We evaluated the content of active form of TGF-β1 in the intact and post-infarction heart and the effect of this factor on the properties of epicardial cells. During the acute stage after myocardial infarction, the production of TGF-β1 in the heart increased, which closely correlated with activation of epicardial cells (appearance of a pool of Wt1+ epicardial cells entering the epithelial-mesenchymal transition). The role of TGF-β1 as the factor of epicardial activation was confirmed by the results of in vitro experiments addition of
