Popis: International audience; In the events leading to type 2 diabetes, inadequate compensatory increase of the beta cells mass could be a direct consequence of vascular disease, either by endothelial dysfunction or secondary to defective secretion of angiogenic peptides by beta cells. To dissect the role of angiogenic process in the maintenance and growth of islets, we studied pancreatic chimeras, consisting of endocrine chick cells and murine endothelial cells, obtained by grafting embryonic chick pancreas in SCID mice. We analyzed angiogenesis during development of the pancreatic chimera and examined the impact of hyperglycemia on the vasculature of the pancreas. We then used an avian-specific retrovirus, the RCAS system, to over-express VEGF during pancreatic development. Materials and methods: Seven-week-old female SCID mice were made diabetic by a single intra-peritoneal injection of streptozotocin (160mg/kg). Embryonic chick pancreases (E14) were grafted under the kidney capsule of SCID mice and collected 14 days later. Pancreatic vasculature was analyzed by immunohistochemistry using nestin, a mouse-specific endothelial marker, and in situ hybridization with both mouse- and chick-specific VEGFR-2 probes. Expression of angiopoïetin-2 (Ang2), thrombospondin-1 (Tsp1) and VEGF was analyzed by in situ hybridization. To over-express VEGF, an avian-specific retrovirus RCAS carrying the gene encoding the VEGF (RCAS-VEGF) was prepared. Chick pancreases were infected in vitro with the RCAS-VEGF for 1 hour before graft. Mammalian cells were not susceptible to the RCAS infection. All analyzes were performed on n=5 animals. This study was carried out along the principles of laboratory animal care. Results: As compared to normoglycemia, hyperglycemia increased beta-cell density (p
