Deletion of endothelial glycocalyx component endomucin impairs retinal vascularization and suppresses pathological neovascularization

Listed in NCBI GEO

Endomucin (EMCN), an endothelial-selective glycocalyx component highly expressed in capillaries and venous endothelium, plays a critical role in regulating vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) endocytosis and downstream of VEGF signaling.

Description

Using a global EMCN knockout mouse model, we investigated the effects of EMCN deficiency on retinal vascularization during development and pathological angiogenesis.

While Emcn-/- mice showed no significant difference in the avascular area in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model, there was a significant reduction in neovascular tufts at postnatal day 17. RNA seq of the OIR retinas with gene ontology enrichment analysis indicate response to hypoxia and angiogenesis pathways were differentially regulated in Emcn-/- mice in OIR.
