Figure 3. Inhibition of Sirt1 in HUVECs induced premature senescence.
(A) and (B) Profiles of Sirt1 mRNA expression and Sirt1 protein expression 24 hours after transfection with Sirt1 siRNA. (C) and (D) Profiles of PAI-1 mRNA expression and PAI-1 protein expression 72 hours after transfection with Sirt1 siRNA. (E) SA-β-gal staining was done 72 hours after Sirt1 siRNA transfection. *P<0.05 vs Mock group, n = 3. Mock, transfection reagent only group; NC, negative control siRNA group; siRNA, Sirt1 siRNA group.
