Activation in M1 but not M2 Macrophages Contributes to Cardiac Remodeling after Myocardial Infarction in Rats: a Critical Role of the Calcium Sensing Receptor/NRLP3 Inflammasome

Aims: Macrophage (MΦ) infiltration during myocardial infarction (MI) amplifies cardiac inflammation and remodeling. We investigated whether activation of the NRLP3 inflammasome by a calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) in MΦ subsets contributes to cardiac remodeling following MI. Methods and Results: Inf...
