Abstract
High inflammatory AIRmax mice homozygous for Slc11a1 R and S alleles were produced. AIRmax
SS
mice showed faster ear tissue regeneration than AIRmax
RR
mice, suggesting that the S allele favored tissue restoration. Here, we investigated the gene expression profiles and the inflammatory reactions of AIRmax
RR
and AIRmax
SS
mice during the initial phase of ear tissue regeneration. We observed superior levels of analysis of wound myeloperoxidase and edema in AIRmax
SS
mice, although similar cell influx was verified in both lines. Of the genes, 794 were up- and 674 down-regulated in AIRmax
RR
, while 735 genes were found to be up- and 1616 down-regulated in AIRmax
SS
mice 48 h after punch. Both mouse lines showed significant over-represented genes related to cell proliferation; however AIRmax
SS
displayed up-regulation of inflammatory response genes. Quantitative PCR experiments showed higher expressions of Tgfb1, Dap12 and Trem1 genes in AIRmax
SS
mice. These results indicate that Slc11a1 gene modulated the early inflammatory events of ear tissue regeneration.
