Visceral Obesity and Insulin Resistance Associate with CD36 Deletion in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

Investigators showed that that intestinal lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) have an increasing CD36 expression from lymphatic capillaries to collecting vessels, and that LEC CD36 regulated lymphatic integrity and optimized lipid transport.

In Sickness and in Health: The Immunological Roles of the Lymphatic System

The author details the immune cell subsets in afferent and efferent lymph, and explores the mechanisms by which endothelial cells of the lymphatic system regulate such trafficking, for immune surveillance and tolerance during steady-state conditions, and in response to infection, acute and chronic inflammation, and subsequent resolution.

Transcription Factor FOXP2 Is a Flow-Induced Regulator of Collecting Lymphatic Vessels

Through transcriptional analysis of murine dermal lymphatic endothelial cells, scientists identified Foxp2, a member of the FOXP family of transcription factors implicated in speech development, as a collecting vessel signature gene.

Isolation and Characterisation of Lymphatic Endothelial Cells from Lung Tissues Affected by Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Researchers found that lymphangioleiomyomatosi – affected lung tissues (LAM-LECs) had significantly higher ability of proliferation and migration compared to control LECs.

GPR182 Is an Endothelium-Specific Atypical Chemokine Receptor That Maintains Hematopoietic Stem Cell Homeostasis

In constitutive GPR182-deficient mice, as well as after induced endothelium-specific loss of GPR182, investigators found significant increases in the plasma levels of CXCL10, CXCL12, and CXCL13.

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.
