Representation of cardiac remodeling with the aid of gene expression of relevant markers such as elastin 7 days (A) and 30 days (E) after permanent ligation. Expression of collagen III 7 days (B) and 30 days (F) after permanent ligation. In (B) collagen III-expression was significantly increased in wild-type mice compared to CX3CR1-KO mice, which shows early remodeling in wild type mice, but no statistically relevant difference in functional outcome, (C) represents increased monocyte-expression (F4/80) in CCR2-KO-mice compared to CX3CR1-KO mice and to MCP-1-KO mice 7 days, (G) shows monocyte-expression 30 days after MI. In (D) an increased TNF-alpha gene expression was seen in CCR2-KO mice compared to CX3CR1-KO mice, (H) represents TNF-alpha gene expression 30 days after MI.
