Figure 3. Macrophages are only partially responsible for CSF-1–dependent renal repair.
(A) CD11b-DTR and WT mice were injected with CSF-1 following renal injury. We injected DT to deplete macrophages as indicated in the diagram, and we injected anti–CSF-1R Abs as in the diagram. (B) Tubular pathology (outer medulla) and (E) TEC proliferation were analyzed at days 0, 3, and 5 after I/R. (C) Renal function (albuminuria, BUN), (D) fibrosis (collagen), and (E) tubular apoptosis (caspase-3) were analyzed at day 5 after I/R. Data represent means ± SEM.
