Abstract

The development of new vasculature plays a significant role in a number of chronic disease states, including neoplasm growth, peripheral arterial disease, and coronary artery disease, among many others. Traumatic injury and hemorrhage, however, is an immediate, often dramatic pathophysiologic insult which can also necessitate neovascularization to promote healing. Traditional understanding of angiogenesis involved resident endothelial cells branching outward from localized niches in the periphery. Additionally, there are a small number of circulating endothelial progenitor cells which participate directly in the process of neovessel formation. The bone marrow stores a relatively small number of so-called pro-angiogenic hematopoietic progenitor cells (PACs) – that is, progenitor cells of a hematopoietic potential that differentiate into key structural cells and stimulate or otherwise support local cell growth/differentiation at the site of angiogenesis. Following injury, a number of cytokines and intercellular processes are activated or modulated to promote development of new vasculature. These processes initiate and maintain a robust response to vascular insult, allowing new vessels to canalize and anastomose and provide timely oxygen delivering to healing tissue. Ultimately as we better understand the key players in the process of angiogenesis we can look to develop novel techniques to promote healing following injury.
