The mechanism for the AT1R inhibition of anti-senescence through mitochondrial quality control. ox-LDL induced mitochondrial fission through the association of LOX-1 and AT1R and the CRAF/MEK/ERK pathway, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and senescence. AT1R inhibition attenuated senescence by suppression of this cascade and induced Rab9-dependent alternative autophagy through the CRAF/MEK axis and aspects of the mitochondrial quality control process in human VSMCs.
