Which of Y1-Y5 receptors (Rs) mediate NPY's angiogenic activity was studied using Y2R-null mice and R-specific antagonists. In Y2R-null mice, NPY-induced aortic sprouting and in vivo Matrigel capillary formation were decreased by 50%; Y1R-antagonist blocked the remaining response. NPY-induced sprouting was equally inhibited by Y2R- (and Y5R-but less by Y1R-) antagonists in wild type mice. Spontaneous and NPY-induced revascularization of ischemic gastrocnemius muscles were similarly reduced in Y2R-null mice. Thus, NPY-induced angiogenesis, spontaneous and ischemic, is primarily mediated by Y2Rs. However, Y5Rs and, to a lesser degree Y1Rs, also may play a role in NPY-mediated angiogenesis.
