Low doses of ionizing radiation enhance angiogenesis and consequently accelerate post-embryonic development but not regeneration in zebrafish.


ABSTRACT: Low doses of ionizing radiation (LDIR) activate endothelial cells inducing angiogenesis. In zebrafish, LDIR induce vessel formation in the sub-intestinal vessels during post-embryonic development and enhance the inter-ray vessel density in adult fin regeneration. Since angiogenesis is a crucial process involved in both post-embryonic development and regeneration, herein we aimed to understand whether LDIR accelerate these physiological conditions. Our data show that LDIR upregulate the gene expression of several pro-angiogenic molecules, such as flt1, kdr, angpt2a, tgfb2, fgf2 and cyr61in sorted endothelial cells from zebrafish larvae and this effect was abrogated by using a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Irradiated zebrafish present normal indicators of developmental progress but, importantly LDIR accelerate post-embryonic development in a VEGFR-2 dependent signaling. Furthermore, our data show that LDIR do not accelerate regeneration after caudal fin amputation and the gene expression of the early stages markers of regeneration are not modulated by LDIR. Even though regeneration is considered as a recapitulation of embryonic development and LDIR induce angiogenesis in both conditions, our findings show that LDIR accelerate post-embryonic development but not regeneration. This highlights the importance of the physiological context for a specific phenotype promoted by LDIR.
