Nox4 overexpression reverses the effects of TIIA in inhibiting LV fibrosis in rats with MI-induced heart failure. Nox4 overexpression reversed the effects of TIIA in attenuating the increases of collagen I, collagen III, SMA, TGF-β, MMP2 and MMP9 in the LV of MI rats. The results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. n=8. *P<0.05 vs. the Sham + Ad-GFP group; #P<0.05 vs. the MI + Ad-GFP group; &P<0.05 vs. the MI + TIIA group. Nox, NADPH oxidase; TIIA, tanshinone IIA; LV, left ventricular; MI, myocardial infarction; SMA, α-smooth muscle actin; MMP, matrix metalloproteinase.
