This Special Topic Issue showcases a collection of primary research and review articles that highlight the diverse roles of lymphatics in disease pathogenesis that could potentially be leveraged to develop novel targeted approaches for therapeutic interventions. The primary research articles in the issue take various approaches to manipulate or target lymphatic vessel growth and function in disease. For example, the study by Michalaki et al.4 describes the therapeutic potential of engineered human mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC), as an autologous cellbased therapeutic treatment, for alleviation of lymphatic dysfunction associated with secondary injury mediated lymphedema. The study by Mahamud et al.5 shows that transcription factor GATA2 promotes blood/lymph separation through platelets and that while lymphovenous valves are the only known sites of interaction between blood and lymphatic vessels, more unidentified sites of interaction possibly exist between blood and lymphatic vessels. Steinskog et al.6 used a rat model mimicking acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with cannulation of efferent lymphatic vessels from the spleen and liver and subsequent proteomic profiling. Their findings revealed a differential response in AMLcell infiltrated spleen and liver, indicating that interstitial fluid and efferent lymph can provide unique information about the specific microenvironment responses that are variable in target organs during AML progression. In the work by Jo et al.,7 the effects of five different components which comprise Goreisan, a traditional herbal formulation (used as a therapeutic in Japan to alleviate lymphedema symptoms), were investigated for their effects on mesenteric lymphatic pumping in rats. They showed that that acute exposure of two components of Goreisan decreased lymphatic pumping in isolated rat mesenteric collecting lymphatics while oral administration of Goreisan induced vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3), in these lymphatic vessels.

Models to study lymphangiogenesis are necessary for a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms and to identify or test new therapeutic agents that target lymphangiogenesis. Across the lymphatic literature, multiple models have been developed to study lymphangiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, lymphangiogenesis can be modeled with varying complexity, from monolayers to hydrogels to explants, with common metrics for characterizing proliferation, migration, and sprouting of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and vessels. In comparison, in vivo models of lymphangiogenesis often use genetically modified zebrafish and mice, with in situ mouse models in the ear, cornea, hind leg, and tail. In vivo metrics, such as activation of LECs, number of new lymphatic vessels, and sprouting, mirror those most used in vitro, with the addition of lymphatic vessel hyperplasia and drainage. The impacts of lymphangiogenesis vary by context of tissue and pathology. Therapeutic targeting of lymphangiogenesis can have paradoxical effects depending on the pathology including lymphedema, cancer, organ transplant, and inflammation. In this review, we describe and compare lymphangiogenic outcomes and metrics between in vitro and in vivo studies, specifically reviewing only those publications in which both testing formats are used. We find that in vitro studies correlate well with in vivo in wound healing and development, but not in the reproductive tract or the complex tumor microenvironment. Considerations for improving in vitro models are to increase complexity with perfusable microfluidic devices, co-cultures with tissue-specific support cells, the inclusion of fluid flow, and pairing in vitro models of differing complexities. We believe that these changes would strengthen the correlation between in vitro and in vivo outcomes, giving more insight into lymphangiogenesis in healthy and pathological states.</p>","PeriodicalId":18459,"journal":{"name":"Microcirculation","volume":"30 2-3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/micc.12802","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9436613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During leukemic development, hepatosplenomegaly is expected to occur because large blood volumes are continuously filtered through these organs. We asked whether infiltration of leukemic blasts initiated a response that could be detected in the interstitial fluid phase of the spleen and liver.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Material and Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>We used a rat model known to mimic human AML in growth characteristics and behavior.
