Neonatal PLV-LMC progenitor cell pathways. Prior to P10, LMCs derive from a Pax7−/MyoD−/Prrx1+/NG2+ progenitor similar to VSMCs (A). Between P10 and P21, newly incorporating PLV-LMCs diverge from the similar Prrx1+/NG2+ VSMC progenitor pathway and derive from distinct Prrx1+/NG2− progenitors (B). These Prrx1+/NG2− PLV-LMC progenitors likely utilize currently unknown transcriptional switches to specify their incorporation to the PLV (C).
