Abstract

Plasmalemmal vesicle-associated protein (PLVAP, PV-1) is specifically expressed in endothelial cells in which it localizes to diaphragms of fenestrae, caveolae, and transendothelial channels. To learn about its function, we generated mutant mice that lack PLVAP. In a C57BL/6N genetic background, homozygous Plvap-deficient embryos die before birth and suffer from subcutaneous edema, hemorrhages, and defects in the vascular wall of subcutaneous capillaries. In addition, hearts of Plvap(-/-) embryos show ventricular septal defects and thinner ventricular walls. In wild-type embryos, PLVAP and caveolae with a stomatal diaphragm are present in endothelial cells of subcutaneous capillaries and endocardium, while a diaphragm is missing in caveolae of Plvap(-/-) littermates. Plvap(-/-) mice in a mixed C57BL/6N/FVB-N genetic background are born and survive at the most for 4 weeks. Capillaries of exocrine and endocrine pancreas and of kidney peritubular interstitium were investigated in more detail as examples of fenestrated capillaries. In these vascular beds, Plvap(-/-) mice show a complete absence of diaphragms in fenestrae, caveolae, and transendothelial channels, findings which are associated with a substantial decrease in the number of endothelial fenestrae. The changes in the capillary phenotype correlate with a considerable retardation of postnatal growth and anemia. Plvap(-/-) mice provide an animal model to clarify the specific functional role of endothelial fenestrae and their contribution to passage of water and solutes in different organs.

  • Plvap scored highly in Topic 3 from scRNA-seq of embryonic cells and was also identified in adult and aged snRNA-seq profiles.

    “Moreover, Plvap, which marks diaphragms of fenestrated endothelial cells (Herrnberger et al., 2012), scored highly in Topic 3 from scRNA-seq of embryonic cells (Figure 6A), and was also identified in adult and aged snRNA-seq profiles (Figure S6C).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
