Background Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and its major receptor, CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), have been shown to contribute to left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. However, it is unknown whether CCR2 deficiency protects the myocardium after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of CCR2 deficiency on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.Methods and Results Experiments were performed in CCR2(-/-) and wild-type mice subjected to 45 min of ischemia followed by reperfusion. Macrophage infiltration in ischemic lesions was markedly reduced in CCR2(-/-) mice compared with wild-type mice (p
