Mutation of Per2 leads to vascular senescence. A, Cumulative population doubling is decreased in murine lung endothelial cells (EC) isolated from 8-week-old Per2m/m mice (n=4). B, One-year-old Per2m/m mice have increased percentage of senescence-related β-galactosidase staining positive compared with mice (n=4). C, Representative images of en face aorta or endothelial cells with senescence-related β-galactosidase staining (n=6). *P<0.05 vs WT.
