Monocyte systemic levels are known to be a major determinant of ischaemic tissue revascularization, but the mechanisms mediating mobilization of different monocyte subsets-Ly6C(hi) and Ly6C(lo)-to the blood and their respective role in post-ischaemic neovascularization are not clearly understood. Here, we hypothesized that distinct chemokine/chemokine receptor pathways, namely CCL2/CCR2, CX3CL1/CX3CR1, and CCL5/CCR5, differentially control monocyte subset systemic levels, and might thus impact post-ischaemic vessel growth.
