Therapies aimed at manipulating the microcirculation require the ability to control angiogenesis, defined as the sprouting of new capillaries from existing vessels. In multiple pathologies (cancer, retinopathies, rheumatoid arthritis), blocking angiogenesis would be beneficial. In others (myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension), promoting angiogenesis would be desirable. We know vascular pericytes elongate around endothelial cells and are functionally associated with regulating vessel stabilization, vessel diameter, and endothelial cell proliferation. During angiogenesis, bidirectional pericyte-endothelial cell signaling is critical for capillary sprout formation. Observations of pericytes leading capillary sprouts also implicate their role in endothelial cell guidance. As such, pericytes have recently emerged as a therapeutic target to promote or inhibit angiogenesis. Advancing our basic understanding of pericytes and the ability to develop pericyte-related therapies are challenged, like in many other fields, by questions regarding cell identity. This review article discusses what we know about pericyte phenotypes and the opportunity to advance our understanding of pericytes by defining specific pericyte cell populations involved in capillary sprouting.
