Regulation of adipose tissue angiogenesis by multiple factors. A variety of cells in adipose tissues, including preadipocytes, adipocytes, adipose stromal cells, pericytes, and endothelial cells, contribute to the production of multiple angiogenic stimulators and inhibitors that regulate adipose tissue angiogenesis. ADAM, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase; ADAMTS, ADAM with thrombospondin (TSP) motif; ANG, angiopoietin; FGF, fibroblast growth factor; GM-CSF, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor; HGF, hepatocyte growth factor; IL, interleukin; IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor 1; MMP, matrix metalloproteinase; NG2, neuron glial antigen 2; NPY, neuropeptide Y; PDGF, platelet-derived growth factor B; PlGF, placental growth factor; TGFβ, transforming growth factor β; TIMP, tissue inhibitor of MMP; TSP, thrombospondin; TNFα, tumor necrosis factor α; t-PA, tissue-type plasminogen activator; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
