BNIP3L promotes cardiac fibrosis in cardiac fibroblasts through [Ca2+]i-TGF-β-Smad2/3 pathway
Abstract Fibrosis is an important, structurally damaging event that occurs in pathological cardiac remodeling, leading to cardiac dysfunction. BNIP3L is up-regulated in pressure overload-induced heart failure and has been reported to play an important role in cardiomyocyte apoptosis; however, its in...
