Figure 2: Prolonged and repeated depletion of macrophages results in adverse systemic effects.
(A) Schematic showing twice a week dosing regimen of AP20187 after postnatal day P5 Achilles tendon injury. (B) AP20187-treated mice were smaller and showed abnormal swelling of tarsal regions at D13 post-injury (red arrows) with (C) impaired weight gain (n=3–5). (D) Schematic showing once a week dosing regimen of AP20187 after postnatal day P5 Achilles tendon injury. (E) AP20187-treated mice also developed abnormal swelling of tarsal regions at D56 post-injury (red arrows) and (F) impaired weight gain at later timepoints (n=3–5). Data reported as mean±stdev and analyzed by 2-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test. ** p<0.01; *** p<0.001 **** p<0.0001.
