Pericyte recruitment during vascular repair. (a–h) Lateral region (90 µm depth) of wholemount SCs with labelled endothelial nuclei (Tg(kdrl:NLS-mCherry)) and pericytes (TgBAC(pdgfrb:citrine)) after sham injury and between 3 and 90 days post-contusion injury. The arrows identify the position of the injury. Asterisks identify cells with low pdgfrb:citrine expression not associated with vessels. Region in (f′) shows a vessel with low levels of kdrl:NLS-mCherry and associated pericytes (in inset, kdrl levels are enhanced relative to the main figure). (i) Total number of pericytes and ECs over time post-injury. Ratio of pericytes to ECs is shown as a dashed blue line (right-side axis). Statistical tests: Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn's multiple comparisons post hoc test relative to uninjured control (i).
