Figure 1 Adriamycin RD (ARD)-induced senescence in A549 cells. (A, B) The analysis of senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining (SA-β-Gal). The SA-β-Gal-positive cell percentages were scored; the mean±SD of data from at least 3 separate experiments are visualized. Magnification: ×200 # P<0.05 vs Blank. (C, D) Western blot analysis of PDGF-a, TNF-α, PDGF-b, MMP-7, CyclinD1, and CTGF in A549 cells. Each group was assessed in triplicate, and experiments were repeated 3 times. Bar graphs show the relative quantification. # P<0.05, ## P<0.01, and #### P<0.0001 vs Blank.
