Abstract
In this study, we investigated the angiogenic response induced by acellular aortic matrices implanted in vivo onto the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), a useful model for such investigation. Results showed that acellular matrices were able to induce a strong angiogenic response comparable to that of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGFβ2), a wellβknown angiogenic cytokine. The angiogenic response was further increased when exogenous FGFβ2 or transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβΞ²1) were added to the matrices and inhibited by the addition of an antiβFGFβ2 or antiβTGFβΞ²1 antibodies. The response may be considered dependent on a direct angiogenic effect exerted by the matrices and in part also by the presence of FGFβ2 and TGFβΞ²1 in the acellular matrices.
