Cytokine-Mediated Alterations of Human Cardiac Fibroblast’s Secretome

Fibroblasts contribute to approximately 20% of the non-cardiomyocytic cells in the heart. They play important roles in the myocardial adaption to stretch, inflammation, and other pathophysiological conditions. Fibroblasts are a major source of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins whose production is...

Cytokine-Mediated Alterations of Human Cardiac Fibroblast’s Secretome
description Fibroblasts contribute to approximately 20% of the non-cardiomyocytic cells in the heart.

Fibroblasts are a major source of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins whose production is regulated by cytokines, such as TNF-α or TGF-β. The resulting myocardial fibrosis is a hallmark of pathological remodeling in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Therefore, in the present study, the secretome and corresponding transcriptome of human cardiac fibroblasts from patients with DCM was investigated under normal conditions and after TNF-α or TGF-β stimulation.
