Akt1 is necessary for the vascular maturation and angiogenesis during cutaneous wound healing.

Angiogenesis
Payaningal R SomanathTatiana V Byzova

Abstract

Previous in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that Akt1 serves as a crucial regulator of vascular maturation, extracellular matrix composition, and angiogenesis in tumors. Hence, we hypothesized that Akt1 may be necessary for other angiogenesis-dependent processes, including wound healing. Using Akt1 (-/-) and Akt2 (-/-) mice, we demonstrate that deficiency of Akt1, but not Akt2, results in impaired assembly of collagen in skin wounds and around the blood vessels. Wounds in Akt1 (-/-) mice, but not in Akt2 (-/-) mice, were characterized by reduced vascular area as well as impaired vascular maturation as evidenced by reduced smooth muscle cell recruitment. Expression level of a major angiogenic growth factor, VEGF, was significantly lower in wound tissues of Akt1 (-/-) mice as compared to WT. However, despite the impaired collagen assembly and reduced angiogenesis in Akt1 (-/-) wounds, no significant difference in migration of fibroblasts into the wound area was observed between WT and Akt1 (-/-) mice. Importantly, the dynamics of wound closure were similar between WT, Akt1 (-/-), and Akt2 (-/-) mice. Thus, it appears that although the lack of Akt1 impairs VEGF expression, wound angiogenesis, and subsequent maturation of vasc...Continue Reading
