0.050 | AlteredExpression | disease | BEFREE | Flow cytometry analysis was performed to identify cardiac fibroblasts by examining vimentin, fibronectin (FN) and α-actin expression in human CFs. qRT-PCR and western blot assays were performed to confirm the expression of miR-32-5p, DUSP1 and cardiac fibrosis relevant proteins. | 31438862 | 2019 | ||||
|
0.050 | AlteredExpression | disease | BEFREE | The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanisms of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ) in cardiac myofibroblast (CMF) differentiation and in a rat model of cardiac fibrosis induced by experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM).In vitro studies performed in primary neonatal rat CMF revealed that silencing of C/EBPβ expression (via lentiviral mediated shRNA strategies) was sufficient to reduce C/EBPβ mRNA and protein levels as well as to decrease the expressions of actin cytoskeletal proteins, cofilin, and filamin A (FLNA). | 30305575 | 2018 | ||||
|
0.050 | Biomarker | disease | BEFREE | Ang II infusion induced cardiac injury, including increased macrophage infiltration, expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-12, IL-6, etc), and cardiac fibrosis, such as elevated α-smooth muscle actin, collagen I, and TGF-β expression. | 24877626 | 2014 | ||||
|
0.050 | AlteredExpression | disease | BEFREE | Peri-transplant surgical trauma and ischemia/reperfusion injury in accepted murine heterotopic heart grafts has been associated with myofibroblast differentiation, cardiac fibrosis and biomechanical-stress activation of the fetal myocardial smooth muscle α-actin (SMαA) gene. | 22619371 | 2012 | ||||
|
0.050 | Biomarker | disease | BEFREE | Compared with the wild-type mice, although Ang II infusion caused an equally high systolic blood pressure, levels of human CRP were further elevated, and cardiac remodeling was markedly exacerbated in mice that express human CRP, resulting in a significant reduction in the left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening and an increase in cardiac fibrosis (collagen I and III and alpha-smooth muscle actin) and inflammation (interleukin 1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha). | 20157054 | 2010 |
