الوصف: Abstract The complex interplay between vascular signaling and neurogenesis in the adult brain remains a subject of intense research. By exploiting the unique advantages of the zebrafish model, in particular the persistent activity of neural stem cells (NSCs) and the remarkable ability to repair brain lesions, we investigated the links between NSCs and cerebral blood vessels. In this study, we first examined the gene expression profiles of vascular endothelial growth factors aa and bb (vegfaa and vegfbb), under physiological and regenerative conditions. Employing fluorescence in situ hybridization combined with immunostaining and histology techniques, we demonstrated the widespread expression of vegfaa and vegfbb across the brain, and showed their presence in neurons, microglia/immune cells, endothelial cells and NSCs. At 1 day post-lesion (dpl), both vegfaa and vegfbb were up-regulated in neurons and microglia/peripheral immune cells (macrophages). Analysis of vegf receptors (vegfr) revealed high expression throughout the brain under homeostatic conditions, with vegfr predominantly expressed in neurons and NSCs and to a lower extent in microglia/immune cells and endothelial cells. These findings were further validated by Vegfr3 and Vegfr4 immunostainings, which showed significant expression in neurogenic radial glial cells. Following brain lesion (1 dpl), while vegfr gene expression remained stable, vegfr transcripts were detected in proliferative cells within the injured parenchyma. Collectively, our results provide a first overview of Vegf/Vegfr signaling in the brain and suggest important roles for Vegf in neurogenesis and regenerative processes.
