    Bio X Cell mouse antibodies against ccl2
    Figure 1. Exposure to high altitude results in PH and increased secretion of inflammatory classical monocyte ligands from the lungs. (A) Schematic showing hypoxia exposure time course in wildtype mice. Duration of hypoxia exposure is directly proportional to (B) RVSP and RV hypertrophy as measured by Fulton Index (N=6-13/group). At 3 days of hypoxia, increased protein expression of classical monocyte ligands (C) <t>CCL2</t> (N=6-11/group) and (D) CCL12 (N=6- 11/group), whereas significantly lower levels of nonclassical monocyte ligand (E) CX3CL1 (N=6/group) in the lungs. (F) Higher CCL2 gradient in lungs and in the (G) peripheral blood of wildtype mice following 3 days of hypoxia exposure (N=5/group). Data in all panels were obtained from female mice. Statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA, followed by Tukey's post hoc test. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ****P<0.0001. N=number of animals, mean±SD, CI=confidence interval.

    Cytokine-activated endothelial cells upregulate expression of selectins and integrin ligands and secrete chemokines. Selectin-selectin ligand interactions help capture cells and allow them to roll along the endothelium. For pathogenic-like type 17 cells, endothelial cell-bound chemokines can then stimulate CCR6, CCR5, and CXCR3 to activate integrins for binding to intercellular adhesion molecules and mediate firm arrest. Secreted chemokines that fail to adhere to endothelial cells, such as CCL2 and other CCR2 ligands, are removed by blood flow to create a transendothelial gradient that drives TEM. Although for the sake of clarity the T cell depicted here co-expresses the four chemokine receptors, not all CCR6 +(high) CCR2 + CD4 + T cells express CCR5 and/or CXCR3.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4: Genetic and pharmacologic blockade of CCR2-CCL2 axis protects from hypoxic PH. (A) Schematic showing the BM reconstitution of Ccr2-/- and WT BM into lethally irradiated wildtype mice. Wildtype mice reconstituted with Ccr2-/- BM were protected from hypoxic PH by attenuated (B) RVSP (N=7-11/group) and (C) RV hypertrophy (N=7-11/group) as measured by Fulton Index, compared to wildtype mice that were reconstituted with wildtype BM. (D) Schematic showing pharmacological blockade of CCR2 ligands CCL2 or CCL7 using anti-CCL2 or anti-CCL7 neutralizing antibody treatment. Hypoxia exposed wildtype mice treated with CCL2 NAb but not CCL7 NAb showed lower (E) RVSP (N=6/group) and (F) RV hypertrophy (N=6/group). TSP-1 levels in (G) lungs (N=6/group) and (H) blood (N=6/group); and TGF-β1 levels in (I) lungs (N=6/group) and (J) blood (N=6/group) compared to wildtype mice treated with isotype control antibody. Data in all panels followed a normal distribution. ANOVA with the Tukey test was performed for multiple comparisons. Data were obtained from the female mice. mean ± SD

    Figure 5: Resident IMs are a major source of CCL2 and recruited IMs are a major source of pathologic TSP-1 in hypoxic PH. (A) Flow cytometry analysis using Ccl2RFP-flox reporter mice showed a higher number of CCL2+ IMs (N=14/group; N=14/group, 9F and 5M in Nx; 8F and 6M in Hx), and (B) FOLR2+ IMs are a major source of CCL2 (N=14/group). (C) Hypoxia exposed wildtype mice following intracellular CCL2 staining by flow cytometry also showed a higher number of CCL2+ IMs (N=7/group, female mice). (D). IM subpopulation analysis using flow

    Figure 8: DEX prophylaxis blunts CCL2 production by resident IMs and blocks the recruitment of TSP-1 producing CCR2+ IMs in hypoxia. (A) DEX prophylactically-treated, hypoxia-exposed Ccl2RFP-flox reporter mice exhibited a significant reduction in CCL2+ IMs, particularly in (B) CCL2RFP+ resident IMs (N=7/group). Additionally, (C) intracellular CCL2 flow cytometry analysis in DEX prophylactically-treated hypoxia-exposed wildtype mice revealed a
