Lymphatic endothelial progenitors bud from the cardinal vein and intersomitic vessels in mammalian embryos.
The lymphatic vasculature preserves tissue fluid balance by absorbing fluid and macromolecules and transporting them to the blood vessels for circulation. The stepwise process leading to the formation of the mammalian lymphatic vasculature starts by the expression of the gene Prox1 in a subpopulation of blood endothelial cells (BECs) on the cardinal vein (CV) at approximately E9.5. These Prox1-...
متن کاملMyeloid Wnt ligands are required for normal development of dermal lymphatic vasculature
Resident tissue myeloid cells play a role in many aspects of physiology including development of the vascular systems. In the blood vasculature, myeloid cells use VEGFC to promote angiogenesis and can use Wnt ligands to control vascular branching and to promote vascular regression. Here we show that myeloid cells also regulate development of the dermal lymphatic vasculature using Wnt ligands. U...
متن کاملHigh tissue glucose alters intersomitic blood vessels in zebrafish via methylglyoxal targeting the VEGF receptor signaling cascade.
Hyperglycemia causes micro- and macrovascular complications in diabetic patients. Elevated glucose concentrations lead to increased formation of the highly reactive dicarbonyl methylglyoxal (MG), yet the early consequences of MG for development of vascular complications in vivo are poorly understood. In this study, zebrafish were used as a model organism to analyze early vascular effects and me...
متن کاملLymphatic fate determination
The mammalian circulation is composed of three distinct vascular networks: arterial , venous and lymphatic. Their distinct identities are established by endothelial cell fate specification that occurs during embryonic development. While arteries and veins form at the early stage of embryonic development, lymphatic vessels are thought to originate from veins 1 at a later time point. In mouse, th...
متن کاملA role for all-trans-retinoic acid in the early steps of lymphatic vasculature development.
The molecular mechanisms that regulate the earliest steps of lymphatic vascular system development are unknown. To identify regulators of lymphatic competence and commitment, we used an in vitro vascular assay with mouse embryonic stem cell-derived embryoid bodies (EBs). We found that incubation with retinoic acid (RA) and, more potently, with RA in combination with cAMP, induced the expression...
