Sirt3 over-expression mitigates senescence-associated phenotypic features in natural senescent MSCs and H2O2-induced premature senescent MSCs. (A) After Sirt3 over-expression, age-related morphological alterations were evaluated in both senescent MSCs, and the cell areas and the cell aspect ratio were quantified. (B) SA-β-gal staining and quantification were performed. Meanwhile, lentivirus-expressing Sirt3 (LV-Sirt3) was also transduced into H2O2-treated MSCs, and its morphological alterations (C) and the ratio of SA-β-gal-positive cells (D) were assessed. Gene expression of senescence-related factor pl6INK4A (E) and p21WAF1/CIP1 (F) in MSCs obtained from old rats after Sirt3 repletion. Gene expression of senescence-related factor pl6INK4A (G) and p21WAF1/CIP1 (H) in Sirt3 over-expressed MSCs derived from H2O2 treatment. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 3. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. old or H2O2.
