TGF-β 1 (Transforming Growth Factor-β 1 ) Plays a Pivotal Role in Cardiac Myofibroblast Arrhythmogenicity

Volume: 10, Issue: 5

Abstract
Background— TGF-β 1 (transforming growth factor-β 1 ) importantly contributes to cardiac fibrosis by controlling differentiation, migration, and collagen secretion of cardiac myofibroblasts. It is still elusive, however, to which extent TGF-β 1 alters the electrophysiological phenotype of myofibroblasts and cardiomyocytes and whether it affects proarrhythmic myofibroblast–cardiomyocyte crosstalk observed in vitro. Methods and Results—...
