Figure 7. Concepts of cardiac fibrogenic EMT.

Figure 7

Adult EMCs undergo EMT to generate fibroblast-like cells through up-regulation of miR-21, which in turn directly targets, and hence suppresses, PDCD4 and SPRY1. On the other hand, PDCD4 and SPRY1 can regulate various EMT biomarkers through miR-21-dependent mechanisms.
