Sal B significantly decreased the ubiquitination of Smad7 and stabilized the protein expression of Smad7, thereby increasing the protein expression of Smad7 in CFs and inhibiting the TGF-β1 signaling pathway, which may be the potential mechanism by which Sal B mitigates myocardial fibrosis induced by DCM. The gene discussed is SMAD7; the disease is familial dilated cardiomyopathy.
