Figure 3

(A) Undifferentiated and differentiated iPS cells were stained with a senescence detection kit to detect senescence associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) around the nuclear area. (B) Quantitative analysis of the number of SA-β-Gal positive cells in undifferentiated and differentiated iPS cells. Expression of (C) SIRT and senescence associated genes such as (D) ARF and (E) p21 in Flk-1+ cells from young and old murine iPS cells determined by real-time PCR. SIRT, ARF and p21 mRNA levels were expressed relative to GAPDH mRNA levels (n = 3 in each group).
