Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Adaptation of vascular networks to functional demands needs vessel growth, vessel regression and vascular remodeling. Biomechanical forces resulting from blood flow play a key role in these processes. It is well-known that metabolic stimuli, mechanical forces and flow patterns can affect gene expression and remodeling of vascular networks in different ways. For instance, in the sprouting type of angiogenesis related to hypoxia, there is no blood flow in the rising capillary sprout. In contrast, it has been shown that an increase of wall shear stress initiates the splitting type of angiogenesis in skeletal muscle. Otherwise, during development, both sprouting and intussusception act in parallel in building the vascular network, although with differences in spatiotemporal distribution. Thereby, in addition to regulatory molecules, flow dynamics support the patterning and remodeling of the rising vascular tree. Herewith we present an overview of angiogenic processes with respect to intussusceptive angiogenesis as related to local hemodynamics. |
