… to 4% static biaxial stretch in rat cardiac fibroblasts. ERK2 and JNK1, but not p38, were
rapidly activated by stretch when the fibroblasts were allowed to synthesize their own matrices. …

… In conclusion, we have found that a primary prostanoid formed by rat cardiac fibroblasts
is PGI 2 and that this eicosanoid exerts inhibitory actions on fibroblast proliferation, DNA …

… and cardiomyocytes were harvested from newborn rat ventricles … ≥72 h by cardiac fibroblasts.
Serum concentrations were held … Only cardiomyocytes in fibroblast-conditioned medium …

… rat cardiac fibroblast. T-type and L-type calcium channel mRNAs were highly expressed in
cultured cardiac fibroblasts. … L-type calcium channel–blocking actions in cardiac fibroblasts. …

… These authors observed that confluent cultures (above 1×10 5 cells/cm 2 ) of rat adult cardiac
fibroblasts did not respond at all to 10 −7 mol/l Ang II, whereas proliferation can occur with …

… on cardiac fibroblasts. This study established an in vitro model of cultured cardiac fibroblasts
from aged rats to … subtype in cardiac fibroblasts from young adult and senescent rats were …

… cardiac fibroblasts synthesize adenosine, we assayed adenosine synthesis by cultured rat
cardiac fibroblasts … Briefly, cardiac fibroblasts (atrial or ventricular, third passage) were plated …

… We have recently reported on a cell culture model of isolated rat cardiac fibroblasts in which
one effect of ischemia, the lack of nutrients, was examined [16]. We have shown the loss of …

… We have previously reported that primary cultures of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts possess
abundant AT, receptors that are coupled to a proliferative growth response. In these cells, …

… in collagen synthesis by cardiac fibroblasts exposed to one-hour hypoxia, indicating that
short-term hypoxia induces stimulation of collagen synthesis in cardiac fibroblasts. On the other …
