| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Lymphangiogenesis occurs in binding to VEGFR3 mainly expressed in lymphatic vessels of their ligand,VEGF-C or VEGF-D. It has been reported that macrophages and skeletal muscle is source of VEGF-C,-D production. In the present study, we examined wheather M-CSF induce the VECF-C,-D production. VEGF-C, D production induced from mouse macrophages was not observed by administration M-CSF. But in skeletal muscle, diaphragm, and myocardium, we confirmed that the expression levels of VEGF-C,-D were significantly higher.
