Selective expression of angiopoietin 1 and 2 in mesenchymal cells surrounding veins and arteries of the avian embryo
نویسندگان
چکیده
The expression of angiopoietin1 and 2 (ang1 and 2) and their receptor tie-2 was studied in avian embryos using in situ hybridization. Ang1 was transcribed in the mesenchymal cells surrounding venous endothelium expressing tie-2. By contrast, ang2 was transcribed around arteries in which the endothelium down-regulated tie-2 mRNA. The aorta and large arteries of the heart outflow tract were never surrounded by ang2 positive cells and maintained tie-2 expression.

Investigation of FLK-1 Gene Expression in Differentiated Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Exposed to Chemical, Mechanical and Chemical-mechanical Factors, in order to Study the Differentiation and its Stability
Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells, capable of differentiating into different cell lines.They can sense their surrounding biochemical and biophysical factors, which play major roles in their differentiation toward different phenotypes. Therefore, the exposure of these cells to endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as well as hemodynamic biomechanical forces, which act on...
متن کاملEffects of gamma radiation on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells of human breast tissue
Background: During radiation therapy, stromal cells surrounding the tumor (e.g mesenchymal stem cells) may affect the treatment outcomes. We aimed to investigate the effects of gamma radiation on the mRNA expression of cytokines, DNA damage and population doubling time (PDT) of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). Material and methods: ASCs were enzymatically extracted from breast tis...
متن کاملPlasticity of endothelial cells during arterial-venous differentiation in the avian embryo.
Remodeling of the primary vascular system of the embryo into arteries and veins has long been thought to depend largely on the influence of hemodynamic forces. This view was recently challenged by the discovery of several molecules specifically expressed by arterial or venous endothelial cells. We here analysed the expression of neuropilin-1 and TIE2, two transmembrane receptors known to play a...
متن کاملP-91: The Effects of Mesenchymal StemCell- Conditioned Medium on The Fertilization Rate and Embryo Development inNMRI Mice
Background: Normal growth of oocytes, embryos and also successful implantation depend on environmental factors such as the secretion of cumulus cells and composition of follicular and tubular fluids. Therefore, addition of serum, conditioned medium (CM) to the culture medium and also co-culture with somatic cells improve mammalian embryo development. So, in the respect to the secretion of diffe...
متن کاملI-18: Avian Chimeras and Germ Cell Migration
Background: In avian species, the germ line stem cell population arises outside of the embryonic gonad and proceeds on a circuitous migration to the germinal epithelium. Specifically, in the avian embryo, the process of germ line stem cell migration proceeds through a series of active and passive migratory phases. The germline stem cells or primordial germ cells (PGCs) located in the epiblast o...
