The Effects of rhNRG-1β on mRNA Expressions in Human Ventricular Cardiac Fibroblasts
(A) Representative 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and αSMA staining of human ventricular cardiac fibroblasts. The mRNA expression of (B)α SMA, alpha-smooth muscle actin; (C)Col 1, collagen 1; (D)Col 3, collagen 3; and LOX1, lysyl oxidase 1 in human ventricular cardiac fibroblasts. Scale bar, 50 μm. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6 replicates/group; ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.01, one-way analysis of variance, Tukey post hoc test. Ctrl = control; TGF-β = transforming growth factor beta; ErbB3 AB = EbB3 antibody; other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
