BACKGROUND: Understanding lymphatic fluid uptake requires investigation of the primary valve system located at endothelial cell junctions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression pattern of adhesion molecules at endothelial cell junctions in an adult initial lymphatic network.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Mesenteric tissues from adult male Wistar rats were labeled with antibodies against PECAM-1 and VE-cadherin. Endothelial cells along initial lymphatics and blood microvascular networks expressed both junctional molecules. In contrast to continuous junctional labeling along blood vessels, PECAM and VE-cadherin labeling patterns were discontinuous with gaps along lymphatic endothelial cell junctions. Along larger draining vessels in proximal regions of the initial lymphatic network, the majority of labeling gaps along junctions were less than 1microm. In comparison to draining vessels, terminal lymphatics exhibited a decrease in PECAM staining intensity and a decrease in endothelial cell junctional length defined by positive PECAM and VE-cadherin staining.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that primary valves responsible for unidirectional interstitial fluid uptake along initial lymphatic vessels are associated with discontinuous expression of endothelial junction molecules. This feature may render the ability to separate local membrane regions between neighboring endothelial cells.
