The Wilms’ tumour suppressor Wt1 is highly expressed in vessels and stromal cells of human tumours, but not in adjacent healthy tissue. Here the authors show that Wt1 regulates Pecam-1 and c-kitand that deletion of Wt1 in endothelial, haematopoietic and myeloid suppressor cells leads to tumour regression.
