c-Myc promotes cell growth and transformation by ill-defined
mechanisms. c-myc
/
mice die by embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5) with defects in growth and in cardiac and neural development.
Here we report that the lethality of c-myc
/
embryos is also associated with profound defects in vasculogenesis and
primitive erythropoiesis. Furthermore, c-myc
/
embryonic stem (ES) and yolk sac cells are compromised in their differentiative and growth potential. These defects are intrinsic to
c-Myc, and are in part associated with a requirement for c-Myc for the
expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as VEGF can
partially rescue these defects. However, c-Myc is also required for the
proper expression of other angiogenic factors in ES and yolk sac cells,
including angiopoietin-2, and the angiogenic inhibitors
thrombospondin-1 and angiopoietin-1. Finally,
c-myc
/
ES cells are dramatically impaired in
their ability to form tumors in immune-compromised mice, and the small
tumors that sometimes develop are poorly vascularized. Therefore, c-Myc
function is also necessary for the angiogenic switch that is
indispensable for the progression and metastasis of tumors. These
findings support the model wherein c-Myc promotes cell growth and
transformation, as well as vascular and hematopoietic development, by
functioning as a master regulator of angiogenic factors.
