Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Nogo-B is a key endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein that regulates ER stress signaling. However, its role in cardiac hypertrophy remains poorly understood. ER stress is interrelated with autophagy in the process of cardiac hypertrophy. Therefore, we aimed to test the hypothesis that both ER stress and autophagy signaling mediate the function of Nogo-B in cardiac hypertrophy. Rat models of transverse aortic constriction (TAC), neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) stimulated with norepinephrine (Ne) and primary cardiac fibroblasts treated with transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) were used in this study. The expression of Nogo-B and markers of ER stress were determined by quantitative RT-PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence. Autophagy was measured by monitoring autophagic flux. Specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) of Nogo-B was transfected to investigate the role of Nogo-B in regulating cardiac hypertrophy. In TAC-induced hypertrophic heart tissues, Ne-treated hypertrophic cardiomyocytes and TGF-β1-stimulated cardiac fibroblasts, the expression of Nogo-B, and markers of ER stress were significantly elevated. Impairment of autophagic flux was observed in the activated cardiac fibroblasts. Down-regulation of Nogo-B by siRNA further exacerbated Ne-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and TGF-β1-induced cardiac fibroblast activation. Gene silencing of Nogo-B promoted the activation of the ER stress pathway and the impairment of autophagic flux. Moreover, inhibition of Nogo-B activated the protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK)/activating transcriptional factor 4 (ATF4) and activating transcriptional factor 6 (ATF6) branches of ER stress pathways. These findings suggest that inhibition of Nogo-B promotes cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibroblast activation by activating the PERK/ATF4 signaling pathway and defects of autophagic flux.
