OBJECTIVE: Recently, the vital functions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in many diseases have been explored. This study aims to identify the function of lncRNA PCAT-1 in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Real Time-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to detect PCAT-1 expression in right atrial appendage (RAA) tissues of … Continue reading Long non-coding RNA PCAT-1 promotes cardiac fibroblast proliferation via upregulating TGF-β1
