Attenuation of p38α MAPK stress response signaling delays the in vivo aging of skeletal muscle myofibers and progenitor cells

Figure 6. Expression of ALDH1A1, a juvenile protective factor, in the gastrocnemius of young (2 mos), middle aged (13.5 mos) and aged (20 mos) WT and DN-p38α^AF/+ mice.

(A: upper panel) Levels of expression of ALDH1A1 in the gastrocnemius of WT mice. (A1) young (2.0 mos); (A3) middle aged (13.5 mos); (A5) aged (20 mos) mice. (A: lower panel) Levels of expression of ALDH1A1 in the gastrocnemius of DN-p38α^AF/+ mice; (A2) young (2.0 mos); (A4) middle aged (13.5 mos), and (A6) aged (20 mos) mice. (B) A bar graph presentation of the western blot analyses of the data in (C). Data are presented as the relative OD vs. β-actin levels. (C) Western immunoblot analyses of the levels of ALDH1A1 in young (2.0 mos), middle aged (13.5 mos) and aged (20 mos) WT and DN-p38α^AF/+ mice. (GM, right leg). *p = 0.05 vs. WT of the same age.
