Background Arteriogenesis serves as an efficient mechanism for flow restoration after arterial occlusion. This process is associated with inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-{alpha} (TNF-{alpha}), although their role in arteriogenesis remains unclear. We hypothesized that arteriogenesis is reduced in mice lacking functional TNF-{alpha} or p55 receptor. To test this hypothesis, we developed a novel microsphere-based murine model of hindlimb perfusion measurement.

Methods and Results Unilateral femoral arteries of nude (n=9), TNF-{alpha}-/- (n=9), TNF-{alpha} receptor p55-/- (n=8), and p75-/- (n=8) mice as well as their appropriate genetic background controls were occluded. The nude mice underwent laser Doppler hindlimb flux measurements preoperatively, postoperatively, and after 7 days. Seven days after ligation, all animals underwent tissue perfusion determinations using fluorescent microspheres. Laser Doppler findings confirmed acute decrease in flux with falsely normal values after 1 week. Microsphere results from control mice showed perfusion restoration to values {approx}50% of normal within 7 days. TNF-{alpha}-/- mice demonstrated a significant reduction (45.1%) in collateral artery perfusion compared with controls (TNF-{alpha}-/- 22.4±5.1% versus B6x129 49.7±9.3%; P<0.01). p55-/- mice exhibited an almost identical 45.8% reduction in collateral artery formation (p55-/- 28.3±4.3% versus C57BL/6J 61.8±9.1%; P<0.01), whereas p75-/- mice were equivalent to controls (p75-/- 54.5±5.5%; P=0.13).

Conclusions Microsphere techniques in mice offer a tool for the molecular dissection of arteriogenesis mechanisms. These results suggest that TNF-{alpha} positively modulates arteriogenesis probably via signaling through its p55 receptor.
