pubmed:abstractText |
The largest subgroup of integrins is that containing the beta1 subunit. beta1 integrins have been implicated in a wide array of biological processes ranging from adhesion to cell growth, organogenesis, and mechanotransduction. Global deletion of beta1 integrin expression results in embryonic death at ca. embryonic day 5 (E5), a developmental time point too early to determine the effects of this integrin on vascular development. To elucidate the specific role of beta1 integrin in the vasculature, we conditionally deleted the beta1 gene in the endothelium. Homozygous deletion of beta1 integrins in the endothelium resulted in failure of normal vascular patterning, severe fetal growth retardation, and embryonic death at E9.5 to 10, although there were no overt effects on vasculogenesis. Heterozygous endothelial beta1 gene deletion did not diminish fetal or postnatal survival, but it reduced beta1 subunit expression in endothelial cells from adult mice by approximately 40%. These mice demonstrated abnormal vascular remodeling in response to experimentally altered in vivo blood flow and diminished vascularization in healing wounds. These data demonstrate that endothelial expression of beta1 integrin is required for developmental vascular patterning and that endothelial beta1 gene dosing has significant functional effects on vascular remodeling in the adult. Understanding how beta1 integrin expression is modulated may have significant clinical importance.
