In 12.5-day p.c. embryos, the FLT4 signal decorated developing venous and presumptive lymphatic endothelia, but arterial endothelia were negative.

Increased expression occurred in lymphatic sinuses in metastatic lymph nodes and in lymphangioma. The results suggested that FLT4 is a marker for lymphatic vessels and some high endothelial venules in human adult tissues.

<p>By screening a placenta cDNA library with a mouse Flt3 probe, Galland et al. (1992) isolated a human gene encoding a putative receptor-type tyrosine kinase. The deduced amino acid sequence of the intracellular portion of the molecule showed that it was strongly related to FLT1 (165070) and KDR (191306) and to a lesser degree to members of the class III receptor-type tyrosine kinases: FMS (164770), PDGFR (173490, 173410), KIT (164920), and FLT3 (136351). </p>

<p>Galland et al. (1992) mapped FLT4 to chromosome 5q34-q35, telomeric to the FMS and PDGFRB genes, by in situ hybridization. They assigned the mouse homolog to chromosome 11 by the same method. In the process of creating a radiation hybrid map of 18 genes, Warrington et al. (1992) demonstrated that the FLT4 gene is located on distal 5q between GABRA1 (137160) at 5q34-q35 and DRD1 (126449) at 5q35.1. Aprelikova et al.

<strong>Gene Function</strong>

</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Among the factors stimulating angiogenesis, the acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors FGF1 (131220) and FGF2 (134920) and the vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF (192240) exert their effects via specific cell surface receptor tyrosine kinases: for FGF1 and FGF2, FGF receptor-1 (FGFR1; 136350), also known as FLT2, and the endothelial-specific FMS-like tyrosine kinase-1; and for VEGF, the KDR/FLK1 receptor. The protein product of the FLT4 receptor tyrosine kinase cDNA is structurally similar to the FLT1 and KDR/FLK1 receptors (Pajusola et al., 1992), but FLT4 does not bind VEGF (Pajusola et al., 1994). Lee et al. (1996) identified and characterized a vascular endothelial growth factor-related protein (VEGFC; 601528) that specifically binds to the extracellular domain of Flt4 and stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation and mitogenesis of endothelial cells. </p><p>Kaipainen et al. (1995) analyzed the expression of FLT4 by in situ hybridization during mouse embryogenesis and in adult human tissues. The FLT4 mRNA signals first became detectable in the angioblasts of head mesenchyme, the cardinal vein, and extraembryonally in the allantois of 8.5-day postcoitus (p.c.) embryos. In 12.5-day p.c. embryos, the FLT4 signal decorated developing venous and presumptive lymphatic endothelia, but arterial endothelia were negative. During later stages of development, FLT4 mRNA became restricted to vascular plexuses devoid of red cells, representing developing lymphatic vessels. In adult human tissues, only the lymphatic endothelia and some high endothelial venules expressed FLT4 mRNA. Increased expression occurred in lymphatic sinuses in metastatic lymph nodes and in lymphangioma. The results suggested that FLT4 is a marker for lymphatic vessels and some high endothelial venules in human adult tissues. They also supported the theory of the venous origin of lymphatic vessels. </p><p>Vascular endothelial growth factor is a key regulator of blood vessel development in embryos and angiogenesis in adult tissues. Unlike VEGF, the related VEGFC stimulates the growth of lymphatic vessels through its specific lymphatic endothelial receptor VEGFR3. Dumont et al. (1998) showed that targeted inactivation of the VEGFR3 gene in mice resulted in defective blood vessel development in early embryos. Vasculogenesis and angiogenesis occurred, but large vessels became abnormally organized with defective lumens, leading to fluid accumulation in the pericardial cavity and cardiovascular failure at embryonic day 9.5. Thus, VEGFR3 has an essential role in the development of the embryonic cardiovascular system before the emergence of the lymphatic vessels. </p><p>In studies of the mouse cornea in vivo, Cursiefen et al. (2006) demonstrated that the presence of Vegfr3 in the corneal epithelium is critical for suppressing inflammatory corneal angiogenesis, by acting as a decoy receptor and binding the angiogenic growth factors VEGFC and VEGFD (FIGF; 300091). Cursiefen et al. (2006) concluded that VEGFR3, which provides proangiogenic signaling when expressed on endothelium, may also have antiangiogenic properties when expressed at an avascular site by nonendothelial cells. </p><p>In studies in zebrafish to investigate the role of Notch (see 190198) signaling in angiogenesis, Siekmann and Lawson (2007) found that Flt4 is expressed in segmental artery tip cells and becomes ectopically expressed throughout the sprout in the absence of Notch. Loss of Flt4 could partially restore normal endothelial cell number in Rbpsuh (147183)-deficient segmental arteries. Finally, loss of the Notch ligand Dll4 (605185) also led to an increased number of endothelial cells within segmental arteries. Siekmann and Lawson (2007) concluded that their studies taken together indicated that proper specification of cell identity, position, and behavior in a developing blood vessel sprout is required for normal angiogenesis, and implicated the Notch signaling pathway in this process. </p><p>Tammela et al. (2008) demonstrated that VEGFR3 is highly expressed in angiogenic sprouts, and that genetic targeting of VEGFR3 or blocking of VEGFR3 signaling with monoclonal antibodies results in decreased sprouting, vascular density, vessel branching, and endothelial cell proliferation in mouse angiogenesis models. Stimulation of VEGFR3 augmented VEGF-induced angiogenesis and sustained angiogenesis even in the presence of VEGFR2 (191306) inhibitors, whereas antibodies against VEGFR3 and VEGFR2 in combination resulted in additive inhibition of angiogenesis and tumor growth. Furthermore, genetic or pharmacologic disruption of the Notch signaling pathway led to widespread endothelial VEGFR3 expression and excessive sprouting, which was inhibited by blocking VEGFR3 signals. Tammela et al. (2008) concluded that their results implicated VEGFR3 as a regulator of vascular network formation. The authors suggested that targeting VEGFR3 may provide additional efficacy for antiangiogenic therapies, especially towards vessels that are resistant to VEGF or VEGFR2 inhibitors. </p><p>Wang et al. (2010) demonstrated with genetic experiments in mouse and zebrafish that ephrin-B2 (EFNB2; 600527), a transmembrane ligand for Ephrin receptor tyrosine kinases, promotes sprouting behavior and motility in the angiogenic endothelium. Wang et al. (2010) linked this proangiogenic function to a crucial role of ephrin-B2 in the VEGF signaling pathway, which they studied in detail for VEGFR3, the receptor for VEGF-C. In the absence of ephrin-B2, the internalization of VEGFR3 in cultured cells and mutant mice is defective, which compromises downstream signal transduction by the small GTPase Rac1 (602048), Akt (164730), and the mitogen-activated protein kinase Erk (601795). Wang et al. (2010) concluded that VEGFR3 signaling is coupled to receptor internalization. Ephrin-B2 is a key regulator of this process and thereby controls angiogenic and lymphangiogenic growth. </p><p>Benedito et al. (2012) used inducible loss-of-function genetics in combination with inhibitors in vivo to demonstrate that DLL4 (605185) protein expression in retinal tip cells is only weakly modulated by VEGFR2 (191306) signaling. Surprisingly, Notch (190198) inhibition also had no significant impact on VEGFR2 expression and induced deregulated endothelial sprouting and proliferation even in the absence of VEGFR2, which is the most important VEGFA (192240) receptor and is considered to be indispensable for these processes. By contrast, VEGFR3, the main receptor for VEGFC (601528), was strongly modulated by Notch. VEGFR3 kinase activity inhibitors but not ligand-blocking antibodies suppressed the sprouting of endothelial cells that had low Notch signaling activity. Benedito et al. (2012) concluded that their results established that VEGFR2 and VEGFR3 are regulated in a highly differential manner by Notch. They proposed that successful antiangiogenic targeting of these receptors and their ligands will strongly depend on the status of endothelial Notch signaling. </p><p>By screening immunity-related proteins and their receptors for bacteria- or LPS-induced expression, Zhang et al. (2014) detected upregulation of VEGFR3 and VEGFC in macrophages. Serum VEGFC was also increased in patient and mouse models of septic shock. Ligation of VEGFR3 by VEGFC attenuated proinflammatory cytokine production. In the absence of either the ligand-binding domain or tyrosine kinase activity of Vegfr3, mice became more sensitive to septic shock. Vegfr3 restrained Tlr4 (603030)-NFKB (see 164011) activation by regulating the PI3K (see 601232)-Akt signaling pathway and Socs1 (603597) expression. Zhang et al. (2014) proposed that in addition to targeting lymphatic vessels, VEGFR3 signaling via VEGFC prevents microphagic overreaction to infections complicated by lymphedema. </p><p>Lorenz et al. (2018) used the developing liver as a model organ to study angiocrine signals and showed that the growth rate of the liver correlates both spatially and temporally with blood perfusion to this organ. By manipulating blood flow through the liver vasculature, Lorenz et al. (2018) demonstrated that vessel perfusion activates beta-1 integrin (135630) and VEGFR3. Notably, both beta-1 integrin and VEGFR3 are strictly required for normal production of hepatocyte growth factor, survival of hepatocytes, and liver growth. Ex vivo perfusion of adult mouse liver and in vitro mechanical stretching of human hepatic endothelial cells illustrated that mechanotransduction alone is sufficient to turn on angiocrine signals. When the endothelial cells are mechanically stretched, angiocrine signals trigger in vitro proliferation and survival of primary human hepatocytes. Lorenz et al. (2018) concluded that their findings uncovered a signaling pathway in vascular endothelial cells that translates blood perfusion and mechanotransduction into organ growth and maintenance. </p>

<p><strong><em>Lymphatic Malformation 1</em></strong></p><p>
In affected members of a family with lymphatic malformation-1 (LMPHM1; 153100), Ferrell et al. (1998) identified a mutation in the FLT4 gene (136352.0005). </p><p>Karkkainen et al. (2000) identified mutations at the FLT4 locus in several families with hereditary lymphedema. They found that all disease-associated alleles analyzed had missense mutations and encoded proteins with an inactive tyrosine kinase, preventing downstream gene activation. These studies established that vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 is important for normal lymphatic vascular function. </p><p>In a family with hereditary lymphedema, Irrthum et al. (2000) identified a mutation in the FLT4 gene (136352.0006) that cosegregated with the disease. In vitro expression showed that this mutation inhibited the autophosphorylation of the receptor. </p><p>Evans et al. (2003) identified 8 different heterozygous mutations in the FLT4 gene (see, e.g., 136352.0011) in affected members of 12 different Caucasian families with hereditary lymphedema. All the mutations occurred in the tyrosine kinase domains. Several families showed incomplete penetrance of the phenotype. </p><p>Kim and Dumont (2003) reviewed molecular mechanisms in lymphangiogenesis and their implications for human disease. In addition to VEGFR3 and FOXC2 (602402), 6 'lymphangiogenic markers' were reviewed. The role of some of these lymphangiogenetic mechanisms in cancer and metastasis was also reviewed. </p><p>Ghalamkarpour et al. (2006) identified mutations in the FLT4 gene (see, e.g., 136352.0008-136352.0009) in affected members from 3 unrelated families with autosomal dominant lymphedema and in a sporadic case. </p><p>In 14 affected and 2 unaffected members of a 3-generation consanguineous Israeli family of Muslim Arab origin with hereditary lymphedema, Spiegel et al. (2006) identified heterozygosity for a missense mutation in the VEGFR3 gene (136352.0010). </p><p>Connell et al. (2009) identified mutations in the FLT4 gene, including 14 novel mutations, in 22 (42%) of 52 patients with primary lymphedema. Mutation prevalence was 75% in patients with a typical Milroy phenotype and a positive family history, and 68% if positive family history was not a diagnostic criterion. No mutations were found outside the kinase domains, showing that analysis of nonkinase domains of FLT4 is not useful for Milroy disease patients. No mutations were identified in the VEGFC gene (601528), which encodes the FLT4 ligand. </p><p>In a Hispanic female with congenital lymphedema who was born of first-cousin parents, Ghalamkarpour et al. (2009) identified homozygosity for a missense mutation in the ATP-binding domain of the FLT4 gene (136352.0012). Her unaffected parents were heterozygous for the hypomorphic mutation, which was not found in 110 controls. </p><p><strong><em>Congenital Heart Defects, Multiple Types, 7</em></strong></p><p>
In a cohort of 2,871 probands with congenital heart disease, comprising 2,645 parent-offspring trios and 226 singletons, Jin et al. (2017) performed whole-exome sequencing and identified 10 probands who were heterozygous for frameshift or nonsense mutations in the FLT4 gene. In 2 probands the mutations appeared to have arisen de novo and in 2 probands the mutations were inherited from an affected parent; however, in 6 probands, the mutation was inherited from an unaffected parent. Cardiac diagnoses in affected individuals included tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary stenosis or atresia, absent pulmonary valve, right aortic arch, double aortic arch, and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. The authors stated that FLT4 mutation carriers had no extracardiac malformations (unspecified), but elsewhere in the text stated that 1 proband had an extracardiac congenital anomaly. </p><p>Reuter et al. (2019) sequenced 175 adult patients with tetralogy of Fallot and 56 with other congenital cardiac anomalies for loss-of-function and deleterious mutations in FLT4 and other VEGF pathway genes. They identified 9 (5.1%) probands with novel FLT4 variants, all of whom came from the group of individuals with tetralogy of Fallot. Seven of the variants were predicted to have a loss-of-function effect, implicating haploinsufficiency, and comprised 2 stopgain, 3 frameshift, 1 splice site, and 1 multiexon deletion mutation; the other 2 mutations, a missense and an in-frame deletion, were predicted to be deleterious. In addition to variants in FLT4, multiple variants were also identified in the KDR (191306) gene. </p>

<strong>Animal Model</strong>

</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>The Chy mouse mutant, characterized by accumulation of chylous ascites and swelling of the limbs, was obtained by ethylnitrosourea-induced mutagenesis (Lyon and Glenister (1984, 1986)). The phenotype is linked to mouse chromosome 11. Karkkainen et al. (2001) sequenced the Vegfr3 candidate gene on chromosome 11 in Chy mice and found a heterozygous 3157A-T mutation resulting in an ile1053-to-phe (I1053F) substitution in the tyrosine kinase domain. This mutation was located in a highly conserved catalytic domain of the receptor, in close proximity to the VEGFR3 mutations in human primary lymphedema. The I1053F mutant receptor was tyrosine kinase inactive. Although lymphedema patients with heterozygous missense mutations of VEGFR3 retain some receptor activity because of the presence of the wildtype allele (Karkkainen et al., 2000), the mutant VEGFR3 can be classified as a dominant-negative receptor similar to certain mutant KIT receptors in piebaldism (172800) and RET receptors (164761) in Hirschsprung disease (142623). Karkkainen et al. (2001) found that neuropilin-2 (NRP2; 602070) bound VEGFC and was expressed in the visceral, but not in the cutaneous, lymphatic endothelia. This may explain why hypoplastic cutaneous, but not visceral, lymphatic vessels were found in the Chy mice. Using virus-mediated VEGFC gene therapy, Karkkainen et al. (2001) generated functional lymphatic vessels in the lymphedema mice. The results suggested that growth factor gene therapy is applicable to human lymphedema as well and provided a paradigm for other diseases associated with mutant receptors, i.e., ligand therapy. </p>

To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified
our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely
accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators
review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90%
of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD
science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a
donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important
component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the
information that you need at your fingertips.
