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 factorβ,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。
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.
