In this study the vasoproliferative effects of adult hamster epidermis and epidermal homogenates on the microvasculature of the hamster cheek pouch were observed. Implants of epidermis stimulated a rapid growth of new vessels both upon direct implantation and when separated from the vascular bed by a microporous filter. No significant vasoproliferation was seen with dermis, polythene, dialysis membrane, Millipore filter, with epidermis placed on or within sheets of dialysis membrane, or when the epidermis had been inactivated by heat treatment. Epidermal homogenates, Millipore filtrates, and dialysis tenates induced new vessel growth whereas similar preparations from dermis did not. Activity was found to be present in the aqueous but not the organic phase following ethyl acetate extraction and was deactivated by heating or removed by precipitation with trichloroacetic acid. Vasoproliferative activity was not affected by maintenance at 4° C for up to 7 days. These observations are interpreted as evidence for a specific, heat-labile, diffusible but nondialyzable protein "epidermal angiogenic factor."
