Overexpression of senescence-associated lncRNA 1 (SAL-RNA1) upregulates sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) expression and suppresses p53 expression. AECIIs were transduced with the lentiviral vector LV-SAL-RNA1 and then treated with 10% cigarette smoke-media suspension (CSM) for 24 hours. Protein expression was assessed by western blotting. Bar graphs show densitometric analysis of blotting for SIRT1, forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a), p53, p21, matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-9, and tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease (TIMP)-1. Relative protein abundance was calculated using glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAPDH) as the reference. 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).
