Changes of cell–cell interactions in hypertension. (A) Changes of cell–cell interaction pairs involving growth factors among non-immune vascular cells of SHR-AA and SHR-MA with WKY counterparts as control. (B) Changes of cell–cell interaction pairs involving proinflammatory molecules with non-immune cells as broadcasting cells in SHR-AA with WKY counterparts as control. (C) Changes of cell–cell interaction pairs involving growth factors and proinflammatory molecules with immune cells as broadcasting cells in SHR-AA with WKY counterparts as control. Cells before the underscore contribute to the interaction pair as ligand cells, and cells after are receptor cells. AA, aortic artery; EC, endothelial cell; MA, mesenteric artery; MSC, mesenchymal stromal cell; SHR, spontaneously hypertensive rats; SMC, smooth muscle cell; TGFb, transforming growth factor beta; WKY, Wistar Kyoto.
