M-CSF can significantly increase the expression of M2 macrophage and reduce the level of M1 macrophage by inhibiting the levels of NLRP3/IL-1β-related proteins, thereby inhibiting inflammation, ameliorating reducing myocardial hypertrophy, apoptosis, and fibrosis, improve myocardial injury in mice after MI. The gene discussed is NLRP3; the disease is cardiac hypertrophy.
