Activation of Dll4/Notch Signaling and Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 Alpha Facilitates Lymphangiogenesis in Lacrimal Glands in Dry Eye. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 By using hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha conditional knockout (HIF-1α CKO) mice and a dry eye (DE) mouse model, we aimed to determine the role played by delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4)/Notch signaling and HIF-1α in the lymphangiogenesis of lacrimal glands ...

Lymphangiogenesis and Anti-lymphangiogenesis in Cutaneous Melanoma [PDF]
Anticancer Research, 2016 Cutaneous malignant melanoma is an aggressive tumor characterized by early lymph node metastasis and bad prognosis. Although the spread of tumor cells in the regional lymph nodes is very important in the staging, prognosis and therapeutic strategy of malignant melanoma, the mechanism(s) of initial lymphatic vessels invasion is are) not completely ...

Identification of Gene Expression Differences between Lymphangiogenic and Non-Lymphangiogenic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cell Lines. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 It is well established that lung tumors induce the formation of lymphatic vessels. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling tumor lymphangiogenesis in lung cancer have not been fully delineated. In the present study, we identify a panel of non-small

Reactive Oxygen Species in Regulating Lymphangiogenesis and Lymphatic Function
Cells, 2022 The lymphatic system is pivotal for immunosurveillance and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Lymphangiogenesis, the formation of new lymphatic vessels from pre-existing vessels, has both physiological and pathological roles.

Does plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 drive lymphangiogenesis? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The purpose of this study is to explore the function of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) during pathological lymphangiogenesis. PAI-1, the main physiological inhibitor of plasminogen activators is involved in pathological angiogenesis at least ...

Lymphangiogenesis in gastric cancer: function and mechanism
European Journal of Medical Research, 2023 Increased lymphangiogenesis and lymph node (LN) metastasis are thought to be important steps in cancer metastasis, and are associated with patient's poor prognosis.

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, 2003 While much effort is given to the modelling of tumour angiogenesis, little attention is paid to lymphangiogenesis and its potential role in tumour progression and metastasis. This is due at least in part to the controversy that surrounds tumour lymphangiogenesis—opinion is divided as to whether tumours actively promote the development of lymph channels

PEDF inhibits lymphatic metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma as a new lymphangiogenesis inhibitor
Cell Death and Disease, 2021 Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most malignant tumors in southern China and Asia, and lymph node metastasis is an important cause for treatment failure.

Signaling of Prostaglandin E Receptors, EP3 and EP4 Facilitates Wound Healing and Lymphangiogenesis with Enhanced Recruitment of M2 Macrophages in Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Lymphangiogenesis plays an important role in homeostasis, metabolism, and immunity, and also occurs during wound-healing. Here, we examined the roles of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor (EP) signaling in enhancement of lymphangiogenesis in wound healing ...

Role of Extracellular Vesicles on Cancer Lymphangiogenesis and Lymph Node Metastasis
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Lymph node metastasis (LNM) of tumors is an established indicator of poor prognosis in patients. Tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis is a key step in LNM and has gained much attention. However, currently, there is no anti-tumor lymphangiogenesis drug used
