Tissue inflammation induces rapid mobilization of antigen-charged dendritic cells (DCs), which migrate to draining lymph nodes via afferent lymphatics to elicit the immune response. This increase in DC trafficking has been shown to require integrin-dependent adhesion to ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, expressed on inflamed lymphatic endothelium. In addition, both constitutive- and inflammation-induced DC migration involves the chemokine CCL21, which most likely triggers integrin activation on DC via its receptor CCR7. Recently, however, conflicting evidence has suggested that DC entry occurs independently of integrins, implying that the role of CCL21 in lymphatics is purely chemotactic. Hence, while CCL21 is reported to be inducible during inflammation, the details of this induction and the role of CCL21 during initial DC trafficking are unclear. Here, we have characterized both the production of CCL21 and the mechanism of its action in DC transmigration using primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs

Clone REA843 recognizes the mouse CD310 antigen, a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family. This 195 kDa molecule is also known as Flt-4 or VEGFR-3. During early embryogenesis all endothelial cells express CD310, while in the adult tissues CD310 expression disappears from the vascular endothelial cells and is observed only on the lymphatic endothelium. CD310 expression is also induced upon tumor angiogenesis. VEGF-C and VEGF-D are ligands for CD310. Additional information: Clone REA834 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. - USA

Analysis of ex vivo isolated lymphatic endothelial cells from the dermis of patients to define type 2 diabetes-induced changes. Results preveal aberrant dermal lymphangiogenesis and provide insight into its role in the pathogenesis of persistent skin inflammation in type 2 diabetes. The ex vivo dLEC transcriptome reveals a dramatic influence of the T2D environment on multiple molecular and cellular processes, mirroring the phenotypic changes seen in T2D affected skin. The positively and negatively correlated dLEC transcripts directly cohere to prolonged inflammatory periods and reduced infectious resistance of patients´ skin. Further, lymphatic vessels might be involved in tissue remodeling processes during T2D induced skin alterations associated with impaired wound healing and altered dermal architecture. Hence, dermal lymphatic vessels might be directly associated with T2D disease promotion. Overall design: Global gene expression profile of normal dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (ndLECs) compared

The lymphatic vascular system maintains tissue fluid homeostasis, helps mediate afferent immune responses, and promotes cancer metastasis. To address the role microRNAs (miRNAs) play in the development and function of the lymphatic vascular system, we defined the in vitro miRNA expression profiles of primary human lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and blood vascular endothelial cells (BVECs) and identified four BVEC signature and two LEC signature miRNAs. Their vascular lineage-specific expression patterns were confirmed in vivo by quantitative real-time PCR and in situ hybridization. Functional characterization of the BVEC signature miRNA miR-31 identified a novel BVEC-specific posttranscriptional regulatory mechanism that inhibits the expression of lymphatic lineage-specific transcripts in vitro. We demonstrate that suppression of lymphatic differentiation is partially mediated via direct repression of PROX1, a transcription factor that functions as a master regulator of lymphatic ...

The lymphatic endothelial receptor LYVE-1 has been implicated in both uptake of hyaluronan (HA) from tissue matrix and in facilitating transit of leukocytes and tumor cells through lymphatic vessels based largely onin vitrostudies with recombinant receptor in transfected fibroblasts. Curiously, however, LYVE-1 in lymphatic endothelium displays little if any binding to HAin vitro, and this has led to the conclusion that the native receptor is functionally silenced, a feature that is difficult to reconcile with its proposedin vivofunctions. Nonetheless, as we reported recently, LYVE-1 can function as a receptor for HA-encapsulated Group A streptococci and mediate lymphatic dissemination in mice. Here we resolve these paradoxical findings and show that the capacity of LYVE-1 to bind HA is strictly dependent on avidity, demanding appropriate receptor self-association and/or HA multimerization. In particular, we demonstrate the prerequisite of a critical LYVE-1 threshold density and show that HA binding may

Phthiocerol dimycocerosates (PDIM), glycolipids found on the outer surface of virulent members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) complex, are a major contributing factor to the pathogenesis of Mtb. Myelocytic cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, are the primary hosts for Mtb after infection and previous studies have shown multiple roles for PDIM in supporting Mtb in these cells. However, Mtb can infect other cell types. We previously showed that Mtb efficiently replicates in human lymphatic endothelial cells (hLECs) and that the hLEC cytosol acts as a reservoir for Mtb in humans. Here, we examined the role of PDIM in Mtb translocation to the cytosol in hLECs. Analysis of a Mtb mutant unable to produce PDIM showed less co-localisation of bacteria with the membrane damage marker Galectin-8 (Gal8), indicating that PDIM strongly contribute to phagosomal membrane damage. Lack of this Mtb lipid also leads to a reduction in the proportion of Mtb co-localising with markers of macroautophagic

The history of cell culture dates back to 1907 when Ross Harrison discovered that neuronal cells could be cultured in vitro. Two types of cells used within cell culture include primary and established cell lines. Among established cells HEK 293 and 293T cells are among the most widely used in the technique of cell culture. Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are often represented as primary cells, which have been isolated from tissues. Previous studies have characterized 293 and 293T cells as neuronal in origin although phenotypic analyses have not been reported. Similarly, studies dealing with the binding characteristics of HIV have revealed the expression of podoplanin, a typical LEC marker, by 293T cells. Additionally, our lab has observed the expression of podoplanin by 293 cells through flow cytometry analysis. These observations of podoplanin expression suggest that the phenotype of 293 and 293T cells needs to be further explored and that they might resemble LECs. This study outlines the ...

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) has been suggested to regulate lymphocyte entry into lymph nodes because autotaxin (ATX), the enzyme that generates LPA, is constitutively expressed by lymph node high endothelial venules. However very little is known about the effects of LPA on T cell migration and homing. We studied the effects of LPA (16:0 and 18:1, 1-10 µM) on naïve mouse CD4+ T cells. Using chemotaxis assays, we found that LPA induces CD4+ T cell chemorepulsion (1.5±0.5 fold migration away from 1 µM LPA, n=26, p ,0.0001) but not chemotaxis. In addition, we found that LPA increases the quality of naïve CD4+ T cell migration on ICAM-1/CCL21 coated plates as shown by increased track length, displacement, and velocity of cells in the presence of LPA (p,0.001). We next investigated the expression of LPA receptor mRNA on resting and anti-CD3/CD28 activated CD4+ T cells using qRT-PCR. We found that LPA2, LPA5, and LPA6 are highly expressed on naïve CD4+ T cells, and the expression of these ...

Introduction: Mutations in GJC2, which encodes connexin47 (Cx47), are associated with lymphedema. Moreover, Cx47 mRNA was recently found in human lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs).. Hypothesis: Lymphatic endothelial Cx47 has a role in lymphatic physiology and pathology.. Methods: Confocal microscopy and qPCRs were used to assess expression of Cx47. Lymphatic drainage was studied by subcutaneous Evans Blue injections in the footpad of 12 week-old ApoE-/- or Cx47eGFP/eGFPApoE-/- mice. Atherosclerosis was studied in 15 months-old ApoE-/- or Cx47eGFP/eGFPApoE-/-mice.. Results: Cx47 was expressed in lymphangions of mesenteric collecting vessels in Cx47eGFP/eGFPProx1-mOrange2 mice as assessed by microscopy and its expression was confirmed by qPCR on mesentery, gut and skin mRNA of ApoE-/- but not Cx47eGFP/eGFPApoE-/- mice. Interestingly, lymphatic drainage was enhanced in Cx47-deficient mice (n=10/11, p,0.05). To address whether Cx47 affects chronic immuno-inflammatory pathology atherosclerotic ...

Malignant cells first need to transmigrate through the endothelial cell layer of the afferent lymphatic vessels into the lymph vessel lumen and then escape from the vessel lumen and pass through the structural barriers within the lymph nodes to give rise to metastases via the lymphatic system. Similarly, when circulating within the blood, cancer cells need to get out from the vasculature in a suitable environment to be able to form a hematogenic metastasis. These processes are thought to use similar mechanisms as the lymphocytes use in extravasation (20) , although malignant cells may also have their own tissue-specific homing systems (21) . The results of the present study show that the ability of cancer cells to adhere to the lymphatic endothelium in lymph nodes varies. Different binding efficiencies may also have consequences in the metastatic potential of cancer cells in vivo, although binding capacity alone may not be sufficient, and chemokines and their receptors are needed to guide the ...

Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is the most prevalent neoplasm within HIV-infected patients and transplant recipients. Kaposis Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) causes the disease by using a novel mechanism that reprograms endothelial cells making them susceptible targets for viral infection and dissemination. We and others reported that KSHV induces lymphatic differentiation of blood vascular endothelial cells (BECs), by inducing PROX1 up-regulation. Importantly, KSHV G-protein coupled receptor (vGPCR) has been identified as the major viral gene responsible for cellular transformation and disease maintenance. Given that PROX1 is an important mediator of KSHV-induced cell reprogramming, we set out to determine if it had other functional implications in KS pathogenesis. In this study, we report that the regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS)-4 is selectively expressed in BECs and not in LECs, and acts as a cellular agonist against the transformation function of vGPCR. In effect, we found that RGS4 is ...

Synonyms for anterior cardinal vein in Free Thesaurus. Antonyms for anterior cardinal vein. 1 word related to anterior cardinal vein: cardinal vein. What are synonyms for anterior cardinal vein?

The earliest steps in LN development involve the PROX1-dependent metamorphosis of venous ECs to lymphatic ECs at the anterior cardinal vein (Srinivasan et al., 2007). These early LECs form the lymph sac which serves as the primordial tissue for both the LN anlagen and the sprouting lymphatic system (Blum and Pabst, 2006). After these initial steps, mesenchymal LTo and hematopoietic LTi cells are recruited to the LN anlage and the subsequent developmental steps are dependent on the constitutive chemokine receptor ligands CXCL13, CCL19, and CCL21 (Luther et al., 2003). Furthermore, triggering of the CD127/IL-7Rα on LTi cells in concert with constitutive chemokine signals is critical for the formation of LNs and Peyers patches. It has been suggested that LTβR signaling in mesenchymal LTo cells is the critical event that steers the cascading induction of constitutive chemokines and IL-7 (van de Pavert and Mebius, 2010). This particular view has been supported by the finding that the absence of ...

Lymphatic vessels stem from preexisting blood vessels. Elegant lineage tracing by Srinivasan et al. (2007) demonstrated the venous origin of the mammalian lymphatic vasculature as previously proposed (Sabin, 1902; Kaipainen et al., 1995). The venous origin of LECs has been confirmed in Xenopus laevis and zebrafish as shown by real-time imaging in the latter and, therefore, appears to be evolutionary conserved (Ny et al., 2005; Yaniv et al., 2006; Hogan et al., 2009a).. In mice, LECs are first specified in the anterior cardinal vein around embryonic day 9.5 (E9.5) when a subset of venous endothelial cells expresses the transcription factor Prox1 and the lymphatic vessel hyaluronan receptor-1 (LYVE-1) in a polar manner (Fig. 2 B). Prox1−/− mice do not develop any lymphatic structures because of failed budding and sprouting of LECs (Wigle and Oliver, 1999). The transcription factor Sox18 induces Prox1 expression, and Sox18−/− mice develop edema caused by blockage of LEC development in the ...

Lymphatic vessels are crucial components of the immune system and contribute to SLO development. The generation of embryonic lymphatic vessels from preexisting veins in pig embryos was first described in the early 1900s and has recently been molecularly defined (summarized in Ref. 55). At mouse E9, Sox18, a homeobox gene product, is expressed in several cell types including a subpopulation of endothelial cells in the cardinal vein (56). At E9.75 it directly activates Prox1, which is crucial for maintenance of the lymphatic phenotype (57). LYVE-1 is also expressed at this time in those lymphatic-biased polarized endothelial cells. Prox1 induces expression of a variety of genes, including integrin α9 and VEGFR-3, allowing migration toward VEGF-C (58). LYVE-1+Prox1+VEGFR-3+ endothelial cells are committed toward a lymphatic pathway. Their further separation from venous endothelium requires a Syk/Slp-76 signal (summarized in Ref. 55).. Histologic studies in the rat revealed that popliteal and ...

Lymphatic fluid is derived from intercellular fluid that flows into the lymphatics. About two-thirds of lymph is normally derived from the liver and intestines. Small lymph capillaries originate in the tissue and carry fluid away from the tissues. These lymph capillaries, which are in almost all tissues of the body, except the bones, superficial skin, deeper portion of peripheral nerves, the central nervous system, endomysium of muscles. But even these are able to drain through minute pre-lymphatic channels, whose fluid then flows into the lymphatic vessels. The brain is unique in that the pre-lymphatic channels drain into the cerebrospinal fluid and from there directly into the venous system ...

Proper lymphatic function is essential to a variety of important physiologic processes including immune cell trafficking, lipid absorption, and the regulation of fluid balance. However, the experimental difficulties associated with making actual measurements on lymphatics have slowed our understanding of these processes. In vitro experiments on isolated primary lymphatic endothelial cells or lymphatic muscle cells remove the cell from its native biological and mechanical microenvironment, making the interpretation of results challenging. In vivo experiments, on the other hand, often require highly invasive and terminal procedures to access the vessels. In this talk I will describe several experimental platforms we have developed to assist in both of these issues. By culturing cells in microenvironments that more accurately recreate their biophysical and physiologic surroundings, we seek to not only better recapitulate the in vivo state, but to explore how changes in this mechanical environment ...

What we call a disease is our body s reaction to something that interferes with its normal functioning. An organ remains ill, and is eventually destroyed, as long as the source of interference is not removed. A malfunctioning organ can negatively influence other organs and systems (circulatory, nervous, lymphatic) cooperating with it.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the distribution of lymphatic vessels in normal, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) synovium. METHODS: Synovial tissues from 5 normal controls, 14 patients with RA, and 16 patients with OA were studied. Lymphatic vessels were identified by immunohistochemistry using antibodies directed against the lymphatic endothelial hyaluronan receptor (LYVE-1) and recognised blood vessel endothelial markers (factor VIII, CD34, CD31). RESULTS: Lymphatic vessels were found in all zones of the normal, OA, and RA synovial membrane. Few lymphatic vessels were seen in the sublining zone in normal and OA synovium which did not show villous hypertrophy. However, in both RA synovium and OA synovium showing villous hypertrophy and a chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate, numerous lymphatic vessels were seen in all zones of the synovial membrane, including the sublining zone of the superficial subintima. CONCLUSIONS: Lymphatic vessels are present in normal and arthritic synovial tissues

The immune system uses lymphatic vessels to exchange immune cells and soluble mediators with tissues and organs, but the CNS does not contain lymphatic vessels. Or, does it?. Here are a few notable examples that illustrate the current view - or, as we will see, an outdated view - on the presence of lymphatic vessels in the CNS. Lymphatic vessels are not found in CNS tissue, states an article published in 2003 in Nature Review Immunology. According to an article that appeared in the scientific journal Immunological Reviews in 2006: It is an undisputed anatomical fact that the CNS lacks a traditional lymphatic system. A similar statement related to the CNS - the lack of an obvious lymphatic system - is present in an article published in 2010 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Even a very recent (February 2015) article published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, states that the CNS does not have a well-developed lymphatic system.. Interestingly, the review authors do not ...

Kaposi sarcoma is a tumor caused by Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) infection and is thought to originate from lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC). While KSHV establishes latency in virtually all susceptible cell types, LECs support spontaneous expression of oncogenic lytic genes, high viral genome copies, and release of infectious virus. It remains unknown the contribution of spontaneous virus production to the expansion of KSHV-infected tumor cells and the cellular factors that render the lymphatic environment unique to KSHV life cycle. We show here that expansion of the infected cell population, observed in LECs, but not in blood endothelial cells, is dependent on the spontaneous virus production from infected LECs. The drivers of lymphatic endothelium development, SOX18 and PROX1, regulated different steps of the KSHV life cycle. SOX18 enhanced the number of intracellular viral genome copies and bound to the viral origins of replication. Genetic depletion or chemical inhibition of SOX18 ...

Rationale: The emergence of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) appears to be highly regulated during development. While several factors that promote the differentiation of LECs in embryonic development have been identified, those that negatively regulate this process are largely unknown. Objective: To delineate the role of BMP2 signaling on lymphatic development. Methods and Results: BMP2 signaling negatively regulates the formation of LECs. Developing LECs lack any detectable BMP signaling activity in both zebrafish and mouse embryos, and excess BMP2 signaling in zebrafish embryos and mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived embryoid bodies (EBs) substantially decrease the emergence of LECs. Mechanistically, BMP2 signaling induces expression of miR-31 and miR-181a in a SMAD-dependent mechanism, which in turn, result attenuated expression of PROX1 during development. Conclusions: Our data identify BMP2 as a key negative regulator for the emergence of the lymphatic lineage during vertebrate ...

The evolution of immune blockades in tumors limits successful anti-tumor immunity, but the mechanisms underlying this process are not fully understood. Depletion of regulatory T cells (Tregs), a T cell subset that dampens excessive inflammatory and autoreactive responses, can allow activation of tumor-specific T cells. However, cancer immunotherapy studies have demonstrated that a persistent failure of activated lymphocytes to infiltrate tumors remains a fundamental problem. In evaluating this issue, we found that despite an increase in T cell activation and proliferation following Treg depletion there was no significant association with tumor growth rate. In contrast, there was a highly significant association between low tumor growth rate and the extent of T cell infiltration. Further analyses revealed a total concordance between low tumor growth rate, high T cell infiltration and the presence of high endothelial venules (HEV). HEV are blood vessels normally found in secondary lymphoid tissue ...

What are the responsiblities of the lymphatic system?. Our lymphatic system helps with immune function and circulation, carrying lymphatic fluid waste products to the lymph nodes to be broken down and sent out of the body (usually through urine output), while the rest of the protein-rich fluid is sent back into our circulatory system.. Our lymphatic system covers our entire body alongside our circulatory system. The lymph nodes lay in chains along the lymphatic vessels throughout our body. The main areas include the neck, armpits and groin region. Were not born with a set number of lymph nodes, so you can have 25 under one armpit and just five under the other. When our lymph nodes are removed or damaged, they dont regrow and they dont repair themselves. When the transport capacity of the lymphatic system is not functioning at 100 percent, the body will do as much as it can to maintain balance and keep things as normal as possible until it cannot. Thats when the fluid starts to back up in the ...

One of the lymphatic systems major jobs is to collect extra lymph fluid from body tissues and return it to the blood. This is crucial because water, proteins, and other substances are always leaking out of tiny blood capillaries into the surrounding body tissues. If the lymphatic system didnt drain the excess fluid from the tissues, the lymph fluid would build up in the bodys tissues, causing them to swell.. The lymphatic system also helps defend the body against germs (viruses, bacteria, and fungi) that can cause illnesses. Those germs are filtered out in the lymph nodes, which are small masses of tissue located along the network of lymph vessels. The nodes house lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Some of those lymphocytes make antibodies, special proteins that stop infections from spreading by trapping disease-causing germs and destroying them.. The spleen also helps the body fight infection. The spleen contains lymphocytes and another kind of white blood cell (called macrophages) ...

Progressive renal diseases are characterized by tubulointerstitial inflammatory cell recruitment, tubular atrophy and fibrosis. Various aspects of the recruitment of leukocytes have been extensively studied, but the exit routes (i.e. the lymphatic vessels and their biology) have only recently found attention. Similar to the recruitment of inflammatory cells, the exit is coordinated by an orchestrated interaction of chemotactic cytokines and adhesion molecules. During inflammatory injury, new routes are created by the de novo formation of lymphatic vessels, i.e. neolymphangiogenesis. These newly formed lymphatic vessels help to cope with the increase in interstitial fluid related to inflammation. Here, we review some aspects of lymphatic biology and the current knowledge about lymphatic vessels in renal inflammation ...

Methods and results Phenotypic analysis of zebrafish polydom/svep1 mutants showed a decrease in venous and lymphovenous sprouting, which leads to an increased number of intersegmental arteries. A reduced number of primordial lymphatic cells populated the horizontal myoseptum region but failed to migrate dorsally or ventrally, resulting in severe reduction of the lymphatic trunk vasculature. Corresponding mutants in the mouse Polydom/Svep1 gene showed normal egression of Prox-1+ cells from the cardinal vein at E10.5, but at E12.5, the tight association between the cardinal vein and lymphatic endothelial cells at the first lymphovenous contact site was abnormal. Furthermore, mesenteric lymphatic structures at E18.5 failed to undergo remodeling events in mutants and lacked lymphatic valves. In both fish and mouse embryos, the expression of the gene suggests a nonendothelial and noncell autonomous mechanism ...

The flow of fluids along a boundary, such as occurs at the inner lining of vascular tissue, produces shear stress force. Fluid shear forces influence several developmental and pathological processes, including cardiovascular development and atherosclerosis. The lymphatic vascular system is a low-pressure, low-flow system that carries lymph through an intricate network of vessels to the venous system. As primary lymphatic vessels mature into collecting vessels, they develop valves that prevent lymph backflow. Daniel Sweet and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania determined that proper flow of lymph is required to initiate the transcriptional program in lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) that directs lymphatic vessel maturation. The authors took advantage of platelet receptor CLEC2-deficient mice, which have blocked lymph flow as the result of back-flow of venous blood into the lymphatic vascular system. While primary lymphatic plexis development was normal in these animals, the immature ...

Have you ever tried siphoning fluid from one container to another? Put one end of a tube in a bucket of water and place your mouth over the other tube opening. Inhale through your mouth. You are creating a pressure differential between the ends of the tube. As you inhale you are creating a vacuum or lower pressure at the mouth end of the tube in comparison to the now higher pressure at the water end. As the difference in pressure increases, water begins to migrate through the tube, eventually flowing from the bucket out the tube.. The lymphatic system functions on a pressure differential too. There is always a lesser pressure at one end of the lymphatic system (towards the lungs) and a higher one at the other (in the abdomen and extremities). The open end lies extensively through a loose network throughout your cells and tissue. The other end culminates under your collarbone where it flows into your veins and circulatory system. Manually, this pressure differential can be increased by ...

In this case study, researchers led by Dr. Friedemann Kiefer from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Germany used ultramicroscopy and Imaris software to analyze the morphogenetic mechanisms that lead to the first partition of lymphatic endothelial cells from venous endothelium during mammalian fetal development.

The primary structures of the lymphatic and immune systems in the lower extremities are the lymph vessels.

Blood and lymphatic vascular networks interact with all body tissues, and are essential for organ functioning in development, physiology and disease. The inner lining of these networks is formed by a single layer of vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells (ECs). They form a barrier which regulates the traffic of oxygen, metabolites, small molecules, and immune cells into the respective tissue. Despite sharing a mesodermal origin and some common functions, these cells are not all alike. ECs exhibit distinct morphology, molecular and functional properties, depending on the type of vessels or organs they are associated with, thus playing a key role in vascular heterogeneity. Endothelial specialization has been linked to cell-intrinsic developmental pathways and transcriptional programs, as well as to signals from the micro-environment (which include growth factors, mechanical forces, and metabolic stimuli). However, studies on the molecular processes of endothelial (tissue-specific) specialization are
