Distinct CD11b+-monocyte subsets accelerate endothelial cell recovery after acute and chronic endothelial cell damage.
Model: Acute carotid endothelial injury in monocyte-depleted CD11b-DTR mice and chronic hypercholesterolaemia-induced endothelial injury in ApoE-/- CD11b-DTR mice
CD11b+ monocytes improved endothelium-dependent vasoreactivity 7 days after acute injury and homed to the injury site, whereas CD11b-negative cells had no effect. In chronic hypercholesterolaemic injury, interferon-gamma stimulated monocytes decreased endothelial function while interleukin-4 stimul…
