| Description: |
In quiescent HUVEC, 24 h of Vit.D pre-treatment reduced ROS generation induced by increasing doses of IR (p < 0.05), achieving the maximum efficacy at 75 nmol/l. Vit.D at this concentration reduced the ROS production by 33.3 % (RT 2 Gy), 46.1 % (RT 4 Gy), 63 % (RT 6 Gy), 54.1 % (RT 8 Gy). On quiescent HUVEC treated with IR, Vit.D pre-treatment, compared to non-Vit.D pre-treatment, reduced by 46.3 % and increased by 65 % the cells in G0 or G1cell cycle phase, respectively, reduced over 45.7 % the β-galactosidase content compared to cells non Vit.D pretreated and prevented the p53 phosphorylation and both p21Cip1/Waf1 and p16INK4a proteins up-regulation, all marker of cellular senescence. |

| Target gene experiment: |
Western blot |
| Target gene description: |
In proliferating HUVEC, Vit.D pre-treatment counteracted SirT1 protein expression downregulation mediated by IR and this action was annulled by U0126-mediated MEKs/ERKs inhibition. |
