Expression profile of human lymphatic endothelial cells cultured on stiff (25 kPa) or soft (0.2 kPa) matrix conditions in the presence or absence of GATA2

Global transcriptome analysis showed that human lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) grown on a soft matrix exhibit increased GATA2 expression, concomitant with a GATA2-dependent upregulation of genes involved in cell migration and lymphangiogenesis, including the key lymphangiogenic growth factor receptor VEGFR3.
