Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to play an important role in angiogenesis. Its place in collateral artery growth (arteriogenesis), however, is still debated. In the present study, we analyzed the expression of VEGF and its receptors (Flk-1 and Flt-1) in a rabbit model of collateral artery growth after femoral artery occlusion. Hypoxia presents the most important stimulus for VEGF expression. We therefore also investigated the expression level of distinct hypoxia-inducible genes (HIF-1
, LDH A) and determined metabolic intermediates indicative for ischemia (ATP, creatine phosphate, and their catabolites). We found that arteriogenesis was not associated with an increased expression of VEGF or the mentioned hypoxia-inducible genes. Furthermore, the high-energy phosphates and their catabolites were entirely within normal limits. Despite the absence of an increased expression of VEGF and its receptors, collateral vessels increased their diameter by a factor of 10. The speed of collateral development could be increased by infusion of the chemoattractant monocyte chemotactic protein-1 but not by infusion of a 30 times higher concentration of VEGF. From these data, we conclude that under nonischemic conditions, arteriogenesis is neither associated with nor inducible by increased levels of VEGF and that VEGF is not a natural agent to induce arteriogenesis in vivo.
