Depletion of Lysozyme M positive cells leads to faster thrombus resolution in IVC ligated mice. (A) Scheme of experimental setup. US, ultrasound. Red boxes, DTX high dose. Grey boxes, DTX low dose. Each box represents 1day. (B) Sizes determined by high frequency ultrasound calculated as percentage at day 1 after subtotal ligation, of thrombi in LysM and LysMiDTR group at indicated time points after subtotal ligation. Mean ± SEM; two-way ANOVA/Bonferroni post hoc test; n = 8; *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01. (C) Flow cytometric analysis of cell count of CD45+ cells/mg thrombus and neutrophils and monocytes displayed as percentage of CD45+ cells (day 2 post subtotal ligation) in thrombus tissue of LysMiDTR mice compared to LysM controls. (D) mRNA expression levels of ccl-2, il-4 and il-10 in thrombus material. Mean ± SEM; t-test; n = 5–8; *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001. HFUS, high frequency ultrasound.
