MicroRNA210 regulated brain pericyte dysfunction exacerbates hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in neonatal mice

open access: yesFluids and Barriers of the CNS
Background While the role of pericytes in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and neuroinflammation is well-established in adult neurological disorders, their contribution to neonatal brain injury is largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the role of

Extracellular matrix remodeling associated with bleomycin-induced lung injury supports pericyte-to-myofibroblast transition

open access: yesMatrix Biology Plus, 2021
Of the many origins of pulmonary myofibroblasts, microvascular pericytes are a known source. Prior literature has established the ability of pericytes to transition into myofibroblasts, but provide limited insight into molecular cues that drive this ...

Charge‐Reversed Lipid Nanoparticles Enable Encapsulation of Pt2L4 Nanocages for In vivo Anti‐Cancer Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Charge‐reversed lipid nanoparticles (revLNPs) enable efficient encapsulation and delivery of cationic Pt2L4 nanocages. Encapsulation preserves potent anticancer activity while improving circulation, reducing vascular leakage, and promoting favorable biodistribution in vivo.

Retinal ischemia induces α-SMA-mediated capillary pericyte contraction coincident with perivascular glycogen depletion

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2019
Increasing evidence indicates that pericytes are vulnerable cells, playing pathophysiological roles in various neurodegenerative processes. Microvascular pericytes contract during cerebral and coronary ischemia and do not relax after re-opening of the ...

NeuroTrace 500/525 identifies human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived brain pericyte-like cells

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2022
In the CNS, pericytes are important for maintaining the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and for controlling blood flow. Recently, several methods were suggested for the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into brain mural cells ...

A U‐shaped Microfluidic Platform for Culturing Vascularized Colorectal Cancer Spheroids Reveals Tumor–Endothelial Crosstalk and Invasion‐Associated Remodeling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A closed U‐shaped microfluidic platform symmetrically embeds a single, size‐controlled HT29 colorectal cancer spheroid within a GFP‐HUVEC‐laden fibrin matrix. HT29 spheroids are associated with hyper‐branched endothelial network remodeling, while vascularized co‐culture is accompanied by anisotropic protrusive growth and EMT‐like marker changes in the ...

Pericytes control vascular stability and auditory spiral ganglion neuron survival

open access: yeseLife, 2023
The inner ear has a rich population of pericytes, a multi-functional mural cell essential for sensory hair cell heath and normal hearing. However, the mechanics of how pericytes contribute to the homeostasis of the auditory vascular-neuronal complex in ...

CD9+ B Cells Induce T Follicular Helper Cell Apoptosis to Regulate Germinal Center Regression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A unique subset of CD9+ B cells regulates germinal center B (GC‐B) cell regression by inducing T follicular helper (Tfh) cell apoptosis through multiple signaling pathways, such as ALCAM‐CD6. FOXP1 plays a key role in GC‐B cell differentiation. These findings clarify mechanisms of GC degeneration and termination and offer potential targets for adenoid ...

Transcriptome analysis reveals microvascular endothelial cell-dependent pericyte differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Microvascular homeostasis is strictly regulated, requiring close interaction between endothelial cells and pericytes. Here, we aimed to improve our understanding of how microvascular crosstalk affects pericytes.

Pericyte-Endothelial Interactions in the Retinal Microvasculature

open access: yes, 2020
Retinal microvasculature is crucial for the visual function of the neural retina. Pericytes and endothelial cells (ECs) are the two main cellular constituents in the retinal microvessels. Formation, maturation, and stabilization of the micro-vasculatures
