A Representative bands of CCL28 and ACTB protein in the gastrocnemius of mice subjected to sham or HI surgery at 7 days was measured by Western blot assay (biological replicates, n = 3 per group). B Representative bands of CCL28 and ACTB protein in the hearts of mice subjected to sham or MI surgery at 3 days measured by Western blot assay (biological replicates, n = 3 per group). C Representative bands of CCR10 and ACTB protein in the gastrocnemius of mice subjected to sham or HI surgery at 7 days measured by Western blot assay (biological replicates, n = 3 per group). D Representative bands of CCR10 and ACTB protein in the hearts of mice subjected to sham or MI surgery at 3 days measured by Western blot assay (biological replicates, n = 3 per group). E – H Flow cytometry-based representative dot plots and quantification of CCR10 + CD31 + endothelial cells isolated from the gastrocnemius of mice subjected to sham or HI surgery at 7 days, and the hearts of mice subjected to sham or MI surgery at 3 days (biological replicates, n = 4 per group, Unpaired two-tailed Student’s t -test). I – M the hindlimb ischemia (HI) and myocardial ischemia (MI) were constructed on db/db mice treated with mouse recombinant CCL28 protein (rCCL28, 50 μg/kg, every four days) or vehicle. I – L Representative immunofluorescence images and quantification of vessel numbers in the Vehicle and rCCL28 groups of gastrocnemius 7 days post HI, and hearts 3 days post MI with staining for CD31 (red) and nuclei (blue) (biological replicates, n = 5 per group, Unpaired two-tailed Student’s t -test). Scale bar, 200 μm. M Representative images and quantification of blood flow in mice examined by laser Doppler imaging at specific time points (biological replicates, n = 8 per group, Two-Way ANOVA using Tukey multiple comparisons test). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A Flowchart of study participants. B The serum CCL28 levels were assessed by ELISA assay (biological replicates, the numbers of participants with Rentrop score 0, 1, 2, 3 were 24, 133, 145, and 114, respectively. Kruskal-Wallis test using Dunn multiple comparisons test). In detail, the boxplots depict the distribution of CCL28 levels across four Rentrop classifications (Rentrop 0–Rentrop 3). Each box represents the interquartile range (IQR), with the lower boundary corresponding to the 25th percentile (Q1) and the upper boundary to the 75th percentile (Q3); the median is indicated by a central line. The whiskers extend to the 10th and 90th percentiles, respectively, capturing the central 80% of the data, while the minimum and maximum values within each Rentrop group are explicitly marked to illustrate the full data range. Specifically, for Rentrop0, the median is 499.5 (Q1: 493.25, Q3: 561.5) pg/mL, with whiskers spanning from 447.5 (10th percentile) to 738.5 (90th percentile) pg/mL, and the minimum and maximum values are 408 and 807 pg/mL, respectively; for Rentrop1, the median is 592 (Q1: 545, Q3: 686) pg/mL, with whiskers from 507.8 to 833.2 pg/mL, and the minimum and maximum values are 411 and 1832 pg/mL; for Rentrop2, the median is 611 (Q1: 567, Q3: 746) pg/mL, with whiskers from 534.6 to 1010 pg/mL, and the minimum and maximum values are 514 and 2519 pg/mL; and for Rentrop3, the median is 679.5 (Q1: 576.25, Q3: 826.75) pg/mL, with whiskers from 545.5 to 1162.5 pg/mL, and the minimum and maximum values are 408 and 2230 pg/mL.
