High-mobility group A1 (HMGA1) deficiency reduced cardiac fibroblast proliferation and activation in vitro. (A) The protein level of HMGA1 in fibroblasts transfected with HMGA1 siRNA (n = 6). (B–D) CFs were transfected with HMGA1 siRNA and stimulated with TGFβ1 for 24 h. (B) Cell proliferation detected by CCK8 assay (n = 6). (C) Immunofluorescence staining of PCNA (n = 5). (D) Immunofluorescence staining of α-SMA (n = 5). (E) Transcription levels of collagen I, collagen III, and CTGF (n = 6). *p < 0.05.
