Abstract
Lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1, or LYVE-1, is a type 1 integral membrane glycoprotein expressed by lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). LYVE-1 is commonly used as a biological marker to visually distinguish developing lymphatic vessels from blood endothelial cells (arteries or veins). As our understanding of lymphatic biology is still lacking today, the need to isolate LECs apart from other endothelial cells has taken on greater importance. The following procedure describes a magnetic bead separation procedure for isolating LEC-rich populations of cells from developing mouse embryos.
Keywords: LYVE-1 (LYVE-1)Background
The lymphatic vasculature forms a secondary circulatory system that functions in draining extracellular fluid from tissue, allows for the transport of lipids, and provides immune cell trafficking and transport function. While our understanding of the lymphatic system has rapidly expanded in the last couple of decades, it is still lacking compared to our knowledge of arterial and venous biology. The identification of LYVE-1 receptor expression by LECs provided a useful tool to distinguish lymphatic tissue but LYVE-1 is known to be expressed in other tissues including liver and spleen sinusoidal cells and pancreatic exocrine and islet of Langerhans cells (Banerji et al., 1999). Encoded by the LYVE1 gene, the biological function of the LYVE-1 receptor has yet to be determined but it has been suggested to participate in tumor metastasis in addition to HA transport across endothelial cells (Jackson, 2003). Despite it being expressed in a variety of tissues, LYVE-1 is still a commonly used marker today to distinguish LECs from other endothelial cells. The goal of this procedure was to isolate LECs from developing mouse embryos with a positive selection approach using dynabeads conjugated to LYVE-1 antibody.
