Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Neurogenesis is a process influenced by environmental cues that create highly specific functional niches. Recently, the role of blood vessels in the maintenance and functioning of neurogenic niches during development and in adult life has been hallmarked. In addition to their trophic support for the highly demanding neurogenic process, blood vessels regulate neuroblast differentiation and migration and define functional domains. Since neurogenesis along the forebrain neurogenic niche (FNN) is a multistage process, in which neuroblast proliferation, differentiation and migration are spatially restricted to specific locations; we evaluated the structural features of vascular beds that support these processes during critical time points in their development. Additionally, we studied the molecular identity of the endothelial components of vascular beds using the expression of the venous marker EphB4. Our results show that blood vessels along the FNN: 1) are present very early in development; 2) define the borders of the FNN since early developmental stages; 3) experience constant remodeling until achieving their mature structure; 4) show venous features during perinatal developmental times; and 5) down-regulate their EphB4 expression as development proceeds. Collectively, our results describe the formation of the intricate vascular network that may support neurogenesis along the FNN and show that blood vessels along this neurogenic niche are dynamic entities that experience significant structural and molecular remodeling throughout developmental stages.
