Effects of ALDH2 on Wnt/β-catenin-regulated cardiac fibrosis after MI in rats from each group.

Notes: Western blotting images of β-catenin and total and phosphorylated GSK-3β (A), Quantitative analyses of phosphorylated GSK-3β (normalized to total GSK-3β) (B), quantitative analyses of β-catenin (C), mRNA expression of Wnt-1 (D), phosphorylated GSK-3β (normalized to total GSK-3β) (E), β-catenin (F), collagen type I (G), collagen type III (H), and α-SMA (I). Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n=6 per group. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs the control group; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs the model group.

Abbreviations: ALDH2, aldehyde dehydrogenase-2; GSK-3β, glycogen synthase kinase; MI, myocardial infarction; pGSK-3β, phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β; SD, standard deviation; α-SMA, α-smooth muscle actin.
