| Abstract: |
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and related cardiovascular disease complications are the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is thermogenic and characterized by the uncoupling protein expression. Recent studies have found that in cardiovascular diseases, activated BAT can effectively improve the prognosis of AMI and concurrent heart failure through intercellular communication. However, a clear and systematic understanding of the myocardial protective mechanism of BAT after AMI is lacking, especially in the endocrine function of BAT. This review describes the effects of BAT on various cells in the heart after AMI. BAT plays a protective role on cardiac cells and fibroblasts during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), myocardial remodeling, and myocardial fibrosis. This review also discusses the changes caused by BAT activation in different stages of heart failure. Finally, this review summarizes the treatment methods that target BAT to improve AMI. Further in-depth researches are still needed to clarify the underlying mechanism of the connection between BAT and different cells in cardiac tissue in order to identify potential therapeutic targets.
