MLK2/3-deficient mice exhibit defects in native collateral artery formation.(A) Representative confocal images (n = 5 mice) of control and MLK2/3-deficient whole mount P6 adductor muscle vasculature stained with antibodies to endomucin (capillary and venous vasculature, red) and SMA (arterial and venous smooth muscle, green). Gracilis collateral arteries in WT mice, but not MLK2/3-deficient mice, interconnect the PCFA to the SA. (B) Representative stereomicroscope images of P6 whole mount abdominal muscle stained with an antibody to SMA (green). Arteriole-to-arteriole arcades are indicated (red arrows). The abdominal muscle vasculature of Map3k10-/-Map3k11-/- mice shows very few arteriole-to-arteriole interconnections. Quantitation reveals significantly reduced arteriolar arcade numbers in Map3k10-/-Map3k11-/- mice compared to WT mice (mean ± SEM; n = 5 mice).

NOX2 contributes to the oxidative stress of bone ECs and the damage of angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling. (A) qPCR analysis of the relative mRNA levels of three critical NOXs, involved in endothelial oxidative injuries, in the ECs in tibia metaphysis. T1DM mice were intraperitoneally injected with GKT137831 (NOX1/4 inhibitor) or one of the two NOX2 inhibitors, NOX2ds-tat (NOX2ds) and GSK2795039 (GSK), or VAS2870 (VAS, a pan-NOX inhibitor) once every two days from week 4 through 8. The levels of blood glucose (B), insulin (C) and body weight (D) during treatments were tested.

One-way or two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey posttest analysis.

The effects of anti-oxidant treatments on the bone blood vessels of T1DM mice. T1D mice received intraperitoneal injection of an anti-oxidant, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or tempol (TPO), once every other day from week 4 through 8. (A) Flow cytometry analysis of the general ROS levels in the bone ECs from 8-week-old tibia by detecting intracellular DCF fluorescence. The levels of blood glucose (B), insulin (C) and body weight (D). (E) Tibia length at week 8.

Histomorphometric quantitation of the area fraction of vessel columns (G) and the number of vascular buds per growth plate length (H). Flow cytometry quantification of type H ECs (I) and total ECs (J) in 8-week-old tibia.

Endothelial JNK-deficient mice display abnormal native collateral arteries.(A,B) Representative confocal images (n = 7 mice) of whole mount adductor muscle vasculature reveals SMA-covered gracilis collateral arteries in P6 control mice, but not JNK-deficient mice (A). Confocal imaging of Dil perfused P6 adductor muscle vasculature (n = 5 mice) demonstrates distinct gracilis collaterals interconnecting the PCFA to the SA in control mice. Vessels emerging from the PCFA and the SA in E3KO mice do not fully interconnect, but branch into smaller vessels. At P0, gracilis collaterals were not SMA-covered, but were perfused with Dil in control mice (B). The analogous vessels in E3KO mice did not interconnect, but branched extensively into smaller vessels (B) (n = 5 mice). (C) Representative stereomicroscope images of Dil-perfused abdominal muscle arterial vasculature of control and JNK-deficient P0 mice. Arteriole-to-arteriole arcades (indicated by red arrows) were quantitated (mean ± SEM; n = 3 mice). (D) Representative confocal images (n = 3~4 mice) of whole mount adductor muscles of control and JNK-deficient E16.5 embryos showing GFP-labeled vascular endothelial cells. (E) Representative confocal images (n = 3~5 mice) of control and JNK-deficient E16.5 embryo adductor muscle vasculature immunostained for Endomucin (Emcn, red) and isolectinB4 (iB4, green). Prominent vessels emerging from the PCFA and SA are indicated with white arrowheads.

The effects of insulin therapy on the bone blood vessels of T1DM mice. Drug therapy with high dose (hi, 0.5 U/mouse) or low dose (lo, 0.05 U/mouse) of insulin (ins) or the combination of insulin and a relatively low dose of GSK2795039 (GSK, a NOX2 inhibitor, 2 mM) was conducted in two time courses: started immediately after the confirmation of DM and once per day in week 4 to 8 (4-8w); started at week 6 and performed once per day in week 6 to 8 (6-8w).
