Diurnal changes in the numbers of circulating MSCs, EPCs, and VSELs in mice after inhibition of ATP release in a pannexin 1-dependent manner or after exposure to MCC950, a specific inhibitor of the Nlrp3 inflammasome. The highest number of stem cells circulating in PB was observed in mice at ZT5 (11 AM). The numbers of these cells were regulated in a pannexin 1- and Nlrp3 inflammasome-dependent manner. Data are pooled from two independent experiments (n = 6 mice each). *p ≤ 0.05. All parameters studied in this work were measured at predefined ZT points only
