Which of Y1-Y5 receptors (Rs) mediate NPY's angiogenic activity was studied using Y2R-null mice and R-specific antagonists. In Y2R-null mice, NPY-induced aortic sprouting and in vivo Matrigel capillary formation were decreased by 50%; Y1R-antagonist blocked the remaining response. NPY-induced sprouting was equally inhibited by Y2R- (and Y5R- but less by Y1R-) antagonists in wild type mice. Spontaneous...
Age-related changes in NPY-driven angiogenesis were investigated using Matrigel and aortic sprouting assays in young (2 months.) and aged (18 months.) mice. In both assays, NPY-induced vessel growth decreased significantly with age. In parallel, aged mice showed reduced expression (RT-PCR) of Y2 receptors and the NPY converting enzyme, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV), in spleens. Aging of human microvascular...
