Steffes Keywords: Pericytes; TLR-4; Acute respiratory distress syndrome; Co-culture; Permeability; Capillary leak Abstract: Pericytes (PCs) have a synergistic relationship with endothelial cells (MVEC) in regulating capillary permeability. PCs express Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4). We hypothesize one mechanism of MVEC/PC co-culture permeability is regulated through lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activation of pericyte TLR-4.
