Abstract

Bidirectional signalling is regarded as a notable hallmark of the Eph-ephrin signalling system: Eph-dependent forward signalling in Eph-expressing cells and ephrin-dependent reverse signalling in Ephrin-expressing cells. The notion of ephrin-dependent reverse signalling derives from genetic experiments utilizing mice carrying mutations in the intracellular region of ephrinBs. Here we show that EphB4-dependent forward signalling regulates lymphatic valve development, a process previously thought to be regulated by ephrinB2-dependent reverse signalling. We develop antibodies that selectively target EphB4 and ephrinB2. We find that mice bearing genetically altered cytoplasmic region of ephrinB2 have significantly altered EphB4-dependent forward signalling. Selective inhibition of EphB4 using a functional blocking antibody results in defective lymphatic valve development. Furthermore, a chemical genetic approach is used to unequivocally show that the kinase activity of EphB4 is essential for lymphatic valve development.

<abstract>
<p>Bidirectional signalling is regarded as a notable hallmark of the Eph-ephrin signalling system: Eph-dependent forward signalling in Eph-expressing cells and ephrin-dependent reverse signalling in Ephrin-expressing cells. The notion of ephrin-dependent reverse signalling derives from genetic experiments utilizing mice carrying mutations in the intracellular region of ephrinBs. Here we show that EphB4-dependent forward signalling regulates lymphatic valve development, a process previously thought to be regulated by ephrinB2-dependent reverse signalling. We develop antibodies that selectively target EphB4 and ephrinB2. We find that mice bearing genetically altered cytoplasmic region of ephrinB2 have significantly altered EphB4-dependent forward signalling. Selective inhibition of EphB4 using a functional blocking antibody results in defective lymphatic valve development. Furthermore, a chemical genetic approach is used to unequivocally show that the kinase activity of EphB4 is essential for lymphatic valve development.</p>

The bidirectional Eph-ephrin signalling regulates a myriad of developmental programmes. Zhang

. show that EphB4 forward signalling is crucial for lymphatic valve development, providing new insight into this important developmental process previously thought to be regulated by ephrinB2-dependent reverse signalling.</p>
