Mechanisms of embryonic coronary artery development: 1. Venous sinus cells must first differentiate into pre-arterial cells before participating in coronary artery formation 2. Prdm6 promotes cardiac neural crest cells to differentiate into pericytes through epithelial-mesenchymal transformation by upregulating the expression level of WNT1. Next, pericytes differentiate into coronary smooth muscle cells under the activation of NOTCH3 signal to participate in coronary artery formation 3. Endocardial cells involved in coronary formation during embryonic development.
