Lacidipine inhibited endothelial senescence and promoted CXCR7 expression. Cultured ECs were treated with Lacidipine, followed by bleomycin stimulation (senescence induction). Cell senescence was determined through β-galactosidase staining (A). Immunofluorescence assay was applied to determine the protein expression of CXCR7 (B). Western blot was performed to analyze the protein expression of CXCR7, P38, and p-P38 (C). qPCR (D) and Western blot were performed to analyze the levels of VCAM1, Endoglin, MCP-1, IL-6, P16, and P21 (E). (Data are mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ***p < 0.001, compared with the control group; ###p < 0.001, compared with the bleomycin group).
