Abstract

Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels, is essential for growth and development. Development of drugs that can accelerate or decelerate angiogenesis in the context of various diseases requires appropriate preclinical screening. As angiogenesis involves complex cellular and molecular processes, in vivo studies are superior to in vitro investigations. Conventional in vitro, in vivo, and ex ovo models of angiogenesis are time consuming and tedious, and require sophisticated infrastructure for embryo culture. In the present study, we established an in ovo chick embryo yolk sac membrane (YSM) assay for angiogenesis and tested the angiogenic potential of arginine, conditioned medium (CM) from human adipose tissue and placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs-CM and PDMSCs-CM), avastin and vitamin C. The obtained results were confirmed with the routinely employed chick embryo Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) assay. Both assays revealed the pro-angiogenic nature of arginine, ADMSCs-CM, and PDMSCs-CM, and the anti-angiogenic effect of avastin and vitamin C. This novel in ovo YSM model is simple, reproducible, and highly economic in terms of the time frame and cost incurred. The proposed model is thus a suitable substitute to the CAM model for pilot screening of potential angiogenic and anti-angiogenic agents.
