A Stable cells expressing short hairpin RNA against HuD (shHuD) or control RNA (shCtrl) were established using mouse neuroblastoma Neuro2A (N2a) cells. Downregulation of HuD was assessed via western blotting analysis. β-ACTIN was used as a loading control. B Cells were stained with senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA β-gal). The relative intensity of SA β-gal was assessed via densitometric analysis using Image J. C The level of p16INK4a was investigated via immunofluorescence microscopy and quantified by counting the number of p16INK4a-expressing cells. Green: p16INK4a, blue: nuclei. D The level of LAMIN B was assessed via western blotting analysis. β-ACTIN used as a loading control. E Cells were incubated with DCFDA, a fluorescent indicator of ROS and cellular ROS levels between N2a_shCtrl and N2a_shHuD cells were determined using flow cytometry. Images are representative, and data indicate the mean ± SEM from three independent analyses. Scale bar, 50 μm. The statistical significance of the data was analyzed via Student’s t-test; **p < 0.01.
