Oxidative stress enhances the cardiac fibrotic signaling pathway, with reactive oxygen species inducing cardiac fibrosis through increased expression of the profibrotic factor transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1). Furthermore, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is implicated in interstitial fibrosis, which is associated with TGF-β. Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is expressed in heart tissue, with protective effects in pathological cardiac hypertrophy.
