PlGF Regulates Angiopoietin-1 and Tie-2 Expression in Human Retinal Endothelial Cell-Pericyte Cocultures and iPSC-Derived Vascular Organoids through VEGFR1
Abstract:Placental growth factor (PlGF) and Angiopoietin (Ang)-1 are two angiogenic factors that play vital roles in vascular cell growth and stabilization. The present study's objective is to examine PlGF's regulation of Ang-1 and its Tie-2 receptor expression in human vascular cells and vasculature. We exploited the cocultures of human primary retinal endothelial cells (HREC) and pericytes (HRP) and the blood vessel or vascular organoids derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) as experimental models.… Show more
