Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) contributes to myocardial infarction (MI) injury. Polymorphism of TNF-α gene promoter region and secretion and release of TNF-α and its transformation by a series of signaling pathways are all changed at different points of pathophysiological process in MI. Researches also investigated TNF-α antagonists and their potential therapeutic role in the setting of MI and heart failure at both molecular and clinical level. This article briefly reviews TNF-α and its mechanism as a mediator in MI.
肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)会导致心肌梗死(MI)损伤。TNF-α基因启动子区域的多态性、TNF-α的分泌与释放及其通过一系列信号通路的转化在MI病理生理过程的不同阶段均发生改变。研究还在分子和临床层面探究了TNF-α拮抗剂及其在MI和心力衰竭中的潜在治疗作用。本文简要综述了TNF-α及其作为MI介质的机制。
