1 Our data showed that in cardiac fibroblasts, CTS attenuated Ang II-induced upregulation of fibronectin, connective tissue growth factor, cyclooxygenase-2, and normalized Ang II-induced upregulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2). cryptotanshinone mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus
2 Our data showed that in cardiac fibroblasts, CTS attenuated Ang II-induced upregulation of fibronectin, connective tissue growth factor, cyclooxygenase-2, and normalized Ang II-induced upregulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2). cryptotanshinone mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus
3 In conclusion, CTS may exert antifibrotic effects in vitro by inhibiting Ang II-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 phosphorylation and the expression of cyclooxygenase-2, NOX-2, and NOX-4, and also improved the pathological changes and relieved cardiac fibrosis in vivo. cryptotanshinone mitogen activated protein kinase 3 Rattus norvegicus
