Role of Lymphatic Vessels in Tumor Immunity: Passive Conduits or Active Participants? [PDF]

, 2018
Research in lymphatic biology and cancer immunology may soon intersect as emerging evidence implicates the lymphatics in the progression of chronic inflammation and autoimmunity as well as in tumor metastasis and immune escape. Like the blood vasculature,

Lymphangioblasts in Embryonic Lymphangiogenesis

Lymphatic Research and Biology, 2003
The origin of the lymphatic endothelium, either from the venous system or mesenchymal lymphangioblasts, presents as a persistent controversy. Recently, highly specific markers of the lymphatic endothelium have been found, enabling us to reinvestigate the embryonic origin of the lymphatics.The homeobox transcription factor, Prox1, is expressed in ...

Expression and Prognostic Value of VEGF-C and Lymphangeogenesis 
in Lung Adenocarcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2011
Background and objective Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C), a member of the VEGF family, has been proven to be a relatively special VEGF. When binding to its receptor VEGFR-3, it activates lymphangiogenesis, which likely induces lymph node ...

VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 and PDGF-B/PDGFR-b pathways in embryonic lymphangiogenesis [PDF]

, 2008
The circulatory system comprises the blood vascular system and the lymphatic vascular system. These two systems function in parallel. Blood vessels form a closed system that delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removes waste products from the

Tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis in cervical lymph nodes in oral melanoma-bearing mice

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2012
Background Metastasis via the lymphatic system is promoted by lymphangiogenesis. Alterations of the lymphatic channels during the progression of metastasis to regional lymph nodes (LNs) remain unexplored.

Lymphangiogenesis and colorectal cancer

Saudi Medical Journal, 2017
Lymphatic metastasis is an important event in the progress of metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of this article is to assess the role of lymphangiogenesis on CRC. In peritumoral areas of CRC, the lymphatic microvessel density (LMVD) is higher than those in normal colorectal tissues.

Soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 suppresses lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis in bladder cancer

Molecular Cancer, 2011
Background Most bladder cancer patients experience lymphatic metastasis in the course of disease progression, yet the relationship between lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis is not well known.
