The Downregulation of ADAM17 Exerts Protective Effects against Cardiac Fibrosis by Regulating Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Mitophagy
Figure 1
ADAM17 is upregulated in fibrosis heart tissues and mCFs treated with TGF-β1. Mice were divided into two groups: sham and MI. (a, b) The mRNA and protein levels of ADAM17, collagen I, and α-SMA in fibrosis heart tissues (). (c, d) mCFs were divided into two groups: control and TGF-β1 treatment (5 ng/mL, 48 h). The mRNA and protein levels of ADAM17, collagen I, and α-SMA in the process of mCF activation (). Data in (a–d) are expressed as . indicates and indicates vs. sham or control groups.
