Angiopoietin-1 is implicated in the maturation and remodeling of vascular network during embryo development and in adult life. Through its tyrosine kinase receptor Tie-2 it stimulates endothelial cells to migrate and change shape. Here we show that angiopoietin-1 elicits chemokinesis of endothelial cells by a phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase / Son of sevenless-dependent modulation of Rac1 and RhoA. The resulting temporal events are associated with cytoskeletal rearrangements and occur in discrete zones of the cell. Endothelial cells carrying dominant negative mutants of RhoA and Rac1 or treated with LY294002, an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase, drammaticaly decrease their chemokinetic velocity. Taken together, these results further expand our understanding of angiopoietin-1-mediated endothelial cell motility during vascular network assembly and angiogenesis.
