Use of animal models for the imaging and quantification of angiogenesis.
Experimental Animals 2018 Februrary 10
Angiogenesis is the process of developing new blood vessels from the original vascular network; it is necessary for normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development and wound healing. Angiogenesis is also involved in pathological events, including myocardial ischemia and tumor growth. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of this important process, a variety of methods and models are employed. These strategies can also be used to provide insight into the etiology of angiogenesis-related diseases, thereby contributing to the development of new diagnostics and treatments. Commonly used animal models include the chorioallantoic membrane and yolk sac membrane of chick embryos, the mouse retina and aortic ring, and angiogenesis reactors implanted into mice. These animal models have been instrumental in the study of the angiogenic process. For example, the chorioallantoic membrane undergoes robust angiogenesis during the development of chick embryos, and, because its surface is easily accessible, this membrane provides a convenient model for experimentation. Here, we discuss the methods that employ animal models for the imaging and quantification of angiogenesis. In addition, we propose potential novel directions for future investigations in this area.
