We have previously reported expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and -C in glomerular podocytes and actions of VEGF-A on glomerular endothelial cells (GEnC) that express VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2).

|
Here we define VEGFR-3 expression in GEnC and investigate the effects of the ligand VEGF-C.
|

|
VEGF-C effects on trans-endothelial electrical resistance and albumin flux across GEnC monolayers were measured.
|

18772335
|
VEGF-C effects on intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) were measured using a fluorescence technique, receptor phosphorylation was examined by immunoprecipitation assays, and phosphorylation of myosin light chain-2 and VE-cadherin was assessed by blotting with phospho-specific antibodies.
|

|
GEnC expressed VEGFR-3 in tissue sections and culture, and VEGF-C increased trans-endothelial electrical resistance in a dose-dependent manner with a maximal effect at 120 minutes of 6.8 Omega whereas VEGF-C156S had no effect.
|
6 |
18772335
|
VEGF-C reduced labeled albumin flux by 32.8%.
|
7 |
18772335
|
VEGF-C and VEGF-A increased [Ca2+]i by 15% and 39%, respectively.
|
8 |
18772335
|
VEGF-C phosphorylated VEGFR-2 but not VEGFR-3, myosin light chain-2, or VE-cadherin.
|

|
These observations suggest that podocytes direct GEnC behavior through both VEGF-C and VEGF-A.
