High-mobility group A1 (HMGA1) knockdown alleviated cardiac fibrosis and dysfunction induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) in mice. (A) The protein level of HMGA1 in mouse hearts 3 weeks after AAV9-shHMGA1 injection (n = 6). (B) Immunofluorescence staining of HMGA1 and α-SMA in heart tissue post-AAV9-shHMGA1 injection and Ang II infusion (n = 5). (C) PSR staining image and quantitative result of left ventricular collagen volume in mouse hearts 28 days after Ang II infusion (n = 5). (D) Transcription levels of collagen I, collagen III, and TGFβ1 (n = 6). (E) Protein levels of collagen III and α-SMA in heart tissue (n = 6). (F) Echocardiographic results in each group (n = 10). *p < 0.05.
