Cardiac fibroblasts of dilated cardiomyopathy patients. Cardiac fibroblasts of dilated cardiomyopathy patients

To investigate the physiological characteristics of cardiac fibroblasts (CF) from pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients, CFs were harvested from left ventricular free wall at the heart transplantation. We then performed RNA-seq for 7 different lines of CFs. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq for four independent CF cell lines of pediatric DCM and three independent CF cell lines of healthy donors
