Objective— The inflammatory response after myocardial infarction plays a crucial role in the healing process. Lately, there is accumulating evidence that the Wnt/Frizzled pathway may play a distinct role in inflammation. We have shown that secreted frizzled-related protein-1 (sFRP-1) overexpression reduced postinfarction scar size, and we noticed a decrease in neutrophil infiltration in the ischemic tissue. We aimed to further elucidate the role of sFRP-1 in the postischemic inflammatory process. Methods and Results— We found that in vitro, sFRP-1 was able to block leukocyte activation and cytokine production. We transplanted bone marrow cells (BMCs) from transgenic mice overexpressing sFRP-1 into wild-type recipient mice and compared myocardial healing with that of mice transplanted with wild-type BMCs. These results were compared with those obtained in transgenic mice overexpressing sFRP-1 specifically in endothelial cells or in cardiomyocytes to better understand the spatiotemporal mechanism of the sFRP-1 effect. Our findings indicate that when overexpressed in the BMCs, but not in endothelial cells or cardiomyocytes, sFRP-1 was able to reduce neutrophil infiltration after ischemia, by switching the balance of pro- and antiinflammatory cytokine expression, leading to a reduction in scar formation and better cardiac hemodynamic parameters. Conclusion— sFRP-1 impaired the loop of cytokine amplification and decreased neutrophil activation and recruitment into the scar, without altering the neutrophil properties. These data support the notion that sFRP-1 may be a novel antiinflammatory factor protecting the heart from damage after myocardial infarction.
