Validation of Specific and Reliable Genetic Tools to Identify, Label, and Target Cardiac Pericytes in Mice

Linda Alex et al.

Summary: Pericytes and fibroblasts in the myocardium are distinct populations of cardiac interstitial cells, with different transcriptional signatures. The inducible NG2(CreER) driver is optimal for targeting cardiac pericytes, while the inducible PDGFR beta(CreER) line lacks specificity.

Mapping the cardiac vascular niche in heart failure

Fabian Peisker et al.

Summary: This study investigates the cellular heterogeneity and transcriptomic changes in the cardiac vascular and perivascular niche during heart failure. The researchers identify specific fibroblast and endothelial cell subpopulations that play important roles in cardiac fibrosis and response to injury, respectively. The findings contribute to a better understanding of hypertrophic cardiac remodeling.

Cardiac pericyte reprogramming by MEK inhibition promotes arteriologenesis and angiogenesis of the ischemic heart

Elisa Avolio et al.

Summary: Pericytes in the heart can be pharmacologically modulated to promote neovascularization and repair of ischemic heart. These cells acquire characteristics similar to vascular smooth muscle cells after excluding EGF/bFGF or exposure to PD0325901 inhibitor, becoming more proangiogenic, responsive to vasoactive agents, and insensitive to chemoattractants.

Angiogenesis after acute myocardial infarction

Xuekun Wu et al.

Summary: The translation describes how acute myocardial infarction causes damage to the coronary microcirculation, leading to vascular disintegration and capillary rarefication in the infarct region. Tissue repair after MI involves robust angiogenic response and interactions among various cell types through secreted proteins and receptors. Macrophages and fibroblasts have emerged as major drivers of the angiogenic response after MI, while understanding the mechanism of infarct angiogenesis creates therapeutic opportunities.

Cardiac pericytes function as key vasoactive cells to regulate homeostasis and disease

Linda L. Lee et al.

Summary: The study on cardiac Pericytes (PCs) revealed that at the cellular level, they can increase endothelial barrier integrity, express contractile proteins, are stimulated by adrenergic signaling, and demonstrate stereotypical contraction and relaxation. Additionally, under disease conditions in vitro, PCs exhibit diverse physiological responses, supporting the hypothesis that PCs are key vasoactive cells that can regulate blood flow in the heart.

Collagen denaturation in the infarcted myocardium involves temporally distinct effects of MT1-MMP-dependent proteolysis and mechanical tension

Anis Hanna et al.

Summary: Tissue injury leads to alterations in collagen network, with specific patterns of collagen denaturation observed during different phases of infarct healing. MT1-MMP plays a significant role in pericellular collagen denaturation, while mechanical tension can induce peripheral collagen denaturation. Chronic collagen denaturation may contribute to post-infarction heart failure.

Decoding myofibroblast origins in human kidney fibrosis

Christoph Kuppe et al.

Summary: Using single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers profiled the transcriptomes of healthy and fibrotic human kidneys, identifying distinct subpopulations of pericytes and fibroblasts as the main sources of scar-forming myofibroblasts during kidney fibrosis. This study shed light on the cellular origins and differentiation of myofibroblasts in human kidney fibrosis, identifying potential therapeutic targets such as NKD2.
