Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Deep vein thrombosis (VT) can result in vein wall injury, which clinically manifests as post-thrombotic syndrome. Postinjury fibrosis may be modulated in part through cellular cysteine-cysteine receptor 7 (CCR7)-mediated events. We tested the hypothesis that late vein wall fibrotic remodeling is dependent on CCR7. APPROACH AND RESULTS: CCR7(-/-) and C57BL/6 wild-type mice had inferior vena cava VT...
