Monocyte-secreted Wnt5a interacts with FZD5 in microvascular endothelial cells and induces angiogenesis through tissue factor signaling
Angiogenesis during reactive and pathologic processes is characteristically associated with inflammation. Inflammatory cells participate in angiogenesis by secreting different molecules that affect endothelial cell functions. We had previously shown that induced tissue factor (TF) expression in acti...

| Sumario: | Angiogenesis during reactive and pathologic processes is characteristically associated with inflammation. Inflammatory cells participate in angiogenesis by secreting different molecules that affect endothelial cell functions. We had previously shown that induced tissue factor (TF) expression in activated microvascular endothelial cells (mEC) is able to induce angiogenesis via autocrine regulation. However, the signals that induce TF expression in mEC are not fully known. Here, we demonstrate that monocyte paracrine cross-talk with mECs triggers mEC-TF expression. We have identified that monocyte-secreted Wnt5a induces TF expression in mEC and functionally induces cell monolayer repair and angiotube formation in vitro as well as microvessel formation in vivo. Monocyte-secreted Wnt5a activates FZD5 in mECs, which signals to induce the release of intracellular Ca2+ and increase NF kappa B transcription activity and TF gene expression. In sum, Wnt5a secreted by monocytes signals through the noncanonical Wnt-FZD5 pathway in mECs to induce TF expression that induces angiogenesis by autocrine regulation. |
