Ticagrelor 24-34 galectin 3 Rattus norvegicus 106-116 31274838-4 2019 Ticagrelor significantly reduced the infarct size and plasma cTnI at 3 and 7 days after IRI, significantly downregulated protein and mRNA expressions of NF-kappaB and galectin-3, and mRNA expressions of IL-6 and TNF-alpha in the ischemic area at 24 hours, 3 and 7 days after IRI. Ticagrelor 0-10 galectin 3 Rattus norvegicus 167-177 29381821-4 2018 It remains unknown whether the cardioprotective effects of ticagrelor are also mediated by modulating myocardial galectin-3 expression. Ticagrelor 59-69 galectin 3 Rattus norvegicus 113-123 29381821-7 2018 RESULTS: Our results showed that ticagrelor treatment significantly reduced IA/AAR ratio at 3 and 7 days post I/R, downregulated mRNA and protein expression of galectin-3, as well as mRNA expression of TNF-alpha and IL-6 in infarct area at 24 h, 3 and 7 days post I/R. Ticagrelor 33-43 galectin 3 Rattus norvegicus 160-170 29381821-8 2018 CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that the cardioprotective effects of ticagrelor might partly be mediated by downregulating galectin-3 expression in infarct area in this rat model of myocardial I/R injury.
