Figure 1. DOX inhibits collagen synthesis in cardiomyocytes and causes progressive thinning of the ventricular wall. (A) heat map of differential expressed collagen genes in the control group versus DOX group; (B) scatter plot of Reactome enrichment analysis of down regulated genes affected by DOX; (C) scan of heart tissue sections after HE staining; (D) statistical illustration of ventricular wall thickness and ventricular size in the control and DOX group. *P < 0.05 vs. the Control group, #P < 0.05 vs. the DOX group.
