Does exogenous Thymosin β4 reduce cardiac damage and fibrosis in mice with myocardial infarction?

Population

Mice with ligation-induced acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and in vitro mouse cardiac myocytes and myofibroblasts

Intervention

Intraperitoneal adeno-associated virus-Tβ4 (AAV-Tβ4) in vivo; exogenous Tβ4 in vitro

Outcome

Cardiac function parameters, degree of myocardial fibrosis, oxidative damage, and inflammationsurrogate

Exogenous Thymosin β4 supplementation protects against cardiac damage and fibrosis following myocardial infarction in mice by reducing oxidative stress and promoting mitophagy.
