Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor-3 (VEGFR-3), also known as Fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor 4 (FLT-4), was thought to be expressed exclusively on the lymphatic endothelium, high endothelial venules, and rarely on vascular endothelium. It plays a critical role in the development of lymphatics and cancer metastasis. Very recently, however, VEGFR-3 expression has been identified on dendritic cells (DCs) in the inflamed cornea, and related to the trafficking of these cells to lymphoid organs. The current study was performed to evaluate the expression of VEGFR-3 in the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva and limbus of normal and inflamed murine eyes were excised and stained for VEGFR-3. Immunofluorescence double staining for CD11b, CD11c, CD31, CD45, GR-1, CD3, CD80, LYVE-1 and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen expression, using confocal microscopy, was performed to further phenotype the VEGFR-3+ cells. VEGFR-3 and LYVE-1 expression was observed on lymphatic, but not blood vessel, endothelium. In addition, we also detected expression of VEGFR-3 on non-endothelial CD45+ bone marrow-derived cells in the conjunctiva of normal and, in an increased number, in inflamed eyes. These cells were uniformly CD11b+, CD3-, and ...Continue Reading
