Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 7 (TRPM7) Contributes to H2O2-Induced Cardiac Fibrosis via Mediating Ca2+ Influx and Extracellular Signal–Regulated Kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) Activation in Cardiac Fibroblasts

Abstract.: Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7), a Ca2+-nonselective cation channel, plays a key role in the pathophysiological response of multiple cell types. However, the role of TRPM7 channels in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cardiac fibrosis remains unclear. This study aimed to...
