Fig. 4. EndMT is one origin of myofibroblasts in HF and could be regulated by AGEs/RAGE and autophagy.

A Flow cytometry analysis of primary isolates of mouse left ventricular cells. After mechanical disaggregation and enzymatic digestion, single-cell suspensions were incubated with combination of fluorescent antibodies to CD31, VE-Cadherin, and α-SMA. B, C Quantification of co-expressed cell analysis. n = 5. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 vs. sham group, ^#p < 0.05 vs. TAC group.
