Abstract

Lymphangiogenesis is considered a promising approach for increasing fluid drainage during secondary lymphedema. However, organization of lymphatics into functional capillaries may be dependent upon interstitial flow (IF). The present study was undertaken to determine the importance of lymphangiogenesis for lymphedema resolution. We created a lymphatic obstruction that produces lymphedema in mouse tail skin. The relatively scar-free skin regeneration that occurred across the obstruction allowed the progression of lymphangiogenesis to be observed and compared with the evolution of lymphedema. The role of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C)/VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-3 signaling in lymphedema resolution was investigated by exogenous administration of VEGF-C or neutralizing antibodies against VEGFR-3. VEGF-C protein improved lymphedema at 15 days [reducing dermal thickness from 742 +/- 105 to 559 +/- 141 microm with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), P < 0.05] without increasing lymphatic capillary coverage (11.6 +/- 6.4% following VEGF-C treatment relative to 9.6 +/- 6.2% with 95% CIs, P > 0.50). Blocking VEGFR-3 signaling did not inhibit lymphedema resolution at 25 days (dermal thickness of 462 +/- 127 microm following VEGFR-3 ...Continue Reading
