Structure of vessels and capillaries
Monocellular layer of endothelial cellsSmall artery:
Capillary: endothelial cell, basal lamina, pericytes
Angiogenesis:Sprouting of cells from mature endothelial cells of the vessel wall
Mouse cornea:wounding induces angiogenesis,chemotactic response toangiogenic factors
(secretion of proteases, resolution ofBasal lamina, migration towards Chemotactic gradient, proliferation,Tube formation)
VEGF is factor largely specific for endothelial cells,bFGF can also induce, not specific for EC)
Sprouting towards chemotactic gradient: VEGF
Hypoxia - HIF - VEGFevery cell must be within 50 to 100 m of a capillary
HIF: hypoxia inducible factorVEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor
VEGF-gene:Regulated by HIF,HIF is continously produced,ubiquitinylated, degraded in proteasome,therefore low concentration;
Ubiquitinylation dependent onHippel-Lindau tumor suppressor(part of an E3 ubiquitin-ligase complex)
HIF1is modified by a prolyl hydroxylase,then better interaction with vHL protein, high turnover;Hydroxylase is regulated by O2

capillaries sprouting in the retina of an embryonic mouse

Vasculogenesis
Formation of vessels by differentiation of cells from angioblasts in the yolk sac of the embryo:
Is differentiation and proliferation of endothelial cells in a non-vascularized tissue
Leads to formation of a primitive tubular network
Has to undergo angiogenic remodeling to stable vascular system
Hemangioblast Angioblast EC
Postnatal vasculogenesis
Factors and receptors
Endothelium-specific factors:VEGF family: 5 factorsAngiopoietin family : 4 factorsEphrin family : at least 1 factor
Non EC-specific factors :bFGFPDGFTGF-
VEGF/VEGFR:VEGF-A: initiation of vasculogenesisand sprouting angiogenesis,Immature vessels,Vascular permeability factor,Haploid insufficiency in k.o. mice,
PlGF: remodeling of adult vessels VEGF-B: heart vascularization ?VEGF-C: lymphatic vesselsVEGF-D: lymphatic vessels ?
VEGFR-2: growth and permeabilityVEGFR-1: negative role ?, decoy receptor,
synergism with VEGFR-2 in tumor angiogenesis VEGFR-3: lymphatic vessels

VEGF-induced genes overlap to a large degreewith IL1-induced genes (50-60 %)

Angiopoietins und Tie Receptors:
Ang1: remodeling and maturationQuiescence and stabilityResistance to permeability,Supports interaction with other cells and matrix,Vessel size (VEGF number of vessels),Repair of damaged vessels
Ang2: natural antagonist,Overexpression similar Ang-1 k.o. oder Tie-2 k.o.,Destabilization signal for initiation of vascular remodelingEither regression or increased VEGF sensitivityAng2 is induced in tumors
Ang3: ?Ang4: ?
Tie2: binds Ang1-4
Tie1: ?
Ephrins und Eph-Receptors:
Largest family of growth factor receptors,Relevant for vascular system:Ephrin B2/ Eph B4 : remodeling and maturation Different for early arterial (Ephrin B2) and venous vessels (EphB4),Hypothesis: role for fusion of arterial/venous vessels
1-Sprouting
3-incorporation of BM-derived precursors
5-Lymphangiogenesis
Growth of tumor vessels
2-Intussusceptive growth
4-Cooption of existing vessels
Role of VEGF and Ang2 for tumor angiogenesis,VEGF-blockade is promising for anti-ngiogenesis therapy
Concept 2: many tumors “home in” onto vessels, occupate existing vessels,Vessel produces Ang2, first tumor regression, then VEGF production by tumor
Concept 1: non-vascularized Tumor
