RESUMO

In amniote vertebrates, the definitive dorsal aorta is formed by the fusion of two primordial aortic endothelial tubes. Formation of the definitive dorsal aorta requires extensive cellular migrations and rearrangements of the primordial tubes in order to generate a single vessel located at the embryonic ventral midline. This study examines the role of VEGF signaling in the generation of the definitive dorsal aorta. Through gain- and loss-of-function studies in vivo in the chick embryo, we document a requirement for VEGF signaling in growth and remodeling of the paired primordia. We find that regions of the aorta are differentially sensitive to levels of VEGF signaling, and present evidence that areas of low blood flow are more sensitive to the loss of VEGF signaling. We also find that VEGF signaling regulates the intracellular distribution between membrane and cytoplasm of the cell-cell adhesion molecule VE-cadherin in aortic endothelial cells in vivo. Together, these finding identify mechanisms that likely contribute to the dynamic behavior of endothelial cells during aorta morphogenesis.
