Abstract:
:The vascularization of the central nervous system occurs by angiogenic sprouting, a process in which different factors like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin (Ang)-1/2 must act in a coordinated fashion. We investigated how these factors participate in capillarization of the cerebellum, an area experiencing marked reorganization processes during its postnatal development. VEGF and Ang-1 mRNA were predominantly expressed by astrocytes, while Ang-2 mRNA was specifically induced at the tip of invading endothelial cell cords. Similar to the cerebral cortex, vascularization of the cerebellum occurred in an inside-out pattern, following closely the generation and differentiation of each cerebellar layer. VEGF and Ang-1/2 expression patterns shifted in a similar inside-out fashion, supporting their proposed function in vessel growth and maturation.
