Gene expression and differentiation induction in senesced cells. (a) CD105 expression in 520d-5p/NHDF cells subjected to irradiation was confirmed 75 days after transfection of 520d-5p using immunocytochemistry (ICC; top). 520d-5p/NHDF cells just prior to apoptosis (77 days post-transfection) underwent differentiation induced by differentiation agents to confirm by ICC whether they had mesenchymal stem cell-like properties. Representative images show that CD105 was expressed during the senesced state although irradiated NHDF expressed CD105 strongly in proliferative status. (b) Osteocalcin was expressed in irradiated NHDF cells after differentiation induction, but the expression of FABP and aggrecan was not observed (bottom). Left, unstained; middle, rhodamine-conjugated antibody; right, second antibody alone.
