ABSTRACT=<p>Augmented levels of reactive isolevuglandins (IsoLGs) are responsible for cardiovascular diseases. The role of IsoLGs in myocardial infarction (MI) remains elusive. Here we explored the effect of IsoLGs scavenger 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) in post-infarction cardiac repair. We observed that infarcted cardiac tissues expressed high IsoLGs in mice. Following MI injury, 2-HOBA treated mice displayed decreased infarction area and improved heart function compared with the saline-treated group. Moreover, 2-HOBA effectively attenuated MI-induced cardiac remodeling, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation. 4-hydroxybenzylamine (4-HOBA), a less reactive isomer of 2-HOBA, barely antagonized the MI-induced injury. These findings suggest that IsoLGs elimination may be helpful in MI therapy.</p>
