Abstract

Significance: PIEZOs are mechanically activated cation channels. Recently, loss-of-function mutations of human PIEZO1 were found among patients with familial lymphedema, suggesting a requirement of PIEZO1 in the lymphatic system. In this paper, utilizing mouse models lacking PIEZO1 in endothelial cells, we show that this ion channel is required for the formation of lymphatic valves, a key structure for proper circulation of lymph in the body. The requirement of PIEZO1 in valve formation provides mechanistic insight on how PIEZO1 variants cause lymphatic dysfunction in patients. This study also extends the relevance of PIEZOs beyond acute signaling molecules (e.g., touch sensation) and highlights the importance of these ion channels in controlling morphological/structural specification during development.

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.
