However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of mitofilin in alleviating AMI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Recombinant adenoviral vectors for mitofilin overexpression or mitofilin knockdown were constructed, respectively. A mouse AMI model was established and the effect of mitofilin on myocardial pyroptosis was examined by detecting the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level and inflammatory factors. Moreover, a cellular model of AMI was established by treating cardiomyocytes with hypoxia\/reoxygenation (H\/R). An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a western blot analysis were used to detect the effect of mitofilin knockdown on the expression of pyroptosis-related factors. Furthermore, the regulatory role of mitofilin in PI3K\/AKT pathway was evaluated by the western blot and PI3K inhibitor.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mitofilin was downregulated in the heart tissue of the AMI mice and H\/R induced cardiomyocytes. The overexpression of mitofilin significantly alleviated AMI and reduced pyroptosis-related factors. Meanwhile, in cardiomyocytes, mitofilin knockdown aggravated cellular damages by promoting pyroptosis. Further analysis showed that the anti-pyroptotic effect of mitofilin was dependent on the activation of the PI3K\/AKT signaling pathway.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study suggests that mitofilin regulates pyroptosis through the PI3K\/AKT signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes to ameliorate AMI, which may serve as a therapeutic strategy for the management of AMI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2022.823591","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,2]],"date-time":"2022-05-02T05:13:44Z","timestamp":1651468424000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Mitofilin
