Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), which is a molecule that widens blood vessels and which is used for several medical purposes, such as treating critical limb ischemia, is a typical leading molecule in angiogenesis studies. Nevertheless, its involvement in vasculogenesis and morphogenesis is a more specific subject in the field of developmental biology and therapeutic research. Vasculogenesis is the embryonic phenomenon in which endothelial progenitor cells generate new blood vessels. This phenomenon is distinct and divergent from angiogenesis, which entails the creation of novel blood vessels extending from pre-existing ones. Morphogenesis is the biological phenomenon responsible for the development of an organism or its components into a specific shape. Embryonic development and tissue regeneration are essential components. Current research is investigating the broader consequences of prostaglandins, such as PGE1, in the fields of developmental biology and regenerative medicine. Gaining knowledge about the impact of PGE1 on morphogenesis could provide valuable insights into congenital vascular abnormalities and innovative approaches for tissue repair and regeneration, especially in limb ischemia. In this study, a histologic and morphogenesis study was carried out on Artemia salina napi (first stage of development) by simulating the angiogenesis and morphogenesis processes using PGE1 as the top molecule with vasoactive properties and a series of benopyridyne (3-aminoquinolines, 5-amino quinolines, 8-aminoquinolines, 8-hydroxyquinolines and quinolines, respectively). A series of 30 Artemia salina napi were exposed to the compound listed before. Also, a lot of 30 unexposed Artemia salina napi was taken into account. In total, 210 Artemia salina napi were studied as a model for angionensis and morphogenesis. The study used wet experiments together with imaging reconstruction and graph-generating methodologies. The results show that PGE1 can initiate the shape of the vessel formation. Also, some quinoline series have a pro-mild morphogenetic and angiogenetic effect. Overall, PGE1 plays a significant role in mediating vasculogenesis and morphogenesis through its vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and pro-proliferative effects on endothelial cells. PGE1 is involved mainly in increasing the length of the vessel, while the number of vascular branching has an all-simulating general impact. However, the molecules with mild vasculogenic effects tend to develop more complex, limited vascular networks, having a more localized role in the angiogenetic process. Overall imaging and graph analysis showed significant and distinct properties of the vascular network-derived graph.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26136316","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]],"date-time":"2025-07-01T06:56:54Z","timestamp":1751353014000},"page":"6316","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Molecular Mediated Angiogenesis and Vasculogenesis Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5416-3142","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudiu N.","family":"Lungu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Functional and Morphological Science, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, 800010 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4632-5076","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ionel I.","family":"Mangalagiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, 11 Carol 1st Bvd, 700506 Iasi, Romania"},{"name":"Institute of Interdisciplinary Research-CERNESIM Centre, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, 11 Carol I, 700506 Iasi, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aurelia","family":"Romila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Clinical Country Emergency Hospital, 810249 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aurel","family":"Nechita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, 35 AI Cuza St., 800010 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9781-1541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mihai V.","family":"Putz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Structural and Computational Physical-Chemistry for Nanosciences and QSAR, Chemistry Department, Faculty of Chemistry, Biology, Geography, West University of Timisoara, Str.
