- W4311935114 abstract "During neurovascular development, brain endothelial cells (BECs) respond to secreted signals from the neuroectoderm that regulate CNS angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels in the brain, and barriergenesis, the acquisition of blood-brain barrier (BBB) properties. Wnt/β-catenin signaling and Vegf signaling are both required for CNS angiogenesis; however, the relationship between these pathways is not understood. Furthermore, while Wnt/β-catenin signaling is essential for barriergenesis, the role of Vegf signaling in this vital process remains unknown. Here, we provide the first direct evidence, to our knowledge, that Vegf signaling is not required for barriergenesis and that activation of Wnt/β-catenin in BECs is independent of Vegf signaling during neurovascular development. Using double transgenic glut1b:mCherry and plvap:EGFP zebrafish (Danio rerio) to visualize the developing brain vasculature, we performed a forward genetic screen and identified a new mutant allele of kdrl, an ortholog of mammalian Vegfr2. The kdrl mutant lacks CNS angiogenesis but, unlike the Wnt/β-catenin pathway mutant gpr124, acquires BBB properties in BECs. To examine Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation in BECs, we chemically inhibited Vegf signaling and found robust expression of the Wnt/β-catenin transcriptional reporter line 7xtcf-Xla.Siam:EGFP. Taken together, our results establish that Vegf signaling is essential for CNS angiogenesis but is not required for Wnt/β-catenin-dependent barriergenesis. Given the clinical significance of either inhibiting pathological angiogenesis or stimulating neovascularization, our study provides valuable new insights that are critical for the development of effective therapies that target the vasculature in neurological disorders." @default.
