Hedgehog signaling is essential for endothelial tube formation during vasculogenesis.
During embryonic development, the first blood vessels are formed through the aggregation and subsequent assembly of angioblasts (endothelial precursors) into a network of endothelial tubes, a process known as vasculogenesis. These first vessels generally form in mesoderm that is adjacent to endodermal tissue. Although specification of the angioblast lineage is independent of endoderm interactio...
متن کاملVasculogenesis: Differentiation of Endothelial Cells and Vascular Plexus Formation
The formation of the circulatory system precedes that of all other organ systems during vertebrate development, born out of a need to ensure rapid delivery of nutrients and oxygen to tissues of the growing embryo. Thus, as the developing organism continues to increase in size and undergo cellular differentiation and morphogenesis, the vasculature likewise expands, remodels, and becomes speciali...
متن کاملRetinoic acid regulates endothelial cell proliferation during vasculogenesis.
A dietary deficiency of vitamin A is associated with cardiovascular abnormalities in avian and murine systems. Retinoic acid (RA) is the active metabolite of vitamin A and whether it directly regulates mammalian blood vessel formation has not been determined and is investigated herein. We used mice rendered RA-deficient via targeted deletion of retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (Raldh2(-/-)), the e...
متن کاملEndothelial progenitor cells for vasculogenesis.
Postnatal vasculogenesis is considered to be involved in neovascularization of adult tissues, because bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were isolated from circulating mononuclear cells in peripheral blood and were shown to incorporate into sites of physiological and pathological neovascularization and to differentiate into mature endothelial cells. EPCs might have an attra...
متن کاملMulticellular sprouting during vasculogenesis.
Living organisms, from bacteria to vertebrates, are well known to generate sophisticated multicellular patterns. Numerous recent interdisciplinary studies have focused on the formation and regulation of these structures. Advances in automatized microscopy allow the time-resolved tracking of embryonic development at cellular resolution over an extended area covering most of the embryo. The resul...
