Figure 6. SIRT1 inhibited the decomposition of extracellular matrix in BMP2-induced-C3H10T1/2 cells under oxidative stress. (A, B) Immunofluorescence analysis of the expression of Col2a1 and aggrecan among the Ad-BMP2, Ad-BMP2+H₂O₂, and Ad-BMP2+Ad-SIRT1+H₂O₂ groups (200X). The Col2a1 and aggrecan proteins were labeled in red, and the nuclei were labeled in blue by DAPI staining. (C, D) The expression of Sox9, Col2a1, and aggrecan proteins decreased in the Ad-BMP2+H₂O₂ group compared with the Ad-BMP2 group, while the expression of Sox9, Col2a1, and aggrecan proteins increased in the Ad-SIRT1+Ad-BMP2+H₂O₂ group compared with that of the Ad-BMP2+H₂O₂ group. The expression of MMP2 increased in the Ad-BMP2+H₂O₂ group compared with that in the Ad-BMP2 group, while the expression of MMP2 in the SIRT1+BMP2+H₂O₂ group was significantly lower than that of the Ad-BMP2 group. (E, F) The expression of Ac-p65 and p65 among Ad-BMP2, Ad-BMP2+H₂O₂, and Ad-BMP2+Ad-SIRT1+H₂O₂ groups. The data are denoted as the mean ± SD. *: p < 0.05, Ad-BMP2+H₂O₂ vs. Ad-BMP2; #: p < 0.05, Ad-BMP2+Ad-SIRT1+H₂O₂ vs. Ad-BMP2+H₂O₂.
