Lymphatic vessels, a major component of most organs in the body, perform critical roles in organ functions. Their role in disease is poorly understood and rarely studied. This announcement encourages applications for research on lymphatic vessel physiology and pathophysiology related to the health and disease of the digestive system and urinary tract organs, and cardiovascular and pulmonary systems; in resolution of thromboembolic events; and inflammation and immune responses as they relate to these diseases. However, studies with the major focus on immune mechanisms will not be considered responsive. Studies to understand the factors that control lymphatic vessel functional anatomy and physiology during health or disease, and the mechanisms by which alterations of normal lymphatic vessel structure and function affect the systems and processes enumerated above are of interest.
The lymphatic system is a crucial component of nutrient and hormone absorption, fluid homeostasis and immunity. However, the current description of the lymphatics of the kidney and bladder is restricted to gross morphology and virtually nothing is known about the specific function of the lymphatic system in the organs of the urinary tract. In the digestive system, lymphatic vessel function is interwoven with organ function, both anatomically and physiologically and these vessels lie at the nexus of critical hormonal, digestive and immune functions. For example, each villus in the small intestine has a lymphatic vessel, the lacteal, associated with it, that is instrumental in absorption of digested fats. Lymphatic vessels selectively transport certain hormones from enteroendocrine cells, provide a major absorption pathway for some drugs, and are the route of uptake of some nutrients in addition to fats. Lymphatic endothelium mediates passage of immune cells through an array of adhesion molecules and chemokines. Thus, lymphatic vessels potentially play active roles in the relationship of gut health to the microbiome and in inflammatory disease, however the factors that affect these roles, and the resultant effects on the local tissue, are underexplored. Even less is understood about lymphatics in other organs of the digestive system, such as liver. Research in some organs demonstrates that lymphatic vessels have altered numbers and morphologies under conditions of inflammation. Yet, we know very little about the normal micro-anatomy, regulation, and interactions of lymphatics in the digestive system or urinary tract in the context of health and even less in the context of digestive and urinary diseases and inflammation. Similarly, little is understood regarding lymphangiogenesis in digestive system and urinary tract organs. Altered function of the lymphatic vessels has the potential for far-reaching consequences to digestive system and urinary tract function and overall health. For example, loss of lymphatic fluid and plasma protein into the gastrointestinal lumen is associated with inflammatory bowel disease and leads to edema and hypoproteinemia. Edema associated with insufficient lymphatic drainage has been associated with fat deposition in localized areas of the body, yet mechanisms for this effect are unclear.
Whether and how lymphatic drainage affects transplant of digestive and urinary tract organs is also unclear. Furthermore, as a transportation system that intersects with the blood circulatory system, the lymphatic vessels and lymph from the gut and the urinary tract have the potential to affect distant organs (e.g., cardiopulmonary function). Research on lymphatic vessels of digestive and urinary tract organs holds the potential for greater understanding of not only lymphatic system function and local organ function, but whole body health, as well.
On November 3-4, 2009, the NIDDK sponsored an exploratory workshop on Lymphatics and the Digestive System: Physiology, Health and Disease. In addition to reviewing current relevant research, major questions for future research were also identified through participant discussions. This announcement is to stimulate research in response to these needed research areas and important questions in the digestive system and urinary system. Studies on the role of lymphatic vessels in the function of organs of interest to the NIDDK are encouraged.
Specific areas of interests for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) include approaches that will identify the genetic, molecular, and cellular defects that contribute to congenital malformation of the lymphatic system; congenital-lymphatic-malformation-induced pulmonary dysfunction; whether and how lymphangiogenesis affects cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases; whether and how lymphatic drainage affects transplant of heart or lungs; whether and how the lymphatic vessel hyperplasia in the dermal interstitium is involved in salt-sensitive hypertension; and whether and how the manipulation of platelet-lymphatic endothelial cell interaction may provide clinical benefit during thromboembolic events.
Studies that focus on mechanisms of immunity are not appropriate to this announcement. Clinical research and clinical trials are not intended to be supported under this Funding Opportunity Announcement.
Examples of research areas of interest under this program announcement include, but are not limited to the following:
1. What are the mechanisms whereby altered lymphatic vessel structure and function affect organ health and function? Do lymphatic vessels have a role in disease initiation and propagation?
2. Is lymphatic vessel structure and function altered in the presence of inflammation in organs of the digestive system, urinary tract, heart or lungs, and what are the mechanisms involved?
3. Is lymphangiogenesis affected in disease conditions affecting the digestive system, urinary tract organs, the cardiovascular system or the pulmonary system, and what mechanisms are involved?
4. Is lymph composition from digestive and urinary tract organs actively modulated and how?
5. Does lymph composition originating from diseased digestive tract impact cardiopulmonary health?
6. What are the roles of lymph vessel anatomy and cell junctions in sampling of the environment of the mucosa? How does this relate to the microbiome and maintenance of mucosal homeostasis?
7. Is there a relationship between regional drainage of lymph and local accumulation of fat in organs? What are the mechanisms involved and how does this relate to organ function?
8. What are the mechanisms by which impaired lymph pumping or transport affect nutrient transport, hormonal transport and water transport from digestive organs?
9. Are there organ-specific characteristics of vessels of the lymphatic system?
10. What is the interplay of gut microbiome and dietary constituents on the structure and function of lymphatic vessels?
11. How do environmental factors such as diet and dietary constituents change the structure and function of local lymphatic vessels as they relate to the health and disease of digestive system and urinary tract organs?
12. Normal lymphatic vascular development is regulated through the interactions of platelets and lymphatic endothelial cells. Can platelet/endothelial cell interaction be manipulated to regulate lymphangiogenesis, reduce localized swelling, and prevent thromboembolic events?
13. What are lymphatic remodeling pathways in airway inflammatory diseases?
14. Does lymphangiogenesis have a role in atherosclerosis and, if so, through what mechanism(s)?
15. What is the role of the lymphatic system in reverse cholesterol transport?
16. What is the role of lymphatic vessels in the dermal interstitium in salt balance and in salt-sensitive hypertension?
17. What is the role of lymphatic drainage in normal cardiac function and recovery after cardiac injury, such as myocardial infarction?
