Senolytic treatment eliminates senescent cells in mice fibrotic livers. The MBL-/- and WT mice (n = 6 per group) were garaged with D+Q every 3 weeks for 3 times during the fibrosis establishment. (A) Representative immunofluorescence staining of α-SMA (green) and p16 (red), p-H2.X (red), or Ki67 (red) in liver tissues. (B) Representative immunofluorescence staining of α-SMA (red) and Bax (green) or Bcl2 (green) in liver tissues. (C) The p53 and p21 protein levels in liver tissues were assessed by Western blot analysis. (D) The mRNA levels of senescence-related genes in liver tissues were assessed by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR analysis. Scale bars: 100 μm. Data are presented as means ± SEM. ∗P < .05, ∗∗P < .01, 1-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey post hoc tests for multiple group comparisons. CCL, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand; CXCL, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; HPF, high-power field; IL, interleukin; MMP, matrix metalloproteinase.
