Genetic fate mapping confirmed the existence of the TIMD4MHCⅡ macrophage subset and showed that they were resident macrophages with minimal input from peripheral monocytes. Further, single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that could serve as the signature gene for TIMD4MHCⅡ macrophages. Administration of recombinant protein of the gene, RELMα, delayed the onset of heart failure, whereas either deletion of TIMD4MHCⅡ macrophages or macrophage-specific loss of facilitated heart failure progression.
