From: L-selectin and SDF-1 enhance the migration of mouse and human cardiac mesoangioblasts
Homing of cardiac mesoangioblasts in vivo. (a) Cardiac mesoangioblasts were injected into the LV chamber of mice subjected to coronary artery ligation (CAL) or control mice. After 6, 12 or 24 h, the heart and filter organs were collected and the number of migrated cells was calculated by real-time PCR for GFP. A mean of three independent experiments run in triplicate is shown (*α<0.03). (b) Myocardium free walls of the hearts from 2-month-old WT or CAL mice were homogenized and analyzed for cytokine expression using the mouse multi-cytokine detection system. Concentrations have been normalized to protein load. One out of three experiments is shown (*α<0.025)
