SMOC1 silencing suppresses the cell viability of Ang II-induced MFBs. (A) Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and (B) western blot analysis were performed on the expression level of SMOC1 in MFBs transfected with empty vector or si-SMOC1. **P<0.01 vs. NC. (C) A Cell Count kit-8 assay was performed to measure the cell viability of MFBs, MFBs transfected with an empty vector, and Ang II-induced MFBs transfected with an empty vector or si-SMOC1. *P<0.05 vs. control. ^P<0.05 vs. Ang II. SMOC1, SPARC-related modular calcium binding 1; MFBs, myocardial fibroblasts; si, small interfering RNA; Ang II, angiotensin II; NC, negative control.
