Figure 6. Summarize of the role of IFN-γ in angiotensin II-induced cardiac fibrosis and inflammation.

Figure 6

Hypertension or Ang II induce the infiltration of IFN-γ producing T cells (1); that interact directly with macrophages and release IFN-γ (2); which activates marcrophages and increases the production of MCP-1 (3); which recruits more macrophages to heart (4); then fuels inflammation and fibrosis (5).
