Prox1 Induces Lymphatic Endothelial Differentiation via Integrin α9 and Other Signaling Cascades
8 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
During embryonic lymphatic development, a homeobox transcription factor Prox1 plays important roles in sprouting and migration of a subpopulation of blood vessel endothelial cells (BECs) toward VEGF-C-expressing cells. However, effects of Prox1 on endothelial cellular behavior remain to be elucidated. Here, we show that Prox1, via induction of integrin alpha9 expression, inhibits sheet formation and stimulates...
