Nox4 overexpression reversed the inhibiting effects of TIIA on Ang II-induced fibrosis of CFs. Nox4 overexpression reversed the effects of TIIA in attenuating the increases of collagen I, collagen III, SMA, TGF-β, MMP2 and MMP9 in the Ang II-treated CFs. The results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. *P<0.05 vs. the Ad-GFP group; #P<0.05 vs. the Ang II group; &P<0.05 vs. the Ang II + TIIA group. Nox, NADPH oxidase; TIIA, tanshinone IIA; Ang II, angiotensin II; CFs, cardiac fibroblasts; SMA, α-smooth muscle actin; MMP, matrix metalloproteinase.
