MicroRNA‑331 inhibits isoproterenol‑induced expression of profibrotic genes in cardiac myofibroblasts via the TGFβ/smad3 signaling pathway

Abstract Cardiac fibrosis in the failing heart is modulated by activated myofibroblasts, and is a pathology marked by their deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. The TGFβ signaling pathway is important in stimulating fibrosis and therefore seems an attractive new target for anti-fibrotic ther...
