Abstract

Although Angiopoietin (Ang) 2 has been shown to function as a Tie2 antagonist in vascular endothelial cells, several recent studies on Ang2-deficient mice have reported that, like Ang1, Ang2 acts as a Tie2 agonist during in vivo lymphangiogenesis. However, the mechanism governing the Tie2 agonistic activity of Ang2 in lymphatic endothelial cells has not been investigated. We found that both Ang1 and Ang2 enhanced the in vitro angiogenic and anti-apoptotic activities of human lymphatic endothelial cells (HLECs) through the Tie2/Akt signaling pathway, while only Ang1 elicited such effects in human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). This Tie2-agonistic effect of Ang2 in HLECs resulted from low levels of physical association between Tie2 and Tie1 receptors due to a reduced level of Tie1 expression in HLECs compared to HUVECs. Overexpression of Tie1 and the resulting increase in formation of Tie1/Tie2 heterocomplexes in HLECs completely abolished Ang2-mediated Tie2 activation and the subsequent cellular responses, but did not alter the Ang1 function. This inhibitory role of Tie1 in Ang2-induced Tie2 activation was also confirmed in non-endothelial cells with adenovirus-mediated ectopic expression of Tie1 and/or Tie2...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
