Huangqi Shengmai Yin Protects against Radiation-Induced Cardiac Fibrosis Injury by Regulating the TGF- β1/Smads and MMPs.

Conclusions: The involvement of the TGF-β1/Smads and MMPs/TIMP system in RICF was confirmed. This study demonstrated, for the first time, that HSY attenuates the effects of RICF in a rat model. The effect HSY was found to be closely related to the TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway and MMPs system. These results suggest that HSY is a prospective drug for clinical treatment of RICF.
