Liprin (beta)1 is highly expressed in lymphatic vasculature and is important for lymphatic vessel integrity.
The lymphatic vasculature is important for the regulation of tissue fluid homeostasis, immune response, and lipid absorption, and the development of in vitro models should allow for a better understanding of the mechanisms regulating lymphatic vascular growth, repair, and function. Here we report isolation and characterization of lymphatic endothelial cells from human intestine and show that in...
متن کاملLoss of endothelial Tie1 receptor impairs lymphatic vessel development-brief report.
OBJECTIVE Studies of Tie1 gene-targeted embryos have demonstrated loss of blood vessel integrity, but the relevance of Tie1 in lymphatic vasculature development is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that the swelling observed in Tie1 mutant embryos is associated with lymphatic vascular defects. METHODS AND RESULTS We could extend the survival of the Tie1-deficient embryos in the ICR background...
متن کاملEmilin1 deficiency causes structural and functional defects of lymphatic vasculature.
Lymphatic-vasculature function critically depends on extracellular matrix (ECM) and on its connections with lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). However, the composition and the architecture of ECM have not been fully taken into consideration in studying the biology and the pathology of the lymphatic system. EMILIN1, an elastic microfibril-associated protein, is highly expressed by LECs in vitro...
متن کاملAn unexpected role of semaphorin3a-neuropilin-1 signaling in lymphatic vessel maturation and valve formation.
RATIONALE Lymphatic vasculature plays important roles in tissue fluid homeostasis maintenance and in the pathology of human diseases. Yet, the molecular mechanisms that control lymphatic vessel maturation remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVE We analyzed the gene expression profiles of ex vivo isolated lymphatic endothelial cells to identify novel lymphatic vessel expressed genes and we investiga...
متن کاملTransient loss of venous integrity during developmental vascular remodeling leads to red blood cell extravasation and clearance by lymphatic vessels
Maintenance of blood vessel integrity is crucial for vascular homeostasis and is mainly controlled at the level of endothelial cell (EC) junctions. Regulation of endothelial integrity has largely been investigated in the mature quiescent vasculature. Less is known about how integrity is maintained during vascular growth and remodeling involving extensive junctional reorganization. Here, we show...
