Cultured murine LECs express VDR.To check lymphatic origin of mouse LECs, we used three different well-established markers expressed by LECs. (a) Lymphatic origin of murine LECs was confirmed by IHC for Prox-1, VEGFR3 and Podoplanin (400x). Scale bar: 50 μm. (b) VDR expression of in vitro grown murine LECs was evaluated by western blot. Murine renal tubular epithelial cells (MTCs) served as positive control. (c) VDR expression of murine LECs was assessed by immunofluorescence (antibody D6) staining (200x). Scale bar: 50 μm.
