Interferon-γ-inducible protein (IP)-10/CXCL10, an angiostatic and antifibrotic chemokine with an important role in T cell trafficking, is markedly induced in myocardial infarcts, and may regulate the reparative response. To study the role of IP-10 in cardiac repair and remodeling. We studied cardiac repair in IP-10 null and WT mice undergoing reperfused infarction protocols and examined the effects of IP-10 on cardiac fibroblast function. IP-10 deficient and WT animals had comparable acute infarct size. However, IP-10 absence resulted in a hypercellular early reparative response and delayed contraction of the scar. Infarcted IP-10 −/− hearts exhibited accentuated early dilation, followed by rapid wall thinning during infarct maturation associated with systolic dysfunction. Although IP-10 null and WT mice had comparable cytokine expression, IP-10 absence was associated with marked alterations in the cellular content of the infarct. IP-10 −/− infarcts had more intense infiltration with CD45+ leukocytes, Mac-2+ macrophages and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)+ myofibroblasts than WT infarcts but exhibited reduced recruitment of the subpopulations of leukocytes, T lymphocytes and α-SMA+ cells that expressed CXCR3, the IP-10 receptor. IP-10 did not modulate cardiac fibroblast proliferation and apoptosis, but significantly inhibited basic Fibroblast Growth Factor-induced fibroblast migration. In addition, IP-10 enhanced growth factor-mediated wound contraction in fibroblast-populated collagen lattices. Endogenous IP-10 is an essential inhibitory signal that regulates the cellular composition of the healing infarct and promotes wound contraction, attenuating adverse remodeling. IP-10-mediated actions may be due, at least in part, to direct effects on fibroblast migration and function.
