CILP1 expression was determined in mouse LV infarct tissue (MI) and remote non-infarcted area (RA) at 5 days and 4 weeks following myocardial infarction and compared to connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), collagen type I (COL1A1), TGFβ1 and TGFβ3. The gene discussed is TGFB3; the disease is myocardial infarction.
