Figure 5. 1,25(OH)2D3 or resveratrol inhibits C2C12 cell senescence and SASP by activating Sirt1 to decrease acetylated p53 and p65 levels and activities. (A) C2C12 cells were treated with 10 µM Resveratrol (Res) and Sirt1 protein immunoprecipitation followed by Western blot analysis of Sirt1, Acel-p53 and Aceyl-p65 expression. (B) Western blot analysis of Sirt1, p53 and p65 protein levels in whole cell lysates (WCL). (C) C2C12 cells were treated with 100 µM H2O2 alone or together with 10−8M 1,25(OH)2D3 or 10 µM Resveratrol for 24 hours, proteins were extracted and p16, p53, p65, IL-1α and IL-6 levels were determined by Western blot. (D) Quantitative analysis of protein levels. Experiments were performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001 compared to control; #p < 0.05; ##p < 0.01; ###p < 0.001 compared to H2O2 alone. (E) Immunofluorescence staining showing subcellular localization of Acel-p53. (F) Immunofluorescence staining showing subcellular localization of Aceyl-p65.
