Figure Lengend Snippet: YAP was upregulated in senescent endothelial cells (A) The proliferation of HUVECs population doubling level (PDL) at 10 and 30 were treated with vehicle or verteporfin (0.5 μM) for 12 h. Immunoblotting and quantifying the protein level of P16, P21, P53, VCAM1, and YAP. n = 4. (B) Proliferation of HUVECs PDL at 10 were transfected with siRNA-NC (negative control) or siRNA against YAP for 12 h, followed by treated with vehicle or H 2 O 2 (100 μM) for 12 h. Immunoblotting and quantifying the protein level of P16, P21, P53, VCAM1, and YAP. n = 4. (C) Proliferation of HUVECs PDL at 10 were infected with GFP adenovirus (Ad-GFP) or YAP adenovirus (Ad-YAP) for 24 h and then treated with vehicle or verteporfin (0.5 μM) for 12 h. Immunoblotting and quantifying the protein level of P16, P21, P53, VCAM1, and YAP. n = 4. (D and E) SA-β-Gal staining and quantitative analysis of senescent cells, scale bars: 40 μm, n = 6, p values correspond to one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. All data are represented as mean ± SEM. ∗, p ≤ 0.05; ∗∗, p ≤ 0.01; ∗∗∗, p ≤ 0.001; ∗∗∗∗, p ≤ 0.0001.
