Figure Lengend Snippet: Mechanosensitive nuclear envelope protein, emerin, may be a key mediator in the initiation of a mechanically‐induced senescence phenotype in cardiac fibroblasts. Representative images show emerin staining for nuclei from WT CFs from mechanically‐induced, chemically‐induced, and respective control cultures. Scale bar = 10 µm. A) Quantifying the emerin ring thickness in Stretch Control and Stretch Injury CFs indicated a decreased ring in Stretch Injury CFs. N = 5 animals. n ≥ 25 nuclei/treatment. B) Emerin ring thickness between TCP and ROS‐induced CFs showed no significant alterations with the induction of a senescent phenotype. N = 6–8 animals, n ≥ 25 nuclei/treatment. Error bar = 1 Std. Linear mixed model, ANOVA. **** p < 0.0001.
