TLDR
In this article, the authors describe how the anatomy of the lymphatic network supports leukocyte trafficking and provide updated knowledge regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for lymphatic migration of dendritic cells and T cells.Abstract:
Afferent lymphatic vessels (LVs) mediate the transport of antigen and leukocytes to draining lymph nodes (dLNs), thereby serving as immunologic communication highways between peripheral tissues and LNs. The main cell types migrating via this route are antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) and antigen-experienced T cells. While DC migration is important for maintenance of tolerance and for induction of protective immunity, T cell migration through afferent LVs contributes to immune surveillance. In recent years, great progress has been made in elucidating the mechanisms of lymphatic migration. Specifically, time-lapse imaging has revealed that, upon entry into capillaries, both DCs and T cells are not simply flushed away with the lymph flow, but actively crawl and patrol and even interact with each other in this compartment. Detachment and passive transport to the dLN only takes place once the cells have reached the downstream, contracting collecting vessel segments. In this review, we describe how the anatomy of the lymphatic network supports leukocyte trafficking and provide updated knowledge regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for lymphatic migration of DCs and T cells. In addition, we discuss the relevance of DC and T cell migration through afferent LVs and its presumed implications on immunity.read more

TL;DR: It is found that type-2 conventional DCs in the spleen depend on Gα13 and adhesion G protein–coupled receptor family member-E5 (Adgre5, or CD97) for positioning in blood-exposed locations and Mechanosensing of red blood cells optimizes the antigen capture and presentation functions of splenic cDC2s.

Mechanisms and Clinical Significance of Tumor Lymphatic Invasion.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms, which include tumor-specific as well as normal, developmental and immunological processes hijacked by tumor cells to gain access to the lymphatic system.

Mechanosurveillance: Tiptoeing T Cells
TL;DR: Current understanding of how the plasticity of T- cell microvilli and physicochemical properties of the glycocalyx may affect early events in T-cell activation is reviewed and an update on current efforts to integrate biophysical aspects such as the amplitude and directionality of TCR-imposed mechanical forces and the distribution and lateral mobility of plasma membrane-resident signaling molecules are provided.

Two subsets of memory T lymphocytes with distinct homing potentials and effector functions
TL;DR: It is shown that expression of CCR7, a chemokine receptor that controls homing to secondary lymphoid organs, divides human memory T cells into two functionally distinct subsets, which are named central memory (TCM) and effector memory (TEM).

TL;DR: It is established that S1P1 is essential for lymphocyte recirculation and that it regulates egress from both thymus and peripheral lymphoid organs.

Selective Recruitment of Immature and Mature Dendritic Cells by Distinct Chemokines Expressed in Different Anatomic Sites

TL;DR: The observation that CCR6 mRNA expression decreases progressively as DCs mature, whereas CCR7 mRNA expression is sharply upregulated, provides a likely explanation for the changes in chemokine responsiveness, and suggests a role for MIP-3α/CCR6 in recruitment of immature DCs at site of injury and for Mip-3β/CCr7 in accumulation of antigen-loaded mature DCs in T cell–rich areas.

Prox1 Function Is Required for the Development of the Murine Lymphatic System
TL;DR: It is reported that the homeobox gene Prox1 is expressed in a subpopulation of endothelial cells that by budding and sprouting give rise to the lymphatic system, suggesting that unidentified guidance signals regulate this process.
