Phenotype of normal cutaneous microvasculature. Immunoelectron microscopic observations with emphasis on the differences between blood vessels and lymphatics

Abstract

The lymphatic system has been poorly characterized in comparison to the blood vessels. We investigated the expression of microvasculature markers in cutaneous lymphatics and blood microvessels in normal skin. Scrotal skin was chosen because of its high density of both types of microvessels. A pre-embedding peroxidase-conjugated immunoelectron microscopy technique was used, allowing both the visualization of the lymph and blood vessels and their immunohistochemical staining. The markers studied included endothelial antigens (recognized by PAL-E, EN-4, and von Willebrand factor/factor VIII-related antigen), structural molecules of the vascular wall (alpha-smooth muscle actin, heparan sulfate proteoglycan, collagen type IV), and adhesion molecules (endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 [E-selectin], intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1], platelet endothelial adhesion molecule-1 [PECAM-1], vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 [VCAM-1]). It is shown that lymphatics of normal skin are phenotypically different from blood microvasculature, only weakly expressing endothelial markers (EN-4+, von Willebrand factor/factor VIII-related antigen +/-, PAL-E-), mural markers (alpha-smooth muscle actin-, heparan sulfate proteoglycan-, coll...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

CSF & Lymphatic System

This feed focuses on Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) and the lymphatic system. Discover the latest papers using imaging techniques to track CSF outflow into the lymphatic system in animal models.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
