Upregulation of Transient Receptor Potential Canonical Type 3 Channel via AT1R/TGF-β1/Smad2/3 Induces Atrial Fibrosis in Aging and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
Figure 3
Upregulation of fibrotic biomarkers and TRPC3 in the atrium from SHR and WKY with aging. The relative mRNA and protein expressions of collagen I (left, upper panel, COL-I) (a), collagen III (right, upper panel, COL-III) (b), TGF-β1 (left, bottom panel) (c), and TRPC3 (right, bottom panel) (d). All values are presented as the of 8 rats. and significantly different compared with WKY 4m-o.
