PIN1 Protects Hair Cells and Auditory HEI-OC1 Cells against Senescence by Inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway

Figure 7

H2O2 affects the expression of PIN1 through p53, which in turn affects senescence. (a, b) Western blots for the expression of p-Akt, Akt, p-mTOR, and mTOR in HEI-OC1 cells after treatment with juglone. (c–e) Western blots for the expression of p53, p-p53, p21, p16, and PIN1 after pretreatment with the p53 inhibitor pifithrin-α (PFT-α). (f, g) SA-β-gal staining for HEI-OC1 cells ( vs. control group, # vs. DMSO+H2O2 group, & vs. H2O2 group. ).
