Suppl. Fig. III. Hcy stimulated EC senescence by restoring human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) activity via DNA hypomethylation. (A) qPCR analysis of relative telomerase length (T/S ratio in P2-P10 HUVECs treated with Hcy or not, 25 μM. (B) qRT-PCR analysis of mRNA expression of hTERT, hTR, TRF2 and hTP1 relative to PBS control with Hcy, 50 μM, for 72 hr in P4-P6 HUVECs. β-actin was an internal control. (C) Proportion of SA-β-gal–positive cells to PBS control and (D) qRT-PCR analysis of hTERT mRNA expression in HUVECs with Hcy (50 μM), angiotensin II (Ang II, 100 μM) or 5-aza (8 μM) with or without pre-supplementation with FA (100 μM), L-arginine (LAR, 50 μM) or SAM (100 μM). (E) MSP assay of hTERT methylation in HUVECs with Hcy, Ang II or 5-aza treatment. *P<0.05 vs. PBS control, # P<0.05 vs. Hcy, §P<0.05 vs. Ang II, ※P<0.05 vs. 5-aza. Data are mean±SD (n=4 for T/S ratio assay; n=5 for qPCR, MSP and SA-β-gal staining assay, as well as 2 parallel samples were measured each time).

Suppl. Fig. IV. Knockdown of SP1, CTCF and DNMT1 by si-RNA in HUVECs. qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis of expression of CTCF (A), SP1 (B) and DNMT1 (C), after P4 HUVECs were transfected with 40-nM siRNA for SP1, CTCF and DNMT1 or scramble siRNA control (si-Ctrl) for 12 hr. Data are mean±SD (n=4). TATA binding protein (TBP) was an internal control. *P<0.05 vs si-Ctrl transfection.
