Besides lymphangiogenesis, VEGF‐C is also involved in promoting cell survival under stress in many cell types.7, 8, 9, 10 A recent research has proved that VEGF‐C protects heart against ischemia‐reperfusion injury via its antiapoptotic effect.11 In kidney, VEGF‐C was implicated to ameliorate renal interstitial fibrosis in mouse unilateral ureteral obstruction modal through lymphangiogenesis.12 Here, VEGFC is linked to Ureteral obstruction.
