Notch3 promotes the apoptosis of rat cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). (A,B) Representative western blot and quantitative data of cleaved caspase3, total caspase3, and Bcl2 after notch3 overexpression or knockdown (n = 3). (C,D) The CF apoptotic rate after notch3 overexpression or knockdown, detected by flow cytometry. Q1-UR and Q1-LR were used to analyze the change of apoptotic rate in different experimental groups (n = 3). Values represent the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. C-caspase3, cleaved caspase3; T-caspase3, total caspase3.
