Inhibition of the PI3K pathway upregulated senescence-related positive markers and downregulated senescence-related negative markers in ESCs-cocultured replicative senescent RPE cells. (A) Expression of the PI3K pathway and cellular senescence-related markers in the RRE and RRE-LY groups, as assessed by RT-qPCR (n ≥ 3 biological repeats). (B) Results for the PI3K pathway and cellular senescence-related markers in the RRE and RRE-LY groups as determined by western blotting. β-Actin was used as the internal reference. (C) The expression levels of the PI3K pathway and cellular senescence-related markers in the RRE and RRE-LY groups as determined by immunofluorescent staining. Scale bar, 50 μm. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01; ∗∗∗P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001. RRE-LY: RPE cells from passages 8 to 10 cocultured with ESCs and treated with 10 μM LY294002.
