Modern conception about cellular and molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis
Abstract
The review contains modern scientific literary data, recently conducted studies, which devoted to studying of molecular, cellular and genetic mechanisms in processes of angiogenesis. The authors describe in detail angiogenesis stages, value of the main proangiogenic and antiangiogenic factors, apoptosis factors, which have different orientation in regulation of blood vessels development. Role of a special population of bone marrow-derived stem cells - endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in the neovascularization is analyzed. Participation of VEGF-dependent, ANG/Tie-dependent and Notch-signaling pathways, posttranscription regulation of a genome with participation of microRNA in angiogenesis processes are discussed and reviewed.
