Proteomics analysis can reveal the differences of protein expression between mural cells (known as pericytes) from normal adjacent tissues (NPC) and tumors (TPC), implying the effectiveness of pericyte to tumor.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) consists of specific physical barriers, enzymes and transporters, which together maintain the necessary extracellular environment of the central nervous system (CNS). The main physical barrier is found in the CNS endothelial cell, and depends on continuous complexes of ...

Vascular pericytes, an important cellular component, in the tumor microenvironment, are often associated with tumor vasculatures and their functions in cancer invasion and metastasis are poorly understood. Here we show that PDGF-BB induces pericyte fibroblast transition (designated as PFT), which si...

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is upregulated in most cancers and represents an emerging theranostic target in oncology. In glioblastoma (GBM), FAP is predominantly expressed in mesenchymal pericyte-like cells, which contribute to GBM progression by promoting angiogenesis and glioma cell prolif...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of heart failure cases and is characterised by reduced pericyte coverage. While the contributions of other cardiac cell types to HFpEF are well-studied, the role of pericytes remains less understood. Using murine single-nucleus...

Pericyte loss is an early and critical event in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR), yet the molecular mechanisms underlying pericyte dysfunction remain incompletely understood. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we generated a retinal cellular overview comprising 37,982 cells from diabetic...

Using a hitherto uncharacterized knockout mouse model of Notch 3, a Notch signaling receptor paralogue highly expressed in vascular SMCs, we uncover a striking susceptibility to ischemic stroke upon challenge. Cellular and molecular analyses of vascular SMCs derived from these animals associate Notc...

Anti-PDGF agents are routinely used as a key component in front-line therapy for the treatment of various cancers. However, molecular mechanisms underlying their impact on vascular remodeling in relation to the dose issue remain poorly understood. Here we show that in high PDGF-BB-producing tumors, ...

PI3Kβ-Regulated Pericyte Maturation Governs Vascular Remodeling
The long term goal is to define the transcriptional changes that accompany pericyte-to-myofibroblast transition in fibrotic kidney disease. Medullary pericytes are identified by their expression of a eGFPL10a fusion protein whose expression is driven by a Col1a1 promoter. Pericyte-specific RNA is g...
