Establishment of the functional blood vasculature involves extensive cellular rearrangement controlled by growth factors, chemokines and flow-mediated shear forces. To record these highly dynamic processes in mammalians has been technically demanding. Here we apply confocal and wide field time-lapsein vivomicroscopy to characterize the remodelling vasculature of the wounded mouse cornea. Using mouse lines with constitutive or inducible endogenous fluorescent reporters, in combination with tracer injections and mosaic genetic recombination, we follow processes of sprouting angiogenesis, sprout fusion, vessel expansion and pruningin vivo, at subcellular resolution. We describe the migratory behaviour of endothelial cells of perfused vessels, in relation to blood flow directionality and vessel identity. Live-imaging following intravascular injection of fluorescent tracers, allowed for recording of VEGFA-induced permeability. Altogether, live-imaging of the remodelling vasculature of inflamed corneas of mice carrying endogenous fluorescent reporters and conditional alleles, constitutes a powerful platform for investigation of cellular behaviour and vessel function.
