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:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
