Pathogenic potential of Hic1 expressing cardiac stromal progenitors
2019-02-08
Abstract excerpt
The cardiac stroma contains multipotent mesenchymal progenitors. However, lineage relationships within cardiac stromal cells are still poorly understood. Here, we identify heart-resident PDGFRa + Sca-1 + cells as cardiac Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitors (cFAPs) and show that they respond to ischemic damage by generating fibrogenic cells. Pharmacological blockade of this differentiation step with an anti-fibrotic tyr...
