Angiopoietin-2 displays VEGF-dependent modulation of capillary structure and endothelial cell survival in vivo
Open accessAbstract
Modulation of Tie2 receptor activity by its angiopoietin ligands is crucial for angiogenesis, blood vessel maturation, and vascular endothelium integrity. It has been proposed that angiopoietins 1 (Ang1) and 2 (Ang2) are pro- and anti-angiogenic owing to their respective agonist and antagonist signaling action through the Tie2 receptor. The function of Ang2 has remained controversial, however, with recent reports suggesting that in some circumstances, it may be pro-angiogenic. We have examined this issue using the transient ocular microvessel network called the pupillary membrane as a unique in vivo model for studying the effects of vascular regulators. We show that in vivo , in the presence of endogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, Ang2 promotes a rapid increase in capillary diameter, remodeling of the basal lamina, proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, and stimulates sprouting of new blood vessels. By contrast, Ang2 promotes endothelial cell death and vessel regression if the activity of endogenous VEGF is inhibited. These observations support a model for regulation of vascularity where VEGF can convert the consequence of Ang2 stimulation from anti- to pro-angiogenic.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
