Abstract

Statement of Purpose: Regeneration of arteries is of importance in treating some vascular diseases. However, how vessel branching affecting arteriogenesis remains incompletely understood. Different kinds of endothelial cells are involved in arteriogenesis, offering various functions in building the vascular networks. Tip endothelial cell that has filopodial structure is one of the most important cell types in vessel branching. Studies have demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and delta-like 4 (Dll4) signaling pathways play important roles in regulating endothelial tip cell behavior for vessel branching. In this study, we have built a delivery system based on VEGF, Dll4, and a thermosensitive and reactive oxygen species (ROS) sensitive hydrogel. We hypothesized that the delivery system can promote the formation of vessels, extension of filopodia and rapid formation of arterioles.
