Sox9 and Rbpj Differentially Regulate Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition and Wound Scarring in Murine Endovascular Progenitors

Skin wound analysis from Sox9 conditional knock-out mice demonstrates a significant reduction in pathological EndMT resulting in reduced scar area. The converse was observed with Rbpj conditionally knocked-out from the murine vasculature or inhibition of Notch signaling in human endothelial colony forming cells, resulting in enhanced Sox9 and EndMT related gene
