Lymphatic vessels have been traditionally considered as passive transporters of fluid and lipids. However, it is apparent from recent literature that the function of lymphatic vessels is not only restricted to fluid balance homeostasis but also extends to regulation of immune cell trafficking, antigen presentation, tolerance, and immunity, all which may impact the progression of inflammatory re...
Unraveling the molecular mechanisms of lymphangiogenesis is hampered by the lack of appropriate in vitro models of three-dimensional (3D) lymph vessel growth which can be used to exploit the potential of available transgenic mice. We developed a potent reproducible and quantifiable 3D-culture system of lymphatic endothelial cells, the lymphatic ring assay, bridging the gap between 2D-in vitro a...
At the level of the capillaries, the systemic circulation loses 2 to 4 L fluid and 100 g protein into the interstitium daily. This ultrafiltrate of the systemic capillaries is returned to the circulatory system by the lymphatics. The lymphatic vasculature is highly specialized to perform this service, beginning with the blind-ended lymphatic capillaries. These vessels are highly permeable to pr...
Secondary lymphedema in humans is a common consequence of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) to treat breast cancer. Remarkably, secondary lymphedema generally first appears following a delay of over a year and can be triggered suddenly by an inflammatory insult. However, it remains unclear why the apparently functional lymphatic system is unable to accommodate an inflammatory trigger. To pr...
Abstract Background Our previous studies reveal that impaired draining function of the synovial lymphatic vessel (LV) contributes to pathogenesis inflammatory arthritis, but cellular and molecular mechanisms involved are not fully understood. Objective To investigate involvement muscle cells (LMCs) in mediating LV arthritis. Methods TNF transgenic (TNF-Tg) arthritic mice were used. The structur...

Characterization of lymphatic endothelial cells from the respiratory system may be crucial to investigate the role of the lymphatic system in the normal and diseased lung. We describe a simple and inexpensive method to harvest, isolate, and expand lymphatic endothelial cells from the human lung (HL-LECs). Fifty-five samples of healthy lung selected from patients undergoing lobectomy were studie...
Light and electron microscopy combined with morphometric analysis were used to investigate the distribution, extent and structure of lymphatic vessels in the head, body and tail of the rat pancreas. Serial sections 3-4 microns in thickness were cut from tissue fixed by perfusion. Alternate sections were processed for light microscopy. Intervening sections were left uncovered to be re-embedded a...
