Abstract
The angiopoietin (ANGPT)-TIE2/TEK signaling pathway is essential for blood and lymphatic vascular homeostasis. ANGPT1 is a potent TIE2 activator, whereas ANGPT2 functions as a context-dependent agonist/antagonist. In disease, ANGPT2-mediated inhibition of TIE2 in blood vessels is linked to vascular leak, inflammation, and metastasis. Using conditional knockout studies in mice, we show TIE2 is predominantly activated by ANGPT1 in the cardiovascular system and by ANGPT2 in the lymphatic vasculature. Mechanisms underlying opposing actions of ANGPT2 in blood vs. lymphatic endothelium are poorly understood. Here we show the endothelial-specific phosphatase VEPTP (vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase) determines TIE2 response to ANGPT2. VEPTP is absent from lymphatic endothelium in mouse in vivo, permitting ANGPT2/TIE2-mediated lymphangiogenesis. Inhibition of VEPTP converts ANGPT2 into a potent TIE2 activator in blood endothelium. Our data support a model whereby VEPTP functions as a rheostat to modulate ANGPT2 ligand effect on TIE2.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
