Results: The results have shown that (i) co-opted vessels could be recognized by the presence of metabolically overactive (evaluated as mitochondria expression) and P-gp+ or S100A10+ tumor cells surrounding CD31+ endothelial cells; (ii) vascular co-option occurs in the intratumoral area of meningioma and astrocytoma; and (iii) vascular co-option is prevalent in peritumoral glioblastoma area. Here, PECAM1 is linked to meningioma.
