Inhibition of P2X7 Purinergic Receptor Ameliorates Cardiac Fibrosis by Suppressing NLRP3/IL-1β Pathway
P2X7 purinergic receptor (P2X7R) has been implicated in several cardiovascular diseases. However, whether it regulates cardiac fibrosis remains elusive. Herein, its involvement in the development of cardiac fibrosis was examined using a transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice model and cardiac fib...
