We have recently described that Notch activates nitric oxide (NO) signaling in the embryonic endocardium. Both Notch signaling and NO signaling have been shown to be important during adult arteriogenesis. Notch has been shown to be required for remodeling of the collateral vessels, whereas NO is required for the initial vasodilatory response to ischemia. Whether Notch also has an impact on the vasodilatory phase of arteriogenesis after ischemia is not known. We tested the hypothesis that endothelial cell-Notch function is required for NO induction and vasodilation, in response to ischemia in the adult vasculature.
