Recombinant human endostatin combined with radiotherapy promotes cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rats via TGFβ1/Smads/CTGF signaling pathway

Abstract Purpose The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of recombinant human endostatin (ES) (rh-ES) combined with radiation on rat cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the regulatory mechanism of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β1)/Sma and Mad-related protein 3 (Smad3)/connective...
