The cardiovascular system is the first functional organ system to develop in the vertebrate embryo, reflecting its critical role during normal development and pregnancy. Blood vessels are key regulators of organogenesis by providing oxygen, nutrients and molecular signals [Maltepe et al. 1997; Chung and Ferrara, 2011; Eshkar-Oren et al. 2015].

 +
Vascular development commences in the early embryo with in situ formation of nascent vessels from angioblasts, leading to a primary capillary plexus (vasculogenesis). After the onset of blood circulation, the primary vascular pattern is further expanded as new vessels sprout from pre-existing vessels (angiogenesis). Both processes, vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, are regulated by genetic signals and environmental factors dependent on anatomical region, physiological state, and developmental stage of the embryo. The developing vascular network is further shaped into a hierarchical system of arteries and veins, through progressive effects on blood vessel arborization, branching, and pruning (angioadaptation). These latter influences include hemodynamic forces, regional changes in blood flow, local metabolic demands and growth factor signals.

Disruptions in embryonic vascular patterning-adaptation may result in adverse pregnancy outcomes, including birth defects, angiodysplasias and cardiovascular disease, intrauterine growth restriction or prenatal death. Some chemicals may act as potential vascular disrupting compounds (pVDCs) altering the expression, activity or function of molecular signals regulating blood vessel development and remodeling. Critical pathways involve receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., growth factor-signaling), G-protein coupled receptors (e.g., chemokine signaling), and GPI-anchored receptors (e.g. uPAR system). Embryonic vascular disruption has been implicated in the etiology of human birth defects associated with medications taken by women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) [van Gelder et al. 2009] and thalidomide teratogenesis in animal studies [Therapontos et al. 2009; Vargesson et al. 2015].

A number of experimental and computational models are fit for purpose of monitoring vascular development and assessing vascular insufficiency [Knudsen and Kleinstreuer 2011]. These include: transgenic zebrafish that express enhanced green fluorescent protein in blood vessels [Jin et al. 2005]; chick embryos [Therapontos et al. 2009; Vargesson, 2015]; and rodent embryo culture [Ellis-Hutchings et al. 2016]. Phenotypic readouts of angiogenic vessel formation of the intersegmental vessels (ISVs) in transgenic zebrafish embryos has been used to screen and validate anti-angiogenic compounds [Tran et al. 2007; Yano et al. 2012; Yozzo et al. 2013; Tal et al. 2014; McCollum et al. 2016]. In transgenic zebrafish embryos, live-cell imaging has been used to quantitatively detect the trajectory dynamics of vascular patterning [Clendenon et al. 2013; Shirinfard et al. 2013] and confocal cell imaging has been used to develop a quantitative assay capable of detecting relatively subtle changes (~8%) in ISV length relative to controls during chemical exposure [Tal et al. 2016]. Computational approaches have also been used to predict vascular insufficiency. For example, an in vitro signature for potential vascular disrupting chemicals (pVDCs) was mined for developmental toxicity based on ToxCast [Kleinstreuer et al. 2011; Knudsen and Kleinstreuer, 2011]. This has since been applied to the ToxCast inventory to rank order 1060 chemicals for validation testing [McCollum et al. 2016; Tal et al. 2016; Knudsen et al. 2016]. As such, a chemical’s potential to disrupt vascular patterning, remodeling, or utero-placental circulation could be a class predictor of developmental toxicity solely based on HTS in vitro data in combination with our understanding the embryology behind vascular development.

How this Key Event works

The cardiovascular system is the first functional organ system to develop in the vertebrate embryo, reflecting its critical role during normal development and pregnancy. Blood vessels are key regulators of organogenesis by providing oxygen, nutrients and molecular signals [Maltepe et al. 1997; Chung and Ferrara, 2011; Eshkar-Oren et al. 2015].

Vascular development commences in the early embryo with in situ formation of nascent vessels from angioblasts, leading to a primary capillary plexus (vasculogenesis). After the onset of blood circulation, the primary vascular pattern is further expanded as new vessels sprout from pre-existing vessels (angiogenesis). Both processes, vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, are regulated by genetic signals and environmental factors dependent on anatomical region, physiological state, and developmental stage of the embryo. The developing vascular network is further shaped into a hierarchical system of arteries and veins, through progressive effects on blood vessel arborization, branching, and pruning (angioadaptation). These latter influences include hemodynamic forces, regional changes in blood flow, local metabolic demands and growth factor signals.

Disruptions in embryonic vascular patterning-adaptation may result in adverse pregnancy outcomes, including birth defects, angiodysplasias and cardiovascular disease, intrauterine growth restriction or prenatal death. Some chemicals may act as potential vascular disrupting compounds (pVDCs) altering the expression, activity or function of molecular signals regulating blood vessel development and remodeling. Critical pathways involve receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., growth factor-signaling), G-protein coupled receptors (e.g., chemokine signaling), and GPI-anchored receptors (e.g. uPAR system). Embryonic vascular disruption has been implicated in the etiology of human birth defects associated with medications taken by women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) [van Gelder et al. 2009] and thalidomide teratogenesis in animal studies [Therapontos et al. 2009; Vargesson et al. 2015].

How it is Measured or Detected

Methods that have been previously reviewed and approved by a recognized authority should be included in the Overview section above. All other methods, including those well established in the published literature, should be described here. Consider the following criteria when describing each method: 1. Is the assay fit for purpose? 2. Is the assay directly or indirectly (i.e. a surrogate) related to a key event relevant to the final adverse effect in question? 3. Is the assay repeatable? 4. Is the assay reproducible?

A number of experimental and computational models are fit for purpose of monitoring vascular development and assessing vascular insufficiency [Knudsen and Kleinstreuer 2011]. These include: transgenic zebrafish that express enhanced green fluorescent protein in blood vessels [Jin et al. 2005]; chick embryos [Therapontos et al. 2009; Vargesson, 2015]; and rodent embryo culture [Ellis-Hutchings et al. 2016]. Phenotypic readouts of angiogenic vessel formation of the intersegmental vessels (ISVs) in transgenic zebrafish embryos has been used to screen and validate anti-angiogenic compounds [Tran et al. 2007; Yano et al. 2012; Yozzo et al. 2013; Tal et al. 2014; McCollum et al. 2016]. In transgenic zebrafish embryos, live-cell imaging has been used to quantitatively detect the trajectory dynamics of vascular patterning [Clendenon et al. 2013; Shirinfard et al. 2013] and confocal cell imaging has been used to develop a quantitative assay capable of detecting relatively subtle changes (~8%) in ISV length relative to controls during chemical exposure [Tal et al. 2016]. Computational approaches have also been used to predict vascular insufficiency. For example, an in vitro signature for potential vascular disrupting chemicals (pVDCs) was mined for developmental toxicity based on ToxCast [Kleinstreuer et al. 2011; Knudsen and Kleinstreuer, 2011]. This has since been applied to the ToxCast inventory to rank order 1060 chemicals for validation testing [McCollum et al. 2016; Tal et al. 2016; Knudsen et al. 2016]. As such, a chemical’s potential to disrupt vascular patterning, remodeling, or utero-placental circulation could be a class predictor of developmental toxicity solely based on HTS in vitro data in combination with our understanding the embryology behind vascular development.

Evidence Supporting Taxonomic Applicability

Complex functional assays such as the rat aortic explant assay (AEA), rat whole embryo culture (WEC), and the zebrafish embryotoxicity (ZET) along with transcriptomic signatures provide a tiered approach to evaluate HTS signatures and their taxonomic implications for conserved pathways to prioritize further in vivo testing studies [Ellis-Hutchings et al. 2016; Franzosa et al. 2016].
