Abstract: Lymphatic endothelial progenitor cell (LEPC) is the origin of lymph-vasculogenesis and lymph-angiogenesis. Lymphatic endothelial cell differentiated from LEPC constructed the framework of the lymphatic network. With the deepening of lymph-angiogenesis and lymph-vasculogenesis research, the role of lymphatic endothelial progenitor cell has attracted more and more attention. How to identify lymphatic endothelial progenitor cell has become one of the research focus. In this paper, the research progress of cell markers on LEPCs was reviewed.

Key words: Lymphatic endothelial progenitor cell, Markers, Molecular mechanism
