The muscle-speciﬁc protein mitsugumin-53 (MG53) has been identiﬁed to protect cell integrity as a ‘‘Molecular Band-Aid”.  \nObjectives: The recombinant human MG53 (rhMG53) pretreatment has been reported to prevent cardiac function damage caused by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). However, whether or not MG53 protects against SCD remains to be further clariﬁed.  \nMethods: C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to generate the SCD model. MG53 was overexpressed by intravenously injected adeno-associated virus, and therhMG53 was administrated intraperitoneally. The cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography, and the cardiac inﬂammation was assessed through ELISA and Western blot. The mechanisms of MG53 were studied by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) .  \nResults: Our present study found that MG53 expression was lower in hearts from SCD mice than controls. Overexpression or exogenous MG53 treatment alleviated cardiac dysfunction, improved survival rate in SCD mice, accompanied with improved pathological changes, reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and lowered inﬂammatory factor levels in serum or hearts. Mechanistically, MG53 inhibited TLR4 transcriptional activity by ubiquitinating ATF2, an essential transcriptional factor for TLR4, which ultimately reduced the expression of TLR4.  \n⁎ Corresponding authors at: Department of Cardiology, Daping Hospital, The Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, PR China.  \nE-mail addresses: [zengchunyu@tmmu.edu.cn](zengchunyu@tmmu.edu.cn) (C.
