摘要

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory condition. Interleukin-27 (IL-27), a cytokine from the IL-12 and IL-6 families, plays a dual role in CAD pathogenesis. It exacerbates disease by interacting with IL-1β and activating the NLRP3 inflammasome, promoting inflammation and tissue damage. Conversely, IL-27 can delay disease progression by engaging STAT1/3 signalling, suppressing inflammation, and promoting tissue repair. Future research should focus on elucidating IL-27’s specific biological functions, interactions with molecular targets, and clinical implications in CAD. This will enhance understanding of CAD and support the development of improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
