Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) induces differentiation of bone marrow endothelial progenitor cell-derived cell line TR-BME2 into mural cells, and changes the phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Blood vessels are composed of endothelial cells (EC) and mural cells, and the interaction between EC and mural cells is essential for the development and maintenance of the vasculature. EC differentiate from bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC). Recently, we established a conditionally immortalized bone marrow EPC-derived cell line, TR-BME2, and a brain capillary EC (BCEC) line, TR-BBB, from...
