C1q/TNF-Related Protein 9 Inhibits Coxsackievirus B3-Induced Injury in Cardiomyocytes through NF-κB and TGF-β1/Smad2/3 by Modulating THBS1

Figure 5

THBS1 attenuated the effect of CTRP9 on CVB3-induced H9c2 cells. (a, b) After transfected with recombinant adenovirus vectors containing full-length rat THBS1 (Ad-THBS1) or/and Ad-CTRP9, the mRNA and protein expression of THBS1 in CVB3-infected H9c2 cells was detected. (c) The cell viability, (d) apoptosis rate, (e) inflammatory cytokine levels, and (f) fibrosis-related gene expression were measured after Ad-THBS1 or/and Ad-CTRP9 transfection. . in each group.
