Sirtuin 6 activation rescues the age-related decline in DNA damage repair in primary human chondrocytes

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 6. SIRT6 activation in chondrocytes from older human donors and mice. (A) Chondrocytes derived from cadaveric ankle cartilage of older donors (>70 years) were treated with 20 μM MDL-800 or vehicle (DMSO) for 48 hours. Stats by paired t-test. (B) Murine chondrocytes were isolated and treated for 48 hours with DMSO or 20 μM MDL-800. Analysis by two-way ANOVA showed significant effects of age, treatment, and their interaction. Asterisks denote significant treatment effects by Sidak’s multiple comparisons test, with *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
