Double deletion of CD9/CD81 results in reduced SIRT1 expression. (a) Immunoblot of the lungs for major aging molecules. Notably, expression of SIRT1, but not that of SIRT6, Klotho, WRN, and ATR, was reduced in DKO lungs. (b) Knockdown of CD9 and CD81 expression with siRNA in epithelial cells additively downregulated the expression of SIRT1. (c) SIRT1 expression by ELISA (n = 4). (d) SIRT1 expression by immunocytochemistry. Bars represent means ± SD; *P < 0.05 versus si-cont. Scale bar, 50 µm for (d).
