    A) Log2 fold changes of the selected genes from pathway analysis with significant p-values were depicted in the heatmap. This represents the DEGs in U87MG cells after treatment with α-SYN (1 μM) for 3 hours compared to the control, as well as the same genes after 24 hours of treatment compared to the 3-hour mark. The categories include: A) oxidative stress-related senescence genes, B) genes associated with DNA repair pathways, C) genes involved in the FAK-Rho-ROCK signaling pathway, and D) Intrigin-mediated cell adhesion pathway. E) STRING analysis of DEGs maintained in the pathways (A-D). P-value adjusted <0.05. F) Schematic of α-SYN-mediated oxidative stress-induced senescence, highlighting DNA damage, nuclear lamin integrity, and the ROCK-inhibitory pathway that facilitates TNT formation and the reversal of senescent cells. G) Images of TUNNEL assay represent DNA damage, H) quantification of the cells with damaged DNA, I) Paxillin represents FAs, J) cytosolic and nuclear translocation of YAP, and K) quantification of cells with nuclear YAP, in α-SYN (1 μM) treated U87 MG cells for 3,6,12, and 24hours. The graph’s data points represent the number of images used for analysis, pooling data from three biological repeats. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, ∗∗∗p ≤ 0.001.
