Rattus norvegicus | SIRT6 expression is upregulated under pathologic conditions in angiotensin II-stimulated cardiac fibroblasts and in myocardium of rat subjected to abdominal aortic constriction surgery | up |
General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | SIRT6 depletion in cardiac fibroblasts results in increased cell proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition as well as significantly higher expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin, the classical marker of myofibroblast differentiation, and increased formation of focal adhesions. Notably, SIRT6 depletion further exacerbates angiotensin IIinduced myofibroblast differentiation | Rattus norvegicus |
physiological function | the enzyme is a key modulator in the phenotypic conversion of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts | Rattus norvegicus |
