day (E) 8.5-10.5. The results suggest a role for TF in embryonic blood vessel development and maintenance of vascular integrity in the yolk sac. In addition, TF may be involved in the maintenance of the placental labyrinth. Factor X (FX) deficiency causes partial embryonic lethality between E11.5-12.5.FX–/– mice that were born died from fatal neonatal bleeding. In contrast, FVII deficiency is not embryonic lethal, but FVII–/– neonates died from hemorrhage within the first days after birth. The various lethal phenotypes of deficiencies of the different coagulation factors suggest involvement in processes beyond hemostasis. Both TF/FVIIa and FXa can trigger intracellular signaling events in certain cell types. Signaling by coagulation proteases and protease activated receptors (PARs) may have important roles in embryonic development. 相似文献

We report the first endothelial lineage-specific transgenic mouse allowing live imaging at subcellular resolution. We generated an H2B-EYFP fusion protein which can be used for fluorescent labeling of nucleosomes and used it to specifically label endothelial cells in mice and in differentiating embryonic stem (ES) cells. A fusion cDNA encoding a human histone H2B tagged at its C-terminus with enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP) was expressed under the control of an Flk1 promoter and intronic enhancer. The Flk1::H2B-EYFP transgenic mice are viable and high levels of chromatin-localized reporter expression are maintained in endothelial cells of developing embryos and in adult animals upon breeding. The onset of fluorescence in differentiating ES cells and in embryos corresponds with the beginning of endothelial cell specification. These transgenic lines permit real-time imaging in normal and pathological vasculogenesis and angiogenesis to track individual cells and mitotic events at a level of detail that is unprecedented in the mouse. 相似文献

Heart failure secondary to ischemic cardiomyopathy is the primary cause of cardiovascular mortality. The promise of the collateral circulation lies in its potential to alter the course of the natural history of coronary heart disease. The collateral circulation of the heart is responsible for supplying blood and oxygen to the myocardium at ischemic risk following severe stenosis and reduced vasoelasticity function of a major coronary artery. In response to flow, stress, and pressure, collateral vessels are restructured and remodeled. Vascular remodeling by its very nature implies synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix components in the vessel wall. Under normal physiological conditions proteinases that break down the specialized matrix are tightly regulated by antiproteinases. The balance between proteinase and antiproteinase influences is discoordinated during collateral development which leads to adaptive changes in the structure, function, and regulation of extracellular matrix components in the vessel wall. The role of extracellular matrix components in coronary collateral vessel formation in a canine model of chronic coronary artery occlusion has been demonstrated. The role of matrix proteinases and antiproteinases in the collateral vessel play a significant role in the underlying mechanisms of collateral development. This review presents new and significant information regarding the role of extracellular matrix proteinases and antiproteinases in vascular remodeling, function, and collateral development. Such information will have a significant impact on the understanding of the basic biology of the vascular extracellular matrix turnover, remodeling, and function as well as on elucidating potential avenues for pharmacological approaches designed to increase collateral formation and optimize myocardial blood flow in the treatment of ischemic heart disease.
