From: LncRNA FTX promotes myocardial fibrosis by sponging miR-335-3p to regulate TFEC/ILK signaling
Upregulation of TFEC and ILK in TGF-β1-induced cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). (A,B) An in vitro model of CFs was established using TGF-β1 induction. TFEC and ILK mRNA levels were assessed by qRT-PCR. (C) The representative western blotting results of TFEC and ILK protein. (D,E) The quantified protein expression levels of TFEC and ILK evaluated by western blotting. The mRNA and protein levels of TFEC and ILK were significantly elevated by TGF-β1. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared with indicated group.
