摘要: |
生长分化因子-15(growth differentiation factor-15, GDF-15)是转化生长因子β(transforming growth factor β,TGF-β)超家族成员的一个远支,是一个重要的心血管保护因子。作为新的标志物, GDF-15水平与多种心血管疾病的诊断、危险分层和预后判断有密切关系。本文就GDF-15基因的生物学特点及其在心血管疾病中的多种功能作一综述。 |

Abstract: |
Growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15, a distant member of the transforming growth factor-β cytokine superfamily, is a powerful cardioprotective factor. Many studies have demonstrated that serum GDF-15 level is a novel marker closely associated with the diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognosis of several cardiovascular diseases. This article mainly reviews the characteristics of GDF-15 and its multifunction in cardiovascular diseases. |
Key words: growth differentiation factor-15 transforming growth factor-β cardiovascular diseases |
