BMP-9 balances endothelial cell fate.
The lymphatic system regulates tissue fluid homeostasis and acts as a conduit for leukocytes. Under high hydrostatic pressure, the blood system delivers oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to distant cells, while acellular fluid is forced out of blood capillaries into interstitial space. Most of this fluid drains back into lymphatic capillaries that are under low pressure and leaky due to their uni...

Collecting lymphatic ducts contain intraluminal valves that prevent backflow. In mice, lymphatic valve morphogenesis begins at embryonic day 15.5 (E15.5). In the mesentery, Prox1 expression is high in valve-forming lymphatic endothelial cells, whereas cells of the lymphatic ducts express lower levels of Prox1. Integrin α9, fibronectin EIIIA, Foxc2, calcineurin and the gap junction protein Cx37 ...
متن کاملIdentification of targets of Prox1 during in vitro vascular differentiation from embryonic stem cells: functional roles of HoxD8 in lymphangiogenesis.
During lymphatic development, Prox1 plays central roles in the differentiation of blood vascular endothelial cells (BECs) into lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), and subsequently in the maturation and maintenance of lymphatic vessels. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Prox1 elicits these functions remain to be elucidated. Here, we identified FoxC2 and angiopoietin-2 (Ang2), which play...
متن کاملLymphatic regulator PROX1 determines Schlemm's canal integrity and identity.
Schlemm's canal (SC) is a specialized vascular structure in the eye that functions to drain aqueous humor from the intraocular chamber into systemic circulation. Dysfunction of SC has been proposed to underlie increased aqueous humor outflow (AHO) resistance, which leads to elevated ocular pressure, a factor for glaucoma development in humans. Here, using lymphatic and blood vasculature reporte...
متن کاملKaposin-B Enhances the PROX1 mRNA Stability during Lymphatic Reprogramming of Vascular Endothelial Cells by Kaposi's Sarcoma Herpes Virus
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common cancer among HIV-positive patients. Histogenetic origin of KS has long been elusive due to a mixed expression of both blood and lymphatic endothelial markers in KS tumor cells. However, we and others discovered that Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus (KSHV) induces lymphatic reprogramming of blood vascular endothelial cells by upregulating PROX1, which functi...
