ECHS1 and myocardial infarction: Similarly, ECHS1, as an ischemic post-conditioning (PostC) modified protein, showed significantly decreased expression in the cardiac remodeling group after MI compared with the sham group, by analyzing the two different groups’ expression data from GEO database GSE7487 [25] (7.748 ± 4.319 vs. 4.214 ± 1.668, P = 5.46 × 10−6) and GSE47495 [26] (11.89 ± 0.11 vs. 12.13 ± 0.04, P = 7.28 × 10−4, Table S6 and S7).
