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.

Cancer-Secreted Exosomal miR-1468-5p Promotes Tumor Immune Escape via the Immunosuppressive Reprogramming of Lymphatic Vessels

Scientists report a mechanistic model via which cervical cancer-secreted, exosome-encapsulated miR-1468-5p promoted lymphatic PD-L1 upregulation and lymphangiogenesis to impair T cell immunity.

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.

Pyruvate Kinase M2 Mediates the Glycolysis in the Lymphatic Endothelial Cells and Its Potential Relation to the Progression of Lymphatic Malformations

The glycolysis index, including glucose uptake, ATP and lactate production stayed at a relatively high level in human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs) compared with HUVECS, while inhibition of PKM2 by shikinon or PKM2 knockdown could significantly suppress glycolysis, migration, tubular formation, and invasion of HDLECs.

Tumor Exposed-Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Promote Primary Tumor Growth via IL6

Investigators revealed a new mechanism by which tumor exposed-lymphatic endothelial cells (teLEC) exert mitogenic effects on tumor cells. Their conclusions were supported by morphological and molecular changes induced in teLEC that in turn enhance cancer cell invasion in 3D cultures and tumor cell proliferation in vivo.
