Figure 5
FGF21 regulates mitochondrial dynamics via mediation of AMPK activation. (a) Western blotting and quantitative analysis of the level of p-AMPK in BM-MSCs at P4 and P12 (i, ii). (b) Western blotting and quantitative analysis of the level of p-AMPK, p-Drp1, and Mfn2 in BM-MSCs at P4 from the control siRNA or FGF21 siRNA or FGF21 siRNA+AICAR-treated group (i, ii). (c) Representative images of SA-β-gal staining in BM-MSCs at P4 from the control siRNA or FGF21 siRNA or FGF21 siRNA+AICAR-treated group (i). Percentage of SA-β-gal-positive senescent cells in control siRNA or FGF21 siRNA or FGF21 siRNA+AICAR-treated BM-MSCs at P4 (ii). Data are expressed as with per group. , . Scale μm.
