FNDC4 acts as an anti-inflammatory factor on macrophages and improves colitis in mice

FDNC4 is a poorly characterized homologue of FNDC5/irisin, a myokine induced by exercise. Here the authors show that FDNC4 increases macrophage survival in growth factor deprivation, inhibits phagocytosis and transcriptional responses to M1 and M2 polarizing stimuli, and protects mice from DSS-induc...
