Multiple roles of KLF15 in the heart: Underlying mechanisms and therapeutic implications.

Although there is an increasing understanding of the signaling pathways that promote cardiac hypertrophy, negative regulatory factors of this process have received less attention. Increasing evidence indicates that Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) plays an important role in maintaining cardiac function by controlling the transcriptional pathways that regulating cardiac metabolism. Recent studies have also revealed a vital role for KLF15 as an inhibitor of pathological cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis via its effects on factors such as myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2), GATA-binding protein 4 (GATA4), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and myocardin. KLF15 may therefore be an effective therapeutic target for the treatment of heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we focus on the physiological and pathophysiological roles of KLF15 in the heart and the potential mechanisms through which KLF15 is regulated in various cardiac diseases.
