Matrix Stiffness Primes Lymphatic Tube Formation Directed by Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-C

Using synthetic hyaluronic acid hydrogels as a chemically and mechanically tunable system to preserve lymphatic endothelial cell phenotypes, scientists demonstrated that low matrix elasticity primed lymphatic cord‐like structure formation directed by a high concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C).

Semaphorin3E-PlexinD1 Signaling in Coronary Artery and Lymphatic Vessel Development with Clinical Implications in Myocardial Recovery

Investigators revealed that the epicardium and pericardium-derived Semaphorin 3E and its receptor, PlexinD1, played a role in the development of the coronary stem, as well as cardiac lymphatic vessels.

SUMOylation Promotes Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Transmission of lncRNA ELNAT1 and Lymph Node Metastasis in Bladder Cancer

The authors identified that bladder cancer (BCa) cell-secreted extracellular vesicles mediated the intercellular communication with human lymphatic endothelial cells through the transmission of a long noncoding RNA ELNAT1, and promoted lymphangiogenesis and LN metastasis in a SUMOylation-dependent manner in both cultured BCa cell lines and mouse models.

HIF-1α Promotes Cellular Growth in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Exposed to Chronically Elevated Pulmonary Lymph Flow

The authors investigated molecular mechanisms that altered the growth and metabolism of isolated lymphatic endothelial cells exposed to prolonged pathologically elevated lymph flow in vivo within the anatomic and physiologic context of a large animal model of congenital heart disease with increased pulmonary blood flow using in vitro approaches.

A New Reporter Zebrafish Line Unveils Heterogeneity among Lymphatic Endothelial Cells during Development

The authors established a novel zebrafish transgenic line expressing eGFP under the control of part of the zebrafish Basic Leucine Zipper ATF‐Like Transcription Factor 3 (batf3) promoter. Spatiotemporal examination of Tg(batf3MIN:eGFP) transgenic fish revealed a typical lymphatic expression pattern, which does not perfectly recapitulate the expression pattern of existing lymphatic endothelial cell transgenic lines.

Lymphoangiocrine Signals Promote Cardiac Growth and Repair

Culturing primary mouse cardiomyocytes in lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC)-conditioned medium increased cardiomyocyte proliferation and survival, indicating that LECs produce lymphoangiocrine signals that control cardiomyocyte homeostasis.

Metabolomics Revealed the Influence of Breast Cancer on Lymphatic Endothelial Cell Metabolism, Metabolic Crosstalk, and Lymphangiogenic Signaling in Co-Culture

The authors analyzed metabolites inside lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in co-culture with MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and SK-BR-3 breast cancer cell lines using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics, Seahorse, and the spatial distribution of metabolic co-enzymes using optical redox ratio imaging to describe breast cancer-LEC metabolic crosstalk.
