RGS4 as a negative regulator for choline in cardiac fibrosis during MI. a, b The function of infarcted heart measured by echocardiography. n = 6. c The ratio of heart weight and the length of tibia. n = 6. d Left: Representative images of Masson-stained hearts of MI mice. Right: Statistical results of Masson staining. CVF: volume fraction of collagen. n = 5. e mRNA expression of collagen I, f collagen III and g α-SMA in MI mice was measured by qRT-PCR. n = 3. h Protein levels of collagen I, i CTGF and j α-SMA in MI mice was assessed by western blot analysis. MI + Choline + LV-NC served as a negative control. n = 5. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus Sham, #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 versus MI, &p < 0.05, &&p < 0.01, &&&p < 0.001 versus MI + Choline + LV-NC
