Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), a severe outcome of cardiovascular disease, poses a serious threat to human health. Uncontrolled inflammation and excessive cardiomyocyte death, following an infarction event, significantly contribute to both the mortality rate and complications associated with MI. The protein IL-4-induced gene 1 (IL4I1 or FIG1) serves as a natural inhibitor of innate and adaptive immunity, playing a crucial role in CD4+ T cell differentiation, macrophage polarization, and ferroptosis inhibition. Previous studies have linked IL4I1 to acute MI. This review summarizes evidence from both basic and clinical research, highlighting IL4I1 as a critical immunoregulatory enzyme that not only regulates inflammatory responses, but also potentially mitigates MI-induced damage.
期刊介绍:
RCM is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal. RCM publishes research articles, review papers and short communications on cardiovascular medicine as well as research on cardiovascular disease. We aim to provide a forum for publishing papers which explore the pathogenesis and promote the progression of cardiac and vascular diseases. We also seek to establish an interdisciplinary platform, focusing on translational issues, to facilitate the advancement of research, clinical treatment and diagnostic procedures. Heart surgery, cardiovascular imaging, risk factors and various clinical cardiac & vascular research will be considered.
