MAFB modulates the maturation of lymphatic vascular networks in mice

Abstract: Background: Lymphatic vessels play key roles in tissue fluid homeostasis, immune cell trafficking and in diverse disease settings. Lymphangiogenesis requires lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) differentiation, proliferation, migration, and coordinated network formation, yet the transcriptional regulators underpinning these processes remain to be fully understood. The transcription factor MAFB was recently identified as essential for lymphangiogenesis in zebrafish and in cultured human LECs. MAFB is activated in … Show more

“…This is a developing area of interest to many, results from a recent publication by Hernández Vásquez et al (2021) compared the expression profiles of dermal capillary LECs to collecting vessel LECs in adult mice. This work identified several noteworthy genes of interest, including FOXP2 (discussed later) as a major regulator of collecting vessels morphology, whereas LYVE-1, MAF and CXCL12 were all significantly enriched in lymphatic capillaries, consistent with a more activated/sprouting phenotype ( Rondon-Galeano et al, 2020 ; Hernández Vásquez et al, 2021 ). Furthermore heterogeneity is apparent between lymphatic vessels from different tissue bed, but less is known about the heterogeneity within a specific vessel bed.…”

“…Transcriptomic analysis indicated MAFB is involved in the early induction of SOX18 expression, thus impacting PROX1 production through this signalling pathway ( Dieterich et al, 2015 ). This work was followed up by Rondon-Galeano et al (2020) , using a CRIPSR/Cas9 mouse model, these mice had a perinatal death associated with cyanosis. Upon investigation, dermal lymphatics in these mice had mild and transient delay in development.…”

“…The N‐terminus is only present in the large MAF proteins and contains a transcriptional activation domain inducing MAF target gene transcription by recruiting other transcriptional regulators. The large MAFs have been implicated in a variety of differentiation processes, during development of gonads, hematopoietic and lymphatic systems, hindbrain, pancreatic islets, kidney, and ectoderm 18‐26 …”

“…The etiologic gene of this mutation was later determined to be Mafb , 18 which has since been described extensively in the development of the hindbrain as a controller of rhombomere segmentation and cardiac neural crest cell migration 28,29 . Multiple murine alleles have been generated over the years, including complete loss of function, 24,26 several tissue‐specific deletions, 30,31 overexpression of Mafb , 32 and an allele harboring a human variant 33 . Mafb loss‐of‐function leads to neonatal lethality due to respiratory failure, 22 failure of renal development and macrophage differentiation 22,24 .…”
