VEGFR1 for lymphangiogenesis: an alternative signaling pathway?
The lymphatic vascular system is a conduit for interstitial fluid extravasated from blood vessels and also plays important roles in maintaining immune responses, lipid uptake, and tissue homeostasis. In recent years, much attention has been given to lymphangiogenesis, a formation of new lymphatic vessels, because lymphangiogenesis has been shown to be involved in lymph node metastasis of tumors.1
متن کاملVEGFR1 tyrosine kinase signaling promotes lymphangiogenesis as well as angiogenesis indirectly via macrophage recruitment.
OBJECTIVE Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis are complex phenomena that involve the interplay of several growth factors and receptors. Recently, we have demonstrated that in Keratin-14 (K14) promoter-driven Vegf-A transgenic (Tg) mice, not only angiogenesis but also lymphangiogenesis is stimulated. However, the mechanism by which VEGFR1 is involved in lymphangiogenesis remains unclear. METHOD...
متن کاملA VEGFR1 antagonistic peptide inhibits tumor growth and metastasis through VEGFR1-PI3K-AKT signaling pathway inhibition.
Angiogenesis is central to the growth of cancers and VEGFR-1/Flt-1 plays an important role during the neovascularization under pathological conditions. We previously founded a VEGFR1 antagonistic peptide, F56, by screening the phage peptide library. We showed that DHFR-F56 chimeric protein displayed anti-tumor activity and inhibited angiogenesis, however the anti-tumor activity of monomeric F56...
متن کاملLymphangiogenesis and Anti-lymphangiogenesis in Cutaneous Melanoma.
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 understood. In the present review, we analyze th...
متن کاملEditorial Lymphangiogenesis
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...
