Key result
Administration of rmMFG-E8 improved ventricular remodeling and cardiac function after MI by suppressing M1 and promoting M2 macrophage polarization via inhibition of CaMKII-dependent signaling.
Why the study?
The role of CaMKII on macrophage polarization after myocardial infarction was unknown, prompting investigation into MFG-E8's modulation of cardiac M1/M2 polarization and CaMKII signaling.
Population
Human ventricular tissue/blood from MI and controls, C57BL/6 mice, and RAW264.7 macrophages
Comparison
WT-sham vs sham-MFG-E8-KO vs WT-PBS vs rmMFG-E8 vs MFG-E8-KO
Design
Randomized preclinical animal and in vitro translational study

MFG-E8 facilitates heart repair after myocardial infarction by promoting M2 macrophage polarization and inhibiting CaMKII signaling, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for post-MI remodeling.
Ding et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in Myocardial infarction. rmMFG-E8 vs. WT-PBS, WT-sham, sham-MFG-E8-KO, MFG-E8-KO was evaluated on ventricular remodeling, cardiac function, and macrophage polarization. Administration of rmMFG-E8 improved ventricular remodeling and cardiac function after MI by suppressing M1 and promoting M2 macrophage polarization via inhibition of CaMKII-dependent signaling.
