Levels of CysC protein in cardiomyocytes and in supernatants after exogenous CysC intervention. (A) Gene expression of CST3 and GAPDH in primary cardiomyocytes after 24-hour interference of CST3-siRNA or GAPDH-siRNA; (B) CysC content in primary cardiomyocytes (cell-CysC) and in supernatants (SP-CysC) after 24-hour interference of CST3-siRNA, followed by AngII 10⁻⁶ M intervention; (C) CysC levels in primary cardiomyocytes and in supernatants after 24-hour interference of CST3-siRNA, followed by exogenous CysC intervention. AngII, Angiotensin II; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; CysC, cystatin C; SP, supernatant.
