Explain glycolysis
During sprouting angiogenesis, an individual endothelial tip cell grows out from a pre-existing vascular network and guides following and proliferating stalk cells to form a new vessel. Metabolic pathways such as glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration as the major sources of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) for energy production are differentially activated in these types of endothelial cells (ECs) during angiogenesis. Therefore, we studied energy metabolism during angiogenesis in more detail in tip cell and non-tip cell human umbilical vein ECs. Small interfering RNA was used to inhibit transcription of glycolytic enzymes PFKFB3 or LDHA and mitochondrial enzyme PDHA1 to test whether inhibition of these specific pathways affects tip cell differentiation and sprouting angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. We show that glycolysis is essential for tip cell differentiation, whereas both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration occur during proliferation of non-tip cells and in sprouting angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we demonstrate that inhibition of mitochondrial respiration causes adaptation of EC metabolism by increasing glycolysis and vice versa. In conclusion, our studies show a complex but flexible role of the different metabolic pathways to produce ATP in the regulation of tip cell and non-tip cell differentiation and functioning during sprouting angiogenesis.
Introduction
Blood vessel sprouts are characterized by leading tip cells that grow out from a pre-existing vascular network, and by trailing stalk cells. The tip cell at the forefront of the sprouting vessel is attracted by microenvironmental signals and navigates by following gradients of angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), that regulate tip and stalk cell functions1,2. Recently, the importance of metabolic regulation in the differential activation of these angiogenic endothelial cells (ECs) was shown3.
In animal and in vitro models, it has been demonstrated that differentiated ECs are characterized by glycolytic formation of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) for energy production and have mitochondrial respiration as the secondary source of ATP. It has been shown that ECs increase glycolysis in response to angiogenic activation, a condition with metabolic characteristics similar to proliferative cancer cells4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Glycolysis is not efficient for ATP production because only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule are generated, whereas mitochondrial respiration produces 36 ATP molecules per glucose molecule (Fig. 1). The need for glycolysis in cancer cells was discovered recently because lactate can be used to produce building blocks for biosynthesis, which is needed in proliferating cells11,12. However, upregulation of mitochondrial respiration and thus oxidative phosphorylation can also occur in cancer cells when needed, indicating flexibility of cancer cells in ways to generate ATP8,9,10,13. Moreover, recent studies have suggested that mitochondrial respiration is essential for angiogenic capacity and homeostasis of the endothelium, although ECs are considered to have a glycolytic phenotype14,15,16. Mitochondria in lung ECs have been shown to contribute to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-d
