Abstract

Angiogenesis and osteogenesis are tightly coupled during bone development and regeneration. Mesenchymal cells in the developing stroma elicit angiogenic signals to recruit new blood vessels into bone. Reciprocal signals, likely emanating from the incoming vascular endothelium, stimulate mesenchymal cell specification through additional interactions with cells within the vascular stem cell niche. The hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1 alpha (HIF‐1) pathway has been identified as a key component in this process. We demonstrated that overexpression of HIF‐1 in mature osteoblasts through disruption of the von Hippel‐Lindau protein profoundly increases angiogenesis and osteogenesis; these processes appear to be coupled by cell nonautonomous mechanisms involving the action of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on the endothelial cells. The same occurred in the model of injury‐mediated bone regeneration (distraction osteogenesis). Surprisingly, manipulation of HIF‐1 does not influence angiogenesis of the skull bones, where earlier activation of HIF‐1 in the condensing mesenchyme upregulates osterix during cranial bone formation.

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.
