IL10 and myocardial infarction: To assess the early impact of intramyocardial IL-10 administration in modulating myocardial inflammation, Mφ function, and cardiac remodeling, we investigated the expression of 16 essential genes involved in relevant functional pathways in the infracted mouse hearts treated with 0 (saline control), 250, and 1,000 ng IL-10 at 5 days post-MI.
