Figure 8. Plt-β2M–/– mice have an early proreparative skewed monocyte response to MI.
(A) Plasma inflammatory protein array. WT mice had a day 3 post-MI increase in proinflammatory plasma proteins, whereas Plt-β2M–/– mice had a greater increase in proreparative plasma proteins. (B) Circulating monocytes were isolated from WT and Plt-β2M–/– mice before and 3 days after MI, and qPCR was performed for Cxcl1 and Il10. Monocytes from Plt-β2M–/– mice had less Cxcl1 and increased Il10 expression after MI compared with WT mice (n = 4, **P < 0.01, 1-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction).
