Bimodal Expansion of the Lymphatic Vessels Is Regulated by the Sequential Expression of IL-7 and Lymphotoxin α1β2 in Newly Formed Tertiary Lymphoid Structures
Lymphangiogenesis associated with tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) has been reported in numerous studies. However, the kinetics and dynamic changes occurring to the lymphatic vascular network during TLS development have not been studied. Using a viral-induced, resolving model of TLS formation in the salivary glands of adult mice we demonstrate that the expansion of the lymphatic vascular netwo...
متن کاملTNF-α drives remodeling of blood vessels and lymphatics in sustained airway inflammation in mice
Inflammation is associated with blood vessel and lymphatic vessel proliferation and remodeling. The microvasculature of the mouse trachea provides an ideal opportunity to study this process, as Mycoplasma pulmonis infection of mouse airways induces widespread and sustained vessel remodeling, including enlargement of capillaries into venules and lymphangiogenesis. Although the mediators responsi...
متن کاملVEGFR1 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 کاملRoles of prostaglandin E2-EP3/EP4 receptor signaling in the enhancement of lymphangiogenesis during fibroblast growth factor-2-induced granulation formation.
OBJECTIVE One of the hallmarks of inflammation is lymphangiogesis that drains the interstitial fluids. During chronic inflammation, angiogenesis is induced by a variety of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins (PGs). However, it remains unknown whether they enhance lymphangiogenesis. We examined the roles of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and PGE2 receptor signaling in enhancement of lymphan...
متن کاملLinking the microbiota and metabolic disease with lymphotoxin.
The field of lymphotoxin biology has seen many advances in the past decade. Notably, a role for lymphotoxin as a key effector cytokine has emerged to add to its foundational contribution to lymphoid organogenesis. It is now clear that lymphotoxin contributes to host defense for a wide variety of pathogens, and the lymphotoxin receptor is a defining feature of and regulatory mechanism in both in...
