Research Abstract

Podoplanin Fc protein could suppress corneal hem-and lymphangiogenesis. Also, it could suppress vessel maturation in cornea. Podoplanin Fc protein injection into peritoneal cavity suppressed the retinal vessel maturation during post-natal stage.
In migration assay, podoplanin Fc protein and PDGF-BB neutralizing antibody could suppress pericyte migration toward to blood vessel endothelium.
In conclusion, to control podoplanin function could suppress blood vessel maturation and lymphangiogenesis
