Effect of lncRNA H19 on Rats with Chronic Heart Failure Based on TGF-β1/Smad3 Signaling Pathway by WANG Lingyan, CAO Guojun, MEI Yang, ZHANG Bin, ZHOU Shijing

“…In the sham surgery group, only a small amount of collagen was distributed in the myocardium, and the tissue cells were closely arranged without obvious gaps; compared with sham surgery group, there was a large amount of collagen hyperplasia in the myocardial tissue of rats in the heart failure group, the cell arrangement was not uniform, and CVF increased significantly (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the heart failure group and the negative control group, the myocardial collagen proliferation in the overexpression group relieved significantly, the cells were neatly distributed, and the CVF decreased significantly (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the overexpression group, there was still a large amount of collagen distribution in the myocardial tissue of rats in the combined overexpression group, the intercellular space was enlarged, and the CVF increased significantly (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionOverexpression of lncRNA H19 can reduce the extent of myocardial fibrosis and cardiac injury and improve heart function, which may be related to the regulation of TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway and the inhibition of miRNA-200a expression.…”
