Transforming Growth Factor β(1) Induces the Expression of Collagen Type I by DNA Methylation in Cardiac Fibroblasts

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), a key mediator of cardiac fibroblast activation, has a major influence on collagen type I production. However, the epigenetic mechanisms by which TGF-β induces collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) expression are not fully understood. This study was designed to ex...
