CXCL3 and Sepsis: In addition, chemokines that contribute to the recruitment of neutrophils, such as keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2α, MIP-2β, and C-X-C motif (CXC) 5 were significantly increased in mice with CLP-induced sepsis receiving PBS, compared with Sham surgery, and the administration of hTSCs resulted in a decreased expression in CLP mice, or to a level not different from Sham mice (Fig. 4b).
