Abstract Endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a leading cause of fibrosis and disease, however its mechanism has yet be elucidated. The endothelium possesses profound regenerative capacity adapt reorganize that attributed population vessel-resident endovascular progenitors (EVP) governing an endothelial hierarchy. Here, using fate analysis, we show two transcription factors SOX9 RBPJ specifically affect the murine EVP numbers regulate lineage specification. Conditional knock-out...

Regenerative capabilities of the endothelium rely on vessel-resident progenitors termed endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs). This study aimed to investigate if these are impacted by conditions (i.e., obesity or atherosclerosis) characterized increased serum levels oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), a known inducer Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EndMT). Our investigation focused understanding effects EndMT self-renewal and associated molecular alterations. In presence...
