Combined deficiency of Notch1 and Notch3 causes pericyte dysfunction, models CADASIL and results in arteriovenous malformations
13 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
Pericytes regulate vessel stability and pericyte dysfunction contributes to retinopathies, stroke, and cancer. Here we define Notch as a key regulator of pericyte function during angiogenesis. In Notch1(+/-); Notch3(-/-) mice, combined deficiency of Notch1 and Notch3 altered pericyte interaction with the endothelium and reduced pericyte coverage of the retinal vasculature. Notch1 and Notch3 were shown to...
