Identification of targets of Prox1 during in vitro vascular differentiation from embryonic stem cells: functional roles of HoxD8 in lymphangiogenesis
14 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
During lymphatic development, Prox1 plays central roles in the differentiation of blood vascular endothelial cells (BECs) into lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), and subsequently in the maturation and maintenance of lymphatic vessels. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Prox1 elicits these functions remain to be elucidated. Here, we identified FoxC2 and angiopoietin-2 (Ang2), which play important roles in...
