Effect of hepatocyte growth factor and transforming growth factor-β₁ on atrial fibroblasts fibrosis

摘要

Objective To investigate the effect of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1) on the expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) and collagen I in human atrial fibroblast in vitro, and to explore the possible molecular mechanism of atrial fibrosis in patients
