Increase in plasma and cardiac cell expression and production of CXCL10 in human chronic kidney disease. A Heatmap showing mRNA expression fold change from healthy control in iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (CM), human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (EC) and primary ventricular fibroblasts (FB) treated with serum from healthy or CKD donors. Mean of two independent donors. B Heatmap showing protein secretion fold change from healthy control in supernatant of iPSC-CM, EC and FB treated with serum from CKD patients. Mean of two independent donors. C CKD patients or matched healthy controls were recruited and plasma levels of CXCL10 measured by ELISA. CKD patients were split into CKD stage 3, 4 or 5. Each individual donor was tested in triplicate. **** represents P < 0.0001 from healthy controls
