IRX2 regulates angiotensin II-induced cardiac fibrosis by transcriptionally activating EGR1 in male mice
16 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Cardiac fibrosis is a common feature of chronic heart failure. Iroquois homeobox (IRX) family of transcription factors plays important roles in heart development; however, the role of IRX2 in cardiac fibrosis has not been clarified. Here we report that IRX2 expression is significantly upregulated in the fibrotic hearts. Increased IRX2 expression is mainly derived from cardiac fibroblast (CF) during the...
