Chemokine CCL2 induces apoptosis in cortex following traumatic brain injury.
RatTBIWeight-drop / impact-accelerationSprague-DawleyMaleAssessed 3 days after injury
Model: Local cortical traumatic brain injury induced by Feeney weight-drop
CCL2 and CCR2 mRNA rose for at least 10 days after injury, peaking at day 3, and the CCR2 antagonist RS504393 reduced TUNEL staining and improved Morris water maze performance at 3 days.
