Figure Lengend Snippet: CCL5 directly regulates macrophage polarization. Mouse peritoneal macrophages (PMφ) and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMφ) were stimulated with 100 ng/ml rmCCL5 for 6 h, and the expression of M1 macrophage markers (iNOS, IL-1β, and TNFα) was detected by qPCR in PMφ (a) and BMMφ (b). PMφ and BMMφ were stimulated with 20 ng/ml IL4 and with or without 100 ng/ml rmCCL5 for 6 h, and the expression of M2 macrophage markers (Arg1, Ym1, and CD206) was detected by qPCR in PMφ (c) and BMMφ (d). PMφ and BMMφ were stimulated with 20 ng/ml IL4 and with or without 100 ng/ml rmCCL5 for 24 h, and the expression of M2 macrophage markers (Arg1, Ym1, and CD206) was detected by western blot analysis in PMφ (e) and BMMφ (f). The data are represented as the mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
Article Snippet: To evaluate the therapeutic potential of CCL5 inhibition, a CCL5-neutralizing antibody (anti-CCL5, AF478, R&D, USA); control IgG (AB-108-C, R&D, USA); or a CCL5 receptor antagonist (Met-CCL5, 335-RM/CF, R&D, USA) were reconstituted in sterile PBS and administered to WT mice (10 μg/injection, i.p) 6 and 24 h after APAP overdose.
