| Description: |
A SA-β-gal assay showed that treatment with fucoidan significantly decreased MSC senescence caused by p-cresol exposure. Furthermore, cell cycle analysis revealed that fucoidan inhibited the decrease in proliferation caused by p-cresol. |

| Pathway description: |
We evaluated activation of the FAK-Akt-TWIST signal pathway after treatment with fucoidan (10 μg/mL) for 0, 24, 48, or 72 h. As expected, phosphorylation of FAK and Akt was significantly increased after fucoidan treatment in a time-dependent manner, with the maximal effect seen at 48 h. The expression of TWIST was also significantly increased in a time-dependent manner . In addition, Akt inhibition blocked the mRNA and protein expression of TWIST, indicating that fucoidan mediated TWIST expression is dependent on FAK-Akt phosphorylation.Our results show that the inhibition of Akt signaling increased the number of SA-β-gal positive cells and changed the cellular morphology of MSCs, suggesting that fucoidan-mediated Akt signaling is involved in the protection of p-cresol-induced MSC senescence. |
