Glioblastoma is the most lethal primary brain tumor with glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) atop a cellular hierarchy. GSCs often reside in a perivascular niche, where they receive maintenance cues from endothelial cells, but the role of heterogeneous endothelial cell populations remains unresolved. Here, we show that lymphatic endothelial-like cells (LECs), while previously unrecognized in brain parenchyma, are present in glioblastomas and promote growth of CCR7-positive GSCs through CCL21 secretion.

Lymphatic metastasis represents the main route of tumour cell dissemination in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Yet, there are no FDA-approved therapeutics targeting cancer-related lymphangiogenesis to date. The lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronic acid receptor 1 (LYVE-1), a specific lymphatic marker, is associated with poor survival in OSCC patients.

Typical blood capillaries and vessels in uveal melanoma were shown and different types of uveal melanoma stromal cells were determined by electron microscopy and immunohistochemical analysis. Macrophages, fibroblasts of varying degrees of differentiation and endothelial-like cells with numerous caveolae in the cytoplasm were found in the channels of the extracellular matrix surrounding accumulations of tumor cells. The presence local structures positively stained for markers of the blood and lymphatic vessels (CD31 and podoplanin) in channels of the extracellular matrix suggests that the described endothelial-like cells can be the structural basis for blood and lymphatic vessels of the tumor.

We have previously demonstrated that human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) can be differentiated into lymphatic endothelial like cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of utilizing the induced lymphatic endothelial like cells and decellularized arterial scaffold to construct the tissue-engineered lymphatic vessel. The hADSCs were isolated from adipose tissue in healthy adults and were characterized the multilineage differentiation potential.
