We observed a significant increase of VEGFA ( p = 0.016) and a decreasing trend for KDR ( p = 0.059) in shERCC1 cells compared to NTCs (Fig. 2a ).
We observed a significant increase of VEGFA ( p = 0.016) and a decreasing trend for KDR ( p = 0.059) in shERCC1 cells compared to NTCs (Fig. 2a ).
We observed an increase of Kdr ( p = 0.026), platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta ( Pdgfrb) ( p = 0.030), angiopoietin2 ( Angpt2 ) ( p = 0.001) and a positive trend for Cd31 ( p = 0.075) in EC-KO mice compared to WT (Fig. 4a ) .
The capillary density (area of αSMA-, PDGFRβ+ vessels/total area) in the WM of EC-KO mice showed an increasing trend ( p = 0.088), while overall vascular density and arterial density (area of αSMA+, PDGFRβ+ vessels/total area) did not change between EC-KO in WT in all three brain regions (Fig. 4d , Supplementary Fig. 3c ).
