Research Abstract |
We have previously demonstrated that PLC?2 plays an essential role in initiating and maintaining the separation of the blood and lymphatic vasculature. To further investigate the PLC?2-mediated mechanism by which lymphatic vessels are separated from blood vessels, we generated genetically engineered mice expressing PLC?2 in cell type-specific, Cre/loxP-dependent manners. Using the mice, we obtained results suggesting that megakaryocytes might play a central role in the vascular separation.
