| Research Abstract |
An excessive inflammatory response after myocardial infarction (MI) is reported to be associated with cardiac dysfunction and poor clinical outcomes after MI. However, the precise regulatory mechanism to control the inflammatory response has been unclear. The present study demonstrated that bone-marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) have a protective effect against cardiac dysfunction after MI through decreased macrophages and inflammatory monocytes-mediated inflammatory response, extracellular matrix degradation, and cardiac apoptosis.
