Although the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing
angiogenesis are only beginning to be understood, signaling through endothelial-restricted receptors, particularly receptor tyrosine kinases, has been shown to play a pivotal role in these events. Recent
reports show that EphB receptor tyrosine kinases and their transmembrane-type ephrin-B2 ligands play essential roles in the embryonic vasculature. These studies suggest that cell-to-cell repellent effects due to bidirectional EphB/ephrin-B2 signaling may be
crucial for vascular development, similar to the mechanism described
for neuronal development. To test this hypothesis, we disrupted the precise expression pattern of EphB/ephrin-B2 in vivo by
generating transgenic (CAGp-ephrin-B2 Tg) mice that express ephrin-B2
under the control of a ubiquitous and constitutive promoter, CMV
enhancer- -actin promoter- -globin splicing acceptor (CAG). These
mice displayed an abnormal segmental arrangement of intersomitic vessels, while such anomalies were not observed in Tie-2p-ephrin-B2 Tg
mice in which ephrin-B2 was overexpressed in only vascular endothelial
cells (ECs). This finding suggests that non-ECs expressing ephrin-B2
alter the migration of ECs expressing EphB receptors into the
intersomitic region where ephrin-B2 expression is normally absent.
CAGp-ephrin-B2 Tg mice show sudden death at neonatal stages from aortic
dissecting aneurysms due to defective recruitment of vascular smooth
muscle cells to the ascending aorta. EphB/ephrin-B2 signaling between
endothelial cells and surrounding mesenchymal cells plays an essential
role in vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and vessel maturation.
