Abstract: Stem cell paracrine has been considered as the main mechanism to promote infarcted myocardium regeneration and repair of damaged cardiomyocytes. With further research, secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (Sfrp 2) and stem cell paracrine are closely linked to each other. Sfrp 2 can competitively bind to the specific receptor Fz in Wnt signaling pathway, inhibit Wnt signaling pathway to regulates apoptosis, differentiation, and other life processes of stem cells, and therefore becomes a research hotspot in recent years. This review focuses on the mechanism of Sfrp 2/Wnt signal way in stem cell therapy for myocardial infarction.
