Cells with BLEC molecular markers are present within the mouse leptomeninges. a Coronal brain section of adult zebrafish brain indicating the imaging area in the dorsal optic tectum (TeO). b A 14 month old Tg(kdr-l:mCherry); Tg(flt4:mCitrine) double transgenic zebrafish has cells in the meninges (white bracket) that express flt4/vegfr3 ( alpha-GFP, green) near kdr-l positive ( alpha-RFP, red) blood vessels. DAPI (blue) labels the nuclei. Scale = 50 µm. c Coronal mouse brain section showing the imaging areas of the meninges. d As revealed by IHC, 17-week-old mouse brains express VEGFR3 (green) in the meninges (white bracket). Tie2-GFP;NG2-DsRed double reporter mice were used to distinguish arteries and veins. NG2 (red) labels pericytes and smooth muscle cells, Tie2 (magenta) labels vascular endothelial cells, and Hoechst (blue) stains nuclei. The image is rotated with the parenchyma at the bottom for ease of comparison with panel b. Scale = 50 µm. e-e′′′ As revealed by IHC, cells of the meninges co-express MRC1 (e, yellow), LYVE1 (e′, white), and VEGFR3 (e′′, green). Red arrows highlight cells expressing these three markers. The images are rotated with the parenchyma at the bottom. scale = 30 µm. f, g Quantification of the relative numbers of single and double-labelled cells in 2-month old mouse meninges. VEGFR3 and LYVE1 cell counts were from n = 2 brains, 3 coronal sections (10 area images)/brain. MRC1 and LYVE1 cell counts were from n = 3 brains, 3 coronal sections (4 area images)/brain.

Background: VEGFR3/Flt-4

VEGFR3 (Flt-4), together with VEGFR1 (Flt-1) and VEGFR2 (KDR/Flk-1), belong to the class III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). All three receptors contain seven immunoglobulin-like repeats in their extracellular domains and kinase insert domains in their intracellular regions. The expression of these receptors is almost exclusively restricted to the endothelial cells. These receptors are likely to play essential roles in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.

In adults, VEGFR3 expression is restricted to the endothelial cells of the lymphatic vessels. Mouse VEGFR3 cDNA encodes a 1363 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 24 aa residue signal peptide. Mature VEGFR3 has a 751 aa residue extracellular domain, a 22 aa residue hydrophobic transmembrane domain and a 565 aa residue cytoplasmic domain. The polypeptide sequences of murine Flt-4 is 88% identical to the human homologue. VEGFR3 has been reported to serve as the receptors for VEGF-C and VEGF-D.
