Angpt1 binding to Tie1 regulates the signaling required for lymphatic vessel development in zebrafish
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Development of the vascular system is regulated by multiple signaling pathways mediated by receptor tyrosine kinases. Among them, angiopoietin (Ang)/Tie signaling regulates lymphatic and blood vessel development in mammals. Of the two Tie receptors, Tie2 is well known as a key mediator of Ang/Tie signaling, but, unexpectedly, recent studies have revealed that the Tie2 locus has been lost in many vertebrate species, whereas the Tie1 gene is more commonly present. However, Tie1-driven signaling pathways, including ligands and cellular functions, are not well understood. Here, we performed comprehensive mutant analyses of angiopoietins and Tie receptors in zebrafish and found that only angpt1 and tie1 mutants show defects in trunk lymphatic vessel development. Among zebrafish angiopoietins, only Angpt1 binds to Tie1 as a ligand. We indirectly monitored Ang1/Tie1 signaling and detected Tie1 activation in sprouting endothelial cells, where Tie1 inhibits nuclear import of EGFP-Foxo1a. Angpt1/Tie1 signaling functions in endothelial cell migration and proliferation, and in lymphatic specification during early lymphangiogenesis, at least in part by modulating Vegfc/Vegfr3 signaling. Thus, we show that Angpt1/Tie1 signaling constitutes an essential signaling pathway for lymphatic development in zebrafish.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
