Endothelial/Pericyte Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2005
Interactions between endothelial cells and mural cells (pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells) in the blood vessel wall have recently come into focus as central processes in the regulation of vascular formation, stabilization, remodeling, and function.

Pericyte physiology

The FASEB Journal, 1993
Endothelial cells are the primary physical barrier between blood and tissue in microvessels. The other capillary and post‐capillary venule wall cell is the pericyte. The literature on the biology of endothelium is appreciable but less is known about pericytes.

Pericyte Secretome

2018
The role of pericytes seems to extend beyond their known function in angiogenesis, fibrosis and wound healing, blood-brain barrier maintenance, and blood flow regulation. More and more data are currently accumulating indicating that pericytes, uniquely positioned at the interface between blood and parenchyma, secrete a large plethora of different ...

Pericytes in Atherosclerosis

2019
Pericytes are pluripotent cells found in the vascular wall of both capillaries and large blood vessels. Pericytes are highly heterogeneous cells in terms of phenotype, tissue distribution, origin and functions, and they play an important role in the regulation of vascular morphogenesis and function.

Cochlear Capillary Pericytes

2019
Capillary pericytes in the cochlea of mammals are-compared to pericytes in other tissues, like the CNS-relatively poorly researched. To begin with, there is still a considerable debate as to whether the very last precapillary arterioles should-due to their contractile properties-may be considered to be pericytes.However, cochlear capillary pericytes ...

Pericytes in Metastasis

2019
Pericytes have long been known to contribute indirectly to tumour growth by regulating angiogenesis. Thus, remodelling tumour blood vessels to maintain blood supply is critical for continued tumour growth. A role for pericytes in restricting leakage of tumour cells through blood vessels has also become evident given that adequate pericyte coverage of ...

Pericyte morphology and function.

Histology and histopathology, 2021
The proper delivery of blood is essential for healthy neuronal function. The anatomical substrate for this precise mechanism is the neurovascular unit, which is formed by neurons, glial cells, endothelia, smooth muscle cells, and pericytes. Based on their particular location on the vessel wall, morphology, and protein expression, pericytes have been ...

Pericyte differentiation.

Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 1995
Pericytes are defined in vivo by their location: They are embedded within the basement membrane of microvessels. They form an integral part of the microvascular wall and are believed to participate in angiogenesis, although their precise role is not clear. Pericytes derived from the retinal microvasculature have been cultured and identified by a series

Diversity Within Pericytes

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 2000
SUMMARY1. Pericytes are cells of microvessels (arterioles, capillaries and venules) that wrap around endothelial cells. They are most abundant on venules and are common on capillaries.2. The pericyte population is highly variable between different tissues and organs, probably in a manner reflecting postarteriolar hydrostatic pressures.

Pericytes and vascular stability

Experimental Cell Research, 2006
Newly formed endothelial tubes are initially unstable and subsequently become stabilized through the formation of a perivascular matrix and the association with pericytes. The presence of pericyte per se is not sufficient for vascular stability. Instead, specific qualities of the cells are required that seem to correlate with marker expression and the ...
