Pericyte–fibroblast transition promotes tumor growth and metastasis

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016
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.

Pericytes in the eye

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2013
Pericytes in the retina differ from pericytes in many other organs by their high density and their cooperative role in the neurovascular unit. Their diverse ontogeny and the fact that not one pericyte marker identifies the entire population suggest also functional plurality in the retina, including invading cells of mesenchymal origin.

Impaired pericyte recruitment and abnormal retinal angiogenesis as a result of angiopoietin-2 overexpression

open access: yesThrombosis and Haemostasis, 2007
Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) is among the relevant growth factors induced by hypoxia and plays an important role in the initiation of retinal neovascularizations. Ang2 is also involved in incipient diabetic retinopathy, as it may cause pericyte loss.

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.

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 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.

Pericytes in the Heart

2019
Mural cells known as pericytes envelop the endothelial layer of microvessels throughout the body and have been described to have tissue-specific functions. Cardiac pericytes are abundantly found in the heart, but they are relatively understudied.

Pericytes in the Retina

2019
Pericytes (PCs) are specialized cells located abluminal of endothelial cells (ECs) on capillaries, embedded within the same basement membrane. They are essential regulators of vascular development, remodeling, and blood-retina-barrier (BRB) tightness and are therefore important components to maintain tissue homeostasis.

Pericytes in the Lung

2019
The lung has numerous roles, including gas exchange, immune surveillance, and barrier function. Being a highly vascularized organ, the lung receives dual blood supply from both the pulmonary and bronchial circulation. Therefore, pericytes likely play a prominent role in lung physiology given their localization in the perivascular niche.
