High-flow through abnormal blood vessels underlies many life-threatening diseases. The ability to safely and non-invasively normalize these vessels by molecular intervention holds promise to treat these devastating conditions. Here we studied high-flow AV shunts caused by upregulation of Notch signaling via endothelial expression of constitutively-active Notch4 (Notch4*). Using 4D, two-photon imaging with cellular resolution in live mice, we found that normalizing Notch signaling by turning off Notch4* promptly converted large caliber, high-flow AV shunts to capillary-like vessels. The process was initiated by vessel narrowing without the loss of endothelial cells. Restoration of venous receptor EphB4 is an underlying mechanism, as EphB4 expression was recovered upon Notch normalization and required for the vessel regression. The structural regression of the high-flow AV shunts returned shunting flow to perfusing vessels, reversing tissue hypoxia and dysfunction. Our data provide direct, in vivo evidence that a single genetic manipulation in Notch pathway can exert dominant effects over hemodynamics leading to safe degeneration of the high-flow AV shunts at the core of AV Malformations.
