Sox18 Genetically Interacts With VegfC to Regulate Lymphangiogenesis in Zebrafish
22 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Lymphangiogenesis is regulated by transcription factors and by growth factor pathways, but their interplay has not been extensively studied so far. We addressed this issue in zebrafish. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Mutations in the transcription factor-coding gene SOX18 and in VEGFR3 cause lymphedema, and the VEGFR3/Flt4 ligand VEGFC plays an evolutionarily conserved role in lymphangiogenesis. Here, we report...
