Effective post-infarction repair requires timely suppression of innate immune signals to prevent the catastrophic consequences of uncontrolled inflammation on cardiac geometry and function. In macrophages, Interleukin Receptor-Associated Kinase (IRAK)-M acts as a functional decoy preventing uncontrolled TLR/Interleukin-1-mediated responses. Our study investigates the role of IRAK-M as a negative regulator of the post-infarction inflammatory response and as a modulator of cardiac remodeling. In WT mouse infarcts IRAK-M was upregulated in infiltrating macrophages and fibroblasts exhibiting a biphasic response. When compared to wildtype animals, infarcted IRAK-M −/− mice had enhanced adverse remodeling and worse systolic dysfunction; however, acute infarct size was comparable between groups. Adverse remodeling in IRAK-M −/− animals was associated with enhanced myocardial inflammation and protease activation. The protective actions of IRAK-M involved phenotypic modulation of macrophages and fibroblasts. IRAK-M −/− infarcts showed increased infiltration with pro-inflammatory CD11b+/Ly6Chi monocytes; leukocytes harvested from IRAK-M null infarcts exhibited accentuated cytokine expression. In vitro, IRAK-M expression was upregulated in cytokine-stimulated murine cardiac fibroblasts and suppressed their matrix-degrading properties without affecting their inflammatory activity. Endogenous IRAK-M attenuates adverse post-infarction remodeling suppressing leukocyte inflammatory activity, while inhibiting fibroblast-mediated matrix degradation.
