Ivabradine Reduces Chemokine-Induced CD4-Positive Lymphocyte Migration

Figure 5

Ivabradine abolishes SDF-1-induced ICAM3 translocation. CD4-positive lymphocytes were pretreated with ivabradine (0.01, 0.05, or 0.1 μmol/L) before stimulation with SDF-1 for 30 min. ICAM3 translocation was assayed using immunofluorescence staining. ICAM3 translocation at the uropod of migrating cells is indicated by the arrow. Lower panel shows statistical analysis of cells positive for ICAM3 translocation as % of DAPI-positive cells; bars represent mean ± SD; 𝑛 = 6 ; * 𝑃 < . 0 1 compared to SDF-1-stimulated cells.
