Main funding source(s): Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) Introduction Balanced myocardial tissue inflammation following acute myocardial infarction (MI) is needed for optimal cardiac repair. Macrophages contribute to wound healing, but may also be deleterious. Purpose We investigated the impact of macrophage depletion on early cardiac inflammation and later functional outcome in two models of MI with variable transmurality. Methods C57BL/6N mice received clodronate-liposomes for macrophage depletion (n = 49) or control PBS-liposomes (n = 23). After 24h, mice underwent permanent occlusion (PO) or transient ischemia-reperfusion (I/R, 60min) of the left coronary artery or sham surgery. Cardiac inflammation was assessed on MI + 1d, 3d, and 7d by CXCR4-targeted PET/CT using 68Ga-pentixafor. 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) calculated infarct sizes and left ventricular (LV) function at 1wk and 6wks. 18F-NaF PET/CT measured tissue microcalcification at 4wks. Imaging signals were validated by ex vivo autoradiography and immunohistochemistry. Results Clodronate macrophage depletion did not affect infarct size compared to PBS, but perfusion defects at 6wks were significantly larger after PO compared to I/R (%LV, 32 ± 11 vs 14 ± 10, p = 0.01). In both models, infarct CXCR4 expression was higher after macrophage depletion vs PBS at all timepoints (%injected dose (ID)/g; d3: PO: 1.4 ± 0.2 vs 0.9 ± 0.1; I/R: 1.4 ± 0.2 vs 1.0 ± 0.02; p Conclusion Macrophage depletion impairs cardiac repair via several mechanisms including neutrophil-dominated inflammation, LV thrombus formation and tissue calcification. This observation underscores the requirement of macrophages for effective healing and may explain adverse response to broad anti-inflammatory therapy in myocardial ischemia. |
