The SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein disrupts human cardiac pericytes function through CD147-receptor-mediated signalling: a potential non-infective mechanism of COVID-19 microvascular disease

E. Avolio, M. Carrabba, R. Milligan, M. Kavanagh Williamson, A. P. Beltrami, K. Gupta, K. T. Elvers, M. Gamez, R. Foster, K. Gillespie, F. Hamilton, D. Arnold, I. Berger, M. Caputo, A. D. Davidson, , P. Madeddu

This paper shows that SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein causes cardiac pericyte dysfunction through CD147-mediated signaling, without infecting the cells.

Contractile reprogramming of cardiac pericytes by MEK inhibition promotes arteriologenesis of the ischemic heart

E. Avolio, R. Katare, A. C. Thomas, A. Caporali, D. Schwenke, M. Meloni, M. Caputo, P. Madeddu

This study shows that MEK inhibition reprograms cardiac pericytes into contractile cells, promoting arteriologenesis in ischemic hearts.

Human saphenous vein provides a unique source of anti-calcific pericytes for prosthetic cardiac valve engineering

E. Jover, M. Fagnano, W. Cathery, S. Slater, E. Pisanu, Y. Gu, E. Avolio, D. Bruno, D. Baz-Lopez, A. Faulkner, M. Carrabba, P. Madeddu

This study identifies human adventitial pericytes from saphenous vein as anti-calcific cells for prosthetic cardiac valve engineering, showing resistance to osteochondrogenic induction via miR-132 regulation.
