Tregs |
Epicardial YAP/TAZ |
The novel Hippo signaling effectors YAP/TAZ within epicardial can drive the immune chemokine target IFN-γ of Tregs to the injured myocardium and function as cardioprotectors post-AMI. |
[93] |
CD39 of Tregs |
Unknown |
Attenuates cardiomyocyte apoptosis and reduces neutrophil infiltration. |
[92] |
Key secreted proteins of Tregs |
Unknown |
Tregs function in a paracrine manner to promote cardiomyocyte proliferation for cardioprotection after AMI. The six secreted proteins including Cst7, Tnfsf11, Il33, Fgl2, Matn2, and Igf2 may be responsible. |
[94] |
IL-2/Anti-IL-2 mAb complex (IL-2C) |
Unknown |
IL-2C from the spleen and heart might selectively proliferate cardioprotective Tregs. |
[95] |
N,N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS) |
IL-10, TGFβ
|
DMS applied during early AMI in vivo may be protective against MIRI by recruiting Tregs via the PI3K/Akt pathway. |
[96] |
S1P/FTY720 |
CCL7, MMP-2 and IL-6 |
FTY720 can reduce immune B cells and its associated chemokine CCL7 and suppress MMP-2 and IL-6 in order to prevent the heart from severe cardiac inflammation and immune responses. |
[102] |
TRAF3IP2 (previously known as CIKS or Act1) |
NF-κB, JNK, p38 MAPK |
Traf3ip2 gene deletion mediates an overall cardioprotective effects. |
[104, 105] |
IL-21 |
Akt, NF-κB, p38MAPK |
Increases chemokine expression by activating Akt/NF-κB signaling in cardiomyocytes and p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling in cardiac fibroblasts. |
[106] |
Crk adaptor proteins |
C3G, RAP1 |
Crk adaptor proteins can mediate the initial steps of T-cells adhesion via its nSH3 domain binding to C3G, which is guanine-nucleotide exchange factors for the small GTPases RAP1. |

Rat |
S1P/FTY720 |
(GSK)-3β, mPTP components |
S1P receptor agonist FTY720 can inhibit GSK-3β and regulate opening of mPTP to be cardioprotective. |
[101] |
|
Human |
Vildagliptin |
TGF-β1 |
Vildagliptin can recruit Tregs by overexpressing TGF-β1. |
