| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we focused on the genes activated in endothelial cells by interacting with neurons during vascular development and neuro-vascular juxtapositional alignment. We found JunB as a new angiogenic regulator activated in neuro-vascular interactions. JunB regulated endothelial cell shape and tip cell production, and promotes angiogenesis in vivo. In vivo JunB knockdown in endothelial cells decreased branches of parallel aligned with neurons, indicates JunB expression in endothelial cells is required for neuro-vascular juxtapositional alignment. This study will facilitate a better understanding of mechanisms of neuro-vascular alignment and be useful for application studies for the vascular diseases.
