MT1-MMP sheds LYVE-1 on lymphatic endothelial cells and suppresses VEGF-C production to inhibit lymphangiogenesis [PDF]
Lymphangiogensis is involved in various pathological conditions, such as arthritis and cancer metastasis. Although many factors have been identified to stimulate lymphatic vessel growth, little is known about lymphangiogenesis inhibitors.

Lymphatic Endothelial Differentiation in Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Cells [PDF]
Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, low-grade neoplasm affecting almost exclusively women of childbearing age. LAM belongs to the family of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors, characterized by spindle and epithelioid cells with smooth muscle and melanocytic differentiation.

Podoplanin immunopositive lymphatic vessels at the implant interface in a rat model of osteoporotic fractures [PDF]
Insertion of bone substitution materials accelerates healing of osteoporotic fractures. Biodegradable materials are preferred for application in osteoporotic patients to avoid a second surgery for implant replacement. Degraded implant fragments are often

An Adaptor Molecule Afadin Regulates Lymphangiogenesis by Modulating RhoA Activity in the Developing Mouse Embryo. [PDF]
Afadin is an intracellular binding partner of nectins, cell-cell adhesion molecules, and plays important roles in the formation of cell-cell junctions. Afadin-knockout mice show early embryonic lethality, therefore little is known about the function of ...

Lymphatic endothelium stimulates melanoma metastasis and invasion via MMP14-dependent Notch3 and b1-integrin activation [PDF]
Lymphatic invasion and lymph node metastasis correlate with poor clinical outcome in melanoma. However, the mechanisms of lymphatic dissemination in distant metastasis remain incompletely understood.

Intestinal Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Produce R-Spondin3 [PDF]
AbstractThe R-Spondin (R-Spo) family regulates WNT signaling and stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs). R-Spo plays a critical role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis, but endogenous producers of R-Spo in the intestine remain to be investigated.

Slit2/Robo4 signaling modulates HIV-1 gp120-induced lymphatic hyperpermeability. [PDF]
Dissemination of HIV in the host involves transit of the virus and virus-infected cells across the lymphatic endothelium. HIV may alter lymphatic endothelial permeability to foster dissemination, but the mechanism is largely unexplored.

Summary: Exogenous cues involved in the regulation of the initial steps of lymphatic endothelial development remain largely unknown. We have used an in vitro model based on the co-culture of vascular precursors derived from mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC)

Homeobox genes in normal and abnormal vasculogenesis [PDF]
Homeobox containing genes are a family of transcription factors regulating normal development and controlling primary cellular processes (cell identity, cell division and differentiation) recently enriched by the discovery of their interaction with ...

Endothelial cell plasticity: how to become and remain a lymphatic endothelial cell [PDF]
Lineage commitment and differentiation into mature cell types are mostly considered to be unidirectional and irreversible processes. However, recent results have challenged this by showing that terminally differentiated cell types can be reprogrammed into other cell types, an important step towards devising strategies for gene therapy and tissue ...
