The sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) activator SRT2104 suppresses p53 expression and rescues FOXO3a expression in cigarette smoke-media suspension (CSM)-treated type II alveolar epithelial cells (AECIIs). The AECIIs were treated with SRT2104 and then stimulated with 10% CSM for 24 hours. Total RNA was isolated, and the mRNA levels of SIRT1, forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a), p53, p21, matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-9, and tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease (TIMP)-1 were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR. Data represent the means ± standard deviations of three samples from a single experiment representative of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 vs. senescent AECIIs. Groups: A (AECII control group), B (senescent AECII group), C (SIRT1 selective agonist SRT2104 group) and D (LV-SAL-RNA1 transduction group).
