Although structural and functional vascular remodeling (i.e., angiogenic evolution) in the osteogenic niche is a crucial modulator of oxygenation, inflammatory and bone precursor cells, most clinical and pre-clinical investigations have been limited to characterizing structural changes in the vasculature and bone. Therefore, we developed a new multimodality imaging approach that for the first time enabled the longitudinal (i.e., over four weeks) and dynamic characterization of multiple in vivo functional parameters in the remodeled vasculature and its effects on de novo osteogenesis, in a preclinical calvarial defect model. We employed multi-wavelength intrinsic optical signal (IOS) imaging to assess microvascular remodeling, intravascular oxygenation (SO<sub>2</sub>), and osteogenesis; laser speckle contrast (LSC) imaging to assess concomitant changes in blood flow and vascular maturity; and micro-computed tomography (μCT) to validate volumetric changes in calvarial bone. We found that angiogenic evolution was tightly coupled with calvarial bone regeneration and corresponded to distinct phases of bone healing, such as injury, hematoma formation, revascularization, and remodeling. The first three phases occurred during the initial two weeks of bone healing and were characterized by significant in vivo changes in vascular morphology, blood flow, oxygenation, and maturity. Overall, angiogenic evolution preceded osteogenesis, which only plateaued toward the end of bone healing (i.e., four weeks). Collectively, these data indicate the crucial role of angiogenic evolution in osteogenesis. We believe that such multimodality imaging approaches have the potential to inform the design of more efficacious tissue-engineering calvarial defect treatments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7886,"journal":{"name":"Angiogenesis","volume":"27 1","pages":"105 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138457372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perturbations that affect sFLT1 trafficking blunted endothelial cell secretion and promoted intracellular mis-localization in cells and zebrafish embryos. siRNA-mediated depletion of specific trafficking components revealed requirements for RAB27A, VAMP3, and STX3 for post-Golgi vesicle trafficking and sFLT1 secretion, while STX6, ARF1, and AP1 were required at the Golgi.
